We have a first look at a new Transformers X Universal Monsters Collab that is going to be coming our way – Frankentron, a crossover with, as you could probably guess, Frankenstein!
Looking to be a retool of the WFC Impactor mold, Frankentron here should fit in nicely with the previously-released Draculus. Perhaps even more Universal Monsters Collabs will be coming down the road as well?
Only its robot mode and packaging is shown here, but stay tuned as we’ll hopefully be getting more details shortly.
Update: Full image added.
Update 2: Pre-Orders Live
TFSource, Entertainment Earth, Big Bad Toy Store, Robot Kingdom, The Chosen Prime, Ages Three and Up, Amazon

It's probably timed so we're THINKING about Halloween when the preorder goes up. If we got a Halloween item preorder in May with October release then "oh noes, I don't want to think about fall, spring just started!" Or some such corporate BS.
…of course, they could have had it in stock when the listing went up…
Vanya
Yes. Is dumb.
Anotherfan
He looks like a perfect candidate for background Marvel comics Decepticon or companion to Buzzworthy G2 Decepticons.

Makes sense. Oh well, I guess it will just be Halloween Wookie on my desk at work this year. Debating Draculus from eBay.
Deathcatg
Draculus was months late too, though I was hoping if they did another monster that they would have timed it better.

So, Pulse has this coming out in January. Is that right? For a Halloween themed toy? Or is the Halloween theme a lesser theme than the Universal Monsters theme?

I'll just see myself out now…
Purple Heart
I was pointing out there was no swivel

Is that just paint? 'Cause IDW Impactor has no swivel:

Pteraxadon
But there is…? I got wreckers two pack and I remember him having wrist swivels
Dinobot Snarl
Count me in, although, I still kinda don't like that the signature weapon doesn't become the tank signature weapon.
Neko-bot77
Yes. There's no wrist rotation on the Impactor mold due to transformation.
Pteraxadon
Is he stuck with his hands facing forwards?
Darth Gonzo
Do you guys think they might do some non-Universal Monsters at some point or no?
RodimusRex
I'd take Optimus Primal as a Flying Monkey.
Darth Gonzo
Is it weird I would like to see a Wicked Witch of the West Transformer?
geekatron prime
We will. It will be out before next Halloween.
Afterburner
Would be great to have this in hand before Halloween.
