The official Monogram website has been updated with our first official images of their new Transformer 40th Anniversary 3D Foam Bag Clips.
Monogram had previously released blind-bag Evergreen G1 and Rise Of The Beasts foam bag clips, and other products, and now they reveal new G1-toy-design and deco Transformers bag clips. There are 11 characters available: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Swerve, Blaster, Megatron, Astrotrain, Soundwave, Starscream, Devastator and Laserbeak.
Our first promotional images show color sketches of all characters, and there’s no concrete information on price or release date yet. Stay tuned with this space for more updates!
Update: Courtesy of our very own newsie Jacer we have images of some physical samples of these items which were on display at SDCC 2024.
See the promotional image after the jump and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Thanks for posting. I couldn't figure out the bag clip mechanism, until I saw your photos.

Yeah astrotrain is a odd one, My mind went to the clones too but I guess like Megatron, he's a very literal translation of the boxart deco?
Boople Barp
Very fascinating.

Such an awesomely wild character selection, and amazingly odd (but I love it) that they made them toy-based (especially BBs toy head)
BB Shockwave
Such odd selections. And based on toys… Astrotrain actually is colored like Pounce!

What did they do to my boi Swerve? The concept art is awesome, but all the facial details seem lost in the actual, physical thing.
They look really nice though. But the material is probably a dirt/dust/hair magnets and will get all sticky soon enough. I don't ever see these up here in Canada or in the area where I live, but if I do see it and for a "no-stress on my wallet" price, I'll probably get a blind bag or three for the novelty and G1 toy accuracy sake.

Was Monogram the same company that did the Rise of the Beasts ones? The quality is actually impressive for little foam thingies, the colors seem to be molded in. I've had Scourge and Bee hanging off my bag for over a year and they barely have any scuffs. Should be able to find these at Target, Gamestop, and Frys/Hot Topic/Spencers type places.

lol np
Yes, Screamer is definitely based on his Pretender figure

But I find interesting is that while it's pretty easy to notice that these are based off of the generation one toys, starscream in particular seems to be more based off of his pretender, with the blue cockpit and white helmet

Huh, go figure. Thanks for the clarification.

Totally forgot to share these at SDCC, Sorry @Black Convoy ♂️
