Transformers Masterpiece MP-45 G1 Bumblebee Ver. 2.0 Delayed To November

Posted on September 19, 2019 at 10:24 am by Black Convoy under Generation 1, Transformers Masterpiece

Attention Masterpiece collectors! Takara Tomy and Takara Tomy Mall websites have updated the release date information of Masterpiece MP-45 G1 Bumblebee Ver. 2.0. This new Masterpiece figure has been delayed to November 2019.

This figure was originally scheduled for September 2019, so you will have to be patient for 2 extra months for Bumblebee to be released. We have no concrete information about this change, but it could be a good chance for fans who haven’t decided to grab this new cartoon-accurate Bumblebee mold into their collections.

You can still find pre-orders for this item in our sponsors links below. It’s good to notice that now Bumblebee will be released on the same month that Masterpiece Blackarachnia. Let us know your impressions about the new release date on the 2005 Boards!

Hasbro Comments On Transformers Franchise At The 28th Annual Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference

Posted on September 18, 2019 at 1:14 pm by Silver Optimus under Transformers Movie (Just Movie)

Hasbro attended the 28th annual Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference earlier this morning and TFW2005 staff attended live to hear new Transformers tidbits straight from CEO Brian Goldner‘s mouth.

Question: Can you talk about how your experience with Transformers may have informed your desire to participate more in live TV and content production?
Mr. Goldner: “Yes. When you talk about Transformers obviously the economics there is in the film business. But overall, if you just look at the concept of being able to get the franchise economics for your stakeholders and also being able to calendarize increasingly to lineup with your global retailers; who are also looking through their entertainment councils for best in class entertainment that helps to inform more of their omni-channel efforts, more departments at retail, how many departments can we inform and bring to life by our property and we saw that with Bumblebee [movie].
When we co-developed and co-produced that film, we were able to pick a window that we thought was quite good with our partners at Paramount. We were able to activate many, many categories. Some in toys, many through licensed products, and then of course in gaming as well; as we have those assets.
So, as we go forward we see the opportunity to own more the franchise economics because the first deal we did, that took us nearly five years to create back in the early 2000, was the Transformers deal.
We have learned something over the last 12 years about what the value is of our IP. Our shareholders should benefit from that. Obviously bringing on these capabilities in TV and film, I think it’s something people are now understanding of how that helps to accelerate these efforts, to monetize these efforts, and then to bring them across the blueprint. Increasingly going after that fan-economy and activating for brand-relevance and resilience.”
