Another year in the books!  2022 is done and as we wait for Evolution and Rise of the Beasts, the TFW2005 team is looking back at all the toys from last year and picking their favorites.  There were a couple which ran neck and neck but the eventual most picked BESTEST one was none other than Haslab Victory Saber.  He just eeked out Legacy Motormaster and Legacy Jhiaxus. That being said, there was a wide variation in what folks picked, both as their first choice and in the runners up, showing that there was a varied range to choose from this year.   Read on to check out what we thought and then head on over to the 2005 Boards to let us know what you think!

As we work our way to Legacy Evolution and Rise of the Beasts in 2023, we’re taking a look at some late year 2022 drops.  I’m a bit strapped for time so I was unable to dig in and do full galleries for any of these – or for pretty much anything this year except a select few.  However the fine folks at Hasbro PR sent through a care package with some recent stuff and I felt the need to crack those boxes and play around a bit.   Read on to check out just a few shots of :

Studio Series The Fallen, Studio Series TF5 Hot Rod, Studio Series 86 Ironhide, Studio Series 86 Rumble, Legacy Skullgrin, Legacy Pointblank, Legacy Dead End, Legacy Armada Starscream, and Legacy TM2 Megatron.

Each of these are out now at various stages of availability across the web, so hit our sponsors or Hasbro Pulse to snag your copies.

Time for another look at an upcoming Threezero piece – Transformers the Last Knight DLX Optimus Prime. Coming in at about 11 inches tall, the DLX line is mid range from Threezero, giving folks a sweet spot between their MDLX / standard Hasbro figures and the super big (and pricey) Premium scale. Prime is of course taller given his size on screen, so he rightfully stands well above the recent DLX TLK Bumblebee, though exact scale is not 100% here. The figure features 73 points of articulation, multiple accessory swaps for the hands, face, and weapons, plus lights in the eyes. Paint is top notch as usual, the movie toys really shine when Threezero does it right, and this version of Prime does. The fine folks over there sent us a copy a little early to take a look at, so read on to check out over 70 HD images and some additional thoughts. He hasn’t shipped in full yet, so if you dig him hit Threezero direct or our sponsors below to snag your copy!

under Transformers Trading Card Game

It seems the Magic x Transformers collaboration hasn’t ended yet. Following our first set of Transformers cards included in the new Brothers War tabletop game card sets (you can also find a gallery of their promotional box here), now we have a new series of Transformers-themed Secret Lair drops. The Secret Lair series gives select Magic cards new art and are sold via one-time deals.

There are three Transformers Secret Lair sets:

  • Transformers: Optimus Prime vs. Megatron
  • Transformers: Roll Out or Rise Up
  • Transformers: One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall.

Hasbro was kind enough to send us a little promo box to get us all ready for the drops.  The set includes a Transformers lunchbox with Transformers x Magic artwork, a T-shirt also with artwork from the set, a see through post card of Optimus, and a Ultra Pro reversible playmat featuring Optimus in both modes.

In addition, each of these Secret Lair sets come with an additional secret card, check back later in the week to see it!

Each of these sets of cards will cost $29.99 for non-foiled cards, and $39.99 for foil and they will go on sale on December 5th at 9 a.m. PST over at https://secretlair.wizards.com/us. See all the images after the jump and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
