Transformers Haslab Deathsaurus Officially Revealed, Crowdfunding Live Now

Posted on October 27, 2022 at 6:57 pm by Tony_Bacala under Generations / Classics

Hasbro just officially launched the next Transformers Haslab with the reveal of Victory Deathsaurus! Coming in at $179.99 he needs 11,000 backers to go into production. At 14k – a weapon pack unlocks. At 17k – a flight stand and Emperor’s Throne unlocks. Check out all the details below and after the break, then head on over to Hasbro Pulse to back the project!

One of the most feared beings in the known universe, Deathsaurus has spread his reign of terror and destruction for eons. The only force stopping him from achieving ultimate power has been that annoyance of an Autobot, Star Saber. But his brilliant mind has thought up a new plan, and this time, nothing can stop the Emperor of Destruction. Deathsaurus is launching his next attack – turn HasLab into the ultimate weapon and destroy Star Saber, once and for all!

Hasbro Pulse is bringing Transformers fans a battle of epic proportions! Last year, HasLab brought Japanese canon into the world of Transformers for the first time with Victory Saber*. Now, we invite you to welcome the archnemesis of the Supreme Commander of the Autobots into your collection. The powerful and ruthless Decepticon, Deathsaurus, is the next HasLab project!
