An image has been surfacing over the internet showing what seems to be a black and red redeco of the Earthrise Ironhide mold. These new colors resemble the E-Hobby exclusive Ironhide Protect Black figure from 2008 which was planned as a homage to the original Diaclone toy which later became G1 Ironhide.

While the figure looks mistransformed, we have had rumors in our forums about this redeco. In any case, take this with a grain of salt until we get official information or a more reliable source.

Via In Demand Toys we have our first stock images of the new Transformers Kingdom WFC-K43 Core Class Hot Rod for your viewing pleasure.

Now we finally have a clear look at the packaging and robot and alt mode of this rendition of Hot Rod for the small Core class scale. Hot Rod comes with a red and blue sword rather than any gun. This figure will also be released later as part of the Legacy collection.

Via Chefatron on Youtube we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Deluxe Class Bumblebee Movie Ratchet.

Ratchet proves to be another fantastic addition to the Studio Series Bumblebee movie Autobots group. Featuring a movie-accurate robot mode and a very compact Cybertronian armored vehicle alt mode. Ratchet shows a more complex and interesting transformation than usual which is much appreciated. We also have comparison shots next to Earthtise Ratchet and the rest of Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Autobots, including the new Bumblebe Movie Brawn.

Thanks to Iron Factory Weibo, we have a look at the color prototype of their Iron Samurai Series IF-EX45K Kage Shishimaru.

This figure is a black and red redeco of IF-EX45 Yoroi Shishimaru (Samurai Lio Convoy) now featuring several retooled parts and new weapons. The aforementioned retooled parts now make his beast mode look more like a manticore rather than the original lion mode. This figure is scheduled for release in mid December this year.

You can check out the photos and let us know if you’re interested after the break!

We have quite an interesting interview to share with you. Bruno Canale Fossa, General Manager of APU Productions, was interviewed by El Comercio Peru website and he told us about the work, anecdotes and challenges they had to face while working with Paramount in the filming of “Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts” in Peru.

APU Productions had previously worked in Peru with Paramount in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and “Dora and the Lost City Of Gold”, but “Rise Of The Beasts” was a completely different challenge in terms of logistic, time, vehicles and people involved. They even got a special “artistic production visa” for all the international crew. This gives us an idea of all the relevance of the movie filming in Peru where authorities, businesses, and Cuzco citizens were involved in all levels.

Via PrimevsPrime on Youtube we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Deluxe Class Bumblebee Movie Brawn.

This a very nice rendition of Brawn, as seen in the Cybertron battle in the Bumblebee movie. Robot mode is really impressive with a design which really evokes his G1 incarnation. Brawn includes a really big gun plus a drill, both of them can also be attached in his Cybertronian armored vehicle mode. The transformation seems very simple and fun, easy to go from one mode to other mode. We also have comparison images next to the rest of the Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Autobots.

The official Hasbro Pulse social media channels have uploaded a new “Who else had a Quintesson space loogie on their bingo card?” Stop Motion Video.

This clip was originally planned to be shown during the recent 35th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie in-theater showings together with the previously shared “Discontinued? What do you mean I’m being discontinued?”, “Are You Kidding Me? You Dropped The Matrix!” and “10000 Pardons, But You Mean Bombshell, Right?” videos, but it was cut from the Transformer 86 movie screening. It was shown later during the Hasbro Pulse Premium members online event. This time HasLab Unicron is the star of this new stop motion. As usual, pay attention to the voice cast:

  • John Moshita, Gregg Berger, Stan Bussh, Travis Ryan, and Francis Ausley as Quintesson Judge
  • Travis Ryan as Unicron

Be sure to watch this animation after the break and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Hot on the heels of our first US sighting of the highly anticipated Transformers Kingdom Voyager Blaster & Eject, now we have some in-hand images of the figures courtesy of 2005 Boards member LoneDragon.

Blaster proves to be a great representation of G1 Blaster in both mold and colors. As we can see from the images he’s a bit taller than Soundwave and a bit shorter than Optimus Prime. We also have some shots of his partner Eject who is a nice improvement over the Micromaster Frenzy/Rumble mold now featuring elbows.

Update: Alt mode comparison pic with Soundwave added, thanks again to LoneDragon.
