under Generation 1, Japanese Transformers, Transformers Masterpiece

Via Hobby Dengeki we have images of the Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MPG-01 Trainbot Shouki which was on exhibit at the Japan Toy Awards 2022 event.

This event is held by the Japan Toy Association to promote innovative and remarkable products in the Japanese toy industry. The new Masterpiece MPG-01 Trainbot Shouki was selected as finalist in the High Target category and several production samples were on display in robot, shinkansen/bullet train and combiner mode. To top it all, veteran Transformers designer and Transformers Hall Of Fame 2010 inductee Kojin Ono was invited to the presentation. One of the slides gave us a glimpse of all the upcoming Masterpiece Trainbots silhouettes.

under Transformers Cyberverse, Transformers Movie Toys & Products

Via UK website ABGee we have our first look at the packaging of the new Transformers: Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures Dinobots Unite Smash Changer Optimus Prime.

While this figure was officially revealed back in February this year, we have new stock images revealing the packaging of this new 9-inch Optimus Prime figure which transforms from truck to robot in just 3 steps…in fact, you smash the figure to do it.

It’s good to notice that the robot mode design is pretty similar to Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime rather than Cyberverse, and some might say it could be an early Rise Of The Beasts Optimus Prime toy. In any case, all the packaging and art of this windowless box is based on the Transformers: Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures Dinobots Unite box style. It is expected to retail for $31.49 and scheduled for release in October.

The official Hasbro China and G-Shock Weibo accounts have posted up our first promotional video of a new Transformers x G-Shock “Back To The 80’s” collaboration.

Transformers now team up with popular Casio G-Shock watches bringing a retro style decoration with colors inspired by Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee. There are also some colorful promotional art images of each watch (thanks to Uranusdd Uranusdd on Facebook) that we are sure will please your optics.

To top it all, thanks to ks_time_store on Instagram, we have picture of the G-Shock Optimus Prime and Megatron revealing that they have the face of each character engraved in the steel back of each watch. But there’s more then meets the eye here, since they will come with a “Cybertronian” round case for you to store your watch.

While we still have no concrete information on price or release date, you can see all the images after the jump as well as a YouTube mirror of the promotional video. Then, share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

under Generation 1, Generations / Classics

Chefatron on YouTube brings us a third set of images of a new Legacy Wave 2 figure. This time we can share for you an in-hand gallery of Transformers Legacy Deluxe Wildrider.

This is the second Legacy Stunticon released and he’s a completely new mold with a great G1-cartoon accurate design in both modes. While Wildrider has got a quite a big backpack kibble, robot mode looks clean and poseable with a solid alt mode which really captures his animation design. To top it all, we also have a look a the combiner mode to be attached to Menasor’s leg frame. The images also show Wildrider next to Legacy Dragstrip and Combiner Wars Wildrider.
