Courtesy of People.com, we can share a new Deleted Scene from The Bumblebee Movie. This takes places shortly after Bumblebee messes with electricity when he is alone at home. On this scene, we can see that several kitchen appliances have come to life to wreak havoc on Charlie’s house.

Charlie and Memo find themselves against a washing machine, a fan, a dishwasher and a refrigerator. A very fun moment that didn’t get into the final cut and it should made you remember similar robots we saw in Revenge Of The Fallen.

You can watch the video below together with some screencaps after the jump. Don’t forget that Bumblebee is available on Digital now and will be on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD April 2.

Publisher Viz Media, via their Twitter account, have made the announced of a new Transformers: A Visual History Artbook.

Great news indeed, considering we don’t have many Transformers artbooks in the market. According to information shared by animenewsnetwork.com, this book is written by pop culture chronicler Jim Sorenson. The book showcases hundreds of iconic and rare images drawn from the Hasbro archives as well as development art from Paramount Studios feature films in an impressive amount of 408 pages. A very promising project, worth of any Transformers fan library.

The book can be found for pre-order on Amazon.com in 2 different editions: The regular Hardcover can be pre-ordered for $49.99, and a special Deluxe Limited Edition, which will come packaged in a collector’s box and include five exclusive art prints for $99.99. Both are scheduled for release on November 12, 2019.

Via Popular Mechanics we can share for your an interesting interview with Super7 Founder Brian Flynn about several of their new upcoming products, including the Transformers Super Cyborg Deluxe Action Figures.

Super7 is coming in hot with their extensive line of licensed merchandising and collectibles of several famous franchises like Star Wars, Master Of The Universe, Alien, Mega Man, Robotech, and even some famous music bands. Of course, Transformers is on their catalog with some impressive new cartoon accurate 11- inches tall and fully articulated Optimus Prime and Megatron action figures. They have transparent removable chest panels to show off their robotic guts inside in lieu of transforming super powers. We had a look at them via our past Toyfair coverage.

Takara Tomy Website has updated their Studio Series section with some downloadable instructions. To our surprise, the file has some extra steps not seen in Hasbro’s paperwork.

First, we have the confirmation of the correct Jetfire’s blaster form (that some fans have deduced while transforming the toy) with several simple and easy steps. Then we have a very interesting reveal. Jetfire includes an extra chest piece for his combination with Studio Series Optimus Prime. It seemed to be just an extra part, but Takara Tomy’s instructions reveal that this piece can be stored in the back of Jetfire. The hideaway works really well, and you can still transform Jetfire since it doesn’t affect the vehicle mode. Simple but very smart.

You can download the pdf file of the instructions here or you can click on the bar to check the mirrored images on this news post. Let us now your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

80’s? Music? Retro Style? Kids? Netflix’s Stranger Things got a great mix of these elements and proved to be really popular. Now a new third season is coming.

The trailer is out and, to the delight of our optics, G1 Ultra Magnus makes an appearance. It’s a curious scene where Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) is walking along with several of his motorized toys. And… yes… we can see a magically motorized G1 Ultra Magnus moving around. It seems, a motorized part of another toy was added to the feet.

A great retro call out for all G1 fans who we are sure will forgive seeing the missiles on top of Magnus’ shoulders misplaced. Check out the trailer below, and some screencaps after the jump! After that sound off on the 2005 Boards!
