TFW’s Jtprime17 has come to us today with an interesting discovery: What appears to be product descriptions for Transformers: Shine Optimus Prime and Soundwave figures. These were going to be toys for the Transformers: Rise video game – which has since been renamed Transformers: Reactivate. It’s unknown when or if these will ever release, but you can check it out below!

“If you guys remember there was 2 listings for Tra Shine packs. Well those were originally going to be transformers rise (now reactivate) figures.

Here’s the official product description for one of the packs. I’m not sure when it will or ever see release.

TRANSFORMERS – 6.5″ Voyager Class Optimus Prime and 5.5″ Deluxe Class Soundwave – Rise Video Game-Inspired – Collectible Action and Toy Figures – Toys for Kids – Boys and Girls – F0384 – Ages 8+

Just in is what may be our first look at what seem to be Takara re-releases of the Kingdom Optimus Primal and Megatron molds in premium decos, with the pic in question showing the figures in their bot and beast modes. It also appears Megatron may have the infamous alternate grinning face mold that had gone unused.

We recommend taking this as a rumor for now until we get more information, but til then you can sound off with your first impressions in the discussion thread!

By way of chefatron on Youtube, we now have our first look at the previously-reported Legacy RID Tow-Line!

Said to be a Buzzworthy exclusive, Tow-Line is a retool of Legacy Evolution Deluxe Scraphook with a new head and color scheme that is pretty close to the original toy/cartoon model albeit with some differences. He’s shown off here in his robot and vehicle modes along with some comparisons and poses.

Check out the gallery and let us know your first impressions in the discussion thread!

TFW’s users seem to have been enjoying our continued coverage of the recently-revealed Legacy Evolution Commander Armada Optimus Prime figure, so we thought it’d be nice to highlight yet another photo gallery to start off the weekend, this one courtesy of TFW board member Phamduc.

This gallery gives us a very good look at the figure, including its super mode combination sequence, poses, and some further size comparisons.

Important to note however that it appears some aspects have been customized, including the cab robot toes and super mode eyes.

Let us know what you think of this impressive figure in the ongoing discussion thread!

Update: Few more pics added, including a more compact back kibble transformation.

Just after the big news yesterday of our first look at the upcoming Legacy Evolution Commander Armada Optimus Prime, we now have a new in-hand photo this morning of the figure’s super mode in a pose similar to the one shown off in the aforementioned product image.

While we’re still waiting for the official reveal, we will be sure to update with any further pics that come our way of this highly-anticipated figure, so stay tuned and let us know your thoughts on this guy in the ongoing discussion thread!

Update: Many additional pics added, including the cab’s bot mode, truck mode, base mode, size comparisons, and more.

Update 2: Even more images here.

Just in is our first look at the upcoming and highly-anticipated Legacy Evolution Commander Armada Optimus Prime!

While appearing to be a brand new mold and separate from the much-discussed Takara figure we had seen years ago, Prime is nevertheless looking very impressive and accurate to his OG self in the product image, which shows him off in his cab robot mode, super robot mode, and truck mode. Another image gives us what seems to be an in-hand look at the truck mode.

Hopefully we will get an official reveal soon, but until then you can check it out and let us know your first impressions in the discussion thread!

Update: Many in-hand images here and here.

Even more reveals are coming to us today from Comicbook.com – Shattered Glass Grimlock and Legacy Evolution Core Scarr/Swoop!

While the interview reveals these figures, Hasbro designer Evan Brooks also discusses the creative process behind the Rise of the Beasts movie:

“Transformers fans will finally get to see the Maximals take on the Predacons in the anticpated Rise of the Beasts, and Hasbro has already revealed several looks at the new figures hitting their Legacy and Studio Series lines. Today they’ve also revealed a look at several new additions to those lines and more, but these new additions in many ways paved the way Beast Wars and ultimately Rise of the Beasts. We’re talking about the Dinobots of course, and not only do we have an exclusive first look at some of the new Dinobot figures coming to the Legacy, Studio Series, and Generations line, but we also had the chance to discuss the importance of the Dinobots to this larger than life legacy with Hasbro Product Designer Evan Brooks.”

You can read the full piece by heading on over to Comicbook.com. As for details on the figures themselves, read on to check them out!

Hasbro Tranformers designer Mark Maher is back at it again today on his Instagram with another behind the scenes look at an upcoming figure. This time he’s putting the spotlight on Legacy Evolution Deluxe Junkion Crashbar!

“Legacy deluxe junkion Crashbar is one bad ass bot that’s ready to roll out and put the smackdown on some decepticon creeps!
.
Shout out to @artguy101 and @marcelomatere for helping with the concept design of this dude. I also drew up an outline to try to think through how much junk style is the perfect amount. Drawing post apocalyptic junkions is an absolute blast!
.
I had the privelage of getting the Crashbar name approved by our copy department too. The team all thought it suited him well, after all he can use his exhaust pipes as club weapons. He also comes equipped with dual gravity cannons that can also be used as saddle bag side boosters which are blast effect compatible. His back wheel can even come off and be used as a classic junkion shield but also features hidden manual fold out steel blades. The shield can even manually spin like a buzzsaw weapon! Sick!
.
Takio Ejima san from Takara Tomy is just a flat out amazing designer. The transformation and engineering for this dude came out phenomenal!
.
Break out his bro Scraphook and start using their EVO-fusion capabilities for some serious customization. Motorcycle with a sidecar, no problem, pop both front ends of Scraphook on either side and you can make a wicked trike bike. Very fitting for anyone rocking a handlebar mustache with a thick soul patch!
.
Happy motoring. Cock-a-doodle-doo!”
