Takara’s official Twitter page has dropped a teaser for an upcoming Generations Selects figure, featuring a silhouette that seems oddly familiar. The kanji on the teaser reads “Wild Beast Warriors are back” which indicates the potential for a team or at the very least characters with beast alternate modes.

For now the only other info we have is pure speculation, but in the meantime be sure to join the discussion below to share your thoughts and excitement!

The team over at Space Ape have been working hard on a massive new event for the Transformers Earth Wars game and they’ve shared the details with us! In a brand new campaign event, players will be able to unlock characters Omega Supreme and Overlord to add to their rosters! However, they are not like regular bots. These two will take on the role of a combiner and function as such despite not being combiners themselves. The campaign will follow the upcoming War For Cybertron Netflix series and take place during the exodus from Cybertron, depicting Omega’s last stand in an attempt to help the Autobots flee the planet.

War For Cybertron-themed skins are also going to be available so players can change the look of certain bots to match the show’s aesthetic and help bring this crossover to life! The campaign and characters are set to be released on the same date as the Netflix series which is July 30th (this Thursday), but in the meantime be sure to check out the art after the jump and share your thoughts and excitement in the Earth Wars thread!

under Crossovers

Thanks to IGN, we have our first full, official look at the upcoming Top Gun crossover figure, Maverick! We got a glimpse at his alt mode and packaging a little while back, but now we have a plethora of images of both modes and his accessories! Maverick transforms into a F-14 Tomcat fighter jet featured in the Top Gun film and comes with a tiny Tom Cruise on a motorcycle, a volleyball, and an extra pair of hands for playing with said volleyball. The screen accuracy doesn’t stop there however, as he also has a highly-detailed headsculpt based on his namesake’s helmet from the film to tie the look together.

Maverick will be going live for pre-order on Hasbro Pulse at 10am PST/1pm EST today and will retail for $49.99 USD.

under Crossovers

As some of you Back to the Future fans may know, the 35th anniversary for the iconic film franchise is coming up tomorrow, July 3rd, and to celebrate 35 years of time traveling in a souped-up DeLorean Hasbro is making and has fully revealed their crossover Transformers figure, Gigawatt! We recently learned of the name and a bit more about the figure, but thanks to Mashable we now have plenty of images of the highly-anticipated blast from the past!

Gigawatt seems to be a complete overhaul of the Siege Sideswipe mold (primarily the engineering) and features a flux capacitor with times and dates on his chest, goggles mimicking those of Doc’s, and a slew of other details that just ooze nostalgia. In addition to a faithful recreation given Cybertronian life, Gigawatt comes complete with G1-style packaging much like Ectotron. However there are two different versions of this figure. There are Pulse and Walmart versions, the latter of which is apparently limited and comes numbered with sequences of “0001 of 1985” on a graphic that replicates a California license plate. Additionally, a new special 4-issue comic miniseries crossover comic by IDW has been announced for October 1, 2020.

In addition to the figure reveals, we also have a couple pieces of artwork commemorating the reveal! And possibly teasing some hijinks down the road with Doc and Marty?

Check out the pics after the jump, and be sure to share your thoughts and excitement in the discussion!
