Hot off the heels of yesterday’s sighting of the new Studio Series 86 Voyagers comes another US retail sighting. The new Deluxe class figures consisting of Jazz, Kup and Blurr were found (along with the voyagers) at a Target in Menifee, CA. Thanks to 2005 board member Jxiaxus666 for relaying the sighting from a Transformers Facebook group.

Celebrating the classic 1986 animated movie, these new Studio Series figures have release dates for April 2021 on most online retailer websites. Are you finding these figures in your area? Sound off in the ongoing discussion!

under Crossovers

The official Transformers Instagram page just teased what’s “neXt” in the collaborative crossovers line. Joining Ectotron, Gigawatt and Maverick is the merry band of mutants known as the X-Men! The image features the X-Men’s main mode of transportation, the Blackbird. While that’s not confirming what this will be, it’s a good indicator.

Speculate on the 2005 Boards on what this next Crossover figure could be and what the addition of this comic related franchise could bring about in the future of the Crossovers line.

under Beast Wars, Comics

The Hollywoodreporter has published an article announcing a new series from Transformers comic publisher IDW publishing. To celebrate the 25th anniversary, IDW will bring us Transformers: Beast Wars! The series will be written by Erik Burnham (Transformers/Ghostbusters) and artist Josh Burcham (LSOTW and countless other Transformers projects). After a few one off issues, this series will mark Josh Burcham’s first ongoing gig on pencil duties. Covers for the first issue coming in February are attached to this news story and were done by Josh Burcham, Pico Ossio, Dan Schoening and Nick Brokenshire.

Burcham’s cover for the first issue depicts Megatron in the background while the characters in the foreground are Optimus Primal, Rhinox, Cheetor, Rattrap and a new female character that has a bat Beast mode (who resembles the Bat version of Optimus Primal a bit!)

Mastermind Creations has revealed their next entry in their popular Reformatted line via their Facebook page. This time around we get the monumental mutinous master of escape, Exitus aka Getaway. This is Mastermind Creations’ interpretation of the popular power master as he appeared in More Than Meets the Eye where he had one of the most villainous heel turns into Transformers history.

Exitus is expected this upcoming fourth quarter of 2020. Click the title bar to view the images and join the discussion!

Mastermind Creations has updated their social media accounts with an announcement of a new figure in their popular Reformatted line. This time around, the group is tackling their interpretation of Optimus Prime as he appeared in early IDW stories such as Stormbringer and the flashback stories in MTMTE. Nothing much else is shown beyond this one image other than the figure appears to have many points of articulation. We’ll be keeping an eye on this for more pics of robot mode and vehicle mode. Price and release date are unknown at this time.

For now, fans can speculate in our third party forum after the jump.

TF_pr has updated their twitter page with some new photos of the upcoming EX-15 Double Crosser, the Takara version of the Earthrise Battlemaster Doublecrosser. While not a lot of differences are shown between the Takara and Hasbro versions, these new photos do show that parts of the shield come off of Double Crosser and can be used as weapons. Cool stuff!

Check out the pics after the jump.
