Transformers Crossovers

Thanks to Mr Tao Toys On Weibo we have an extensive set of images of the recently released Nezha x Transformers Power Up Pack.

This figure was offered via Transformers flagship store on TMall (Chinese e-commerce website) just a few days ago and now we have our first closer look at this curious crossover aimed to the Chinese market. The figure, named Nezha Power Up Pack, comes in a new original design which includes a small articulated Nezha figure that can be placed inside the robot to become the “Protector Of The Human World” (as indicated in the box).

The robot mode (which works as a power suit in fact) stands almost the size of a modern Voyager figure and features a decent range of articulation and a lot of Chinese details and molding over it. The transformation is simple but clean and offer us a detailed red racing car. The accessories included are Nezha’s “Universal Ring” and “Fire-tipped Spear” that can be combined, or stored in the robot’s back or the car’s roof.

The back of the box reveals that there will be two more figures on this line: Lei Zhenzi and Tu Xingsun. We have to remember that this figure is released for the Chinese market and uses elements of Chinese folklore that may not be well-known outside China.

It didn’t take long after our first official images of the new Nezha x Transformers figures, for our first in-package images of this new line, thanks to Twitter user @INCHIKIBANCYO.

It’s clear that Hasbro is giving a lot of attention and love to this crossover aimed to the Chinese market. It’s good to notice that Hasbro is using lean packaging similar to some presentations for Transformers Cyberverse toys. Simple and cool open blister/box with the main art in the upper left corner and logos in the lower and right sides. The figure comes in robot mode with weapons and Nezha figurine by its side.

We should expect more reveals in the near future. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. Don’t miss the first trailer for the Nezha x Transformers cartoon here and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

The Transformers flagship store on TMall, a Chinese eCommerce website, has posted an official listing of the “Nezha x Transformers Hero Character Action Figure” from that upcoming animated series “Nezha:Transformers” featuring the well-known character “Nezha” in Chinese folklore.

Images from the listing show the “Nezha Transformer” figure will feature some traditional Chinese design elements throughout the toy, and the robot mode’s head sculpt will resemble Nezha’s traditional signature hair style. The figure appears to have articulation similar to a warrior class Transformer, and it will come with the “Universal Ring” and “Fire-tipped Spear” weapon accessories that the character Nezha is traditionally known to wield. Another gimmick this figure features is an opening chest panel where the included small pilot figure of Nezha can fit into. This figure will have a 16-step transformation from robot to car mode, and it retails for ¥169 RMB (approximately 24 USD) What are your thoughts on this unique crossover figure in the Transformers franchise history?

TFW2005 is glad to share with you our first look at the Nezha x Transformers Official Posters And Promotional Video for your viewing pleasure.

This is our first proper look at the ambitious crossover between our beloved transforming robots and one of the most popular and amazing traditional stories from Chinese culture. Young warrior Nezha will enter into the Transformers Cyberverse universe for an adventure you can only dream of.

This new project will have its own 52-episode animated series by Allspark studios (targeted for the Chinese market but it may be released globally too). Additionally, it will have its own toyline which we have seen some toys before and one of them matches what we can see in the trailer.

What do you think about this unexpected crossover? Watch the trailer below via Yu’s Hobby Land and see the promotional posters after the jump. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

A post via Weibo reveals an image of what seems to be another of the possible upcoming toys for the new Transformers x Nezha crossover for the Chinese market.

This figure looks bigger and more complex that the first Nezha x Transformers figures we saw before. This robot looks like the Nezha character in robotic form and can transform into a red racing car. But there’s more that meet the eye here. The figure comes with a small Nezha figurine that can be placed inside the robot’s chest.

We have a curious rumor to share with you. Via Transfans Facebook we have images of a possible New Nezha x Transformers Construction Brick kits for the Chinese market.

We have already reported our first look at the Nezha x Transformers toys, which are part of this ambitious crossover which will have its own TV series and now we have what seems to be a new product for this line. The promotional images feature the art and logos we have seen previously in the aformentioned toys, revealing four sets: Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee and Windblade. Each kit would be around 25 cm tall, with a second vehicle mode build and more than 400 pieces each. Anyway, take this with a grain of salt, until we get an official confirmation.

This would be the return of Transformers Construction Brick sets after the Build-To-Rule and Kre-O lines. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Via Twitter user 查水表大队 we have our first look at the upcoming Transformers x Nezha figures.

Transformers has seen a lot of crossovers over the time, and now Transformers is meeting one of the most famous (if not THE most famous) mythologies in China; The Monkey King. So far, we know that a TV series is on the works featuring 52 episodes of 11 minutes each.

As you may expect, a new toyline will be released and we have our first look at the toys. We have a 3-pack with the following characters:

• Lei Zhenzei
• Nezha
• Tu Xingsun

The figures seem to be retooled Legends sized figures (Tu Xingsun is similar to Transformers Legion Knock out), but we are yet to see more toys and sizes.

Artist Ken Christiansen has been involved with the Transformers franchise for quite a long time. We have seen a lot of his work in Transformers product packaging and other media. Now, via his Facebook account, he has shared a very interesting initial concept art of new character Ectotron from the Transformers x Ghostbusters crossover.

This the very first idea that came after the question “What if Ecto-1 turned into a transformer?”. We can see a bulkier character design and different location of Ecto-1’s parts in the robot mode. A very nice start that then was refined in the final product. We have also added the amazing final packaging art by artist Emiliano Santalucia on this post for comparison.
