Transformers news for Transformers Generations and Transformers Classics toys.

An image has been surfacing over the internet showing what seems to be a black and red redeco of the Earthrise Ironhide mold. These new colors resemble the E-Hobby exclusive Ironhide Protect Black figure from 2008 which was planned as a homage to the original Diaclone toy which later became G1 Ironhide.

While the figure looks mistransformed, we have had rumors in our forums about this redeco. In any case, take this with a grain of salt until we get official information or a more reliable source.

TFW2005 was able to have a virtual sit down with the Transformers team along with others in the fandom to discuss Studio Series, and specifically the recently revealed Bumblebee movie figures.  Included were insights into the process of designing the figure alt modes from scratch with no reference, a couple Kingdom Wave 5 surprises, and a lot more.  We were even able to ask some questions.  To cap it off, the team officially revealed Bumblebee Movie Studio Series Arcee.  Read on to check out some notes from the event along with pics.

* This story will be updated over time as we process two hours of notes.

Update 1 : Added paraphrased notes from the event.

Update 2 : Added official product images for discussed Studio Series and Kingdom figures.

Via In Demand Toys we have our first stock images of the new Transformers Kingdom WFC-K43 Core Class Hot Rod for your viewing pleasure.

Now we finally have a clear look at the packaging and robot and alt mode of this rendition of Hot Rod for the small Core class scale. Hot Rod comes with a red and blue sword rather than any gun. This figure will also be released later as part of the Legacy collection.

The official Hasbro Pulse social media channels have uploaded a new “Who else had a Quintesson space loogie on their bingo card?” Stop Motion Video.

This clip was originally planned to be shown during the recent 35th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie in-theater showings together with the previously shared “Discontinued? What do you mean I’m being discontinued?”, “Are You Kidding Me? You Dropped The Matrix!” and “10000 Pardons, But You Mean Bombshell, Right?” videos, but it was cut from the Transformer 86 movie screening. It was shown later during the Hasbro Pulse Premium members online event. This time HasLab Unicron is the star of this new stop motion. As usual, pay attention to the voice cast:

  • John Moshita, Gregg Berger, Stan Bussh, Travis Ryan, and Francis Ausley as Quintesson Judge
  • Travis Ryan as Unicron

Be sure to watch this animation after the break and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Currently making the rounds on the net is a photo of what seems to be a new Beast Wars Buzzsaw figure.

As with the original it is a reuse of the (Kingdom) Waspinator mold with a new head sculpt – that of the “normal” robot head rather than the mutant one. The image shows him only in robot mode, and he is quite mistransformed to boot, although he overall appears to be very accurate to the aforementioned original figure.

As stated we still have no official word on this photo’s legitimacy, nor how it will be released if it is in fact real, so we advise taking it as a rumor until then.

Hot on the heels of our first US sighting of the highly anticipated Transformers Kingdom Voyager Blaster & Eject, now we have some in-hand images of the figures courtesy of 2005 Boards member LoneDragon.

Blaster proves to be a great representation of G1 Blaster in both mold and colors. As we can see from the images he’s a bit taller than Soundwave and a bit shorter than Optimus Prime. We also have some shots of his partner Eject who is a nice improvement over the Micromaster Frenzy/Rumble mold now featuring elbows.

Update: Alt mode comparison pic with Soundwave added, thanks again to LoneDragon.

Via a listing on eBay from user rubyemeralite, we have what may be our first look at the upcoming Transformers Kingdom Core Class Hot Rod figure!

The image provided shows off Hot Rod in both his robot and vehicle modes, as well as revealing that he does indeed come with a sword accessory as seen on the Legacy toyline artwork. According to the text he will take 8 steps to transform.

We recommend taking this with a grain of salt until we receive official confirmation, but until then you can sound off with your first impressions on the boards!
