Transformers news for Transformers Generations and Transformers Classics toys.

under Generations / Classics, Transformers Botbots, Transformers Cyberverse, Transformers Movie Toys & Products, Transformers Trading Card Game

This year is the 35th Anniversary of Transformers, and Hasbro is kicking off the celebration with a promotional mailer featuring a selection of current offerings from various lines.  Studio Series, The Bumblebee Movie, Cyberverse, Bot Bots and Generations War for Cybertron Siege are all represented.  We are all at different points in our collecting habits, from the little tikes all the way up to their fathers, and these figures show there is truly something for everyone.   The figs came in a big kick ass box (you can see our recent Siege galleries here), which Hasbro always does well.  Inside the box there is a secret code that you can use to unlock special content at the Teletraan-1 Database on Hasbro’s website.  You can find that code inside this story and get the content for yourselves!

There is a lot of great stuff still to come in 2019, from Siege to Masterpiece and beyond, so stay tuned for more info as things drop throughout the year!  Let’s Roll! [Read more…]

Autobase Aichi has uploaded some in-hand images of the new War For Cybertron: Siege Deluxe Class Refraktor (Reflector) for your viewing pleasure.

The original G1 Reflector was in fact three robots that combined into a classic film camera. Siege brings a new incarnation of the characters, but with a new name possibly for trademark reasons. Each Refraktor toy can transform into a spaceship, and now you have to buy three of them to be combined into a modern camera mode, which includes a stand. The individual robots are smaller than other Siege Deluxe toys, but the combined camera mode sure looks big even for a Leader Class figure like Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime, as seen in the images.

Check out all the images, as well as a video review, after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Autobase Aichi has uploaded some in-hand images of the new War For Cybertron: Deluxe Class Weaponizer Brunt.

The images show off Brunt’s robot mode which looks very poseable and integrated for a figure of this size. The Cybertronian tank alt mode really captures the spirit of the original G1 Brunt which was a part of G1 Trypticon. We also have images of Brunt’s C.O.M.B.A.T. System to form armor and weapons for other figures of the line. We have a great shot of Brunt as an arsenal for Siege Ironhide.

Check out all the images, as well as a video review, after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

We’ve got some new packaging images of upcoming Transformers toys to share with you. First of all, there is a package image of the Siege Off Road Micromasters, Highjump and Powertrain. This duo is the sole new release in Siege Micromasters Wave 4, and adds two more Micromasters to the growing series of pocket sized homages to the original Generation 1 Micro Transformers. They’re looking pretty cool, with Highjump looking to be a particularly fun little toy. Check out the packaging image attached to this post, care of In Demand Toys on Facebook.

Fellow Transformers collectors in Netherlands have got a kind of unusual new item on their local shelves. 2005 Boards member ElSnarfo shared an image on our Netherlands Transformers Sightings forum showing off Power of the Primes Wreck-Gar.

Wreck-Gar, who was a Walgreens exclusive in the US, was spotted at drug store chain Kruidvat for only 9.99 Euros. As noticed by our very own 2005 Boards member Nevermore, this figure is not an import since it comes in proper European packaging. It is also available on Kruidvat website with the EAN barcode 5010993519392 confirming the very first official European release of the figure.

Happy hunting!

Via In Demand Toys on Facebook, we have a look at Transformers Siege Voyager Wave 3 in their packaging. These images show us the upcoming Thundercracker redeco of Starscream and the all-new Springer in their boxes. Notably, Thundercrakcer sports a smirking expression on his face – but would this have been more fitting on Starscream, who is characterized as being a smirking sly snake of a Decepticon? As for Springer – he looks great, an animation inspired version of the character in contract to 2013’s more comic inspired version.

Check out the boxes of both characters attached to this post.

Update – care of Forbidden Planet we’ve got new out of box stock images for both Springer and Thundercracker – both are looking like great and fun toys, and we look forward to enjoying them.
