Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner attended the 35th Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference in New York, to say a few words about his company. He had lots of nice things to say about Transformers.

Mr. Goldner stated:

“We partner with Paramount to make a major feature length films. The most notable one recently was Bumblebee. It came out last year and had great success in re-engaging fans, families and kids all over the world. [We are] very happy with the result; not just here but in China. Re-engaging our fans which leads to this full blueprint activation.

When people ask me what do I mean by ‘activating the blueprint?’, it really means that we’re bringing to life that brand on any number of dimensions. So, whether it’s our Backflip Studios mobile gaming studio in Boulder, Colorado making our Transformers: Earth Wars mobile game or whether it’s t-shirts or comic books or bringing to life a location based entertainment experience in Asia, we’re able to bring this brand to life across all elements of the blueprint.”

He further stated “For 2019, a number of new entertainment initiatives for new consumer demographics” and displayed the release dates of the said initiatives as a slide:

  • 2019 Spring – Transformers: Bumblebee movie Home Release
  • 2019 Spring – New Season of Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (on Discovery Family)
  • 2019 Fall – Transformers: Cyberverse Chapter 2 – Power Of The Spark (on Cartoon Network & You Tube)

Via Transformers Peru we can report a very unexpected sighting of new toys at Peruvian retail.

Following the reports in Chile now Peruvian supermarket Maxx (part of Ripley stores here) in Megaplaza Mall received the small and fun Botbots Series 1. Only 5-packs were available for 44.90 Soles or $13.60 approximately, which is a fair price.

Rescue Bots Academy Whirl and Medix big and simple transforming figures were also available in the same store together with the Mega Mighties Rescue Bots Bumblebee and Hot Shot. It’s not usual to see new toys at stores during the beginning of school period in Latin America, but let’s hope this means Siege and Studio Series toys may surface any time soon.

Happy hunting!

As a nice extra bonus, the Transformers Fidget It Cube Bumblebee and Optimus Prime were spotted in the same store for economic 990 Chilean Pesos ($1,52).
