New gallery tonight for a soon to drop Threezero Transformers piece – MDLX Rodimus.  MDLX is their smallest scale, and right now is focusing on Generation 1 re-imagined designs.   The non-transforming figures still have massive articulation, paint, and accessories though with Rodimus here having 46 points, die cast, 8 sets of hands, and dual blasters that combine.  He also has an extra hand for Optimus Prime so you can recreate the classic handshake image.  While he doesn’t come with a Matrix, he has hands that can hold Optimus’.

Threezero was kind enough to send through a copy a little early, he’s due to ship Q3 2023, so get ready.  Read on to check some in-hand pics, then hit our sponsors below or the Threezero Store to pick up your copy!

ME GRIMLOCK KING!  Today gives us long time Transformers fans a true treat.  Robosen, the robotics company which brought us the first auto transforming, walking, talking, driving Optimus Prime,  is back with their next big release – Grimlock!  And yes, he does transform!   Coming in at 15.5 inches tall, this is basically a double size Masterpiece Grimlock toy, which then transforms, talks, walks, does pre-programmed skits, and much more.

He’s been announced and is live for order, so if you want to dig right in, you can hit the official page over here.  If you want to stick around, we actually have one IN HAND right now and have done up some pictures and a quick video showing him off.  Read on to check out our shots and some quick thoughts!

Taking a look at another MDLX release from Threezero – MEGATRON.  This is their smaller scale, non-transforming action figure line, which is Generation 1 inspired.  Modern designs remix the old school looks while infusing them with tons of articulation and high quality paint.  They also come in at a significantly smaller price point than the DLX and Premium scales.  Megatron features 45 points of articulation, stands around 7 inches tall, has multiple hands and his Fusion Canon.  If you are looking for a great desk mate you can pick up and play around with, this Megatron is a joy to pose and looks great too.

Threezero was kind enough to send through a copy a little early, he’s due to ship right about now, so get ready.  Read on to check some in-hand pics, then hit our sponsors below or the Threezero Store to pick up your copy!

Taking another look at a fresh Robosen product today – the Transformers Rise of the Beasts Optimus Prime Signature Series Limited Edition figure.  Optimus is based on his recent movie look from ROTB, coming with multiple accessories pulled from his appearance in the flick.  This is another non-transforming product, similar to G1 Bumblebee.  The focus is on the robot, it’s movements, lights and sounds – giving you a display piece that you can interact with and customize.

Pre-Orders are now 30 days out from closing, so if you are interested in picking up the limited edition version of the unit, you can do so over at Robosen here (#ad).  The folks at Robosen let us know that the total units will be limited to 3,000 pieces, and the corresponding collector coins will be numbered that way as well.

Robosen was kind enough to send through an early copy of the unit, so read on to check out our in-hand pictures and a quick simple video showing off what he can do!

Today we are taking a look at the next Transformers product from Robosen – Performance G1 Bumblebee (#ad). He snuck out earlier in the year via clips from a corporate event, but he’s going live to the rest of the world today.  Not just for pre-order either, he’s going live and will start shipping right away!

While Flagship and Elite Optimus Prime both have a transforming aspect to them, Bumblebee here does not. The focus is on action poses, voice and music. That voice being G1 voice actor Dan Gilvezan (or a very good copy confirmed, it’s him)  and the music being official G1 tunes, most being available on the recent vinyl record release. The combination of a very classic cartoon look, those sounds, and the fact you can control it all via an app kicks nostalgia into high gear.

Robosen was kind enough to send through a copy for us to check out a bit early, so read on for some quick thoughts, some pics of it in hand, and a simple video showing off some of what he can do!

As we work our way to Legacy Evolution and Rise of the Beasts in 2023, we’re taking a look at some late year 2022 drops.  I’m a bit strapped for time so I was unable to dig in and do full galleries for any of these – or for pretty much anything this year except a select few.  However the fine folks at Hasbro PR sent through a care package with some recent stuff and I felt the need to crack those boxes and play around a bit.   Read on to check out just a few shots of :

Studio Series The Fallen, Studio Series TF5 Hot Rod, Studio Series 86 Ironhide, Studio Series 86 Rumble, Legacy Skullgrin, Legacy Pointblank, Legacy Dead End, Legacy Armada Starscream, and Legacy TM2 Megatron.

Each of these are out now at various stages of availability across the web, so hit our sponsors or Hasbro Pulse to snag your copies.

Time for another look at an upcoming Threezero piece – Transformers the Last Knight DLX Optimus Prime. Coming in at about 11 inches tall, the DLX line is mid range from Threezero, giving folks a sweet spot between their MDLX / standard Hasbro figures and the super big (and pricey) Premium scale. Prime is of course taller given his size on screen, so he rightfully stands well above the recent DLX TLK Bumblebee, though exact scale is not 100% here. The figure features 73 points of articulation, multiple accessory swaps for the hands, face, and weapons, plus lights in the eyes. Paint is top notch as usual, the movie toys really shine when Threezero does it right, and this version of Prime does. The fine folks over there sent us a copy a little early to take a look at, so read on to check out over 70 HD images and some additional thoughts. He hasn’t shipped in full yet, so if you dig him hit Threezero direct or our sponsors below to snag your copy!

Taking a look today at another Threezero Transformers piece – DLX scale Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire.  This is their mid scale tier, standing at about 15 inches tall and a whopping 65 points of articulation.  In addition, he comes apart into many (many many) pieces in order to combine with the previously released Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime to make Jetpower Optimus Prime.  I’ve had this guy in hand a bit and want to thank Threezero for their patience as I handled some things and finally got the gallery done.   On the other hand, he is now shipping globally so if you dig what you see you can grab him now! Check our sponsors below, then read on for some quick thoughts and about 70 HD Images!

Taking an in-hand look at the recent Premium Scale release from ThreeZero for Transformers Bumblebee Optimus Prime.  This is the larger size line, not to be confused with the also-awesome DLX scale figures which are smaller in scale and price.  Premium are the big boys, meant to be centerpieces of your display.  He faithfully represents Optimus’ look from the 2018 Bumblebee movie, in both his Cybertron and Earth modes due to interchangeable parts.  Lights are present in the eyes and the blaster, plus he sports 140 (yes, 140) points of articulation.  Every part is touched with high end paint and weathering, so he looks like he popped right off the screen and is sitting in front of you once in hand.

This is a review copy (thanks to ThreeZero for sending it through), so things may change a bit for final release.  Optimus should be shipping soon, with expected delivery dates in Q3 2022 (though that can change).  If you are still on the fence with him, some of our sponsors below still have him available to order.

Taking a quick look today at Threezero‘s DLX scale Transformers The Last Knight Bumblebee.   This is a smaller version of their Premium scale offering coming in at 9 inches tall with a die cast frame, LED lights in the eyes, and 60+ points of articulation.  It keeps on with the high end feel of previous DLX figures, the new smaller package compared to Premium, and smaller price.  We’ve had him in hand a bit, but IRL things has our galleries on a bit of a delay.  He’s now shipping and some folks already have him in hand.  Some retailers are still awaiting stock, so there is time to get your orders in if you dig him.  We’ll let the pics and forum discussion speak for themselves, but bottom line – another fantastically executed piece for those looking to rep the movies in physical form on their shelves, where transformations aren’t the primary concern.

Read on to check out our set of over 45 HD images courtesy of Threezero.  Hit our sponsors below to check for stock.  Stay tuned after SDCC for our in-hand shots of DLX Jetfire and Premium BB Optimus.
