We can share for you our first in hand images of the new Transformers Studio Series SS-51 Deluxe Dark Of The Moon Soundwave.

This figure, which is expected for release in 2020, brings us a new Deluxe mold of the Decepticon warrior. Movie collectors should remember that the original DOTM Mech Tech Deluxe Soundwave was released only in Japan (along with the Human Alliance version), and it quickly became a hard-to-find and expensive toy. Now, we have a chance to gran a Deluxe Soundwave for the Studio Series collection. This mold presents a very nice and original transformation and a great and shiny silver paint. He also comes with a nice Laserbeak figure that you can attach to Soundwave’s arm.

Check out all the images, as well as a video review, after the jump. Was this the DOTM Deluxe Soundwave you were waiting for? Let us know your impressions on the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Concept designer Shane Baxley has shared, via his Instagram account, some great concept art illustrations of Bumblebee Movie Dropkick.

We have a look at a Triple Changer Dropkick concept art using parts of the AMC Javelin car and the Bell AH1 helicopter. Additionally, we also have a look at an early idea for Dropkick’s cannon. It’s sure another great way to see the progress and evolution of the creative process in the the film.

Via Autobase Aichi we can share for you our first in hand images of the new Transformers Studio Series SS-49 Deluxe Concept Camaro Bumblebee.

This figure, which is expected for release in 2020, finally brings us a new incarnation of Bumblebee in his Camaro Concept alt mode as seen in the original Transformers 2007 live-action movie. While being a new mold, it has a similar transformation sequence to the SS-01 1976 Camaro Bumblebee, but with some different steps. The robot mode features a non-removable battle mask and his blaster. This figure really catches Bunblebee’s iconic design from the movie and in the right scale for the rest of Studio Series figures.

Brand Licensing Europe Expo 2019 is currently underway and Hasbro is a prominent figure at the event, as always.

Speaking to the gathered press, Hasbro Vice President Claire Gilchrist stated that the Bumblebee Movie “resonated with and catered to a younger audience”.

“My Little Pony and Transformers were our ‘big two’ for a long time, and they’re still at the core of Hasbro. But even with these properties we’ve delved into what fans really love about them.”

“[W]ith Transformers, last year’s Bumblebee movie hit its goal of reimagining what Transformers could be on the big screen. The film was a box office and critical success – outpacing many industry commentators. More measured, darker and a less bombastic approach to fast cars and robot battling action seemed to be aiming its sights on older, longtime fans.”

With regards to their recent acquisition of e-One, Hasbro stated  that  the company has been working on for some time to move from being a traditional toy company to a more nebulous ‘play and entertainment company‘. “The potential that the pending eOne acquisition brings to that goal is tremendous, and is a testament to our conviction to grow our vision. Just walk around the stand and see what we have on show. I’m confident you’ll agree”.

With special thanks to 2005 Boards Member Hawksford; who is reporting from the event floor, we have some cool images from the expo. You can check them out, after the jump.

Hopefully, we will hear more info regarding newly forged licensing agreements as the expo continues on Day 2 and 3.

Hasbro attended the 28th annual Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference earlier this morning and TFW2005 staff attended live to hear new Transformers tidbits straight from CEO Brian Goldner‘s mouth.

Question: Can you talk about how your experience with Transformers may have informed your desire to participate more in live TV and content production?

Mr. Goldner: “Yes. When you talk about Transformers obviously the economics there is in the film business. But overall, if you just look at the concept of being able to get the franchise economics for your stakeholders and also being able to calendarize increasingly to lineup with your global retailers; who are also looking through their entertainment councils for best in class entertainment that helps to inform more of their omni-channel efforts, more departments at retail, how many departments can we inform and bring to life by our property and we saw that with Bumblebee [movie].

When we co-developed and co-produced that film, we were able to pick a window that we thought was quite good with our partners at Paramount. We were able to activate many, many categories. Some in toys, many through licensed products, and then of course in gaming as well; as we have those assets.

So, as we go forward we see the opportunity to own more the franchise economics because the first deal we did, that took us nearly five years to create back in the early 2000, was the Transformers deal.

We have learned something over the last 12 years about what the value is of our IP. Our shareholders should benefit from that. Obviously bringing on these capabilities in TV and film, I think it’s something people are now understanding of how that helps to accelerate these efforts, to monetize these efforts, and then to bring them across the blueprint. Increasingly going after that fan-economy and activating for brand-relevance and resilience.”
