Our team at the San Diego Comic Con 2023 event have just sent us images of the Transformers Hasbro Booth. A nice display which includes a real ROTB Mirage car!
See the new images after the break and sound off on the 2005 Boards!
Another leak has come our way this morning via an eBay auction, this time our first look at the upcoming Legacy Evolution Leader Prime Dreadwing!
A reuse of the previous Skyquake figure, Dreadwing is shown here in an accurate deco along with a new cannon mold. He’s displayed in his robot and jet modes along with a comparison with his OG TFP toy.
Check it out after the break!
Continuing on we also have our first look at R.E.D. Prime Starscream! The images provided show him with his accessories and alternate hands. Overall he’s looking pretty cartoon accurate.
Prime fans, let us know if you’re interested in picking this guy up!
Hasbro Transformers designer Mark Maher is back at it tonight on his Instagram giving us a behind the scenes look at the development of a new Transformers figure – this time he’s putting the spotlight on Legacy Evolution Leader TFP Skyquake!
“Leader Legacy Evolution Skyquake is ready to take over the seeker skies and put the smackdown on some autobrats!
.
The second image features an outline done by the great @marcelomatere when the prime redesigns were decided upon before we started Legacy. Since there was mixed feedback on Arcee and Bulkhead I decided to take a swing. My linework is featured underneath Marcelo’s , then my colored concept is featured on the next slide. Then the amazing Hisashi Yuki san from Takara Tomy had a great sketch with some renditions and suggestions. I reformatted my design and along the design development journey we both went.
You can see all the iterations of his head sculpt throughout the process.
.
The transformation sequence is complex but strong, Yuki sans transformations are always amazing and I often stare in wonderment when he figures them out. The articulation packed into this beast is just wild. You just get a great experience of all kinds of abilities and poses.
.
IMPORTANT: this sample does not have the final colors, I will try and update yall with the final deets. But I can assure you this guy has some sweet candy metallic paint applications that do wonderous things in good lighting.
.
He does have head light piping and the engines on his feet along with his gatling blaster are blast effect compatible. The cockpit and sculpt details all over this dude command a decepticons 🫡 respect.
.
Please do yourself a favor and rewatch how amazing his brief appearance in the Prime series is, you will not regret it! 😃”
TFW’s Jtprime17 and Mr. Chaos have brought us yet another 2023 Transformers product listing today, and this time it’s for a Legacy Leader Prime Dreadwing!
This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise after Skyquake’s inclusion in our first big Legacy Year 2 leak, but it’s still nice to have confirmation nonetheless.
Let us know what you’re hoping to see out of this mold on the boards!
Courtesy of Hasbro designer Mark “Markclonus” Maher, via his Instagram account, we can share for you some official in-hand images of the new Transformers Legacy Deluxe Knockout plus some concept art images of the toy. As usual, Mark has also shared some interesting trivia and secrets of the development of this toy, including all the designers involved and a concept energon weapon.
I’ve been seeing alot of posts enjoying the new Legacy Deluxe Knockout figure, so its his time to shine! @marcelomatere worked with John Warden on the initial prime character concepts and I really loved his awesome style jammed into this upfront artwork. Please be sure to check out his work as he is an absolute TF beast, and better yet, a fantastic dude!
After he was kicked on over to Takara Tomy, Yuya san, I believe, did the car concept artwork, looks like his hand style, which is of course, nasty nice!
I worked with Yuki san on the figure after the concept phase and he actually suggested making this guy a partial off of the Studio Series Jazz mold since the robot designs were so much alike. I was simply like…Yuki san, u r a genius!
You can then see me adding some 90’s flare to his alt mode and really concentrating on getting a decent head design. Note to self, sculpt lines get sculpted a whole lot deeper on the face then ever intended! 🤷🏻♂️
You can also see a concept energon weapon that was initially drawn up by @santalux75 , another amazing artist you should check out! I did an overlay drawing of what came back from the block model 3d render to try and make it a cooler weapon then just a cattleprod!
My favorite…deco time! Obviously the mustard gold rims were a must, but I concepted out a bunch of different custom styled graphics for the side of the whip. I ended up with somthing closer to his show appearance but dialed it back to something I’d see when I desperately wanted a dope car as a kid growing up in the 90’s!
I hope you pick up this sultry crimson baddie and enjoy replaying lines from the Prime series over in your head, or even outloud, why not, have fun!
“Sweet rims…real heavy duty!” 😎

Once again thanks to Nimama’s Transformers Facebook we have our first in-hand images of the recently revealed Transformers R.E.D. Transformers Prime Optimus Prime & Megatron.
While these figures were just officially revealed in the Hasbro’s Transformers brand live stream 6/23, they were found a few hours before at a Toys”R”Us in Taiwan (together with G1 Thundercracker). These new action figures are cartoon-accurate representations of the Autobot and Decepticon commanders from the Transformers Prime universe. We have a good look at the poseability and all the accessories includes with each figure. Optimus Prime comes with 2 swords, 2 guns, an extra head without the battle mask as seen in the show, a pair of extra hands and a Matrix Of Leadership which can be placed inside Optimus’ chest. Megatron comes with his fusion cannon, sword, a very big purple blast effect, a Dark Energon energy effect plus a pair of extra hands.
Both figures will be Walmart exclusives in the US. Click on the bar to see the new images attached to this news post and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
