Earlier, we we had
our first look at the Clash Of The Transformers Optimus Prime and Megatronus from the Transformers: Robots In Disguise Animated Series. But this isn't the first time both of them were seen. On the
recent App Update for the Transformers: Robots In Disguise Mobile Game, we had our first look at the Clash Of The Transformers subline which is
rumored to arrive soon.
The line consists of repaints and/or remolds of the current toys including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Sideswipe.
So, we've decided to unlock the toys from the upcoming subline to get an idea of what we'll be getting. Check them out, after the jump.

Thanks to Autobas Aichi via
Facebook, we have new images of Optimus Prime and Megatronus's appearance in the ongoing series Robot in Disguise. These images provides us with a first look at Megatronus' on screen appearance in the show, as well as Optimus Prime donning his Clash of Transfomers Armor.
As we said before, this is the first appearance of Megatronus after
his debut in the Transformers: Robots In Disguise Mobile Game. Also, Megatronus seems to be carrying a weapon with a striking resemblance to the weapon The Fallen had on the Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. That particular weapon was known as the Command Staff in the said continuity. This begs the question, "Is this Megatronus... The Fallen?".
Another very important fact is that Optimus Prime now sports his Clash Of Transformers toy look (as
revealed on the Transformers: Robots In Disguise App Update Version 1.2). This further clarifies the upcoming subline which is
currently in the rumor status until officially revealed (or leaked).
It is unclear which episode these frames will appear in, but be sure to check back for more update. Before that happens though, check out that images and share your thoughts after the break.

AND BOOM! Do you hear that? Because that sounds like someone breaking the sound barrier... Or, perhaps an explosion, followed by someone breaking the sound barrier. In this case it appears to be Runman, Unique Toys take on what might be their Masterpiece version of Blurr whom was spotted by the eagle eyed TFW2005 user,
Cheem The Rup on the Weibo of
The Unique Toys Club. Which also provided us with out first looks of their versions of Cutthroat and Abominus. This figure is apart of their "Y" Series, which seems like it might indeed be where their masterpiece styled figures shall be placed in. Also of note is the fact that their version of Blurr will also be coming with his Targetmaster, Haywire. Unfortunately, as of this writing we are unsure of the name analog they will be using for Haywire, but we'll keep you updated. Now, go check out the pictures of the speedster, and see if you can outmatch his pace in words per minute in the discussion!

Our next new Transformers toy gallery is giving some love to the Combiner Wars Voyager class wave 3, and the Protectobot Hot Spot! A new mold, Voyager class entry into the Combiner Wars line, Hot Spot is the leader of the Protectobots and forms the torso of the giant, Defensor!
Hot Spot's fire engine mode is pretty cool. It's a more modern take of the original with its curved front end and updated ladder design. One flaw is that the robot mode hips are expose in this mode - but given the transformations, there is not a lot that can be done to hide them, really. The robot mode is nice and solid - while it lacks a waist joint, there are lots of cool poses you can get out of Hot Spot, and his robot mode design nicely recalls the original toy, while bringing some new stuff to the table. The twin rifles can be combined into a single larger gun, although there's no real way to escape the fact that, yes, he's basically just got two guns plugged into the end of each other in this configuration.
Overall, Hot Spot is a solid figure to round out a fun classics-style Combiner group. He makes for potentially the best torso in the line yet, but we'll go into more detail on that side of things soon. For now, enjoy the gallery of this hot new Voyager class offering:

The Titan series of Transformers releases continues to grow and diversify, with the latest series being "Titan Changers". The Titan Changers, which were first announced back in March at the Australian Toy Fair, are Titans that transform - they are the Action Master Elites to the regular Titan figures' Action Masters. Via the Mexican Hasbro Transformers site, we have official images of both the
Optimus Prime and the
Bumblebee who are presently the only two known releases in this series.
They feature very simplified transformations along with limited articulation, however they are big and are good entry-level transforming toys for younger fans. They are already out in Hong Kong, so a US release is unlikely to be far off.
