Closure of AOE was expected since the game was originally conceived to be a part of the Transformers 4 Movie Tie-in Campaign. With future movies on the horizon, Transformers: Age Of Extinction Mobile Game has served its propose. The game ran for a year with several major updates bringing in characters from past movies as well.

Thanks to
snakas.blog95, it appears we have our very first look at another Transformers focused SDCC exclusive, this time being the 1985 cast of Transformers Kreons.
You may recall last year there was the
1984 cast exclusive set, so it only makes sense Hasbro would continue the exclusives with the 1985 cast of characters.
We've mirrored images of which characters are included, so make the jump to see what you're going to be in the hunt for!

Via E-Hobby, we have some clearer images of the unpainted, grey-and-white prototypes of the next three Transformers Legends releases,
Nightbird Shadow (an Arcee remold),
Slipstream (remolded from Windblade), and
Blackarachnia (a clever remold of Animated Blackarachnia). The new images give us a good look at what has been remolded on all three figures, and all three have substantially different looks than their originals.

Every Thursday we brought you the latest Transformers: Legends Mobile Game Event News from DeNA. Today we are announcing the closure of the game.
DeNA stated :
Hey TRANSFORMERS Legends fans,
It is with heavy hearts that we must announce some bad news today.
We will be retiring TRANSFORMERS: Legends on September 30th, 2015
We’ve worked very hard to keep TRANSFORMERS: Legends for our loyal playerbase for as long as we possibly could, but unfortunately there isn’t anything else we can do to keep things going. With that being said, we’ve decided to give our players the keys to the kingdom during the last few months of TRANSFORMERS: Legends lifespan.
Starting June 25th:
All MobaCoin/CyberCash purchase will be shut off (you will still be able to spend your remaining balance on resources packages and the Space Bridges)
A new additional Medal type, “Shanix”, will be added to the game, which will allow players to purchase premium SpaceBridges(Character/Weapon). Items will be bundled with Premium Space Bridges.
The complete Cyber-dex will be unlocked for all players to view all the cards in the game.
All player’s Characters and Weapon Base size will be increased
All Players will receive a free Devastator Combiner card
The payout of all rewards, including leaderboard rewards, event point rewards, will be increased
We know how hard it is to watch a game you love sunset, but if you’re looking for more TRANSFORMERS action, we hope you’ll download TRANSFORMERS BATTLETACTICS ,”where you can build a dream team of AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS, and go head-to-head against players from around the world in strategic PvP based combat”

Thanks to TFW2005 member
Nevermore for sharing with us the first full picture of Combiner Wars Optimus Maximus taken from Daim Choc's
Facebook page. Until now we had seen pictures that showed partial views of the Autobot gestalt, but we had never seen a full glimpse of Optimus Maximus.
Let us know what you think of his full appearance on the boards!

You'll probably be wondering why there is a business news doing on the front page of a site about toys. Well, that's because this news does indeed affect our hobby to a certain extent.
Hasbro has incorporated a new solution to streamline and centralize its product development which includes Transformers. Benefits include improved quality, reduced material costs and faster product launches.
"Our consumers are at the heart of everything that we do, and we’ve been successful in delivering compelling and engaging experiences by listening to our consumers,” said John Frascotti, President, Hasbro Brands. “In order to both minimize product’s time to market and increase our team’s productivity and focus on innovation, we needed an efficient way to manage the planning, design, and delivery of all of our consumer products. We found the ideal solution with PTC’s Windchill FlexPLM platform."Check out the full Press Release, after the jump.
