Thanks to
Amazon India, we have our first detailed description of Transformers: Energon Igniters; a toyline associated with the upcoming Transformers: Bumblebee movie. The listing is for Transformers Bumblebee Energon Igniters Power Series – Megatron. The gimmick of the toy reads quite similar to Transformers: The Last Knight Allspark Tech figures. Even the size of the figure is roughly the same. Product Description: “The lifeblood of Transformers robots, Energon fuels the epic action on Cybertron and beyond. Now, imagine harnessing the Transformers energy source with Energon Igniters figures. Convert this Energon Igniters Power Series Megatron figure between robot and tank modes

United Kingdom toy dealers have dedicated this month for Remote Controlled Vehicles and with it, the staff members of TFW2005 received plethora of information from various toy manufacturers. Among them is one of our favorites, catering to the Transformers Franchise. Simba Dickie will be celebrating the launch of Bumblebee, the first stand-alone movie from the Transformers Live Action Movie Series with a range of die-cast and remote controlled vehicles. Although, we did not receive any images this time (for obvious reasons), the toy descriptions give away some potential minor spoilers. The company will mainly focus on a range of 1:24 scale

Rubie’s Masquerade, one of the world’s leading costume manufacturers has acquired license to manufacture costumes based on Bumblebee: The Movie. The company tells us that their latest Transformers costumes will feature a new “transforming” gimmick titled ‘Flip and Reveal‘. “To celebrate the Transformers 6 movie appearing in cinemas in December, Rubie’s is introducing two new costumes including an innovative new style – Flip and Reveal. These costumes enable the wearer to choose whether to be either a vehicle or a robot.” Rubie’s Masquerade is one of Hasbro’s long term license holders. The last time we saw their products,

Sega has announced a sequel to Transformers: Human Alliance arcade game during Amusement Expo 2018. Titled as Transformers: Shadows Rising, the cabinet is modeled after Optimus Prime as opposed to Bumblebee for the original game. Arcade Heroes has the scoop: “With the sequel, Sega has opted to focus on Optimus Prime. Several signs were posted on the machine saying that the software was 75% complete but the cabinet likewise seems to be lacking some production level finesse. The Optimus head looks spot on and has LED eyes; it also has decorated mufflers on each side. But different from the Deluxe version

We’re kicking off our coverage of the Power of the Primes line with the Prime Masters – the successors to the Titan Masters. First up –
Micronus, who comes with the Cloudburst decoy suit. The whole idea of the Prime Masters is a nice evolution of the idea behind the Titan Masters – and using them as a vehicle to homage some of the Pretenders is inspired. The good is that the decoy suits – that’s the updated Pretender shells – very successfully evoke the look of the Generation 1 originals, and even incorporate the original gimmick. Turning into a weapon as

We’ve got a first sighting for you now – the Transformers Movie Studio Series has made its first debut in retail stores outside of Asia. Studio Series Deluxe Wave 1 has hit UK retail, the first brick-and-mortar sighting of the assortment we’re aware of. The series, which consists of Bumblebee (1967), Ratchet, Crowbar, and Stinger, was sighted in a Toy Planet store in Burton in the UK. A big thanks to my good friend and all-round cool guy Shockscream for the heads up!

@Alfes2010 and
@pcwr_Etchy we have some great in-hand images of the newest Masterpiece release: MP 711 Masterpiece Convoy 7-11 Version. This is a special redeco of popular MP-10 Convoy/Optimus Prime mold, available exclusively from Japanese 7-11 stores. MP-711 shows white, green and blue colors (characteristic of the store) and 7-Eleven logos. Even all the extra accessories, trailer, Roller and Spike come with the 7-11 colors and logo, too. Spike’s deco is similar to the 7-11’s uniforms. This is one of those special Japanese editions that

We had
previously reported that Takara Tomy was going to reissue their Lost Age LA-01 Optimus Prime Battle Command. Originally released in 2014, this 4-step figure features a trailer that can convert into a jetpack attachment while in robot mode, as well as a battle station of sorts for other 1-step figures. Finally, via
Amazon Japan, the Battle Command Optimus Prime toy is now re-released as part of Takara Tomy’s Turbo Change series (1-step figures). The shield is an all new mold, and the sword is mostly reused from the Armor Knight Optimus Prime toy, and some extra new additional

Via
Notrab on Weibo, we are able to share with you a selection of in-hand images of the upcoming Studio Series Leader class Grimlock figure. Unlike Blackout, his fellow Studio Series release, Grimlock has had a Leader class release previously back in 2014 as a part of the Age of Extinction line, but the general feeling is that this new release is streets ahead of that earlier figure. This time out based on the ILM design files, Studio Series Grimlock looks as though he stomped right out of his scenes in Age of Extinction with an incredibly detailed design

You can see the different head and a more stylized body of the Titan Master and the vehicle included. You can now click on the bar to check out the image after the break.
