Latest News and Updates!

Good evening, Allsparkers! We're hoping you're having a fabulous fall so far. We would like to inform you that the Allspark is currently accepting applications for our writing team! We're looking for writers to talk about news, leaks, opinion pieces, reviews, contests, collaborations, rumors about who's going to get offed in the next Skybound is--- okay maybe not that one. We want bots who just love gabbing about everything Transformers. Requirements: Account with good standing in both the Allspark Forums and Discord. Articles will primarily be posted in English, however a translator wouldn't be a bad idea. News happens at any time, so if you're a night owl or an early bird, you need not fret if you get on during the late hours. Those interested should contact one of the @Council of Elders on our Discord via DM or message one of the staff here on site for a brief interview and a few questions.

Thanks to the events of Cybertron Con this past week, we've already seen and heard a lot about what to expect from the forthcoming Transformers: Age of the Primes line. Nevertheless, Mark from the Transformers team is here with Hasbro Pulse to make it official... er. Join him as he takes you on a tour of the 2025-2026 portion of the subline, and if nothing else, enjoy the turnarounds of the figures and their boxes. Now, all this isn't to say that there wasn't any new or interesting info to be had. Far from it! Here are my notes from the presentation, stuff I didn't know or catch or just wasn't sure if it had been made official before going in: Boxes show which Prime each of the non-13 Transformers descend from Fugitive Waspinator is a descendant of Micronus Prime, so apparently you don't have to be a Micromaster/Mini-Con or the like for that. Just small, I guess? Solus Prime's Forge has a grenade on the bottom Her toy combines the appearance she had in Machinima's series with other sources Slingshot descends from Alpha Trion, and they were going for cartoon accuracy Air Raid follows his cartoon appearance as well Says he turns into F16, but the comments section said F15 Slingshot and Air Raid each have Landing gear and two blasters Red Alert has storage for all weaponry Repeatedly refers to Prima Prime's Matrix as the "Creator" Matrix; not sure if that's a new term or just an error (probably the latter, but in this franchise, who knows? Things are always changing...) Prima Prime's paint apps on side/back fenders are incomplete on the sample here Confirms Wheelie's G2 color scheme as coming from "Wild Boy of Quintesson" Grimlock has G2 symbols on the backs of his legs Hopes to do all G2 Dinobots, but doesn't elaborate on whether that includes unreleased Sludge and Swoop from the original line Pantheon image on box top with entire pantheon of 13 Primes around the Well Refers to Star Optimus Prime as "The god Prime of the 13" Star Optimus comes with Zodiac orb, calls it the "miracle artifact that rebirthed Optimus to life in the Japanese continuity," but no mention of how/if there's any English lore for it here For the first time ever, he has a removable Energon bullet in his ion blaster Hot Rod's gun turret in the base mode does swivel Calls the base mode a "battle station for 13 Primes" Tread unit (aka Roller) is removable, snaps together, and rolls, but isn't motorized Comes with "a hilt of a Matrix that is basically extended to create a hilt for the blast effects here that are all on 5mm ports" and shows other blast effects attaching to make different swords "build an Energon saber for battle" Star Optimus Prime measures in at 15 inches tall From there, they move on to the Transformers x Sonic the Hedgehog Collaborative 2-pack: Wingtail and Blue Booster are both Autobots (I guess they could have wound up being Maximals) The icon in the Item Box for Sonic -- er, Blue Booster spins; invincibility is on one side, Autobot symbol on other Blue Booster was, of course, inspired by Speed Star from the various recent Sonic racing games, such as Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Ring is also an Energon shield The 2-pack is a Target exclusive, except for limited quantities at Hasbro Pulse on Transformer Tuesday... which was yesterday, and went up was shortly after this aired, which means screw you and screw me and probably screw Canada now. Contact your local scalper, I guess Age of Primes: 22 figures in 2025 alone All Aerialbots in one year Everything besides the Target-exclusive Sonic thing will be available everywhere toys are sold Yeah, I was feeling real good about this up until tha Sonic news hit. Oh well. Tell us what raised or dashed your hopes from this in the comments, or elsewhere. Sure, the Sonic news bites, but we won't. Join the Allspark today.

We've just had a wave of reveals and you know what that means. Mark Maher is already at it with another peek behind the curtain. First up is Age of the Primes Solus Prime. Source: Instagram Join the Allspark today.

More images have arrived from Cybertron Con 2024 in China giving us a better look at some of the upcoming Age of the Primes toys. First we start with one of the 13 Primes we caught a glimpse of yesterday in box art, none other than Solas Prime! A bot that we've been seeing prototype images of for several weeks, Prima! The other we've seen a lot of, but never this good... Armada Red Alert! Lastly, we have a couple different shots of Superion. More images to come as they become available. Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts on these upcoming releases right here or join in the ongoing Age of the Prime discussions here.

The Age of the Primes has begun! With Cybertron Con 2024 going on in China, we have our first look at the box art for the full first wave of the Age of the Primes toyline. Below are Prima, Wasp, Silverbolt, Air Raid, Slingshot, G2 Grimlock, Red Alert, Solus Prime (in both robot and vehicle modes), and Star Convoy! Discuss these new images in our ongoing Age of the Primes thread HERE on the forums! Join the Allspark today. Allspark Forums Discord Server X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

Straight from Cybertron Con 2024 in China, we have our first look at some of the upcoming Transformers: Age of the Prime toys that have been rumored for so long; Star Optimus (Star Convoy) Superion, and Armada Red Alert! Our best image is that of Star Optimus himself. Such great details in the head and chest. Notice the chevrons under the Autobot insignia! What a great detail. Unfortunately, the only images so far of the toys for Superion and Red Alert are fuzzy cellphone grabs. We hope to be updating with better images soon. Red Alert is looking like his old Armada self in this image. Most of us had already seen the leaked headless images, but at least now we can see his head in all its glory. Superion appears to use the same combiner tech as Legacy Menasor. Some fans will love that, others surely will not. What do you think? Feel free to reply with your thoughts, or join in the thread for ongoing Age of the Prime Discussion!

Break out the chili dogs! Below is our first look at the upcoming Sonic / Transformers crossover figures: Sonic transformers from race car to hedgehog in 27 steps, while Tails converts from biplane to fox in 32 steps. Come discuss these upcoming figures in our forums! Join the Allspark today. Allspark Forums Discord Server X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

Via The Mighty Mollusk, it appears that the box art for the HasLab Omega Prime set is upon us. Bask in its glory: For those unaware, the successfully crowdfunded set includes four Transformers figures: new molds of the Robots in Disguise 2001/Car Robots versions of Optimus Prime (nee Fire Convoy), Ultra Magnus (nee God Magnus), and Blue Bolts (nee Bluebolt, Magnus's gun that is now featured as a Weaponizer with a robot mode), and a repaint of Titans Return Emissary as Cerebros. This is all helpfully laid out for you on the back of the box: And for funsies, some stock photos of Alpha Trion's boys: Pics courtesy of Transformers Botposting on Facebook.

Eager to see more Transformers: Age of the Primes Prima? Well, don't lose your head, we've got you covered! Some new shots have emerged of The First Transformer, and they're of his alt-mode, at that, courtesy of PrimalxConvoy over in the Age of the Primes thread. That one might be a little mistransformed, though. Don't worry, we've got fresher ones. Ones with an untwistable energy processor! Now, that's not just Prime, that's Prima! Oh, and if you want a robot mode pic in these colors, but without a head and laying next to Earthrise Optimus Prime... well, that's oddly specific, but you're in luck! Now go on, you lot. Make all your "the first Headmaster as well as the first Transformer" jokes in the comments below. We know you want to. Join the Allspark today.

Hasbro is currently facing a class action lawsuit by the West Palm Beach Firefighters' Pension Fund, over allegations that the company has been misleading investors regarding the quality of its inventory. If any of that sounds confusing, I'll try to break down the alleged chain of events here. In the beginning, there was the 2020 Covid Pandemic. Like many businesses, Hasbro faced a serious disruption to its supply chain, which would make inventory more difficult to get, or at least less consistently able to get. At the same time, a more welcome result of the pandemic was a surge in demand for Hasbro's products, as families were stuck at home with nowhere to go. Less supply, more demand. Hasbro compensated by drastically increasing its inventory, so it would have enough products on hand to meet this demand. Essentially, Hasbro leaned from "just-in-time" more towards "just-in-case" inventory management. The idea was to have more inventory than needed today, just in case they couldn't get enough tomorrow. What Plaintiffs allege is that Hasbro ordered far too much, far more than would be needed as the pandemic wound down and demand wound down with it, but Hasbro continued to represent to investors that this excess inventory was high quality and they anticipated being able to sell it. Allegedly these optimistic projections were knowingly false and misled investors as to the company's actual condition. Among the allegedly knowingly false representations is the following: It is allegedly knowingly false that Hasbro anticipated bumps in demand from big entertainment releases (film and TV, essentially) in late 2022 and throughout 2023, and they must have known that they should not have built up extra inventory in advance of any such film and TV releases. You can read the unabridged complaint here. We thank LordGigaIce on the Allspark Forums for bringing this case to our attention. It will be very interesting to read Hasbro's response to these allegations. Watch this space. Join the Allspark today.
