“One shall stand, one shall convert.” We were never quite sure what Optimus Prime meant when he uttered those fateful words all those years ago during the Battle of Autobot City, but now we finally know. Okay, so he didn’t say that, exactly, but it more or less applies to this Hasbro Pulse video from the 2024 San Diego Comic Con, as Hasbro Product Designer Evan talked with Takara Tomy Transformers designer Tomo Tatsumi as the latter demonstrated how to transform the figure he helped create. Check it out: And in case you missed it, we’ve already had a good look at several product shots and a little behind-the-scenes action. So, are those 40 steps you’re willing to take when you get your hands on this prime Prime? Or will Earthrise continue to reign supreme on your toy shelf?

Transformers? In a battle royale game? I never sausage a thing! Well, okay, there was the one other time, but that was a fortnight ago. Anyway. If you scoped out the Overwatch 2 x Transformers collaboration, but came away feeling like you wanted something a little meatier, then have we got the mash-up for you! Say what you will, but you’ve got to give them props for using some of that wonderful Generation Onecartoon soundtrack. Despite that, though, it looks like the characters are using the evergreen versions of the designs — or, at least they are before they get, uh, sausage-fied? At which point, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Elita-1, Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream, and Shockwave (huh, little heavier on the baddies there…) take on a more “chibi” appearance, with larger heads atop smaller bodies. Looks like some of the native humanoid characters can get some Cybertronian-styled gear as well. And they’re fighting over the Allspark, because of course they are. Here’s the description: The game is from Singapore, by the way, in case you were wondering. And if you’re interested, it looks like these worlds collide on July 19th. Presumably of 2024. Like Overwatch 2, we don’t really have an active thread going for this, but you’re certainly free to make one in Fun & Games! Or Transformers Discussion. Whichever suits your fancy, we’re not Prowl. It’s not like Reactivated is likely to be distracting from it any time soon, at any rate. Not a member? Register now!

It’s Amazon Prime Day, and you know what that means! …wait, what? We’re not supposed to get Optimus Prime news drops from Amazon on this day? Then what did he even die for?! Okay, fine. Well, regardless of intent (or the fact that these technically got out yesterday — spirit of the season, and all that), it would seem that some of the overseas branches of Amazon (including Germany) have gotten on the ball with their possibly-unplanned reveal of the hotly-anticipated “Studio Series ’86” version of Optimus Prime, based on how he appeared in the smash hit* 1986 feature film. See how much “Touch” this big bot has for yourself in the pics right here: While the page itself doesn’t really tell us much more about the toy than its measurements (“33 x 10.2 x 27.9 cm; 299.82 g”, for those curious), we can still glean a few details from the pictures themselves. For starters, he comes with a familiar-looking trailer, his trusty ion blaster, handy Energon axe, and a couple of blast effects, too. Roller and the mechanical tower-drone from the Combat Deck are there, too, and what’s more, they can combine! And use effects parts! Prime himself has articulation in his index finger (the better for pointing in which direction to “roll out!”), as well as his… antenna? Horns? The things on his helmet. They seem capable of folding back. He also has two more effects parts, specifically so you can recreate that time he took part in the Oregon State Chili Cookoff the way he blasts off from a rolling start in truck mode to transform and start sniping Decepticons in midair. If that’s how you want to display him, then you’ve got options. Oh, and he also hides the stripe from his original toy that remains on his torso, yet disappears in his truck mode. What’s that all about? Well, there are theories, but suffice to say, it is toon-accurate — and more specifically, movie-accurate. Notice anything else? Does this make you want to toss your Earthrise Optimus in the bin? Or are you going to wait and see which of the inevitable repaints better suits your fancy? (I’m pulling for G2, myself.) Or does it all hinge on how they handled the conveniently-obscured backpack? Tell us all about it in the “Studio Series discussion” thread in our forums! Not a member? Register now!

“Would you like Titan-size fries with that?” On April 23rd, 2023, the world’s first Transformers-themed restaurant was opened to the citizens of Hong Kong. But if you’re like me, for as big a Transformers fan as you may be, you might not get out that way very often. But fear not! Local fan and YouTuber Hightail Creations has taken us inside the establishment known as “The Ark” to give us the inside look at what we’re missing, and whether or not we’re missing out. Sadly, it sounds like for as good as the experience is, it may not be quite good enough to keep the doors open past their lease’s expiration in 2025. So if you reallywant to experience an Autobranded burger aboard the beloved space-fairing cruiser and makeshift Autobot HQ, then you’re going to want to find a way to transform your itinerary and roll out for Hong Kong before we find out whether this restaurant will continue to stand, or fall like so many others. So, what sounds good to you? Any number of options on the “Prime Burgers” list sound good to me, but it’s hard to deny the testimonial for Bumblebee’s fried chicken (though I am a little disappointed it’s not honey-fried). The Parma-Ham Allspark Pizza sounds kinda nice, too. But enough about me, share what you’d like to fuel your spark with in the “Talking About Hong Kong’s Transformers-themed Restaurant, The Ark!” thread in our forums! Not a member? Register now!

Hey, who wants to see just a little more Transformers One before the movie drops in September? If so, then you’re in luck, because that’s precisely what was delivered at the 2024 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards on Saturday night, July 13th, 2024. It’s not a huge reveal or anything, though. Just a bit more of the scene we saw in the first trailer where Op– er, Orion Pax, D-16, B-127, and Elita first try to use their newly-acquired transformation cogs. So, did that whet your appetite for the upcoming release any more? If so, don’t lose your head; feel free to discuss what you might have noticed from this new extended snippet over in the “Transformers: One – New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 – New Toy Official Images!” thread in our forums!

Well, that didn’t take long. At at the same time, long enough. Okay, before we go any further: Read our previous story to get yourself caught up, because I don’t feel like repeating myself in the second consecutive front-page story because they couldn’t have just done this earlier. Got the gist? Good. Today, Activision Blizzard decided to roll out a second trailer, featuring actual gameplay of their characters cosplaying as Cybertronians in action. Have a gander: There you go. That’s pretty much it. You can go now. If you’d like to discuss this with other fans on our forums… well, as I said before (verbatim), we don’t really have an Overwatch thread, sequelized or otherwise. We do have this Activision Blizzard thread in our “Fun & Games” section, though. It hasn’t really been touched since the company laid off nearly 2,000 employees at the start of the year, so this might be a way to liven it up, yeah? No? Well, you can start a separate thread, if that’s your whim. In the Transformers Discussion section, perhaps? The trailer is kinda anime-ish, so PrimalxConvoy shared it in the “Japanese Transformers News” thread, even though that’s about as far as the relevance goes. Not a member? Register now!

The world of the Transformers is no stranger to collaborations, crossovers, and tie-ins. Nor, as it happens, is Overwatch 2, the first-person hero-based shooter from Blizzard Entertainment, a part of Activision Blizzard, the one-time publisher of Transformers titles such as Devastation and War for Cybertron. Does that mean anything? Maybe. Maybe not. Probably not. But keep it in your back pocket, I guess. Anyway, those folks rolled out a trailer for a new collaboration that begins today, and features some of our favorite robots in disguise as skins (for the gamer illiterate, that’s basically like “costumes”) for a quartet of pre-existing characters from the game. Check ’em out: Now, as I don’t really know a whole lot about Overwatch 2, I’m deferring to Polygonto inform you that the roles seem to be distributed as follows: Bastion (who the site describes as a “Triple Changer”) is Bumblebee, Illari is Arcee, Reinhardt is Optimus Prime, and Ramattra gets to be the sole Decepticon, Megatron. For what it’s worth, Overwatch 2 principle artist Mike Hardison explained on SMOKAT that these are the Overwatch 2 characters cosplaying as the characters, rather than the actual characters themselves. That said, there is a little more meat to this crossover than just everyone playing dress-up, as they also released a free digital comic online called “Transmission” that shows Megatron establishing a trade with Ramattra: He gets Cybertronian tech in exchange for Megatron using him as an avatar in this world. Naturally, the Autobots can’t have that, and so the race is on to find new heroes to which they can lend their aid. So… maybe these costumes are actually — say it with me — more than meets the eye? Right. So, anyway. If you play the game (it’s free on Nintendo Switch, Steam for PC, Xbox One/Series X|S, and PlayStations 4 & 5), for those interested by this), the costumes will be available starting today, July 9th, 2024. And if past crossovers, specifically the recent Cowboy Bebop, are anything to go by, they aren’t cheap. Those went for 2,500 Overwatch coins, or roughly $25/£21. Oh, and that’s each, by the way. So kiss your favorite picture of Ben Franklin (or whatever the equivalent would be in other countries) good-bye if you decide to go all the way in on this. If you’d like to discuss this with other fans on our forums… well, we don’t really have an Overwatch thread, sequelized or otherwise. We do have this Activision Blizzard thread in our “Fun & Games” section, though. It hasn’t really been touched since the company laid off nearly 2,000 employees at the start of the year, so this might be a way to liven it up, yeah? No?

There’s a new Transformers game on the horizon, and it’s definitely putting an emphasis on both the transforming and the rolling out. While the fate of Transformers: Reactivated remains unknown, and the state of Hasbro’s initiative to get the now Microsoft-owned Activision Blizzard back catalog of Transformers titles re-released is anyone’s guess, Outright Games announced today a new entrant in the digital arena of battles between Autobots and Decepticons. Developed by 3DClouds, Transformers: Galactic Trials is not about the Cybertronian race being represented in a galactic court to stand trial for all the devastation their war has brought to countless planets (but if someone wants to create an Ace Attorneyspoof fan game that does that, there’s your prompt), but rather, it’s a game that mixes racing and “rogue-lite” combat. As the story goes, the evil Nemesis Prime has stolen the Prime Relics, leading to both Autobot and Decepticon alike to set out on an adventure to recover the artifacts and take control of the “incredible powers” they can grant. Among those vying for the prize are, of course, mainstays such as Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Soundwave. Backing them up — or perhaps in it for their own reasons — are Autobots Arcee, Wheeljack, Elita-1, and Decepticons Flamewar, Shockwave, and Nightbird. And it looks like they’re all sporting their “Evergreen” designs. They will race across “battle-race circuits” to collect the relics and beat their opponents as they race arcade-style in vehicle form and engage in combat in robot mode, all in an effort to defeat their enemies and make it to the finish line. Hmm, think Velocitron will play a part in this? Because this sounds like exactly the kind of game that planet was made for. As players progress and collect relics, they’ll be able to level up their skills and unlock new “iconic” playable characters and skins. Hopefully that means there are more characters than we’ve seen already, and not just that half the ones named above are locked away. After all, who wouldn’t want Hot Rod and Blurr to join Bumblebee on the track? There are two game modes: Galactic Trials and Arcade. The former is the single-player mode where you’re out to collect relics, while the latter is where you can race locally with a friend in 2-player mode, create your own custom race tracks, characters, and weapons, or enter “location-based specialized tournaments.” Not quite sure what that means; is it based around a specific in-game location? Or do I have to hope they come to Toronto in order to participate? Outright Games has formed a track record of publishing Transformers games, which includes Transformers: Battlegrounds and Transformers: Earthspark – Expedition, among other licensed titles. The developer, 3DClouds, doesn’t have quite the same track record with the license, but we’ll see how they do when the Matrix of Gamership is passed to them when they release Transformers: Galactic Trials on October 11th, 2024, on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Steam for PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
