It seems that the Ghostbusters crossover figure might get a Japanese release.

And renamed "Electron 1" for some reason

Takara-Tomy is releasing a "Transformers Multi-Shock" videogame. More info is here.

It looks like a twin-stick mobile shooter to me, where TC characters take on waves of Quintessons perhaps?

No release dates or platforms have been given yet.

Apparently, there's a new Transformers toy line called "Wild King" coming out.

Official announcement and preorders may drop next week.

All items are April releases, expect for WKB-05 and 06, which are releasing in May.

They’re called Energy Masters and Energy Beasts.

Optimus and Megatron MSRP is ¥4,950, Slightly more expensive than Deluxe class.

The beasts are ¥2,750.

There will be an accompanying anime on YouTube, premiering in March, with a monthly new episode.

The lineup is:

Wildoking sets – ¥7,700 (a clever 3-way portmanteau of ‘wild’, ‘docking’, and ‘king’)

-WKS-01 Optimus Prime & Rightoll

-WKS-02 Megatron & Captain Vulca

Energy Masters – ¥4,750

-WKM-01 Energy Master Optimus Prime

-WKM-02 Energy Master Megatron

Energy Beasts – ¥2,750

-WKB-01 Energy Beast Rightol (Giraffe)

-WKB-02 Energy Beast Hydrophant (Elephant)

-WKB-03 Energy Beast Captain Vulca (T-Rex)

-WKB-04 Energy Beast Reefback (Triceratops)

-WKB-05 Energy Beast Ignite Bite (Wolf or Lion?)

-WKB-06 Energy Beast Sbilichuan(?) (Spinosaurus)

The Spinosaurus appears to be a remold of the T-Rex.

They remind me of slightly better versions of those beast armour things that were sold for ROTB.

Although I won't be getting either of these, even individually (They're still too expensive IMO), Godzilla could make for an interesting Megastorm/Gigastorm stand-in (if we slap a Predacon symbol on his chest instead).

 

[Sabrblade]

SG Grimlock would be even closer since he's, y'know, actually colored like Trypticon, whose colors Gigastorm's are based on.
