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.

The year won't end without at least one more surprise, as Hasbro has just revealed via the official Transformers Instagram that 2025 will feature an "updated Age of the Primes G1 Trypticon", in the form of an animation-based redeco of the Titans Return Titan class Trypticon! Preorders open in early 2025, and Hasbro promises more updates soon! https://www.instagram.com/p/DEIV2D9J6zs/ Anyone out there looking to replace their Trypticon?

And who better to wish you a Happy Boxing Day than a guy who's basically 4/5 box, right? (5/5, if you want to include the cubical nature of his cab's shape.) Anyway, over on Takara Tomy's T-Spark YouTube channel, they've posted a new video featuring a step-by-step process of how to convert this Masterpiece Masterforce Autobot -- er, Cybertron leader from peculiar tractor trailer with arms into robot, super robot, and base modes! And some other neat little tricks you can do to further customize the end results, too! Check it out: Pretty nifty, huh? He even has an extra super robot head with red eyes, just like the American release as Powermaster Optimus Prime! Just a shame they didn't include any all-red hands to complete the look. Also might be worth noting that this is based on the Japanese Masterforce interpretation of the character, which was more faithful to their version of the toy, rather than the Nebulan-powered form he took in the Marvel Comics. So if you want something more faithful to how he looked in the stories of Bob Budiansky and Simon Furman, you'll have to keep looking, and maybe hope that Hasbro has something of their own in store for the future.

This year's holiday season is in full swing, and of course that means one more visit from the Gorilla of Christmas Past, Present, and Future (lie buried in the past) -- Garry Chalk! Garry's done these charming holiday parody songs for quite some time (this is the 8th in a row!) and it would be lovely to have him continue to be around as long as possible, giving it his all every year. Garry is battling stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma (more below), but even that couldn't stop the ol' boss-bot from recording this with Candice N. Santora. Please send Garry your best at: Instagram @ chalkgarry Cameo @ cameo.com/garrychalk Twitter @ garrychalktalk Instagram @ primal.parodies Instagram @ cannedice.santora Allspark Forums Discord Server X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

Fresh in-hand pics of the upcoming Transformers Collaborative "The Mandalorian" er, Mandalorian figure are available courtesy of Weibo user @NOTRAB. The brief gallery highlights the figure, along with its N-1 starfighter mode's clear stand (which ingeniously becomes a cape and shield in robot mode) and blast effects. Here's what they had to say on Weibo about this upcoming figure (translated): Anyone else hoping to get more "The Mandalorian" Collabs? Or something from another corner of the Star Wars universe?

The upcoming idle RPG Transformers: Eternal War is shaping up, and more designs for the game are being shared by developer Wanda Cinemas Games. They've previously shared designs for Optimus Prime and Megatron, and now everyone's favorite yellow scout is next! In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the devs noted that Bumblebee will not be the Movieverse/TF Prime beeps-and-boops sort, but the familiar "chatterbox" personality, with "much to say"! https://x.com/TFEternalWar/status/1867555069941444868 Who do you want to join "Transformers: Eternal War" next?

Two bits of news come in on the mysterious "Swapticon" gimmick subline first reported some time ago. First, Walmart.com now has listings up for the first wave of toys. No pictures or descriptions as of yet, but we can see that the price will be $7.97 for each two pack. The two packs consist of: Megatron and Shockwave Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus Bumblebee and Hot Rod Grimlock and Snarl Ravage and Shadow Panther In addition to those listes, TFW2005's well known leaker, JTPrime17 has provided the following description of the line: “They’re really tiny.Anyways basically they’re two packs. Each figure has individual bot modes and they combine into 1 alt mode. You can mix and match as you please”. Also from TFW2005, there is the full product description of the Ravage / Shadow Panther set: Transformers Toys Swapticons Ravage and Shadow Panther Action Figures, 5+ INTRODUCING SWAPTICONS: Transformers Swapticons toys are fidgety fun mini action figures that twist to combine together into unique alt modes! TWIST INTO BEAST MODE: Press the figures’ heads together and twist to combine them into panther beast mode! Untwist to separate them COMBINE WITH OTHER SWAPTICONS TOYS: The fidget toy fun doesn’t stop there! Ravage and Shadow Panther action figures can be combined with any Swapticons figure (sold separately, subject to availability) IMAGINATION POSSIBILITIES: With additional Swapticons sets, kids can combine 2 favorite bots and imagine a super-powered alt mode, or create wacky match-ups between Autobots and Decepticons GIFTS FOR KIDS 5 AND UP: Transformers toys like Swapticons figures make a great gift for boys and girls who love fidget toys, robot toys, and toy cars So a return of a gimmick not too dissimilar from the old Micromaster Combiners, but in more of a "fidget toy" form.

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.

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!

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.
