An interesting note on the alt mode discrepancy…
Retail listing leaks from next year indicate a TF One Starscream as a deluxe figure, while Sentinel Prime is listed as a VOYAGER. Both figures are sharing a LOT of design elements, so it might be a situation where Sentinel was caught up in revisions. Or maybe the 2025 figure will be a “plus‘d up Deluxe” as Hasbro has been willing to do with other size classes, either as a more complex figure or extra accessories?

Well, I take it back. The altmode doesn't look much like the box art at all.

I was thinking the same thing. Thought I'd be needing to start a whole new seeker line, but I'm not feeling the Sentinel design as of now. I might change my mind after seeing it in person, but as of now I think I can pass.

Keep in mind that this is the mainline toy and the Studio Series one may look more different.

Like how different ROTB Airazor's mainline and Studio Series Deluxes looked from each other.

First 'Transformers One' Reactions Spark Standing Ovation, Multiple Applause Breaks

Transformers One, the first animated Transformers movie since 1986, premiered at Annecy to an uproarious response
www.thewrap.com www.thewrap.com
A work-in-progress premiere of the first fully animated “Transformers” movie since 1986 torn the house down.

On the second night of this year’s Annecy International Animation Film Festival, after an opening night that showcased the beautiful and brutal “The Most Precious of Cargoes,” the festival gave over to fun. In the same slot they previously premiered a work-in-progress print of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” Paramount debuted “Transformers One,” the first fully animated “Transformers” feature since 1986’s “Transformers: The Movie.” It played like gangbusters.

Josh Cooley, the former Pixar artist and director of the Oscar-winning “Toy Story 4,” introduced the movie after some preliminary words from Ramsey Naito, president of Paramount Animation. Cooley described the feeling of anticipation that goes along with giving someone a really cool present. He said he couldn’t wait for the Annecy audience to open that present, a love letter to “Transformers” of old and to animation in general. He thanked the amazing artists who worked on the film and the team at Industrial Light & Magic, who were responsible for the movie’s animation (ILM also provided the feature animation for “Ultraman: Rising,” which has its world premiere at the festival later this week).

“You are audience one,” Cooley said. Then the movie rolled.

It is exactly what it has been described as — an origin story for how two young robots (voiced by Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry) went from being besties to mortal enemies, ultimately known as Optimus Prime and Megatron. The animation style previewed in the early trailer; a kind of painterly, 1980s lunchbox aesthetic, is very much present in the final film — all vibrant colors and shiny surfaces. That’s pretty much all we can say without giving anything away. But that’s all you should know going into the movie, debuting theatrically in September. Whereas the original “Transformers: The Movie,” while enjoyable, was pretty much used to hard reset the lucrative toy line, which was cobbled together from existing Japanese toy lines and given a fresh coat of paint. The toys had been flagging, the movie was a way to rejuvenate the line (it didn’t work). The cynicism of the earlier animated feature has been replaced with something joyful, beautifully alive.

And that joy was very much felt in the biggest auditorium at Annecy. There were applause breaks several times throughout the movie, getting bigger and rowdier as the movie went on. It was punctuated at the end by a standing ovation for Cooley and his collaborators. What seemed at first like a polite response to the movie also swelled, going on for several minutes while Cooley bashfully took the praise (down the row from him was Jeff Rowe, director of “TMNT: Mutant Mayhem,” who received a similar response last year).

This was a project that had been in the works for at least a decade. Finally, in a sleepy town in France, it transformed into something real.

“Transformers One” hits theaters Sept. 20.

Transformers One had its first screening in France at the Annecy Festival. While it did receive a standing ovation, that is a common occurrence in premier screenings in France, but fans there are giving us some tidbits that they can share. We will share those below but before we also have the runtime confirmed to be 94 minutes. Also, we learned that there are no pop songs in the film, it's all score.

Here are some points shared on Reddit.

- film is not shallow, it is instead best film of the franchise so far
- pacing is very quick
- no pop songs in the film
- a lot of cameos
- no time skips or flashbacks, easy film to follow
- Transformers we see the most are Orion Pax, D-16, B-127, Elita-1, Sentinel Prime (leader of Cybertron) and Airachnid
- film is unbelievable fun, amazing action packed and side-splittingly hilarious
- Rise of Orion to Optimus and fall of Megatron is handled as best as it could have been
- film is gorgeous
- voice acting is really good
- kinda between Lego movie and first Avengers movie, innocent on the surface but dar underneath
- a lot of G1 references

I'm wanting to get a Sentinel to use as Nominus Prime. I believe the leaks have revealed an upcoming Voyager version of him, right?

July 14 was the official “launch day” for Hasbro’s Transformers One line. Online retailers are now selling Transformers One products, Entertainment Earth has preorders, but many items are in stock at Amazon.

Rollout is haphazard, as is usual. Amazon has oddities like having Prime Changer Sentinel Prime in stock, but Prime Changer Optimus is $44.99 (!). Also, no listing for Prime Changer Bumblebee.
Wave 2 Cog Changers and single Robot Battlers are slated for release late September/Early October. There is also a high probability that more items will roll out for preorder as we get to and through SDCC.

Of course the only one I want for sure is Prime Changer Bumblebee and he's not up on Amazon. So will we see these in stores soon too? I've heard Meijer has them out but none around me do.

The 1 STep Cog Changers, Prime Changers, Mega Changers (Titan Changers), Robot Battlers and Powerflip Prime are mass retail items. Basically, stuff is shipping out to retailers, but most retailers haven’t made their “fall resets” yet. Typically, throughout August, retailers will change over their offerings from the spring/summer to the fall/holiday offerings.
Since mass market retailers give increasingly fewer flips about “shelf dates”, it isn’t uncommon for a store to put stuff out as they get it, instead of holding it in the back for the new modular/planogram when new toys will be added to shelf inventory and old stuff cycled out. That’s how we get these “early releases” in some places and not others. Somebody isn’t tracking what is or isn’t supposed to be out.

The last few weeks, it seems stores are trying to wring what they can from older inventory before doing their new sets, which, again, are typically mid-late August depending on the store and even your region.
