Latest News and Updates!

During today’s Hasbro Pulse Transformers Fanstream, Hasbro and Robosen Robotics pulled back the curtain on three years’ worth of rigorous research and development to reveal… Megatron, the world’s first auto-converting Decepticon! Flagship Megatron stands at 21 inches tall, making him a truly terrifying titan of a tyrant, and boasts 118 smart microchips that control 36 high-precision servo motors, allowing the Decepticon leader to perform fluid transformations and actions. As with others in the Robosen Transformersline, you can control his actions using a smart phone app or more than 50 voice commands. And of course, this Megatron talks back, using the voice of none other than the originator of the role, Frank Welker himself. Just for this project, Welker went into the recording booth and didn’t come out until he’d performed more than 270 unique lines and fan-favorite phrases, which “allow users to experience Megatron like never before, and in the most genuine way.” This version of the character seemingly takes a few cues from incarnations throughout the 2010s, including a stature and alt-mode reminiscent of Combiner Wars Megatron, while sporting highlights from 112(!) LEDs that feel like a callback to the War for Cybertron video games. And that fusion cannon isn’t just for show — he comes with four “tank shell” soft-tipped projectiles that actually fire (plus an Optimus Prime target to practice on). In robot mode, he can wield the included illuminating Energon Sword and Energon Mace, inspired by the weapons wielded by the original Japanese toy and Generation One cartoon, respectively. And he’ll really whip that mace around, too, thanks to a number of points of articulation in the chain, so watch out! Other accessories include an instruction manual, collectible coin, and charging cable and block. And for those who want to get a little more touchy-feely with their Emperors of Destruction, there are two touchsense zones. Give them a poke to see how the Voice of Doom reacts — if you dare! To bring peace to your toy shelf through tyranny will run you $899 USD for a 30-day window upon its pre-sale release, before the price transforms into an even more formidable $1,199. Pre-orders are available at Robosen’s website. And in so doing, you might be one of the random lucky 40 who receive a surprise autographed version of the figure, signed by none other than Frank Welker himself! Just keep in mind when your order arrives: No one summons Megatron. Does this reveal make you want to rise up? Will this Megatron be enough to force your Robosen Autobots to retreat?

With the future of the Power Rangers brand seemingly up in the air, some have speculated that under the umbrella of Hasbro, it is now effectively “dead.” But wait! We’ve received word today that the legacy of Power Rangers will live on! …at Playmates Toys. Here’s the press release from Hasbro: For those of you saying “I ain’t reading all that, I’m happy for you though, or sorry that happened,” the gist is that starting next year, Playmates is doing a kid-targeted line based on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (aka “their Generation One that no one can let go of”) all across the world, save for Asia. This includes “action figures, blasters, plush, role play, vehicles and accessories.” This doesn’t mean that The House the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Built owns the brand, though. Hasbro still has that plum sitting comfortably in their pocket, and will continue to reap the rewards of licensing things like “publishing, fashion and footwear, promotions and more.” It sounds like they still have plans to release stuff through Hasbro Pulse, too, and will feature it at big industry events like San Diego Comic Con. So yeah, “Large Toy Company Hires Smaller Toy Company to Make Their Toys for Them” pretty much seems to sum up the current direction of things. But then, Hasbro’s been subletting their brands out to companies like Super7 and McFarlane for years now, so in a sense, this isn’t anything new. A couple of other notes of no real consequence: Yes, I know that Playmates doesn’t own the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brand the way Hasbro now owns Power Rangers, but if you can think of a more synonymous brand to use for a header image, I’d like to hear it. Yes, I came really close to using the team-up image from the Power Rangers in Space episode “Shell Shocked,” but figured that after more than 25 years — and with Mighty Morphin being the particular call-out of the press release, the more contemporary team-up was the way to go. Sources: Hasbro, via TOYCOLLECTR and Pixel Dan. Think this news is morphenomenal? Or just further evidence to the running notion that the Power Rangers brand is “dead”?

It was a sad day when Transformers: Rescue Bots, the longest-running Transformers cartoon to date (and that’s before even taking sequel series Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy into consideration), came to an end. Over its four seasons and 104 episodes, which ran from 2011 to 2016, these four bots who were in stasis and the family of heroes who would be their allies would build up a solid and dedicated base of fans. Now, four years after Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy brought the experiment that was the Aligned continuity to a close, a new group of heroes are stepping up to continue the legacy of Rescue Force Sigma-17. No, not the Academy recruits, but rather, the fans who have collaborated under the banner of TurboFox Zines to release the first-ever Rescue Bots Zine! This free-to-download digital fanzine is chock-full of art from 26 fan artists, a board game, and a pair of stories, all designed to give you the inside scoop on Griffin Rock’s resident robots in disguise — straight from the desk of Griffin Rock News’ own Huxley Prescott! In addition to the foreword, one of those pieces of fiction is a short story penned by none other than original Transformers: Rescue Bots co-developer/story editor/writer (as well as writer for Transformers: Prime and Transformers: Robots in Disguise, not to mention executive producer for Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy and Transformers: Earthspark), Nicole Dubuc, which provides a possible answer to a longstanding question among the fans. And if you count yourself among those fans, then you won't want to miss it! If that doesn’t sound like an authentic stamp of approval, then I don’t know what does! You can find links to download not only the Rescue Bots Zine .pdf, but also a .zip file containing a number of .png emojis and stickers for your to peruse through this link! Jazz up that Rescue Bots Discord server you’ve been planning! If you’re disappointed that you didn’t get to contribute, then worry not! They’re hoping to produce a second edition sometime in the future, so you’ll want to keep an eye on the TurboFox Zines Tumblr, Instagram, Bluesky, and SMOKAT accounts to learn when they’re opening up for contributions again. If you’d like to talk about this fanzine, or just Rescue Bots in general, then head over to the ever-changing, ever-flexible “Rescue Bots/Rescue Bots Academy/Dinobot Adventures/Classic Heroes Team thread” in our forums.

It’s Thursday, which means that Hasbro has brought to us another Fanstream celebration of the 40th anniversary of Transformers. And while some of today’s reveals got leaked a little early, at least now we can provide you with a clearer look and more details, plus a thing or two that we haven’t already seen here yet. If you haven’t caught it yet, here’s the video: But if you prefer something a little more static, then it should come as no shock that yes, we’ve got you covered. First up, they revealed the best way to celebrate anything: With currency! Well, maybe not legal tender, strictly speaking, but a coin nonetheless: These went on sale on the Hasbro Pulse website for $14.99 USD each with a limit of three per customer, which we’re sure absolutely stopped speculators and scalpers from buying up massive quantities, and that their entire now sold-out stock has gone to legitimate fans. What’s the difference between a coin and a medallion? We don’t know, but if faction insignias are more your bag, then this set brings you two of them! This even more limited run is even more expensive, running you $39.99 USD for the pair on Hasbro Pulse. Or at least it would, if their allotment of the 5,000 worldwide wasn’t sold out faster than you can flip a coin/medallion. Don’t worry, we’re sure to have something here that hasn’t sold out yet… ah! Perfect! I don’t think this is even available to order yet: Originally released only on vinyl in 2018, they are re-releasing this album containing music from the original Generation One version of the Transformers cartoon. They say it has music from seasons 1 through 3, but considering season 4 was only three episodes long and reused music from the previous seasons, I think we’re allowed to count it. Heck, we might even be able to count season 5 (minus the movie), too! This album touts the original theme song (always preferred the season 3 version, personally, not counting Lion’s rendition) and 45 minutes’ worth of music from the original composers. What’s more, they were remastered here by one of the original composers, the late, great Rob Walsh and Sony Music. The two-disc album also contains two bonus tracks — an unreleased track and a remix of the theme — totalling 42 overall. The album will be available in July, with copies available at San Diego Comic-Con. You can check out a preview of the remixed theme and see artist Matt Ferguson create art for the covers and inserts, starting at 22:10 in the video above, and said remix is available today across Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. They say that this is the first time they’ve made official Transformers music available digitally, though it’s a little unclear whether they mean just this one remix, or the whole album. (Hopefully the whole album, because not all of us are equipped to play vinyl.) Moving right along, it’s Transformers Collaborative‘s latest worst kept secret, Party Wallop, who transforms into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ ’80s version of the Turtle Van (or “Party Wagon,” if you must, even though it was never called that in the show). That’s right — with this one figure, you can make up to five separate characters! And at $49.99 USD over on Hasbro Pulse (where — surprise — they aren’t sold out), this is where we watch our wallets and bank accounts die, Raphael. Cowabummer! Incidentally, I think the video has some stills that weren’t featured on Hasbro Pulse, so check it out to see even more of what it’s capable of. That’s not all from the Collaborative line, though! With Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire heating up theaters, they’re reissuing their first collaboration, Ectotron! On Hasbro Pulse, the price is $49.99, but it turns out they’re sold out, anyway. It ships around September 1st, anyway, so who knows? You might not even care by then. Or maybe it’s perfectly timed for the Blu-ray release of Frozen Empire, we don’t know. But if you nab one at retail, you can pair it up with Party Wallop so the two teams can meet up for a third time! (Yes, it’s already happened twice.)

Got an itch for a certain type of converting robotic action figure that certain Fortune 500 companies (who will remain nameless) are failing to scratch? Well, that’s where the wide world of third-party figures comes in, and The Chosen Prime’s sponsored panel at the recent TFcon LA 2024 was chock-full of them! You can check out the full half-hour-and-change presentation here, from the official TFcon YouTube channel: We can’t run down everything from everyone here (unless you don’t mind us getting back to this post until a few weeks from now), but here are a few highlights taken from the above video to help whet your appetite for more: We’ve got all sorts of stuff to look forward to, including the not-Transformers: The Ultimate Guide version of not-Primus, not-Beast Wars Megatron, toon-shaded not-Grimlock, not-Fallen, not-Leozack and not-Liokaiser, not-Superion, not-Hot Spot, not-Ironhide sporting an optional all-red head (just like he didn’t do in the not-comic books from not-Marvel), not-Nemesis Prime (complete with the trailer that the original [actually] lacked), and a peek at a large group of ships that we’re fairly certain is not Tidal Wave. Oh, and two guys who pretty much are the two guys from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, because we all know certain people in certain places are probably never touching those two again. Remember, this is just some of what they showed off there. Check out the full video above for even more of your favorites from the world of third-party plastic playthings that change from one form to another, but most assuredly do not “transform” or anything like it.
