NFL x Transformers Collaboration First Look! Official Stock Images
Thanks to the detective work of our very own 2005 Boards member nune we have our first stock images of the new NFL x Transformers Collaboration toys! We have the following NFL-inspired robots which transform into helmets of popular teams: Transformers NFL Kansas City Chiefs KC-59, 5.5-Inch...

Some thoughts.
They all share a mould, which is fine.
They all turn into helmets, which is genius. Collectable helmets is a big thing among NFL fans. I'm not sure how big the overlap is between NFL fans and Transformers fans, but a helmet alternate mode does seem to be something someone in those two demos would be into.
Looks like they all come with a 5mm port compatible football accessory, which should be fun if you're into figure photography.
They all seem to have mini helmets they're wearing over their robot heads, which is super fun. And again, opens up opportunities for staging figure photography.
lol at them all being Autobots. They gotta make the Raiders one a Decepticon, at the very least.
Good eye!
A few more notes.
They gave them all names. The Cowboys one is named "Starblitz." The Chiefs one is "KC-59." The Steelers one is "Smashmouth." And the Packers one is "Tundra Prime." Meaning G-ddamnit. I'm gonna need to get a Packers one for my Prime shelf.
Also I'm totally getting a Bucs one when that one comes out but while the current design would be fine, I'd love a throwback one.
petition to kick hasbro out of new england for not having the patriots as one of the first teams represented in this collab
Well, I'm glad the Packers are being represented...but is it wrong for me to hope that we get one of these guys for every NFL team?
I think they're doing all thirty-two teams. These are just the first four announced.
Not a huge fooseball fan, but da Bears would be my local-ish team, so that would be my preferred one to get. Wonder if these will be reasonably priced, or if the NFL license fees will make these expensive?
Like, reasonably priced enough that someone would buy one just to get a tiny football and helmet for Blitzwing to use? Asking for a friend.

Someone at Hasbro setting up the Packers one as a Prime feels like a bad omen for the Bears.
Those are cool, I'll definitely get a Raiders one if they come out with one (and I am honor-bound to hate at least 3 of those first 4.)
Sports Label returns!
I'm not from the US and have never really gotten football or really most sportsball, but even I am wondering bout having one of these if the colors are nice. If for nothing else than to pose with Laceface.
This is also what I recall from the leak (although it's been so long idk if it's part of the leak or just an idea someone mentioned after hearing "Transformers x NFL"). These being easily-repurposable helmets also lends itself well for that. And honestly it's a great idea, as each (interested) team's merch department can just keep ordering some of these to stock in whatever stores or stands they sell at (as well as their online storefronts)? Really lends itself well to fans of either franchise, as even if you're not into TFs specifically it's a neat little novelty. Huge collab deal.

If Hasbro had any chutzpah they'd make this a Transformers X Starting Lineup collab.
G-ddamnit. Ok. Time to search up BotBots on eBay.
I don’t know much about American football but I am surprised that they managed to keep the focus on the products instead of Taylor Swift.
I'll definitely go for the Lions version. Doubt it will happen, but ideally he'll be the line's Megatron. Would make sense to have him in the same division with the Prime.
I'll still say my ideal Lions TF collab would've been Legacy Lio Convoy in blue and silver with a BM Megatron head.
I would love to see an updated Mach Kick some day. Not that I have any connection to, or even really know anything about, the character. I just really want to toss him up on a shelf along with Thundertron, Mutant Tigatron, and Red Wing. This collab could go there too.

I don't think we saw prices for the Hot Wheels guys, either.
ANYWAY. If there's only one mold (well, at least a couple different heads), maybe that keeps the costs down.
TFormers says they're $24.99
