The figure line that sees Autobots and Decepticons transform in an entirely different way is teasing a third figure to joint Optimus Prime and Megatron. Kotobukiya announced over on Twitter that Bumblebee will soon be added to the lineup in what appears to be a horned hoody and shorts? It's hard to make out much from the simple silhouette, but Koto knows their fanbase (as evident by comments on Twitter and MFC) so she'll likely have an appealing design.
Meanwhile pre-orders have finally opened for Bishoujo Optimus Prime. The new images of the figure show that she'll actually be coming with an alternate head featuring a stylized mask. She's priced at $150 and expected to ship sometime between April and February 2023.
This is not technically a breaking news style article, but more to inform fans who have been asking where to get these officially licensed building block sets of Transformers Cyberverse characters. The questions came about when we revealed the Grimlock building set the other day since it looked cool and completionists wanted to add these official sets to their collection. It turns out that Grimlock is just the latest in a series of officially licensed sets within the Chinese exclusive Transformers Nehza subline. We had a Cyberverse Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee and Starscream sets before that. While the sets are officially licensed, they are not of actual Lego bricks but by Xiaomi which imitate the Lego Technic bricks (similar to how Kreo-O imitated the standard Lego building system).
They can be purchased on Ali Express. Fans were saying that this would effect a partnership with actual Lego, but as we now know, this is not the case, since after Kre-O and while these technic style sets are being released, Lego still partnered with Hasbro to make a Lego Optimus Prime. All these sets can be disassembled and rebuilt into the alt modes.
The Technic style sets range between $60-$100 USD, here are the purchase links:
Remember the Transforners Nezha line? It was a China exclusive line with retools and new molds in Cyberverse style packaging. We haven't heard of this line for a while but ut seems to still be around. We have an image from Shebtutoybox of another entry in this line consisting of a Cyberverse Grimlock building set made up of Lego Technic style pieces. It has different face options and can be disassembled and rebuilt into his Dinosaur mold.
This product will most probably not be released outside of China.
Thanks to a listing from Toysnowman, we have a better look at the Beast Wars Monopoly set. We can see the tokens really well and discern some cool details. Dinobot, for instance, seems to have the robot mode based on the Masterpiece toy. And the cards refer to moments from the show. It is $70 CAD. Below is a product description with images.

In 1996 the Transformers franchise introduced Beast Wars: Transformers, a new series and toyline that expanded the Transformers universe forever. Beast Wars brought fans Transformers robots that turned into beasts. It introduced the distant descendants of the Autobots and Decepticons, the heroic Maximals and evil Predacons, and immortalized their leaders: Optimus Primal and Megatron, new characters with famous namesakes.
The beloved beasts are back, brimming with 90s nostalgia, and ready to introduce new fans to this exciting twist on classic Transformers robots!
There is quite an overlap between Transformers and rubber ducks, surprisingly enough. Not only do we have a transforming rubber duck in the BotBots line but a rubber duck is featured in the Beast Wars show in a now infamous scene featuring Transmetal Megatron. So a collectible rubber duck company has gotten the Transformers license and which characters do they turn into rubber ducks? G1 Optimus and Megatron. These ducks are collectibles by Numskull Designs in the TUBBZ line and go for $16.99 each. Links are below along with images and an intro video.
Also, these aren't actual rubber ducks, they are PVC figures made to resemble rubber ducks.
Lego announced the Transformers Optimus Prime Lego Set 10302 today and many reviews were ready to go. Below we have more images of the set showing the new pieces made for it (most are simply in colours we did not get before). There is no US listing yet but the word on the street says this toy will be available in Lego Stores June 1st for $170 USD. With there being 1508 pieces, this price comes out to the standard 10 cents per piece + licensing premium, the same we see with Star Wars sets. We also found a video review that we are sharing with you below.
While many Lego fans have expressed anticipation for the novelty of this set both in terms of it being the first Transformers Lego set and this being transformable, Transformers fans are mixed on the toy due to lack of knee articulation and headsculpt. You will let us know what you think!
We also have images from an upcoming review that were posted by Sixo on Twitter, which you can see below. This is a G1 Optimus prime that can also transform, as you can see in the images.
Below is the product info:
Set number: 10302
Designation: Optimus Prime
Number of parts: 1508
Release date: June 2022
Availability: LEGO
Recommended age: 18+
UVP: 169,99 Euro
This Rodimus figure won't be for everyone. For one, it retails for $400, and for two, it is non Transforming. But nothing stops us from checking out these pretty awesome pictures from Flame Toys. While it is the IDW Rodimus design, it uses lots of elements from other Hot Rod / Rodimus versions like the bow from Animated and the fishing pole from the G1 movie. That fishing pole is also a sword.
Here are all the details:
Retail price : US$400
Sale : around December, 2022
Size : 23 cm height
Material : ABS, PVC, POM, Diecast
Product description :
– 5 LED units. Eye, chest, 4 shoulders have light-up function!

– You will get a powered lightning bow as bonus parts if ordering from www.d4toys.com, official shop SEN-TI-DEN, Amiami in Japan or Flame toys event.
Fans were not fond of the WFC show inspired high end statues revealed by Prime 1 Studios. While statues tend to be the only way to get a perfectly accurate character model, like with Bayverse designs, the WFC designs for Optimus and Megatron were based on the Netflix cartoon which simply used the original toy models. Not only are those more basic than a live action movie design, but since they are toys that transform, both Optimus and Megatron had a bunch of kibble and obvious backpacks. Nothing wrong with that on a voyager figure, but fans definitely mocked seeing those designs enlarged with a very hefty price tag. So fans voted with their wallets and there simply was not enough interest in making these statues happen, leading Prime 1 Studios to cancel them.
“To our beloved fans and collectors, We regret to inform you of the cancellation of projects Premium Masterline Transformers: War For Cybertron Optimus Prime (PMTF-05) and the Premium Masterline Transformers: War For Cybertron Megatron (PMTF-06)…
Unfortunately, due to the continually increasing cost of production combined with the insufficient amount of demand and interest, we have made the difficult decision to cease production and development of these statues…”
