Following initial word of an assortment of Hot Wheels cars in decidedly non-Transformers based vehicle options we have our first look at two somewhat more accurate takes on two recognizable characters.
First up we've got a listing for Hot Wheels Track Fleet Optimus Prime straight from Big Bad Toy Store. This isn't just a random semi truck painted up like OP but a new model complete with the instantly recognizable removable trailer design. This is a 1/64 diecast vehicle and at least BBTS has it priced at $10 and shipping in July. This is a new line launching in 2024 so it's hard to tell just how well it'll be distrubted.
Then we've got Bumblebee who may or may not be the same one from the initial listing above. It's a classic yellow BW Beetle, not the scrunched up one we know and love from G1. The photos are posted by rj_nighthawk on Reddit who says he received it from a local Facebook pre-order listing not expecting it to not only be a leaked copy but also unriveted. As the photos show the car shell may very well be a generic body that is used regularly by Hot Wheels, but the underside features Bumblebee's face and Hasbro copyrights.
It'll be interesting to see exactly how this Bumblebee will be released and if we'll see more figures alongside him. And who knows, maybe there's a Track Fleet Motormaster on the horizon as well? Let us know what other characters you'd like to see or if this line is a total pass for you in the Energon Pub forums!
It isn't just G1 celebrating an anniversary in 2024, it's the 15th anniversary of Transformers: Dark of the Moon as well! With the lack of Bayverse figures in Studio Series this year you wouldn't be wrong to think Hasbro would forget, but thanks to Jtprime17 it seems they remembered after all. A new listing was found calling for a new DotM four pack featuring Studio Series Optimus Prime and Jetfire along with two yet to be named Deluxe Autobots.

Product code: G0294
In addition a listing for a three pack of Decepticon commanders was also found featuring Starscream, Shockwave and Soundwave. How the decos for these figures will be different from previous releases, especially the recent Takara Tomy Nemesis Bridge set, is unknown. In fact at this point we don't even know which molds we're getting, Cybertronian or Earth based. It's probably no coincidence that these same three Decepticons are shown together in the Transformers One movie trailer.

If you're one of the many people that were intrigued by MP-60 Ginrai and MPM-09 Super Ginrai but really needed more views, then here you go! Scans from Japan's Figure King magazine #315 posted to Facebook by user Three Star Toys (三粒星星玩具屋) feature four page spread of photos of the actual (not final) figures including shots from the sides and behind. There are also a few comparison shots showing the truck cab to be only a little bigger than that of the G1 figure while Super Ginrai towers over the original figure. We also get get to see comparisons between the two Super Ginrai heads. There's a few good looks at their articulation including the good news that it appears Ginrai can stand up straight if you aren't a fan of the constant crotch trusting of the stock images, and can nearly bend over enough to touch his toes. Unfortunately they still remain aloof about the size of both modes.
Orders are still open at most retailers. Do the new images change your mind about this figure one way or the other or do they simply reenforce your current opinion? Let us know in the Seibertron Energon Pub forums!
Everyone has been wondering what's next for the Takara Tomy Missing Link line after two stellar figures of Optimus Prime and we may have our answer. Images first appearing on Chinese social media network Baidu appear to be showing the next two figures in the line, C-03 Bumblebee and C-04 Cliffjumper. Like Prime both figures are shown as being fully articulated, but also unlike the originals will include weapons. If these end up being real and not an elaborate prank then we should see official images and pre-orders in the middle of next week.
Big thanks to Fires_Of_Inferno for posting this in the forums!
Takara's Earthspark line has has two new deluxe figures via Amazon.jp. ESD-11 DX is none other than Terran Slash (Thrash). This figures looks to be Takara's release of the Deluxe Thrash.
The more interesting reveal is that ESD-10 DX is Prowl. This time the Cyberverse Deluxe Prowl is getting an incredible repaint rather than the Cyberverse Deluxe Hot Rod repaint Hasbro released.
Both figures are listed for 3,850 JPY ($24.00 USD) and are set to release on June 29 ,2024. Images and Amazon.jp links can be seen below.
Robosen went for a tank alt mode for their version of Megatron. The design and Transformation is loosely based on the Combiner Wars leader version we had a decade ago. In the video below you get a rundown of all the features, including voice clips, commands, and even a firing gimmick. They also highlight how he breathes when he's not commanded anything, which is a bit of an odd feature they keep including, since robots don't breathe.
Figures from the Transformers Legacy United Versus are being sold early on e-bay. And one of those is the orange Tarantulas. This gives us some new in hand images and a really good look at the face. This is based on the early marketing material for Tarantulas along with his packaging art.
Thanks to a post on bilibili, we now have several size comparisons for Studio Series Transformers One deluxe Optimus Prime. The toy is ready for distribution and has been acquired by fans in Asia. The comparisons below show him towering next to deluxes from over a decade ago, including from the Animated and WFC line.
Following the Hasbro Pulse Fan Stream Legacy United Wave 3 figures are now up for preorder. Preorders went live at 1PM for Pulse Premium Members, and at 2 PM for non-premium Pulse Members. You can also preorder from BigBadToyStore as well!

TF:One Deluxe Optimus Prime was confirmed to be the first figure in the A Level category. They mentioned he should be easy to find and be on shelves for around 9 months. The figure is also specifically colored to perfectly match the movie color pallet.
They then went on to talk about the Wondercon reveals hitting stores now.
Nothing new to say about Swoop that we haven't already seen.
Apparently the size chart for the Bumblebee Movie lists Sunstreaker as a giant in bot mode and they chose to make him normal sized to match the other figures.
Nothing new to say about Sideswipe.
Our own Jon Bailey (AKA Epic Voice Guy) from the Twincast Podcast got a shoutout on the stream (you can hear him on the recent episode as of this time #347) for voicing Bumblebee Movie Shockwave in the movie!
