Just in from the Hasbro Press Preview are the new Transformers SIEGE toys. Siege is more Generation 1 oriented and more scaled to each other and the G1 style animation.

Hasbro and Amazon have partnered to give Hasbro its own Comic-Con International 2018 storefront, showing off their T-shirts and other limited-edition figures in one place. Is this the start of greater cooperation between Hasbro and Amazon? Will the SDCC exclusives be available through here? We're leaning towards "no" on the latter, but who knows? Keep reading for the link.

In part II of our Power Of The Primes Titan Class Predaking Review Suite, we look at Divebomb, the backbone of Predaking! ...unfortunately that backbone is a backpack in the individual robot and beast modes. Not ideal, but it's still a competent figure on its own - just one with some balance issues. Click here to read the review!

A new Prime Wars Trilogy T-Shirt has been listed on Amazon.com today with a pretty neat image: the first full version of the three-part image on the side of the packages of the upcoming Collector's Edition figures! This is the best look we've gotten so far at the artwork featuring Blast Off backed by Vortex & Swindle, Repugnus backed by Twinferno & Grotusue, and Punch/Counterpunch backed by Fastclash and Cloudraker. (What, not one each of the Autobot & Decepticon clones?) Keep reading for a link, and to see the image!

These are text-only listings we're inclined to take with a grain of salt, but <b>Loopaza Mega Store</b> has a healthy track record with breaking news like this. MPM-6, listed here as "NEW CHARACTER," has already been revealed as Ironhide. But we've also got some interesting Studio Series listings such as Movie 6 Bumblebee, and Optimus Prime! While we'd all been assuming Prime would appear in Bumblebee: The Movie, we think this is the first confirmation of that fact. Keep reading to see the listings!

Torox - formerly Tantrum - and Headstrong, are the biggest Predacons in the set. A lot of that bulk is on their backs, but will be on Predaking's knees. But, do they hold up as individual figures? Mostly, as much as they can. Click here to see the review!

Rob Springer of RFC and Zone Base is on a roll: he also found a YouTube video showing off the new nighttime show at Universal Studios Orlando, which features footage from the Transformers films and Transformers: The Ride projected onto a massive wall of water.

Rob Springer of Radio Free Cybertron and Zone Base has posted a couple of interesting images from the concept art for Universal Studios Beijing, the Chinese extension of the theme park franchise expected to open to the public in 2020.

With thanks to BaCon and Jay from our sister site Toy News International, RAC unboxes and gives his first impressions of Power of the Primes Titan Class Predaking! In this case, the Enigma of Combination is "How well do the individual robots survive the chunks of combiner they each end up wearing? And the answer is "aesthetically, not always too well, but if you can look past that, they're pretty neat." Keep reading to see the video, and watch TFormers for individual Predacon reviews in the future!

It's all built up to this: the final episode of Machinima's <em>Power of the Primes,</em> itself the last leg of the <em>Prime Wars Trilogy,</em> is now up on go90. Titled "Saga's End," the episode blurb promises "Transformers leads to unforeseen consequences that will have a startling impact on Cybertron and the entire Transformers universe." Seems a little late for that, eh? Keep reading for a link.

Griffin of the Ozformers Forums has reported the first known sighting of Transformers: Cyberverse action figures! Showing figures in the Warrior, Legion, and One-Step Changers classes, the figures were apparently priced pretty high, with Warrior Class Shockwave being marked $42 AUD (about $31 USD). Given the SRPs we've been quoted before, we're sure hoping that this is an error and not what Australian fans can expect to pay for these. Keep reading for a photo!

Plus, it appears the Matrix in his chest lights up! Keep reading to see the new image.

Few characters were as striking (or terrifying) on their first appearance as the Decepticon Justice Division from Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye. Via Weibo, we have a look at a test shot of their leader Tarn. The first official Tarn figure, this non-transforming, highly detailed high-end action figure is super-detailed and, as seen in the gallery, sports a fair amount of diecast metal.

Hasbro and Paramount recently held an event in Sao Paulo, Brazil to promote the upcoming Bumblebee: The Movie. And while that's not news, what might be news is the Bumblebee costume on display at the event, as seen in this photo from Exibidor.com, which to our eyes looks a mite different from the last one we saw. It's possible it's a leftover from Age of Extinction or The Last Knight given some of the body details, but who knows? Speculation is fun. Keep reading to see it closer up!

Via a series of postings on Weibo, a rumor has surfaced that TakaraTomy's MP-27 Ironhide & MP-30 Ratchet will be reissued in December! While the molds are generally considered flawed, it's good that key G1 characters will be made available again in time for the series' 35th anniversary. Keep reading for links to the rumor!

In the homestretch now! ExVee reviewed the "Betatron" version of this mold last year, and was less than impressed with a few things, many of them related to deco. The deco has most definitely improved and this time is aiming to match the animation model - it's still not a perfect match, but it looks much, much better.
