Toy News: Hasbro to Reissue "Siege" Prowl and "Earthrise" Trailbreaker

Hasbro is continuing its reissues of figures from previous years.  The latest two chosen are Siege Prowl and Earthrise Trailbreaker!  Siege Prowl may be a surprise to some as it is the Earthrise version that is most sought after given its very limited release.  However, I speculate they may want to save that for a different reissue of the entire two pack with both Prowl and Ironhide.  In the meantime, if you need these figures you can use the links below to pre-order and support Ben's World of Transformers!

Toy News: New "EarthSpark" Soundwave & Hashtag Figures Revealed

Thanks to the folks at In Demand Toys UK, we have a look at two upcoming EarthSpark action figures!  One is the Terran Hashtag while the other is the Decepticon Soundwave.  What is not immediately clear from these images is what Class these figures fall under.  They look more sophisticated than a 1-Step Changer or Titan Changer so for now I'm going to guess that they are Deluxe Class figures, but I'll keep my optics peeled for confirmation of this in the coming days.  For now, enjoy the pics below mirrored from In Demand Toys UK!<

Toy News: "Authentics" Bravo Class Elita-1 Revealed

Thanks to a listing on Hasbro's web site we now have a look at images and info for Authentics Bravo Class Elita-1.  Authentics are figures largely found at Alternative Channel stores (formerly "Market Six") which include Family Dollar and Dollar General.  The Bravo Class are smaller figures that hover somewhere between a Warrior Class and a Core Class figure.  Optimus Primal is one example.  This Elita-1 appears to use the "Evergreen" design for the character which is typical of Authentics figures.  Check o

Toy News: Official Images & Info for "Authentics" Titan Changers Shockwave

Hasbro has posted a listing for Transformers Authentics Titan Changer Shockwave.  Titan Changers are not to be confused with the Titan class.  Titan Changers are simplified figures (generally hollow) that have very basic transformations intended for younger fans.  When I say simple, I mean they are even simpler than the Authentics Alpha and Bravo Class figures.  This figure should not be confused with the

Toy News: Target Lists Optimus Prime & Ultra Magnus Swapticons

A new Target listing has gone up giving us our first look at the upcoming Swapticons sub-line of Transformers toys!  The Swapticon gimmick appears to involve taking two figures and mashing them together into a single vehicle form.  The figures are two inches and do not feature any articulation.  Target currently lists the Optimus Prime & Ultra Magnus two pack for $9.99 but it is not yet available to order.  For now, check out the p
