Battle Masters

In 2005 I helped to introduce a new character into the Transformers universe: Flamewar!  This Decepticon was fanatically devoted to Megatron with a wicked cool deco.  Over the years she has popped up here and there in Transformers toys and lore, but this is perhaps her most unexpected reveal yet: in Shattered Glass!  This reinterpretation of the character features her as a Heroic Decepticon in the topsy turvy world of Shattered Glass features a very true-to-original deco in black with flames.  She features a red Decepticon symbol, so she likely "belongs"

Yesterday Hasbro Pulse and Amazon unleashed a new release in its "Golden Disk" Collection: Jackpot with Sights! Who you may ask? Jackpot was a G1 Action Master released at the end of that era. While the figure did not transform, it was clear form his design that he once could transform into a car. He was partnered with Sights, a bird-bot who transformed into his weapon. Now Jackpot has returned in a transformable body (a redeco/retool of Studio Series Jazz) with a redeco of Pteraxadon as Sights!

Hasbro is holding an online event on Friday, so fans knew some news was on the way this week and now it looks like we may have a clue as to at least one piece of news: the upcoming release of Generations Selects Artfire! Thanks to the folks at In Demand Toys we now have our first look at official photos of Artfire with his Targetmaster partner and Blast Effects!

Thanks to the folks over at TFW2005 we have product images and descriptions of upcoming Netflix figures from Kingdom. Presumably these will be Walmart exclusives like the Siege and Earthrise Netflix figures before them. One pack features Optimus Primal with Rattrap. The Primal appears to be very similar to the Kingdom release.
