Thanks to Hasbro, we now have a few official photos and a short video of the upcoming Buzzworth Bumblebee "Worlds Collide" 4-Pack featuring Blackarachnia (in her original Beast Wars toy colors), Bumblebee, Fangry and Nemesis Primal!  These figures are due out soon as they have already started hitting stores this week.  Enjoy the video and images below and good luck in hunting them down!

In 2017 Hasbro released a sub-line of figures for its Robots in Disguise 2015 line called Combiner Force.  The idea was a focus on the Combiner gimmick with some characters combining as pairs while others performed more traditional combinations made up of four characters.  One of these figures is "Ultra Bee", who was the combination of Bumblebee, Grimlock, Sideswipe and Strongarm.  These figures came and went quite some time ago, which is why my discovery today confounded me.  Upon visiting the Walmart store in Linden, NJ I came across this:

The Buzzworthy Bumblebee line continues to surprise fans.  A few weeks ago In Demand Toys revealed Buzzworthy Bumblebee "Origin Bumblebee", representing the character as he appeared on Cybertron in G1 complete with his "flying saucer" style vehicle form.  Now the figure has begun to hit stores.  A report out of The Allspark Facebook Page shows the figure on shelf at a Target in Dallas, TX (I am not using the image here as I do not have the permission of the original poster).   For intrepid toy hunters who

Update (7/13, 1:07PM EDT):  Hasbro Pulse has posted its pre-order listing for Jetfire!  The artwork for the comic book cover has also been revealed and added to the gallery below.

Last year the Buzzworthy Bumblebee Target exclusive line of figures took fans by surprise when it just appeared on shelves without any official announcement.  That tradition seems like it will be continuing into 2021.  UK retailer In Demand Toys has revealed a previously unannounced Buzzworthy figure: Origin Bumblebee!  For the first time ever, a figure made in the Generations style will feature Bumblebee in his G1 Cybertronian mode, transforming into the "flying saucer"-esque vehicle seen in the first e

Hasbro Pulse has posted its listing for the next figure in its exclusive Shattered Glass series: Goldbug! This figure is a redeco/retool of the Earthrise Cliffjumper sculpt featuring the Evil Autobot in a snazzy black and gold deco. Check out the official product information and images below:

The folks at Autobase Aichi have posted a pile of what appear to be stock photos of an upcoming Rescue Bots spin-off series Dinobot Adventures! Most of these figures are direct redecos of previous Rescue Bots figures going back a few years. However, this time out the deco of many of these figures will look familiar to long time Transformers fans. They are largely based on the G1 Dinobots!

Takara Tomy has posted new listings on its web site for three of the upcoming Studio Series 1986 figures: Gnaw, Slug with Daniel Witwicky and Wreck-Gar. Gnaw is listed at 3520 Yen (about $32.13 USD), Slug at 7920 Yen (about $72.30 USD) and Wreck-Gar at 5500 Yen (about $50.21). Each figure is listed with a release date of November 2021. These are not the actual US prices of course, as generally Japanese prices for Transformers are higher than the prices of their US counterparts.

The Official Takara Tomy Transformers Twitter Page has posted links to the Takara Tomy listings for the next two Premium Finish figures. This series was first revealed a few weeks ago with the reveal of a redeco of Siege Optimus Prime and Studio Series Bumblebee. Now the next two have been revealed.
