Autobots

Back in the early 2000's, Hasbro had planned to release a redeco of Beast Wars Cheetor as a character named Nightprowler, but that toy was cancelled.  Now decades later Nightprowler is finally released, this time as a redeco of Kingdom Cheetor!  Check out my review and gallery of this new release.

Back in January it was revealed that new versions of Grimlock and Optimus Primal would be released under the Classic Heroes Team banner as a follow up to the long running Rescue Bots toy line. For those interested in picking these figures up, Entertainment Earth has posted full listings and are taking pre-orders. Entertainment Earth is currently running a special where a $39+ order gets free shipping with the code SPRINGFREE22.

It's Friday and Hasbro is wrapping up its "Wreck 'N Rule" collection reveals with Diaclone Universe Twin Twist! This is a redeco of the Titans Return Twin Twist figure which was rare even during its initial release. The colors are based on the toy released by Takara way back when that would eventually become Twin Twist in G1. Twin Twist is $24.99 and scheduled to ship on November 1, 2022.

We're on Day Four of the Legacy Wreck 'N Rule reveals and this time we have Voyager Class Bulkhead from Legacy featuring a camo deco and an additional hammer weapon (which itself might suggest a future redeco/retool as Breakdown!).  Transformers Prime Bulkhead was a member of that show's version of the Wreckers, so this is a fun nod to that character.  Bulkhead is $33.99 and is due for release on November 1, 2022.  You can preorder now via my Amazon affiliate link or

It's Day Three of Hasbro's new Legacy reveals for the Amazon/Hasbro Pulse "Wreck 'N Rule" collection! Today's reveal is one of the most iconic Wreckers: Springer! This figure is a redeco of Siege Springer in more Marvel G1 comic book colors even featuring a Wreckers logo on his chest!

As a follow up to yeterday's reveal of Impactor and Swindle set, we now have our look at the next "Wreck 'N Rule" collection pack: G2 Leadfoot and Masterdominus! G2 Leadfoot is a retool/redeco of Mirage based on the G2 Rotor Force team member. Masterdominus (with a very punny name) is a retool/redeco of Ractonite. The set is $44.99 with a November 1, 2022 release date.

The folks over at Takara Tomy Mall have posted a new reveal: Studio Series Arcee! No, not the one from the Bumblebee Movie but rather one geared towards being part of the Studio Series 86 line! This Arcee appears to be a redeco and retool of the Thrilling 30 figure, and surprisingly not the recent Earthrise/Kingdom release! This is cool in my book since I consider this the superior figure to use as a foundation.

It has been a while since we have heard about new Masterpiece releases, but that time has finally arrived! Thanks to the folks at Cybertron 21 on Youtube we now have a mirrored video from Takara Tomy introducing Masterpiece MP-56 Trailbreaker! Based on the character's appearance in the G1 cartoon, this figure comes with a bunch of accessories calling back to episodes that featured the classic Autobot.
