Walmart Collector Con 2023 has begun!  Several Transformers exclusives are being offered this year including new Retro G1 figures and a new capsule program based around the character of Toxitron!  I've posted the listings below for you to preorder from both Hasbro Pulse (for Premium Members) and Walmart (Open to all).  No sign of Grimlock yet but this event continues tomorrow so it may be posted then.  Good luck all!

Hasbro Pulse

The folks at Hasbro have revealed that Rise of the Beasts will be joining the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line with a Target exclusive set of figures!  Check out the official product info and images below:

Hasbro Transformers designer Sam Smith has taken to Instagram once again to provide behind the scenes information on an upcoming figure!  This time out he is offering a look at the recently revealed Studio Series Gamer Edition Bumblebee.  Check out the mirrored info and images below along with his turnaround videos!

While Kingdom has come and gone from toy store shelves, Takara Tomy is nowhere near done with the new iterations of Beast Wars era characters!  Leaked earlier this week but officially revealed today, Takara Tomy has revealed a new sub-series of figures they have dubbed "Beast Wars Vintage" (not to be confused with the Wal-Mart exclusive "Vintage Beast Wars" reissues).  The first set of these figures feature redecos of Kingdom Megatron and Optimus Primal.

In a surprise reveal, Hasbro Pulse and other retailers have posted official listings for a new sub-series of Studio Series figures: War for Cybertron! No, these are not from the series that started with Siege. Instead, these go back a decade plus, referring to the War for Cybertron game that was originally released in 2010!  The figures are up for pre-order now with a ship date of July 2023.  Check out the info, pics and links to retailers supporting BWTF below:

A couple weeks ago, it was revealed that Jazz would be joining the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line of Target exclusive figures as an "Origins" figure that would transform into his Cybertronian mode as seen in the G1 cartoon series. The time has finally come for fans to pre-order this awesome looking figure!

It's Tuesday (some would say Transformers Tuesday) and it looks like we have a new reveal via retail distributor Frikipolis: Legacy Evolution Guardian Robot with Lunar Tread!  The long rumored redeco of Omega Supreme and Countdown is now a reality.  It is likely Hasbro will do its own official reveal later today, but for now check out the images and official product description below.  A turnaround video can also be seen on

Hasbro Transformers designer Evan Brooks has taken to Instagram to share some cool new pics of Legacy Evolution Volcanicus!  He is careful not to include Snarl (who has yet to be officially revealed) so Volcanicus has two "Grimlock legs" instead.  However, these give us a great look at the Combiner form of the Core Class Dinobots and Brooks has also shared Skarr's concept art and some cool info!  Check it all out below:

Transformers Tuesday continues to deliver with its reveals!  Thanks to Comicbook.com we now have a look at some exciting upcoming releases!  First up is Dinobot Scarr, a new addition to the team who combines with the other Dinobots to form Volcanicus.  Also in the mix is Dinobot Swoop, in pocket size!  Finally we have a big ol' Dinobot in the from of Shattered Glass Grimlock!  Check out this colorful assortment in the gallery below:

Following yesterday's Super Bowl ad focusing on Mirage (and the Porsche he transforms into), Hasbro has revealed the Studio Series figure on their Facebook Page!  Check out the official info and images below:
