Seeing as how this is basically the main thread for the Animated toyline (if we had one before, I can't find it), I'll post this news here.
Canceled designs for heretofore-unknown-about toys for a Deluxe Cybertronian Bumblebee and an Activators Rodimus have been found all these years later!
Transformers Animated scholar Keyan Carlile (who's been making all the big Animated Season 4documentaries) has received their CAD drawings and posted them to Twitter.

Below we have a review for the second pair of Cyber-Combiners that you'll shortly be seeing on shelves. Enjoy.

The Cyber-Combiners are the best parts of Crash Combiners, and the Energon Powerlinx system, enhanced for 2024. Twitch and Robby make for a great pair but having both sets in I feel that the best combinations are between each human mech and each Autobot. I recommend the line and look forward to what's to come.
Thanks to JTPrime17 and Silver Optimus, we have word of several upcoming Transformers figures due top found listings.
The big one would be the next crossover figure with GI Joe being Optimus Prime as a MOBAT tank with a General Hawk figure. That means it would probably be the second version of Hawk since the original Hawk was only a colonel.
There is also news of a Studio Series 86 Blaster which will be Target Exclusive and simply a repaint of the Kingdom mold (so the same thing we saw with 86 Cliffjumper). You can discuss more about that figure here: /energonpub/studio-series-86-discussion-p2174642.php#p2174642
We also have listings for an unknown type of toy called Mixmashers, here are the codes:
TRA MIXMASHERS BASIC FIGURE STARSCREAM
Product Number: F9732
TRA MIXMASHERS BASIC FIGURE OPTIMUS PRIME
Product Number: F9733
TRA MIXMASHERS BASIC FIGURE BUMBLEBEE
Product Number: F9734
TRA MIXMASHERS DLX FIGURE MEGATRON
Product Number: F9736
TRA MIXMASHERS DLX FIGURE OPTIMUS PRIME
Product Number: F9737
There is also an Amazon Mayhem deluxe two pack and Prime Changers from the Transformers: One movie. What's interesting about those Prime Changers is that they have a street date of August 1st, which helps us know when we can expect the shelves to have Transformers: One product.
We thank Kanrabat for letting us know of a video review which was posted for the yet to be officially revealed Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Shockwave, now in voyager class. You can check it out below. It does go through the articulation, cementing the fact that there are no bicep swivels.
We also have comparison images to the Prime version which this design takes inspiration from, at least for the alt mode, and comparison images with leader class Bumblebee Movie Megatron, which shows that they are almost the same height.
Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999, we have a new video review for a brand new figure from the upcoming Legacy United line, Tasmania Kid! Tasmania Kid is a character from the Japanese Beast Wars II universe, and is part of the first wave of Core Class figures in Legacy United. Let's see what Chuck has to say.
I'm not that familiar with Tasmania Kid, either the toy or the character. I know it comes from the Japanese Beast Wars II cartoon but that's about it. The figure we have here is nice, but I find parts of the transformation fiddly, there will be some lines as is the case with some beast figures. While not the best Core Class figure in United Wave 01, it's not the worst and I know fans of Tasmania Kid will be happy.
It looks like an interesting Core Class figure, with a rather unique transformation. Is anyone adding him to their ranks? Let us know what you think below!
Below you will find both a quick written review and video review of the upcoming Cyber-COmbiner two pack from the Earthspark line which has a transformer combine with a human who is in an exosuit.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Once again another early Christmas present in the form of the Cyber-Combiner two packs showed up from Amazon. The Bumble and Mo Malto set is fun and takes the Crash Combiner concept to a new level. The increase in size allows for more articulation for each figure and the combined mode. Yes, there are some hollow bits on both figures and the combined modes but they all feel solid with some heft. Bumblebee and Mo Malto are fun figures for big and small hands alike.
Hasbro is going big on the Bumblebee movie Cybertronian designs in 2024. Below you will find a review to the triple changer leader Megatron we'll be getting soon. Also, we now have the first images for the upcoming voyager Shockwave from this same subline. It is basically the same design we got with the core class version but now the size of voyager BBM Soundwave. The alt mode is still not much to look at. These images come from Transmimi over at TFW2005.
Peter Cullen, a man that needs no introduction to anyone here, has been honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2nd Annual Children's and Family Emmys this past weekend. The ceremony was originally part of the Daytime Emmys before recently spinning off into its own thing. And who better to present such an award to Optimus Prime than Megatron himself, Frank Welker?
This is a great way to kick off the 40th anniversary of the Transformers franchise which Peter has been a part of the entirety of. Since there's a real chance that you weren't sitting at home watching the presentation online you can watch Frank's presentation and Peter's acceptance speech on YouTube below uploaded by Optimus Production.

Who's got The Touch? You've gotta touch the dowload button for episode 340 of the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast! Host Scotty P is joined by Megatronus, Mr. Starscream, Kuhlio, and Aaarnhide19 to talk all about everyone's favorite blowhole Titan Class Tidal Wave as well as box car Wheeljack. Haslab Deathsaurus, however, leaves no room for speculation now that he is in the hands of collectors. If Legacy Jhiaxus is an A and Shadowstriker is an F, this guy is off the grading scale altogether.
Episode #340 “Victory Lap” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
Here's what we discuss in this episode:
Tidal Wave. Tidal Wave. Tidal Wave was showcased as the Titan Class figure for Legacy United.
Recently revealed Cybertronian mode Wheeljack completes the pairing with Origins Bumblebee!
A leaked listing of a possible Studio Series 86 Commander class Optimus Prime calls for much speculation.
Haslab Deathsaurus is finally here! The crew shares their thoughts now with the figure in hand.
Transformers Issue #3 is out from Skybound. SPOILERS are abound as the issue is briefly discussed.
The Machine Wars and the Beast Wars are in full gear in this week's 1997 episode of the 40 for 40 segment.
