Following hot on the heels of the reveal of Infernac Universe Nucleous, we now have our first look at an upcoming Voyager Class figure, Vector Prime, from the Cybertron Universe! He looks to be a decent retool of Legacy G2 Jhiaxus (particularly the legs).

Those of you who are Cybertron fans, what's your take on this figure? Is it a decent enough retool from the original use of the mold? Were you going for something different? Let us know your thoughts below!

Another day, another leak! This time from the Transformers Botposting group on Facebook, we have our first look at Infernac Universe Nucleous!

It's easy to see that this upcoming figure is a partial retool and total recolor of the previously released Infernac Universe Magneous, now in a white and gold color scheme, transforming into a rocky muscle car style vehicle; very reminiscent of the retool of Scraphook into Axlegrease.

Is this another figure you'll be adding to your growing Rock Lords inspired collection? Let us know what you think below!

Thanks to the Facebook page of Armada Rad-Core, we have our first in-hand images of the Legacy United Deluxe class Cybertron Universe Hot Shot! It looks to be a pretty faithful update of the original Cybertron toy (which is probably leaving Prime fans a little salty).

Hi, I’m Rad and i would like to tell you about Legacy United Deluxe Class Cybertron Universe Hot Shot!

This turbo revving young punk is a modern update to the original Cybertron toy, with a few alterations in proportions and modern articulation, it comes with his Cyber Key, which unfortunately no longer actually activates any gimmicks, the spoiler/wings have to be manually pulled out.

His weapon is blast effect compatible which is a nice touch, he is a great update to the original toy, though does take a few liberties but thats to be expected when the show was 1:1 toy accurate i think a modern update should be able to play around a little.

While not officially revealed by Hasbro, it's likely that Hot Shot is in Legacy United Wave 3, as leaked figures tend to be in imminently upcoming Waves.

How are all the Cybertron fans feeling about this update? Does it satisfy what you want in a new figure? Are you on the fence about it? Share your feelings on this new addition to the Legacy Unicron Trilogy lineup below!

"Leak" Suggesting that Upcoming Legacy Chromia will be an Animated Prowl Redeco with New Head

Some fans want to be kept up to date on the latest rumours within the Transformers community while others just want to wait for the cold hard facts. And while both are fine, today we will indulge the more rumour oriented side. We've recently learnt from one of the self defined "leakers" that Legacy United deluxe Cyberverse Chromia will have barely nothing new in terms of molding. This is based on an image seen but not shared. The upcoming figure is said to just be a blue redeco of Animated Prowl with a head resembling previous Chromia heads.

Of course, this is to be taken with a grain of salt as there is no solid proof of this aside from the leaker's record which is 50/50. Of course, this will give us an idea of how reliable leaks are.

Straight off the Nemesis command bridge we've got our first look at what appears to be an upcoming reveal from Takara Tomy. Images posted to our Energon Pub forums by Seibertronian Sowndwave76 show what seems to be a three pack of War For Cybertron series Siege Shockwave (possibly without extra parts), Earthrise Megatron and the once exclusive Netflix Soundwave with Laserbeak. with such a blurry image it's hard to gleam too much else, but we can see Shockwave's "barrel" is gray now and the image refers to Megatron as having a brushed metal finish. The set also comes with the same "Nemesis Captain's Seat" (as the image calls it) as the one that came with Studio Series Leader Starscream.

We shouldn't have to wait too long for a better look as Takara Tomy appears to be preparing to reveal several figures at the end of this week (10/6 in Japan) including MP Rhinox and Legacy United Silverbolt.

Fellow Seibertronians, we have a very tantalizing rumor to pass along! Our own Shajaki has pointed us to some pictures gleaned from the Facebook group Transformers Never Die. The pictures depict none other than the most famous of all Autobots, Optimus Prime, in all his G1 glory (minus his trailer). He's packaged in the same style of retro "Vintage G1 Transformer" box that Hasbro has used this year for the Walmart Starscream and Hot Rod G1 reissues. Not a lot information is to be found yet about this mysterious addition to the "Vintage G1" line-up. These pictures may have been taken at a Taiwan trade show. If anyone is able to translate any of the information on the post on TFND or anything in the comments, please let the Seibertron New Crew know so that we can update this story! For now, enjoy what could very well be appearing on Walmart shelves in the near future in the United States and Canada!

Take particular note of the first picture. This alleged Vintage G1 Optimus Prime release is sitting atop the soon-to-be released Transformers Siege Leader Shockwave and Leader Ultra Magnus. You can just make out "Decepticon Shockwave" on the left box and WFC-S13 on the box on the right, which is the designation for Ultra Magnus in the War for Cybertron: SIEGE line.

What do you think of the possibility of getting another reissue of G1 Optimus Prime, but without his signature trailer? Is this a hoax? A clever knock-off? A Hasbro Asia exclusive? Tell us what you think in the comments below as we delve deeper into this mystery. As always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest news on everything Transformers!

The Importance of International Markets for Transformers, Plus Four More Allegedly Incoming

Discovering the wetness of water in economics terms, CNBC has published a short article / interview with Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore, discussing the international impact and importance for US-based productions. Specifically, Pirates of the Caribbean and Transformers, which are both much bigger since their first release abroad than they are in domestic markets.

In addition, they also add that the Transformers franchise will be adding four more movies at least after The Last Knight - three (ish) of which we know about: Bumblebee, Cybertron, and potentially Ancient Rome. But we personally think the article is just speculating. What do you think? Let us know in the Energon Pub!

Dergarabedian said that international audiences, particularly in China, India and South America, still embrace these films because they grew up on big American blockbusters and enjoy the action-packed adventures.

"Action is the international language and that's what audiences really respond to," he said.

"The Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise isn't the only one that gets an international boost. The "Transformers" films have also been met by lackluster reviews and U.S. audience fatigue.

The fourth "Transformers" film, "Age of Extinction," which was released in 2014, garnered more than $858.6 million in international tickets. Domestically, its ticket sales for the full run of the film were about $245 million.

Dergarabedian attributed the film's international success not only to the action sequences, but the cast of Mark Wahlberg, an action movie star, and the fact that much of the film took place in a city in China. He said that international audiences like to see films set on a global stage

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

If you've looked at the movie listings this weekend, and asked yourself "Why is Disney making another 'Pirates of the Caribbean film?" you're not alone.

The fifth installment "Dead Men Tell No Tales" opens Friday in the U.S. With each new addition to the Pirates' franchise, the reviews have gotten worse and the U.S. audiences have shrunk. But overseas, fans are still enamored with Johnny Depp's swashbuckling portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow.

International markets have driven the majority of box office revenue for the "Pirates" franchise since the first film was released in 2003. At the box office "Curse of the Black Pearl" saw a pretty even split between U.S. and international ticket sales, but with each additional release, that gap has widened.

By the fourth film, "On Stranger Tides," more than 75 percent of box office revenue was earned overseas, a whopping $804.8 million.

For comparison, the film garnered $241 million in the U.S., less than the opening weekend gross of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

"U.S. audiences have been subjected to so many sequels over the decades that it is hard to maintain the excitement," Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore, told CNBC.

Despite the lackluster performances in the United States, two of the "Pirates" films have garnered more than $1 billion in total global ticket sales and one fell just shy of the mark with $962 million.

Dergarabedian said that international audiences, particularly in China, India and South America, still embrace these films because they grew up on big American blockbusters and enjoy the action-packed adventures.

"Action is the international language and that's what audiences really respond to," he said.

"The Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise isn't the only one that gets an international boost. The "Transformers" films have also been met by lackluster reviews and U.S. audience fatigue.

The fourth "Transformers" film, "Age of Extinction," which was released in 2014, garnered more than $858.6 million in international tickets. Domestically, its ticket sales for the full run of the film were about $245 million.

Dergarabedian attributed the film's international success not only to the action sequences, but the cast of Mark Wahlberg, an action movie star, and the fact that much of the film took place in a city in China. He said that international audiences like to see films set on a global stage.

"If you look at the numbers, international has to be at the forefront," Dergarabedian said. "Appealing to global audiences is the driving force."

That's why this summer a fifth "Transformers" film, "The Last Knight," will hit theaters.

While several cast members of the "Pirates" franchise have hinted that there could be more films in the future, the studio does not currently have any plans for a sixth installment.

"Transformers," on the other hand, is slated to release at least four more films after "The Last Knight," one of which will be a standalone "Bumblebee" movie set for release in 2018.
