When a YouTuber also gets to help set up the displays at a toy show it also comes with the perks of being able to handle figures early. That's what happened with Ben Custom Toys was able to work the Hasbro booth at Cybertron Con 2023 in Singapore this weekend giving us early access and our first look at the newly revealed Transformers Legacy United Origin Wheeljack. Surpassing expectations, Voyager Wheeljack does not appear to share any parts with the previous Deluxe Origin Jazz and for the most part seems to be on par with the previous Origins releases. As with the previous releases he's expected to be a Target exclusive, but an image of the box shared on Baidu appears to be a normal United box rather than Buzzworthy Bumblebee. The package also shows that much of the alt mode shell can be removed and probably isn't required to be hung off his back.
Also handled in the video are Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Megatron and Rumble, United Tiger Hawk, Thundertron, Animated Optimus Prime, Animated Bumblebee, Cyberverse Windblade, Rescue Bots Chase, Gamer Edition Starscream, 86 Scrapheap, Reactivate Soundwave, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Starscream, and closeups of others.

After years of demand and and a long wait for a reveal we finally have our first look at Transformers Legacy United Titan class Armada Tidal Wave in all his glory! Our first look comes via several sources including Toy Scope on Facebook, Ben Custom Toys on YouTube and social media platform Baidu user 爱你命三千 (I Love You 3000). Unsurprising the figure is massive and features his cartoon and original Takara toy colors and his two alt modes, Dark Fleet and the massive airship. A little more surprising is he also includes a fourth simple base mode complete with ramp that doesn't seem to be compatible with your sprawling Decepticon cities (but maybe there's a way?), as well as smaller parts to attach to Legacy Evolution Armada Megatron to at least imitate their combined mode and can be added as towers to the base mode. Unfortunately, like Cybertron Metroplex, he will not include his Mini-Con Ramjet but we seem to be getting quite a bit for our money this time around.
We should be seeing him in stores in the summer with a price just under $200 depending on the whims of the stores. We can probably expect a bigger reveal in the coming days and an upload of the video played at the show. Thanks to Seibertronian Rodimus Prime for the heads up!
Great news for Singaporean fans, Hasbro is coming to town and will be bringing some new reveals. Some of the reveals are for the Legacy United line but we also have a reveal for a transforming Dragon which will be made for the lunar new year. From the outline, we can see that it takes some cues from the previous Steelbane mold, in terms of the transformation and where the feet end up on the dragon mode. We have images of both below for you. The news was posted on Facebook.

Hasbro has just revealed a large portion of the first wave of 2024's Studio Series figures at the current London show. These include:
Core Rumble from the opening of the Bumblebee movie, even though he was never seen.
Core Mohawk from The Last Knight
Deluxe Wheeljack from Rise of the Beasts
Voyager SS86 Scrapheap
Voyager Gamerverse Starscream from War for Cybertron
Leader Megatron from the opening of the Bumblebee movie, even though he was never seen. He is a triple changer, as was rumoured, with both a ground and air mode.
Yup, you read that right, the Toddfather got the Transformers license from Hasbro. That's a pretty big deal given that they are the license holders for DC which was once held by Hasbro's biggest industry rival, Mattel. And now after all these years, toys from both Hasbro and DC will be in the very same toyline called Page Punchers.
Ok, so to rewind it back and give you all the info, the McFarlane toy company has been more mainstream than ever before, with them releasing a few lines found on toy aisles at the largest retailers in America. With the DC license, Mcfarlane has a subline called the Page Punchers line where a figure is releases with a comic. The figures are in both the 3 inch and 7 inch scale. And at the New York Toy Fair, it was revealed that the Page Punchers line in the 3 inch scale would now also have Transformers and GI Joe figures.
The ones showed at the fair (where no pictures were allowed) were Duke, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander and Crimson Guard for GI Joe and Optimus Prime, Wheeljack, Megatron and Bumblebee for Transformers. These where also packed with IDW comics but it is unknown if that is just a placeholder comic as what was shown was not final.
As anyone still looking for some of 2015's RID toys on e-bay can attest, the original figure of a new Transformers character can become very expensive as the demand grows year after year. Hence why many fans have been looking forward to getting their hands on the Earthspark Nightshade figure, along with the need to simply own a toy of a character they like. Hasbro has finally officially revealed the final wave of Earthsaprk deluxes for this year, with preorders for Nightshade available on Pulse and Amazon. We have links below. You can also tempt your luck to find them at retail with them starting to appear at Walmart stores in the US.
In other Earthspark news, Hasbro revealed some new toys at the Toy Fair in New York. These are the Cyber Combiners which are similar to the crash combiners we had in previous lines. This time, it's a combination of an action figure of the human characters in an exo suit, combined with a transforming figure of Twitch or Bumblebee. You can see the photos below.
Voting for the Transformers Hall of Fame 2023 has opened up. Voting closes on September 17, and the winner will be announced on the 22nd in a Hasbro Pulse livestream.
"Favorite Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon series) character"
And
"Legacy: Evolution toy of the year"
Now, Sky-Byte was the indisputable breakout star of the RID 2001 series, and made it all the way to the final voting of 2012 Hall of Fame (but lost to Wheeljack). If anyone deserves the win this year it's him, and this could be his last chance.
And, the Hall of Fame has never guaranteed a new toy for the winner. The only fan polls that have resulted in new toys have been the non-Hall of Fame ones, like the ones that yielded Windblade, Victorion, Titan Trypticon, some of the Vintage G1 reissues, etc. So no matter who wins this vote, it won't directly result in a new toy for the winner. All that the Hall of Fame really results in nowadays is a little tiny icon in the top-right corner of a TFWiki page.
Also, Sky-Byte winning this year would be even more meaningful because... well... his voice actor, Peter Spellos, is current battling Stage 3 pancreatic cancer. He's set up a GoFundMe for anyone to help him in this literal fight for his life.
Great news for all those who ordered the Haslab Deathsaurus figure. We have new images from In Demand Toys and those include images of the box. Also, the figure was present at the ACGHK2023 show in Hong Kong amid a large Transformers section. You can see those images below. The images of that event come from Snakasblog.
