Wonder Festival 2020 is now underway in Japan with the displays finalized and images coming in from various twitter accounts and websites, like Dengeki Hobby. Below you can see Takara Tomy's Transformers Masterpiece MP-51 Arcee in her full glory. However, she appears to be mistransformed. It would explain why her chest area is not propped up properly, which also hides detail from her robot's abdominal area. The price is revealed on a tag next to her and it is 16000 yen, so around $145 USD. Since this does not appear to be an exclusive item, it will most probably be available at a 20-30% discount from Japanese retailers.
Let us know what you think of her and if you will be preordering her or not when the time comes.
And the reveals just keep on coming! Thanks once again to TFW2005 boards member S250, we have our first look at not only Studio Series Devastator in his fully colored combined mode, but also the first looks at his final two components, Leader Class Overload and Voyager Class Scrapper! Feast your eyes below on the mighty Constructicon combiner in all his glory!
Of course, he couldn't be shown that way without his final two components; Overload, who forms Devastator's lower torso and thighs, and Scrapper, who forms his right arm. Concept art of Overload had previously shown him as a multi-limbed robot, and that carries into the elusive Constructicon's design here- he's a bipedal robot with four arms! He also has a really nice looking vehicle mode as an articulated dump truck (carrying what looks like a piece of Devastator's vortex grinder).
And finally, we get a look at Scrapper, who looks to be pretty faithful to his movie design, with his left hand molded as a flail.
Keep in mind that unlike with the just revealed MP Arcee and Tigatron, Overload and Scrapper's numerical designations are specific to the Japanese market, as their designations for the Studio Series line are different from that of Hasbro.
So now that we've finally seen Studio Series Devastator's final two components, and his fully combined form, are you excited to complete this massive combiner? Let us know what you think below, and stay tuned to Seibertron for the latest from Wonder Festival 2020!
Thought you'd be seeing a few reveals this weekend at Wonder Fest 2020? Previously, it had been teased that we'd be seeing a fully combined Studio Series Devastator, but as we have learned, thanks to TFW2005 boards member S250, the next two entries in the Masterpiece line have been revealed, and they are none other than Arcee, the first female Transformer to have a major role in the franchise, and Tigatron, one of the heroes from the Beast Wars cartoon's Maximal faction! As can be seen from the pictures below, there are already color models (if not actual prototypes) at the Japanese toy festival, taking place this weekend. Accompanying displays state that Arcee is MP-51, and Tigatron is MP-50.
As some observers have pointed out, the Japanese text for these displays state that preorders for these two figures should be coming this spring, likely in just a couple of months.
So what do you think of this big news? Are you excited for either or both of these figures? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned for more news from Wonder Festival 2020!
As we get ready to close out the year, the Transformers Hall of Fame is ready to induct a few new members from 2019!
The 2019 Hall of Fame vote is now online, and you can find that vote HERE. The vote contains 2 different voting areas, one for a new fictional character to join the Hall of Fame Lineup, the other to induct a Hasbro Transformers figure from this year into the Hall of Fame. Don't worry, this vote is open to anyone and is not exclusive to social media sites, allowing anyone with an internet connection to vote.
This year, the vote is a little strange, with only 1984 cartoon cast members being on the vote. Amusingly, this vote does include little known character Hauler, who showed up only briefly in the cartoon but has become a fan favorite with a cult following.
Head on over to the vote, and let us know below who you voted to go into the Hall of Fame!
2019 CATEGORIES:
Favorite fictional character from the 1984 season of The Transformers animated television series.
2019 Transformers War for Cybertron Siege toy of the year.
See the official Facebook announcement with link to vote here!
Voting begins Tuesday, December 3 at 10am EST (TODAY!) and closes on Friday, December 7 at 11:59pm EST.
Winners of both categories will be announced on the Transformers Facebook page later this month.

A last little tidbit of news from the #NYCC2019 is the generous reveals for the upcoming creators and covers for Transformers Galaxies #'s 5-12! These were revealed during the IDW panel and later posted to IDW's Editor David Mariotte's Twitter account over the weekend of the #NYCC2019. Below are the tweets that he issued along with the cover images revealed during the panel. There are stories with Cliffjumper, Arcee, Greenlight, their mentee Gauge, and Ultra Magnus on the way, all set in the current War for Cybertron continuity. If the first issue of Galaxies is any indication we're going to be seeing fun and interesting new angles of the current IDW Transformers continuity. Enjoy!
"So these were shown off at NYCC today: TF Galaxies #5 RI-A cover by @Anna__Malkova! The Cliffjumper focused issues 5 & 6 are by @kateleth, @skullmandible, @markerguru, and @dyemooch! Coming in January (and look for more news in the January Previews catalog)!"
"Then we also showed off the A cover to TF Galaxies #7 by @coralus_SF, who is also the interior artist!Written by @SamMaggs this one's going to feature Arcee, Greenlight, and their mentee Gauge, shown here for the first time in her full glory since issue #4 of the ongoing!"
"And, finally, check out the awesome A cover to TF Galaxies #10 by @glovestudios! Andrew, @BrandonEaston, and @teyowisonte are bringing you Ultra Magnus goodness in #10-12, starting in June! Suffice to say, we have a very exciting first year's worth of Galaxies planned!"
Are you gearing up for Galaxies? How long will Cliffjumper survive this time? Will we see Arcee's War for Cybertron toy mold? Let us know in the forums and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!
If you aren't caught up, an event in Mexico made up for the lack of Transformers Studio Series reveals at SDCC 2019. Yesterday, we saw the reveal of four deluxes: the 07 Bumblebee, WWII Hot Rod, Soundwave and the Arcee triplets.
Below you will see official 3-D renders as well as pictures from the show floor found on the this Facebook page. Those images give us an idea of how small those motorcycles are and while these are samples, it could give us an idea of what they will look like in hand.
Also, the preorders for these four toys are now live. You can preorder them on Hasbro Pulse for $19.99 each or BBTS for $21.99. They are due for January 1st 2020.
Just in from our troops who were at the #SDCC2019 IDW Panel is an update on their upcoming Transformers projects. The panel was hosted by David Mariotte with panelists Tyler Bleszinski, Sam Maggs, Michael Kelly, Erik Burnham, Livio Ramondelli and Brandon Easton.
Click on the video below which starts just a few minutes into the panel for the full run down but here are some of the highlights:
-The panel started off with Transformers Galaxies and where the 12 issue series will take fans.
-The team of IDW Transformers includes Brian Ruckley, Angel Hernandez, Anna Malkova, and Bethany McGuire-Smith.
-David discusses the new direction for IDW Transformers.
-Third arc will start in issue #13. A few covers are shown. As stated there will be "Lots of cop, drama action along with political intrigue."
-Michael states "Giving Cybertron a rebirth before the events that lead to the war was really important." He wants the planet to feel like a character in its own right.
-Livio covers of the Constructicons Rising and mention of "Devastation" being on its way.
-#1 Casey Colier cover and Nick Roche cover both with colors by Josh Burcham.
-#2 and #3 Andrew Griffith cover.
-Alex Milne cover with Josh Perez.
-The Constructicons will span issues 1-4.
-Issues 5-6 will focus on Cliffjumper and will be by Kate Leth and Cohen Edenfield.
-Issue 7-9 will focus on Arcee and Greenlight and will be by Sam Maggs.
Per Sam the Arcee and Greenlight arc will focus on the next Cybertronian born after Rubble, and how being born into war forces individuals to choose sides.
-She states there will be a focus on the challenges of being a young person making up their own mind and finding their own path.
-Beyond stating she has a personal love of cults and is interested in the character Heretech she can't say too much about where the story will go.
-Issue 10-12 will focus in Ultra Magnus and will be by Brandon Easton.
Per Brandon the challenge is to not spoil anything from the other titles coming before his and mentions he is a big fan of Robert Stack who voiced Magnus in the 1986 animated movie.
-He mentions loving how Magnus as a character always seems like power kept in check by ideals.
-He states Magnus's story will take place off world and will have to do with Magnus accepting society as it has become and not as it once was.
-35 years of Ghostbusters and Transformers!
Ghosts of Cybertron written by Erik Burnham with Dan Shoening. Erik states his favorite character to write is Starscream.
-States he had trouble finding Ectotron's voice until he thought of David Hyde Pierce.
-States he doesn't want to say too much and spoil anything and has been done with the title for three months now.
-The panel then goes over the various exclusives available at the con from IDW such as the Ghostbusters Optimus Prime cover to be signed by Erik at the convention, an exclusive cover with the Ghostbusters Ectotron and Optimus all doing the Ghostbusters dance.
-Also featured is an exclusive cover of Transformers vs. Star Trek with cover by Derek Charm, Transformers vs. GI Joe limited edition hardcover signed by Tom Scioli, and a special edition cover of the Go-Bots.
-Also mentioned is Transformers '84! A new series by Simon Furman, Guido Guidi, John Paul Bove that weaves the gaps between the US G1 comic book and the UK G1 comic book! Any fans of the classic comic are sure to be chomping at the bit for this one.
For any GI Joe or Rom fans there's some new titles on the way for them as well and are discussed at the tail end of the video.

It is that time of year again folks, the time of year when we get ready to vote for this year's nominees for the Transformers Hall of Fame! This announcement is to let everyone know that from now up until June 29 the Hall of Fame is open to nominees for Favorite Transformers Character and for the 2018 Toy of the Year. The nominee cannot be someone who has already been inducted, and you can see a list below along with the nominee information.
So get your nominees in and let us know who you think deserves to be in the Hall of Fame next!
Hi Transformers fans!
It’s that time again to make your voice heard in the Transformers Hall of Fame vote for 2018! Hasbro is asking fans to help nominate inductees into the Transformers Hall of Fame within two categories. The categories are:
· FAVORITE TRANSFORMERS CHARACTER (Fictional Robot Character)
· 2018 TRANSFORMERS HASBRO TOY OF THE YEAR
As you know, no characters who have already been inducted within the ‘Favorite Character’ category will be considered for nomination. A list of inducted characters can be found at the bottom of this email.
The new category ‘Transformers Toy of the Year’ was introduced in 2017 to provide fans an opportunity to share their passion for the figures that have been the heartbeat of the brand for over 30 years. This category will continue in 2018 and is meant to celebrate the new product within the calendar year and the ongoing efforts of the Hasbro Transformers team to fulfill the desires of our many fans around the world with innovative and exciting toys. All nominations for this category must be toys newly released by Hasbro in 2018 and can include figures that have not yet hit shelves in the calendar year, but have been announced.
We ask that you poll your readers to determine the characters they wish to be considered for each category of the Transformers Hall of Fame and share your Top 3 nominees for each category (six nominees total) including the number of votes with us no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, June 29th.
Please rank your outlet’s polling results list in order of who received the most votes for each category. All polling result lists will be combined together, each outlet getting an equal voice. The combined values will be used to generate the final ballot of three choices for each category. Details will follow regarding the official voting process in the coming weeks.
Winners of the final polling will be announced at SDCC during the official Transformers brand panel on Thursday, July 19th at 11am in Room 29AB.
As a reminder, below are the previous inductees into the Hall of Fame. If you have any questions about eligibility, feel free to reach out.
Roll out!
