SDCC was the first big look at the next chapter in the Transforners brand's saga : Transformers Earthspark. It is a show that takes place after the war between Autobots and Decepticons has finished and adds an extra layer of lore to Transformers, by having some native to Earth, hence the title. Optimus will be seen by earthlings as one of the greatest heroes of all time and Hasbro is going all out once again ensuring that there will be an Optimus Prime toy on shelves at all times. So in addition to all that was released by Hasbro the other day, we have 2 more Optimus Prime toys coming:
Tra Terran deluxe Optimus Prime
DPCI: 087-26-5856 MSRP: $24.99
Earthspark Spin Changer Optimus Prime with Robby Malto
That later toy was actually on display at SDCC and we have images of it for you, coming from Toyark.
They also took images of the Mandroid BAF figure. He is the main villain of the series and his pieces come with the deluxe toys.
You can see the Mandroid character in action in the trailer below.

Also from Toyark are the shots of the back of 2 toys we had already seem, deluxe Bumblebee and warrior Elita 1.
And finally here is a video on the new flip changers. They are basically the same as 1 steps, but Hasbro added another element to the transformation as you'll see.

These look fantastic. I've always felt that the real ingenuity can be found in the kid-friendly lines.

Sometimes kids figures are fun. I enjoy cyberverse spark armor prowl and shockwave.

There's an actual test performed on all toys called a drop test to make sure they either don't break or if they do break they don't leave sharp edges when dropped from a height that a child might drop them from under normal play. Some toys have reportedly failed this test and will never be reissued outside Japan (Fortress Maximus) while Hasbro likes to implement "made to break" into their toys so things like hinges and ball joints just pop off and back on rather than snap. It's not easy making toys for kids, there's a lot of safety concerns that are taken into consideration first.

Yes, because Hasbro decided they should be to fit their arbitrary division of figures into age classes rather than safety reasons. Prior to the Combiner Wars line Generations figures were 5+ and nothing changed parts and safety wise.

Hasbro precised a few years ago that currently (well then) drop tests are only done on figures with flying alt modes.

It's unrelated to difficulty and only about marketability. The cyberverse deluxes are as complex and are 6+

The deluxes are on par with WFC in difficulty. Some are even more complicated like Deluxe Slug that got me stumped a few times. That transformation was full of unexpected twists and turns making it a challenge without instructions.

Well, I only have the Prime....
But they ARE behind in updating articulation. Yes they have ankle tilt, but there are much ball joints due to the "shape" of cyberverse charecters.

I really would not call the use of a ball joint "behind in updated articulation".
And I would argue that Cyberverse deluxe Bumblebee, Megatron, Arcee, and Slug are actually better than their Siege/ER/SS86 releases.

Also something interesting is the fact that no Cyberverse deluxe got a repaint. We had a seeker mold and a datsun mold, but no repaints. i feel like that has to be some sort of record.

You call that "overpriced"?
Are you new to this hobby?
I skipped on a "scout" DOTM Guzzle because it was it's full 10$CAN at Walmart because I was waiting for a sale. Then I never saw it ever again. Counting shipping, I can't get one for below LEADER price now.
Also if you don't count exclusives, normal retail figures that are not that old can sell for double, triple, or even 10 times the price.
Any CW fans who miss a limb bot to complete their combiner and want LEGIT stuff are in for PAIN... Unless like me, they have a local geek store who still sell those CW limbs at retail prices.
Oh, and don't get me started on G1.

"Scalping" is a term only valid for things that just came out or are technically available on store shelves. Worst victims are badly distributed exclusives of desirable characters. But pass a certain timeframe, it just become the secondary market.
We ALL said that at some point... And years (or decades) later, here we still are.

uh.. nope
Scalping is the term used to describe someone who buys something in low supply and resells it for a higher price to make profit.
https://4chantoy.fandom.com/wiki/Toy_Scalping
I dont give two shits if it is off 4 chan as it is an accurate description. If you buy something with the intent to sell at a higher price you are a scalper dick-bag.

Scalping is anyone that buys something at retail hot or not to make a profit off of it period.

Scalping is the term used to describe someone who buys something in low supply and resells it for a higher price to make profit.

I dont give two shits if it is off 4 chan as it is an accurate description. If you buy something with the intent to sell at a higher price you are a scalper dick-bag.

Sure. But Scalping is not selling a 3 year old toy, that is no longer being distributed, on eBay at secondary market price. Which is what Rodimus Ukraine was referencing.
I 100% agree with your definition though as it would give further credence that anyone who calls out scalping on Haslab projects would be wrong in doing so. Since the supply if those toys was literally the demand of the time.

Maybe I explained myself badly but that's what I meant. If you remove the CURRENT toy from the market just to flip it right now, that's textbook scalping. But if you sell the thing in like, more than a year, way long after the thing is gone forever and can't be obtained by any means, that can't be considered "scalping" anymore.
Because if not, then all those people selling authentic sealed G1 toys are "scalpers". And everyone selling their old stuff are too if the things are new.

Correction. "Overpriced" is relative to what YOU are willing to pay. Perfect example, a normal toy at normal retail can still be "overpriced" if it's something you have no interests in. However, a Grail you were looking for pop in on eBay at "only" 400% of the original retail price and you'll jump on it.
That weirdness is a hidden rule any collectors unwillingly follow.
¯\_(⟃ ͟ʖ⟄)_/¯
On the K.O side-note, I really want a G1 Gnaw but I want the ORIGINAL one. I could pay the 130$+ the sellers ask for but the market is overflowing with K.Os. So I fear to be screwed over. The Gnaw K.O is of horrible quality and it's still 50$US shipped. I handled one at my local geek store and I had to tell the bad news to the store owner. 50$US for that K.O is grossly overpriced I.M.O.

I think I should write an article:
"would you hate the G1 line if it was released today?"
Also, Academy of Dr.X, "overpriced" can only be applied as a comparative assessment. I pay $50-$1000 for comics that were jut 10 cents once. But compared to the current market, I bought them at a pretty good price. There are vintage comics where the seller is asking for much higher than the current market and those are overpriced.
I remember when RID and Combiner Wars were coming out at the same time and while the combiner wars toys were nice, they transformations were all basically the same. Some fans turned their attention to the RID decepticons for a breath of fresh air in terms of design and transformations. I was one of them, it was a great time.

While Megs has a cool design, I am dissapointed by the fake kibble chest and how the rotors can't point up in alt mode.

From a brief cursory glance at the pics I'm down for Megatron. I wouldn't be surprised if down the track and if the show proves to be successful that we get more "older age appropriate" figures which address your fake chest and rotor concerns.

Hasbro is getting ready to launch their new Transformers mainline, Earthspark. This will be the line taking up the majority of the shelfspace for the next few years, as Cyberverse did, to provide kids and parents with Transformers toys all year round for whatever occasion. As with Cyberverse and recent movie lines, the emphasis will be on simple toys and gimmicks, since those have sold well in the past (and in fact, have sold well with kids since G1) but there will be deluxe figures from the get go which aim to provide similar entertainment and complexity as deluxes in other lines. While the toyline debuted at SDCC, it is at the Sydney Oz Comic-Con that Hasbro is showing the final toys in their packaging. We see deluxe Megatron, Twitch and Bumblebee plus Warrior Optimus and Elita-1, along with other toys. It is also revealed that the Mandroid build -a-figure will be made up of 7 toys which will come in different waves. There will be more reveals as the week-end goes on with coverage from Griffin from Ozformers. He wrote the blurb below informing Australian fans of the event:
Transformers Earthspark toys to be revealed in packaging and reviewed at Sydney Oz Comic-Con - Saturday September 24th.
It is at the Dome at the Sydney Showgrounds, Olympic Park, with a Transformers Booth promoting Earthspark, and some other licensed items... so I hope to see a fair few Australian Transformers fans there over the two days.
The booth is at A121, which is right near the entrance... and at 10am in the morning in the "Halloween Ends Theatre", there will be a live reveal of the Earthspark toys IN PACKAGING for the first time in the world.
Since I will be one of two fans helping out Hasbro at the convention, I have already been shown the packaging and toys, and have been given permission to review and post up images after the convention - but Hasbro will be having a professional filming at the convention and the presentation, so you should see something on their official Socials at some point too.
