It is with great sorrow that we share with you the news of Jose Delbo's passing. He was an Argentinian comic artist and while he drew possibly every DC character of his era, he is best known for his work on Wonder Woman for DC Comics and The Transformers for Marvel Comics. He was 90 years old. We send our prayers to him and his family.
For those curious about his work on Transformers, Delbo worked on 25 issues of the original Marvel Transformers comic. Below you'll find a sampling of his cover work, some of these covers have become iconic over the years. Please share with us your favourite work of his, and let's all remember this amazingly talented man who provided us with such joy.
The Toddfather himself took to Facebook to present the new toys we previously reported on. He announced the first 4 set of toys and comics from the deal he struck with Hasbro. Some fans may not realize but Hasbro is not behind the making of these toys, and they don't affect any budget or things of that nature, they are simply a product from licensing, no different than an Optimus Prime T-shirt you may find in a store (while that sounds basic, many comments from the previous story made it seem like this was not common knowledge).
Enjoy the video from Todd. All these packs are available for preorder on Amazon and Todd's website.
Fans are eager for the reveals of the second wave of Legacy United, especially when these toys could show up any day now. It may not have been realized by all yet, but we've already seen 4 of the 7 new figures this wave has to offer.
Since deluxe Sureshot and core Dinobot are said to no longer be part of this wave, that leaves the following:
And below are the 4 we have already seen. This is basically to show that we already have a good idea of what is to come and set up your expectations for when the reveals do happen.
While it was made very clear what we'd be getting from McFarlane's collaboration with the Transformers brand, some fans still imagined detailed figures worth adorning their shelves. However, those familiar with the Page Punchers line had a good idea of what we'd be getting, which is more focused on a younger audience and budget conscious parents or fans of small novelty figures. Depending on where you land on your familiarity with McFarlane's Page Punchers products, the new images below will either seem par for the course or disappointing.
Below you will see images of the upcoming McFarlane Transformers products which include two two packs. One with Bumblebee and Wheeljack and the other with Megatron and Optimus. Once again both are made to answer to adding affordable low budget products to shelves in big box stores with a novelty value to it thanks to the synergy between toy and comic. The images are followed by the product descriptions.
The 2 packs are 16.99 each and come with two comics and two 3 inch non transforming figures.
Optimus Prime and Megatron (Transformers) 3″ Figure 2-pk (Page Punchers)
OPTIMUS PRIME
Optimus Prime is the noble leader of the heroic Autobots. He believes freedom is the right of all sentient beings. He carries the Matrix of Leadership, an ancient and powerful artifact that gives him upgraded abilities and knowledge of all Cybertronian history. He is beloved for his compassionate nature, steadfast leadership, and heroic feats in battle.
MEGATRON
Megatron was the merciless leader of the evil Decepticons and one of the most feared and powerful warriors to ever emerge from Cybertron. After witnessing Bumblebee’s horrific murder at the hands of the savage Shockwave, Megatron forsook his leadership of the Decepticons. Now an Autobot, Megatron wears Bumblebee’s badge to carry on his legacy, becoming a force for good.

Bumblebee has proven his worth in battle many times over and become one of the most trusted lieutenants of Optimus Prime.
WHEELJACK

We thanks fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade for letting us know of this neat tidit. Evan Brooks, the Hasbro designer who is handling the Omega Prime Haslab figure is responding to multiple fans on social media. The question of redecos came up and fans were wondering if this being a Haslab release meant there wouldn'd be a chance of that. Well the short answer is "no", as Evan says
"It's certainly possible, I think. I think this is new Territory for the Haslab teams as there hasn't been such an outcry for a future Redeco of a figure until now, haha"
He also confirmed that the ladder can extend. Below is a screenshot of said quotes.

The second wave of Legacy United has hit US ports and is ready for distribution across the globe, so we are seeing more and more of its contents. Like this new review for Gears. It highlights some parts which we couldn't see from the initial images. You get a good look at his backpack, which is pretty massive for a minibot. But the main issue fans are not happy with is the view of the truck mode from the back since that's where the robot mode chest ends up. We do see a fun east egg though with an M on the back of his robot mode head, homaging the G1 toy.
Let us know what you think!
Also, as we have seen with previous waves, Hasbro has been lowering production numbers on these toys, and brick and mortar distribution is unreliable. There is a chance this could end up like Beachcomber so if you think you might want this Gears, it is ill advised to wait to see it on a shelf or wait for a discount.
We had shared images previously of the upcoming warrior class figures from Transformers Earthspark and in there we could see that both Twitch and Bumblebee had these black prongs that hinted at a combining gimmick. Well there are more images now on Amazon and they show us exactly what we get out of that. It's, well, you'll see. Below you will see all the images of these two upcoming toys along with the combining description from Hasbro. They are in the 5th wave of warrior class figures. If you are wondering, the 2nd wave was the one with Thrash, the 3rd wave had Jawbreaker and the 4th wave had the Cyberverse shockwave redeco. It's being found in target stores now. A full breakdown of waves 4 and 5 can also be found below.
Wave 4
2x Optimus Prime
2x Thrash

Ride and Combine description:

Takara Tomy revealed quite the unique item today. It is a display piece consisting of an Optimus Prime statue on a base that can automatically transform from bot to vehicle. It can't be seperated from the base and isn't programable like what Robosen releases, this is not a toy. Instead this is more of an advanced version of the talking and moving coin banks 90s kids are sure to remember.
The full name of this new product is Karakuri Statue KS-01 Convoy and you can see all the available info on Takara's website along with a video right below.
