A new Transformers line from Takara Tomy has been leaked by TFW2005 user lord ginrai called Transformers Wild King. Before we get into this I will point out that sites are being asked to remove the pictures so you'll have to use your imagination here (or hunt them down). A sales sheet for Japanese retailers is circulating for the new line expected to be released in April 2025 meaning pre-orders are imminent. The line is built around a play feature called "Wildoking" (wild + dock + king) allowing Optimus Prime and Megatron (dubbed Energy Masters) to combine with transforming robot animals called Energy Beasts). Figures will be released both individually and in sets.

That's not all, ahead of release they'll also be launching an Animated series on YouTube in March!

Here's what the lineup looks like and what you should expect from the line. Prices indicate this will be a budget line and images imply they'll have limited articulation.

Energy Masters – ¥4,750 ($31 USD)

-WKM-01 Energy Master Optimus Prime (looks reminiscent of Energon Prime)

-WKM-02 Emergy Master Megatron (tank)

Energy Beasts – ¥2,750 ($18 USD

-WKB-01 Energy Beast Rightol (Giraffe, looks a lot like Longrack)

-WKB-02 Energy Beast Hydrophant (Elephant)

-WKB-03 Energy Beast Captain Vulca (T-Rex)

-WKB-04 Energy Beast Reefback (Triceratops)

-WKB-05 Energy Beast Ignite Bite (Wolf or Lion?)

-WKB-06 Energy Beast Sbilichuan(?) (Spinosaurus)

The Spinosaurus appears to be a remold of the T-Rex.

Wildoking sets – ¥7,700 ($50 USD)

-WKS-01 Optimus Prime & Rightoll

-WKS-02 Megatron & Captain Vulca

Names are far from final, some are probably not even close (Rightol is probably Lightall). Also note that there seems to be an elemental theme going on with the Beasts that will certainly play into their combined forms. We know the giraffe and T-rex can form arms and others will also form legs while there also appears to be interchangeable heads and armor.

With less than six months between now and release are you excited about a new Japanese exclusive budget line? Let us know in the Energon Pub forums!

Initially misread Reefback as "Beefrack", which made me picture a Triceratops being carved up for dinner, i.e. Guiledart's trap mode, due in part to his arch-enemy's head in the pic. Nice to have a new character with a Giraffe alt, so hopefully this line will inject some new beast energy into the franchise.

I'm down! More wacky ideas are welcome, and it's nice to have a new series to look forward to!

Interesting. Something along the line of the old Centurion figures from the 80's, which were essentially human cyborgs that could attach and build weapons and vehicles around them. It was kind of like the Godbomber/Apex Armor for Convoy. I think they were starting to scratch the surface with the Fossilizers, etc, but if they could kick it up a notch that could conceivably be very cool. Like a combination of the Weapon/Fossilizers and the Minicons which unlocked powers.

More combiners are always welcome. I know it was just a tease the initial photo was so small. I definitely want to see the full reveal, and how these combiners will work.

It's a little more like Power Rangers or Voltron, a bot that combines with animal themed arms and legs with some added armor and heads (helmets?) to finish the look.

The figures do require some "parts combining", you have top pop off Prime and Meg's legs at the knees to combine with the Beasts from what we can see in the images.

How would you compare this to, say, the Power Core Combiners we had a few years back? Similar idea, just done better?

Sort of, but the drones turn into robots and the torsos don't seem to change unless you snap parts on. Probably closer to Energon Optimus Prime, but if the drones transform and the torso change remains minimal. It wasn't clear if the libs could be arms and legs, I think the image we saw of the giraffe showed a third and fourth mode, but one was a black and white pic of the figure and the other was a drawing so it could be another case of that Kingdom poster where Ractonite was entirely different from the figure.

OK, I am definitely intrigued. Would be nice to see some new characters and something new and interesting!

(new Transformers concept alert!! Cue whining in 3...2...1...)

If Hasbro would streamline a lot of the gimmick lines into something like the Wild King line then I bet their current predicament wouldn't be so bad.

It's a shame, while I appreciate the look, transformation & articulation of Generations & Studio Series, they are kind of "boring" except the weaponizers and I longed for some fresh gimmick TF to fiddle with and go wild with play patterns for years. All those 1/3-step/flip changers & EarthSpark finger figures just don't do the job for me. Finally this line got that something I looked forward to seeing and have some fun with.

In other words, they got lazy with the design and didn't come up with something more original.

Especially since they all appear to transform exactly the same way, with the animal heads hanging off all of their right shoulders.

Yeah, and that seems to be why the t-rex shows two different arm modes, the swapped the tail and head. Also noticed that Prime's torso can be popped off below the head and shoulders. Looks like these are going to be extremely modular.

I'm also pretty sure parts of Prime's axe snap onto the sides of his head the same way the out of place horns on Megatron's canon snap to the sides of his head.

You know, you just made me realize that these could be kinda like spiritual successor to the "-Izers" that Age of the Primes is going to be skipping out on.

Like the Voyager and Core "izers" that we should have gotten but never did (aside from Trashmaster).

Fascinating. Something like the vintage Centurion figures from the 1980s, who were basically human cyborgs with the ability to attach and construct vehicles and weaponry. It was similar to Convoy's Godbomber/Apex Armor. With the Fossilizers, etc., I believe they were only beginning to explore the possibilities, but it could be really fascinating if they could step it up a level. like a mix of the Minicons that unlocked powers and the Weapon/Fossilizers.
