We all let out a woeful sigh when we found out about the issue on Studio Series 01 Deluxe Class Bumblebee, that the roof piece constantly falls due to a lack of a pin, stopping the toy from having a seamless transformation... but wait, there's hope! Studio Series 27 Deluxe Class Bumblebee, which is a redeco of the 01 Deluxe Class figure, but with some different paint applications and damage in car mode, indeed has the pin. We get this from the two English reviews below, the first of which was made and sent in by Seibertronian PrimeVsPrime, whose videos you've probably seen on this site. The second is from chefatron, who you have also probably have seen on this site!
The pin seems to greatly improve transformation, and will hopefully make buyers of the original toy less frustrated (IF they decide to buy this one anyway).
So, thoughts? Tell us if you would pick up this new figure and do... what to your old figure!
Thanks to a heads up from several of our site sponsors, we have word for you that the highly popular MPM-3 Bumblebee figure is getting a reissue! MPM-3 Bumblebee was released in the summer of 2017 by both Takara and Hasbro, and was popular enough that it has kicked off the Movie Masterpiece line in earnest. The figure is based on his 2007 Movie appearance, and features a highly detailed and posable robot mode with a great car mode, and comes with his signature blaster and deployable battlemask, which does not require any face swapping as it's integrated into this head.
You can find the pre-orders for the reissue below from our sponsors. Let us know what you think of the news of a Movie Masterpiece reissue! Did you miss out and are looking forward to obtaining this guy now? Let us know!

Date: Wednesday, January 9th 2019 7:20pm CST Categories:Movie Related News, Toy News Posted by:Emerje | Credit(s): Nathaniel Prime on Seibertron, World of 3A on Facebook
3A is working their magic once again on the Transformers movie franchies, this time giving us our first look at Blitzwing from the Bumblebee Movie. Thanks to Seibertron's Nathaniel Prime we're treated to a preview of Blitzing on 3A's Facebook page. As expected the figure looks like it was lifted right out of the movie. The non-transforming figure features 51 points of articulation and stands at 10.6 inches tall placing it in scale with the previous Bumblebee figure.
Pre-orders start January 11 with no price given yet. We're hoping they'll have a full gallery for us as soon as tomorrow. What do you think? Sound off in the Energon Pub.

It's been a while since we've had Rescue Bots news! Our very own Seibertron has spotted some brand new Rescue Bots Academy figures. Over at a Target in Rosemont, IL he found the larger changing figures of Whirl and Medix, but Hot Shot seems to have sold out (though we already have a sighting of him). At this same Target we also got a first look at Mega Mighties Hot Shot and Bumblebee in the wilds.
Meanwhile, at a Des Plaines, IL Kmart he also found the latest Rescan-sized Wedge figures. Wedge has also shown up on Amazon as well as Salvage which is currently sitting at a markup.
So are you looking forward to new figures coming in from Rescue Bots Academy? Sounds off in the Energon Pub!
Thanks to Prime vs. Prime, we have a pair of brand new English reviews for the upcoming Studio Series Bonecrusher and Optimus Prime figures to share with you today!
The Bonecrusher and Optimus Prime figures are the first 2019 wave of Voyagers. Bonecrusher comes out rather short in robot mode, somewhat in scale with Prime but definitely short compared to his fellow 2007 Decepticon mates, as Prime vs. Prime points out in his review. While is doesn't appear all that detailed, he does have a nice range of posability in his claw and his legs, and you can get some pretty good range of movement out of him. He features the background of the highway bridge battle from the 2007 movie.
Optimus Prime is a retool of the original Studio Series Prime figure, but now with a more accurate chest and back, brighter colors, and the ability to combine with Jetfire. He also comes with a backdrop featuring his battle with Bonecrusher on the highway bridge.
Check out the reviews below, and let us know what you think of the long awaited update to Bonecrusher and this updated Prime in the comments section below!
2019 will prove to be THE year for Optimus Prime toys. We are getting a record number of releases of this character with a G1 theme throughout most of them. It will indeed be his 35th Birthday and as you will see below, Hasbro and Takara are making sure this milestone is well celebrated.
Since there will be several Optimus Prime toys, often within the same line, I wanted to break them all down for you. Just so we get all our facts straight, I did not include anything outside Hasbro/Takara and nothing from Resue Bots, just the main lines and collector oriented toys. Also, it may be that we have more than these coming out this year.
Siege Voyager Optimus Prime: While this toy did come out in the US and Canada at the tail end of 2018, Siege is 2019's Generations line and Optimus Prime is one of the best toys from wave 1. Many countries have yet to get this line but it should be found soon.
Siege Leader Optimus Prime: Even though we are getting a voyager already, we know that a leader class Optimus will be coming too. It will be a retool of Ultra Magnus, as you can see in the art below. It will be a voyager sized Prime with a Cybertron/Galaxy Force themed cab. We do not know yet what the armoured version will look like, nor how his trailer looks like and how different it will be from Ultra Magnus.
Studio Series Voyager Movie 1 Optimus Prime: The Studio Series will also be releasing several Optimus Primes. This one is a very heavy retool of the first Studio Series Prime with different Transformations steps. This Prime can combine with upcoming Studio Series Leader Jetfire, the previous Optimus cannot.
Studio Series Voyager Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime: Fans really liked the G1 themed design of Optimus Prime in the Bumblebee movie and Hasbro will be releasing a voyager class toy of that design.
Studio Series Leader Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime: All we know about this toy is that it will be coming out this year. We do not know if the fact that it is a leader means it will be a big toy or if that means it will be a voyager with a trailer (such as with the Siege Leader). The images below are just for reference of the character's design and what we got in the past.
Masterpiece Ver 3: This is the third Masterpiece Optimus Prime, the one with the very high MSRP that made the fandom nearly faint. It will come with a trailer and a bunch of accessories, which you can see in the image below. It will also have a Japanese voice chip and Hasbro has confirmed to us by e-mail that even though they are importing it to be sold in the US, they will not be changing anything. Meaning their release will also be speaking Japanese.
Cyberverse Ultra Optimus Prime: It can be very confusing seeing all these similar looking Cyberverse Primes. While we had a leader class toy last year, this one is a voyager sized toy. It will have a Autobot Insignia shield gimmick.
Cyberverse 1 step Optimus Prime (new mold): They will be releasing a new one step as well with an energon axe gimmick. The previous one step didn't have any gimmick aside from transforming in just one step.
G1 Reissue without trailer: 2019 is bringing us lots of G1 reissues, one being none other than G1 Optimus. This figure has already been spotted at retail.
G-Shock Optimus Prime: Part of the big Prime anniversary is a cross over with G-Shock watched where the watch base can transform into Optimus Prime. This is Japanese exclusive.
If you did not know yet, the entire Cyberverse toyline is based around gimmicks. We knew Soundwave would have a Laserbeak gimmick but we never really got a good look at it. It turns out Lazerbeak will be made of clear red plastic and half its body will be popping out of Soundwave's chest. This is for the Warrior Soundwave toy. We also have images of Warriors Prowl and Hot Rod as well as Ultimate Bumblebee and One Steps Megatron, Bumblebee and Prowl. While we did just get a One Step Cyberverse Megatron, this one has a new transformation and a missile firing gimmick.
Enjoy all the pics below, which were found on Hasbro's site.
