As anyone still looking for some of 2015's RID toys on e-bay can attest, the original figure of a new Transformers character can become very expensive as the demand grows year after year. Hence why many fans have been looking forward to getting their hands on the Earthspark Nightshade figure, along with the need to simply own a toy of a character they like. Hasbro has finally officially revealed the final wave of Earthsaprk deluxes for this year, with preorders for Nightshade available on Pulse and Amazon. We have links below. You can also tempt your luck to find them at retail with them starting to appear at Walmart stores in the US.
In other Earthspark news, Hasbro revealed some new toys at the Toy Fair in New York. These are the Cyber Combiners which are similar to the crash combiners we had in previous lines. This time, it's a combination of an action figure of the human characters in an exo suit, combined with a transforming figure of Twitch or Bumblebee. You can see the photos below.
Voting for the Transformers Hall of Fame 2023 has opened up. Voting closes on September 17, and the winner will be announced on the 22nd in a Hasbro Pulse livestream.
"Favorite Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon series) character"
And
"Legacy: Evolution toy of the year"
Now, Sky-Byte was the indisputable breakout star of the RID 2001 series, and made it all the way to the final voting of 2012 Hall of Fame (but lost to Wheeljack). If anyone deserves the win this year it's him, and this could be his last chance.
And, the Hall of Fame has never guaranteed a new toy for the winner. The only fan polls that have resulted in new toys have been the non-Hall of Fame ones, like the ones that yielded Windblade, Victorion, Titan Trypticon, some of the Vintage G1 reissues, etc. So no matter who wins this vote, it won't directly result in a new toy for the winner. All that the Hall of Fame really results in nowadays is a little tiny icon in the top-right corner of a TFWiki page.
Also, Sky-Byte winning this year would be even more meaningful because... well... his voice actor, Peter Spellos, is current battling Stage 3 pancreatic cancer. He's set up a GoFundMe for anyone to help him in this literal fight for his life.
Great news for all those who ordered the Haslab Deathsaurus figure. We have new images from In Demand Toys and those include images of the box. Also, the figure was present at the ACGHK2023 show in Hong Kong amid a large Transformers section. You can see those images below. The images of that event come from Snakasblog.
Below you will see the official stock images for every new Transformers toy that was shown at SDCC 2023, except for Noah Diaz. Some exclusive will be available for preorder tomorrow while a bulk of the non exclusives will be available later in August.

We had quite the pleasant stream today, filled with reveals of toys we had not seen well yet. Below is a list of the reveals along with the stream itself and images. There are annotations when appropriate. Some items will be available on Pulse today while others will be available for preorder thursday.Also, while you are on Pulse, check to see if the deals on their current sale interest you.
Deluxe Mirage, the face will be painted to be more accurate in the finished product
Leader Optimus Primal, will have a darker colour scheme to match the film but sadly comes with open mouth to match the earlier design given to the team. We were given a lot of reasons why this was a leader class toy rather than voyager class toy and it goes as such:
- Added articulation not standard in other classes such as fingers and butterfly joints, to reenact the chest pounding
- Minimal hollowness
- Extra accessories including 2 halves of the Transwarp key, two blades which connect to a fully poseable and segmented chain, and the battle axe for Optimus Prime (which could not be included with Prime at the voyager price point)
Legacy
Core Class Snarl
Core Class playset with Optimus Prime, trailer, and Bumblebee (Pulse Exclusive)
Deluxe Bombshell
Deluxe Shadow Striker
Deluxe Strongarm, retool of Elita 1 and more toon accurate than other G1-ified characters from other "Universes"
Deluxe Detritus, which has the Earth Mode Hound body (Earth mode Hound was not mentionned)
Voyager Bludgeon, Tarn repaint with new head and Sword as we have known for a while due to the test shots
Voyager Trashmaster, also modular like the other Junkions and there is an intended combiner mode that is yet to be seen.
Leader Dreadwing
Generation Selects Antagony which also comes with TMII Scavenger head (for you to place on Inferno)
Buzzworthy SS86 Ironhide and Prowl, meant to show the exact moment they get shot, rather than the moment directly after that when they are dieing/dead
Buzzworthy Trooper pack, where even though the seeker still looks very blue in the stream, we are told he is more lavender.
Hasbro has gone in on the Pride Month this year with some merchandise to celebrate Pride, which takes place during the month of June.
