Ever since the Bumblebee movie, Hasbro decided to have the main movie toylines target children, which remains their primary audience in general for the Transformers brand. It did mean that the toyline was gimmick heavy. That theme transferred over to the two animated toylines since and the Rise of the Beasts toyline (though there were deluxes and voyagers scattered there at times). With Transformers One being an animated film for kids, it should come as no surprise that Hasbro is continuing this 5 year trend. We now know some of the toy classes coming out for the Transformers One toyline.
Those include:
Prime Changers, Mega Changers, 2 in 1 Masks (making a return from ROTB), Cybertron Launchers, Power Flip, Race Changers, Race and Blast, Racing Bot Shots (intriguing), COG 1 Step, Battling Figures, Power Glow, Energon Reveal and others.
The full list of listings we have at the moment can be found below and all are coded. Also please note: in movie toylines, the codes are not hints, they mean nothing. They are deliberately random to keep discretion within the movie project. The listings came from JTPRime17.

We're still many months away from the premiere of the 8th modern Transformers movie "One" currently aiming for a September 13 release, and we already have our first actual public online store listing (as opposed to one found by employees in store computers). Thanks Seibertronian -Kanrabat- for bringing to our attention in the Seibertron Energon Pub Forums a mystery pre-order on Amazon Canada for a figure code named "Tra Mv8 Prime Changers - Admiral". That doesn't really offer much of a clue as to what these figures are as we had a few "changers" in the Rise of the Beasts movie toy line. Also keep in mind this price is in Canadian dollars. Pretty good chance "Admiral" is a stand in for Optimus Prime, but there isn't always much logic to these code names. The release date is listed as August 1, 2024, but as with most release dates these days it is also likely a placeholder, but could also be a street date. Hopefully we'll be seeing many more listings soon!
Yolopark has updated their website with a slew of new images for the upcoming Rise of the Beasts Cheetor and Rhinox. The images show us the final deco for each along with some comparison images. We also see that Cheetor comes with additional pieces for the previously released Bumblebee which had no weapons.
Hasbro is going big on the Bumblebee movie Cybertronian designs in 2024. Below you will find a review to the triple changer leader Megatron we'll be getting soon. Also, we now have the first images for the upcoming voyager Shockwave from this same subline. It is basically the same design we got with the core class version but now the size of voyager BBM Soundwave. The alt mode is still not much to look at. These images come from Transmimi over at TFW2005.
Keegan-Michael Key is becoming quite the dominating force in voice acting roles for big animated films. We heard him as Toad in Super Mario Brothers and you can also hear him in Migration. He also voices Bumblebee in Transformers One. However, unlike other voicework where he tends to disguise his voice or sounds different than his usual self, he will not be altering his voice for Bumblebee. In the short clip from Collider below, he states that the director didn't want him to change his voice and to simply sound like himself.
However, we do have to remember that these are robots and thus there may be voice altering or an effect added in post production. He can only speak to his performance and not the finished product.
The Transformers Team over on the Hasbro Pulse YouTube channel decided to have a little fun between BMac, Evan and Mark and do a sort of sports style "toy draft" picking their favorite figures of 2023 without duplicating picks for their "teams". They're picks were broken down by class as well as a wild card pick in no specific order. While mostly just something done for fun it did include quite a bit of banter between the three that has given us some insight into what we might find in the future as well as insight into the design process of figures they chose.
- It doesn't sound like they're working on a blue G2 Grimlock... yet.
- There was a brief, not by name mention of Dino King when talking about Core Scarr
- They actually called Nemesis "dommy mommy"... (Link is at least visually safe for work.)
- They said they have way more female characters than most people know about. Not sure if that meant to pick from or in the works.
- Apparently Takara gave the go ahead for SS86 Rumble and Frenzy to get their cartoon colors matched to their names (RiBFiR) after Siege went the other way (seemingly at Takara's request).
- Mark actually said Ultra Magnus has been under represented leading to the SS86 figure.
- Mark used some of Aaron Archer's original concept art when designing Commander Class Armada Optimus Prime.
- Mark was also the one that got Buzzworthy Tow-Line made.
- They joke about only making 4 SS86 Dinobots. They must hear that alot.
- Lots of gushing over Retro reissue pink Hot Rod and praise for that line in general.
- Mark actually went to a dump and waste management site for inspiration with Trashmaster (who was named by their copy editor).
- Tease more Insecticon repaints (but definitely no more Dinobots).
It's a little telling that while they praised the Studio Series line, most of their picks came from Legacy. Was there anything big that was missed? Let us know in the Seibertron Energon Pub forum!
Any vinyl lovers out there? Well the Transformers Rise of the Beasts soundtrack is coming out on vinyl on December 15th and a bunch of stores have it for preorder. Below is a list of places to preorder it in the US and Canada. It is limited to 500 copies according to the listings. The music is by, who we interviewed. You can check out that interview below of you haven't already.
We're nearing the release of Movie Masterpiece MPM-14 Bonecrusher and we're already getting our first tease of the next MPM. Thanks to the finding of Jtprime17 we're now aware that what we're going go guess is MPM-15, Brawl, is on the horizon! At this point we know next to nothing about the release but it's probably a safe bet that it'll be a Target exclusive in the US and available worldwide through the usual suspects like Amazon Japan.
With this we're basically at the end of of the 2007 movie lineup, the only exclusion being Frenzy. Maybe Hasbro will find a way to fix that someday soon. Hard to say if we'll be seeing Brawl's reveal this year or not but we shouldn't be too far away from it. More as we learn it. Big thanks to EvasionModeBumblebee for posting this in the Energon Pub Forums!
Thanks to ToyBase on Youtube, we have our first transformation video for the upcoming Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-14 Bonecrusher! This video gives us some size comparisons in robot mode and in alt mode for Bonecrusher compared to MPM-4 Optimus, as well as a full vehicle to robot conversion sequence.
Bonecrusher appears to have a very intuitive yet straightforward transformation, with some awesome little details such as how his crotch wheels in the inner thighs are formed, and how much of his alt mode goes into his giant claw.
Also briefly shown off are the flame effects from when he smashes through the bus, his alternate claw pieces, and his alternate face from when Prime gives him a solid punch.
Check out the video below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
Christmas shopping season has started at Toysrus. Their stores are stocked to the brim, including the Transformers section. While there is a lot of stock, amount wise, there isn't much variety. It mainly features non Studio Series Rise of the Beasts toys and Cyberverse, which makes sense as they mainly target parents/kids. They also concentrate on their exclusives and their big Transformers deal for the next two weeks combines those two strengths of their: the exclusive mainline Rise of the Beasts 3 pack from the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line.
Below is how various Toysrus stores look like at the moment. You'll notice that they did get the wave 4 Legacy deluxes, but in a small amount, compared to the rest. They are also up to date on the Cyberverse line, with the latest Arcee/Hashtag finger puppets and the warrior Megatron wave.
In other sightings news, the final wave of 2023's Studio Series line is being found in Canada. Leader Primal and the deluxe wave with Mirage and Nightbird has been found at Gamestop.
