Toy Fair 2019 – Hasbro Transformers Studio Series

Transformers Studio Series is a great way to provide toys from the movies that are relatively to scale.  Lots of fans loved the original releases from 2007 to today, but sometimes toys were over or undersized.  The Studio Series line tries to provide scales that are pretty spot on. Included at Toy Fair were the new Optimus Prime from Bumblebee (I want!) KSI, Dropkick, Drift, Hightower, and Optimus Prime with trailer! Note: Some Movie Masterpiece toys accidentally made it into this gallery.  Whoops! Pictures by Steve Kushnir

Toy Fair 2019 – Hasbro Pulse – Ectotron, Selects Megatron

Surprising everybody on Friday was Ectotron, the Transformers/Ghostbusters crossover toy exclusive to HasbroPulse.com, Gamestop, and EB Games.  This toy was on display at Toy Fair in his 80’s glory, including his Generation 1 styled box.  That packaging sealed the deal for many fans who were on the fence. But HasbroPulse also had another surprise for fans – Selects Megatron, in an “Unreleased G2 Color Scheme”.  This toy is also available on HasbroPulse for $29.99.  Take a look at the gallery!

Toy Fair 2019: Hasbro Announces Transformers/Ghostbusters Ecto-1

“Dogs and cats, living together — Mass Hysteria!” That was pretty much the reaction this morning when the brand new HasbroPulse.com suddenly provided an item listing for an 80’s Kid’s Crossover Dream: An official Transformers Ecto-1 from GHOSTBUSTERS! Ectotron is a collaboration between Hasbro, Takara, Columbia Pictures, and General Motors to produce a robot that converts into the hearse-turned-ghostbusting-vehicle from the popular movie that surely can’t be turning thirty five years old…. Holy cow. This is nuts. This is amazing. This is Ecto Cooler returning Big. To top it off, IDW announced a five part miniseries featuring Ectotron that will

Transformers BotBots Are Coming, and You Can’t Handle the Cute

After last week’s interesting leak of BotBots, we finally get to see exactly what we’re dealing with. And what we’re dealing with is the cutest batch of Transformers since… Uh… Hmm. Not sure we’ve had any Transformers this cute. Been almost thirty five years, it’s about time we did. BotBots is a new line to be fully unveiled at London MCM Comic Con later this week, and it looks like it will give Shopkins a run for it’s money. Gone are Autobots and Decepticons. In their place are Energon-infused every-day items such as fast food, bathroom fixtures, tech gadgets, and

Toy Review: Transformers Titans Return Fastclash

I never had the Autobot clones, and I only played with the Decepticon clones once or twice.  However, I was still excited to see that these box sets were going to give us two (and most likely all) of the clones.  In the “Chaos on Velocitron” set, Fastclash (formerly Fastlane) makes his debut. He is…. interesting. He’s interesting from a design standpoint. Neither a Deluxe or a Legend class, he exists in new size class Hasbro has said was created for the clones.  So, rather than try to shoehorn him into a size too big or too small, they went
