Hasbro continues its slow but steady march toward Bruticus, and this time, it is bringing out the big gun. Freshly launched is the Transformers Age of the Primes Commander Class Combaticon Onslaught, the calculating leader of the Combaticons and the backbone of one of the most iconic Decepticon combiners ever […]
Recently, I came across a piece of news about a man modifying his body to look like an alien. For fans of Transformers Bumblebee—specifically the movieverse version—you don’t need to go to such extremes to look like dear old Bee. Killerbody has the costume and now even his signature blaster […]
I am beginning to suspect Takara Tomy has an ambitious plan to bring back all G1 Transformers toys. Perhaps it is to fulfil the vision of making better versions of the G1 toys that the technology did not allow, and also to tickle the nostalgia in fans, so we would […]
I suspect that the Cybertronian lifeforms who call themselves Transformers are leveraging Robosen Robotics to progressively infiltrate Earth. How so? Well, Robosen first brought Optimus Prime to Earth, then Megatron followed behind. Not too long after, Bumblebee came along, and now the superior Decepticon, Soundwave, has arrived, too. That’s right, […]
Another combiner is set to join the Age of the Primes toy line. Joining the likes of Menasor, Devastator, Superion, and the reissue of 2018’s Power of the Primes Predaking is yet another Decepticon combiner, Bruticus. Like the previous combiners, each member will slowly roll out, and so getting the […]
Transformers toys will help you see inflation. Case in point: the Transformers Power of the Primes Titan Class Predaking. It was released in 2018 for US$159.99. It recently had a reissue, and guess how much it is 7 years on in 2025? US$229.99. If anyone’s doing the math, that is […]
At this point, I am starting to think Transformers characters are just actors from Cybertron. How else do you explain Optimus Prime being a steampunk train, and Starscream, a steampunk aircraft, and then they were something else previously, like, you know, a cab-over semi truck and an F-15 Eagle fighter […]
First, it was Ultraman hugging your jocks; now it is Transformers’ turn. HIPSHOP, the Japanese fashion underwear brand best known for its bold, pop-culture-infused designs, now brings iconic OG Transformers characters to the underwear world with its latest collaboration with Takara Tomy. The Hipshop Transformers Series Men’s Underwear features iconic […]
If fans of Metal Gear Solid can smell like Solid Snake (spoiler: they won’t), then you bet your Energon Transformers fans can too. The Transformers Perfume Collection reimagines how Cybertron’s finest (and worst) might smell if they weren’t made of steel and ambition. These are not “engine oil chic” scents […]
Transformers toy collectors are living in an exciting time. Why? For the first time, you don’t have to spend ridiculous money hunting down a piece of toy history—if you could even find one. The new Transformers Spotlight Optimus Prime set lets you do just that. This trio of Deluxe Scale […]
Good news for Transformers fans who grew up in the late ’90s: Maximal Big Convoy, a.k.a. Mammoth Prime, has finally stomped out of Japan and into the global spotlight. Previously, a Prime (or Convoy, as they call him in Japan) with a mammoth alt mode was exclusive to Takara Tomy. […]
