At the end of the story within the current Transformers: Robots in Disguise comic from Signature Publishing, the best selling Transformers comic globally, it was announced that as of the next issue the comic will transform into a Transformers: Cyberverse comic book with the first issue due on stands on the 21st September 2018.

It is expected that the comic will continue in the same format as the highly successfully RiD and Rescue-bots comics with freebies, activities, games, puzzles and a comic version of each episode of the cartoon.

Twitter user Ryan Sheehey has shared the first images of the upcoming Studio Series figures Sideswipe, Barricade, Crankcase and World War II Bumblebee which are on display at Fan Expo Canada. All four toys are set to be are deluxes with Sideswipe coming with the dual-wield double-barrel guns he had in Transformers:Dark of the Moon, Crankcase appears to be a repaint of Crowbar mold but with a new head, and the WWII-style Bumblebee comes in an accurate military green paint job.

Whilst neither of us could make SDCC 2018 we wanted to link you to those all important galleries showing various toys and figures from the event so lets get started.

The UK toy fair is over and with Hasbro Inc deciding that an appearance was not worth it and that Germany would be the best option for their European offices focus from fans around the world now point at the Spielwarenmesse Nürnberg Toy Fair 2016 which takes place today.  The German fair is well known for leaked product reveals and shall be followed by the US Toy fair.

For years Hasbro Inc produced most of its toys and games out in China then a few years ago they shifted to factories in Vietnam, partly due to increase labour costs in China, and now it looks like they are moving again but this time to India.  According to an article published on The Wall Street Journal on January 6th Hasbro are looking at India as a solution to Vietnam becoming saturated with factories.

“John Leung, chairman of GFT Group Ltd., a manufacturer of Transformers, “Star Wars” and other toys for Hasbro that is based in China’s Guangdong province, said he plans to start producing soon from a rented factory in Chennai.

Eight years ago, GFT shifted much of its production from China to Vietnam, where today the company’s workers earn around $215 a month, less than Chinese counterparts’ salaries. But Vietnam is quickly becoming saturated with factories, Mr. Leung said.

“In the next eight to 10 years, Vietnam will be finished,” he said. He said Hasbro, based in Pawtucket, R.I., had urged him to set up shop in India.”

Last Maximal has posted two images over on the Allspark which show that the recolour of Transformers Classics Optimus Prime that has recently popped up in some auctions is an upcoming release from Platinum Series two pack with a redeco of Voyager Classics Megatron!

The toys within the pack are redecos of the original Transformers Classics Voyager molds for the same characters. Optimus Prime retains his traditional red and blue deco, but uses clear blue panels on the arms and has a Autobot symbol stamped on his wind vane. The Megatron has a silver body, with red forearms and red-and-black legs, in robot form whilst the gun mode is mainly red to pass the requirements to make toy guns look like toys and not real guns.

The set is called “One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall” and much like the Platinum series Planet of Junk Clash set, is another special edition being made to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Transformers: the Movie.

According to Last Maximal, this set is out in specialty stores in the Philippines.

The German toy licensing database Brandora have updated both their listings for the Transformers Robots In Disguise Legion Class figures as well as the Deployer class figures. The new official Hasbro stock images show of the Deployer Crazybolt as well as Legion class Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime and Ratchet.

Crazybolt is a new mold that fires the Cyclone Mini-Cons and is set to debut in the second season of the Robots in Disguise cartoon.

Thanks to the Cybertron Philippines the world has it's first look at the upcoming Transformers Generation One Trypticon Reissue in packaging. The figure features new box art and comes complete with all of his accessories. Do not forget to check out our gallery of the original toy here to help remind you what he looks like
