00:21:40 Thanks to weibo user tf-factory, we have our first look at the highly-anticipated wave 2 deluxes from the new Power of the Primes line! The wave features quite the assortment with Snarl, Sludge, Blackwing, Moonracer, and Rippersnapper. Not only does this wave get collectors started on their Terrorcons and G1 fembots, but it will also complete the Dinobot limbs and Volcanicus with the nearing release of Grimlock! Dreadwind will also be united with his counterpart so fans can form the mighty Dreadwing!
In addition to these figures, we also have our first in-package look at Grimlock from the upcoming Authentics line, one that seems to be similar to the Cyber Battalion line.
00:30:46 We have our first “teaser” images of the box art of both new Voyager Megatron and Brawl molds. Most of the body have been blurred but we get an idea of the parts and design and a clear look at vehicle modes. As an extra bonus, we also have a look at the possible box art of Brawl.
And Blackout
Other news
00:40:11 Generation Toy brings us an impressive and detailed take on the last G1 Autobot Combiner we saw in season 2 of the original cartoon. We got renders and images of both the Combiner mode and all the individual Protectobots: Hot Spot, Streetwise, Blades, Groove and First Aid in both modes. We can be sure you will enjoy these highly detailed and stylized designs for this Autobot team.
00:46:52 Planet X have updated their Facebook page with a sizeable gallery of their upcoming project, Pluto! Finally in full color, Pluto is Planet X’s tackling of the beefy Fall of Cybertron Megatron design that was sadly overlooked in the game’s toy line. Featured from every angle, in a variety of poses, and in both modes, Pluto is shaping up to be a well-executed take on the game’s model.
00:50:44 Michael Bay has been posting images to Instagram, one of which seems to confirm that Paramount will be taking the Transformers cinematic franchise in a new direction.

Well 4.5 billion dollars later, 100s of millions of people saw the Transformers movies - I’d say it had great run. Any Studio would take this franchise series success. That said. Now it’s time to take this franchise in a totally new direction
