Shockwave – The Allspark https://www.allspark.com Transformers News Wed, 25 Sep 2024 05:54:06 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2 https://i0.wp.com/www.allspark.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/asicon-1.jpg?fit=32%2C32&ssl=1 Shockwave – The Allspark https://www.allspark.com 32 32 64055566 GameSpark News: Minecraft Transformers DLC https://www.allspark.com/gamespark-news-minecraft-transformers-dlc/ Wed, 25 Sep 2024 05:54:06 +0000 https://www.allspark.com/?p=12409 For decades, Transformers have had a thing for packing energy into cubes. Now, see what happens when they become the cubes!

New downloadable content for the worldwide phenomenon of a video game known as Minecraft has dropped, this time themed around our favorite robots in disguise. Now, the Autoblocks can wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticubes.

Okay, I made those names up. Anyway, see how it looks for yourself:


The description from the official Minecraft website says the following about the pack:

Autobots, get ready to roll out! The Transformers DLC by Syclone Studios and Hasbro has swerved into Minecraft with a story-driven adventure that will take you on an adrenaline-fueled ride between Earth and Cybertron. Your mission? Only the small task of saving humanity! Claim your free Character Creator item: the Transformers Hoodie from the Dressing Room, then strap in and let’s defeat some Decepticons.

And from the Minecraft Marketplace, where you can purchase the DLC pack:

There is more than meets the eye in this epic Transformers Adventure Map! Play as fan-favorite Autobots like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee as you work to stop familiar foes like Megatron and Starscream. Take your battles to the next level with a variety of blocky blasters and hop into co-op multiplayer to take on the fight for freedom with friends. Autobots, roll out!

Want to see more? Then here are some screenshots for you:


You have to admit, the original, blockier G1 designs translate pretty nicely into the Minecraft style. But you might be thinking to yourself, “Why does this look so familiar?”

Well, that would be because the game seems to take more than a few cues from a past release, Transformers: Devastation. This is most evident in the use of the Decepticon Ground Soldiers as cannon fodder.

Also worth noting that this was probably easily done because Microsoft, owners of the Xbox brand, recently acquired Activision Blizzard, the publisher of Transformers: Devastation. That means they likely had easy access to the assets and resources from that game, even though the development was handled by PlatinumGames.

Still, it makes you wonder… Did they pull out those old assets just for this? Or is there more to this than meets the okay, no, I’m sorry, I can’t do it. Too easy. I have standards! …apparently.

Anyway, if you’ve already got Minecraft and want to roll out, then you can get it from the Minecraft Marketplace for $8.99 USD (or the rough equivalent in your currency), or the universal Minecraft price of 1,510 Minecoins.

Hasbro @ WonderCon reveal: Studio Series 86 Dinobot Swoop! https://www.allspark.com/hasbro-wondercon-reveal-studio-series-86-dinobot-swoop/ Sun, 31 Mar 2024 16:49:54 +0000 https://www.allspark.com/?p=11371 The final original Dinobot finally soars into view as Hasbro reveals Studio Series 86 Dinobot Swoop at WonderCon. Somehow managing to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge all the usual leak risks, Swoop is finally shown in the plastic at the Transformers display. With thanks to Ben Yee and ToyShiz for this glimpse at the WonderCon display, let’s get a closer look at the divebombing Dinobot.

It’s an all-Studio Series set on display, as Swoop is accompanied by Gamer Edition FOC Sideswipe and Studio Series Sunstreaker (concept) and Shockwave, both from the Bumblebee solo film.

So, is this set of reveals is brought to you by the letter S? Superb. Let us know what you think of this long-anticipated soaring saurian on the Allspark Facebook page, on our partnered Discord at discord.gg/allspark, and on the Allspark Forums !

Multiple Takara Transformers Drops https://www.allspark.com/multiple-takara-transformers-drops/ Fri, 13 Oct 2023 17:20:32 +0000 https://www.allspark.com/?p=9887 This frankly frenetic fan friday does not stop, as the previously discussed Takara figures of Masterpiece Rhinox, Dramatic Capture Series The Decepticon Nemesis Bridge Set & BWVS-08 Ghost Starscream vs. Haunted Waspinator 2-Pack.

For those not in the know the Transformers Dramatic Capture Series The Decepticon Nemesis Bridge Set – Hasbro Pulse

Is a 3 pack consisting of the Netflix Soundwave & Laserbeak mold, Eathrise Megatron and Siege Shockwave (minus the armour) all on animation accurate decos and without a battle damage scratch on sight along with the SS86 Starscream throne for the leader of the Deccepticons to sit upon perfect to go with your Titan-class Nemesis figure, part of the new “Dramatic capture” series which, seemingly, might replace the Eternal Showdown within the Premium Finish line.

Speaking of Starscream the Transformers BWVS-08 Ghost Starscream vs. Haunted Waspinator 2-Pack – – Hasbro Pulse corresponds to the Beast Wars episode “Possesion” in which Starscream’s ghost takes possesion of Waspinator’s body hence why Waspinator has Decepticon simbols on his head.

Another notable thing is that Starscream, in being a ghost, is mostly composed out of clear plastic, with the SS86 openning hands and the now infamous ER Skywarp screaming head.

And on the subjects of Beasties everyone’s favourite Maximal scientist Transformers Masterpiece MP-59 Rhinox – Presale – Hasbro Pulse is the latest addition to the Masterpiece line to accompany Optimus, Dinobot, Tigatron & Cheetor to fight the evil Predacons on your shelf.

Full with his gatling guns of doom, a Airazor’s floating spark and other accessories sure to make all beast warriors pleased with the results.
