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:

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.

As you might have guessed, there’s little (read: probably nothing, if you’re reading a site like this) here that you haven’t heard about already, unless you avoid leaks like the plague. Still, we get some nice shots and turnarounds of the latest batch of characters who are ready to roll out, including Beast Machines Cheetor, Armorizer Shard, Cybertron Starscream, Cyberverse Chromia, Beast Wars Silverbolt, Generation One Sandstorm, Generation One Gears, and Origins Wheeljack, the latter of which will be available in short supply on Hasbro Pulse and otherwise exclusively at Target.com, though pre-orders are already sold out.

“Hi Transformer fans!

I hope you all have been enjoying the Studio Series 2024 wave 1 reveals over at MCM London with @bmacatron84!

Next up for our Gamer Edition line is the WFC Starscream.

The figure comes courtesy of the marvelous Tomo san over at Takara Tomy.

Starscream comes equipped with his Null Ray and Energon mace, which were his starting load out on his levels. We’ve heard you all loud and clear and are making sure that all the WFC weapons going forward will also have a standard 5mm post so they can be held traditionally as well as being swapped on the arm.

I happen to have the older DLX TT figure for comparison and wanted to make sure everyone could see how we worked from the Game CAD.

Obviously, we enlarged the jet canopy slightly as that’s where the robot head and nose cone get stored during conversion.

He’s a very fun figure to play around with and I hope you all enjoy him as well!

Last thing to note is that his collar pieces are consumer assembled, so they come in the accessory tissue pouch. Just bringing it up so hopefully there isn’t any confusion when you open the box!

Hope you all have a great weekend~
-Evan ”

A Toys R Us listing (yes, they still exist in Canada. Be jealous.) shows a 2-pack featuring a Voyager class Starscream figure paired with a Deluxe Bumblebee, as depicted in the upcoming Transformers: Reactivate video game from developer Splash Damage. But, aside from the fact we still know so very little about the upcoming title as it is, what makes this really interesting is that the branding on the package and website all shows Transformers: Rise, the game’s previous title in development.

What that means is that anything we see here may be subject to change upon the game — and these toys’ — release.

The description gives us some potential insight into how the story and action in the game may play out:

When the Quintessons attack New York City, an unlikely alliance must be forged to stop the alien threat. In Transformers: Rise, Autobots and Decepticons team up to stop the Quintesson menace before they take over the universe. This two pack includes an unlikely team-up: the scheming Decepticon air commander, Starscream, and the courageous Autobot scout, Bumblebee.

Autobots and Decepticons, fighting together, mass hysteria!

And according to the TFWiki entry for the game, the name of the occupying force is the “Legion,” potentially indicating a change to or from Quintessons.

The figures include a pair of Null Rays (natch), a pair of Ion Blasters, and have “premium metallic battle damage deco reflecting the character graphics in the video game.” Plus, the box they come in shows off some of the character models from said game.

As usual, Starscream turns into a jet, while Bumblebee flexes his T-cog a little, and now turns into a dune buggy.

Take a gander for yourself at the images we took from the listing (don’t rush, it’s listed as “Out of Stock”), mirrored here for posterity and historical archival purposes, if nothing else.

What do you think of these developments? Does it make you any more interested in finding out more about the game? Tell us in the “Transformers: Rise (console MMO) rumored” thread on our forums! (Hmm, we should probably look at renaming that…)

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.

Are you wilding over these releases like we are or has your wallet find it’s nemesis? tell us on our Transformers forum, our Discord Server, our twitter, or our Facebook group!

With the arrival of Void Rivals #3 in comic shops last week, a preview of its shared Energon Universe book-buddy, Transformers #1, was included. Check it out:

Mysteries abound at Skybound. Mysteries such as, “Who is the girl with Spike? Is it a new form of Carly? Mikaela? Someone else?” and “Waitasecond, is that Bumblebee laying in the Ark? He wasn’t featured in the roster preview!” Which just goes to show, you really can’t have anything Transformers without Bumblebee involved in some way. Guess he’s still making up for everything from between Generation 2 to the 2007 movie.

Anyway, as the last page says above, the first issue lands on October 4th, 2023. Will you be there? Or will you be waiting for the trade? Tell us about it in the “Energon Universe – next Transformers comics coming from Skybound” thread on our forums!

Beginning with a shout out to the War Dawn 2 pack and going over some design details about the choice of molds for both Dion and Ariel

Special mentions to the fact that on top of the box, features flying Decepticons: Megatron, Soundwave and Shockwave as seen on the episode hence why they’re looking up on the box art, along with the fact that Ariel features a detachable pony tail and her blaster is actually Elita One’s from her showcase episode, who fun fact, her name is actually derivative from latin for “Elected” so her name is to evoke Optimus Prime’s as “Elected One”, also discussing that there’s still a lot of things missing from that episode that they could still do, since the Robot Guardian was also done recently, they mentioned: “things that fly”, this set will be the 2023 Comic-con exclusive.

And moving to the Core-class first we had the Dinobots Swoop & Skarr.

Swoop himself needs no further introduction for The Veteran but as for new faces, straight from the IDW Monstrosity arc, here’s the “Beefy medic” Skarr, also acknowledging that Snarl is the next member to join and that KI Starscream will see a package refresh on this wave.

Moving unto the Deluxes first was Beachcomber, pacifist and geologist of the Autobots, complete with a green parrot referred to as “Paradise parrot key” on a 5mm port from the Golden Lagoon episode, uniquely features PVC tires to better roll on the ground and it might fit a Titanmaster, however they made it sound more like a space concern rather than a full fledged feature akin to that of the Power of the Primes version and while they touted him as a pacifist, he does come with his handheld machine gun that turns into the grill of the car on vehicle mode.

Following up with Devcon, being a heavy partial from SS86 Blurr turns into his ship mode from “The Gambler” episode, they talked about the intent to include an Slizardo figure with him, but other priorities of the main robot design kicked him off the design, but talked about potentially including him elsewhere in the future so not completely written off as of yet, just no promises, as for his Evo-Fusion gimmick is that his gun plugs unto the turbines which themselves are also 5mm compatible to accommodate blast effects.

Axelgrease is the latest inclussion of the Evolution Junkions, a Female Decepticon, surprisingly who took ques from fellow female Junkion: Nancy who may or may not be an evil sister, that’s your call, has an inverted colour-scheme from the other Junkions released so far, she is a partial from Scraphook but is different enough on her own, it was also mentioned that she features a lot of thruster parts with 5mm for your beloved blast effects to fit on.

Legacy Tarantulas will receive a package refresh on this wave too, which leads us to the Voyagers, starting with the formerly Amazon exclusive Dirge, this is a complete reissue from the ER version with no changes, screaming face and all and Nemesis Leo Prime, who this time around features actually painted eyes and more importantly, the gun included with the original toy in the signature black and teal deco for extra animation accuracy.

Up next we had an interesting reveal perfect to go with your Armada Starscreams and Hot shots, it’s none other than Armada Megatron, Leader-class style: covered on plethora of 5mm ports for “something that may come on the future” so hopefully that means a potential Leader-1 is on the horizon, also displayed was the feature to flip all of Megatron’s torso to place his tank cannon on the front, fold out cannons from the tank gun to further point and the hands flip to reveal 5mm pegs to also connect with the cannon.

Next for a heart warming video by Hasui-san himself going over the official reveal of Commander-class Armada Optimus, discussing the multiple design choices, height and poseability, all other items up to this point will go for pre-order today but Optimus will go on pre-order for April 18th other interesting details is that the arm cannons unplug and connect to the super mode gun as the Evo-Fusion gimmick, but let’s not lie to ourselves, the gimmick IS the super mode combination, and including a convertion sequence on the side of the box.

And as to be expected with a big stream is to conclude with a big reveal and who is there bigger than a Titan? as so, for the first female Titan ever and a Decepticon at that, here is the Decepticon Nemesis, now, this is a developing sample, so don’t let the Snapdragon colour scheme fool you, as this is going to change for the final look, the vehicle mode is that seen on the Pilot of the animated series: More than meets the eye, and speaking of the mini-series, it features deployable boarding ramps with the connectors featured on Siege Omega Supreme all of them having plugged 4 miniatures: Tetrajet, “earthbound seeker” so it can be any of your favourite three stooges, Thrust and Ramjet all in-scale and to make displaying and landing easier, while you can lay it on it’s thrusters like it’s taking off, the bottom fin splits to put it on the ground and as any ship should be, it’s well armed with articulated turrets, having a main console and a loading ramp at the back, the robot mode meanwhile, during convertion opens the chest to reveal the Decepticon insignia but the real insignia is the head, which much like the Last Autobot Ark has the Decepticon insignia for face, which also doubles as a blast shield for cover to the face, the shins remove and turn into cannons, fins split into tiny mini axes for her to wield, Pre-order is set for Early May, with no specific date at this time.

And to wrap it all up, BMac, Evan and Delaney from Marketing showed the through the spacebridge pipeline reveals that are to be expected soon, these are:

Core-class:

DotM Bumblebee from the Laserbeak mold that is out now.

Deluxe-class:

86 Brawn.

Gamer Edition – WFC Ciiffjumper from the DS version of the game.

Voyager:

Gamer Edition – WFC Megatron.

Rise of the beasts – Rhinnox.

Rise of the beasts – Buzzworthy Bumblebee Target-exclusive Optimus Prime.

Most of these items are available for pre-order right now, while Commander-class Armada Optimus Prime is ought to go live on April 18th and Titan-class The Nemesis will go up on Early May.
