Ahead of tomorrow's Hasbro Pulse live stream, Hasbro has provided BWTF with official information and images for the upcoming Rise of the Beasts Studio Series Leader Class Scourge action figure!  Check out the official product info and pics below:

In a surprise reveal (of sorts), BWTF sponsor BigBadToyStore has posted listings for Legacy Evolution Voyager Class Metalhawk and Twincast!  No images are available at this time, but both appear to be due for release in February according to the listings.  Use the links below to preorder yours and support BWTF!

Thanks to retail site Momo we now have our first look at Authentics Alpha Class Starscream.  This is a new figure which appears to be heavily based on Starscream's "Evergreen" design featuring classic Starscream details with a modernized touch.  The Alpha Class figures are the larger Authentics, with a height around the size of a modern day Voyager Class figure.

Amazon Australia has once again accidentally released an early look at a Rise of the Beasts action figure.  Overnight they put up (then took down) a listing for Voyager Class Rise of the Beasts Cheetor.  It is possible the figure could be revealed soon by Hasbro the same way Airazor was.  For now, enjoy the pics taken from Amazon Australia in the gallery below!

It may seem odd to post a news byte about photos from a mall in the Philippines, but let's be real, in the United States (and some other places) toy collectors have largely had their collecting activities relegated to online sources or toy sections of stores like Target or Walmart.  The days of going to Toys 'R' Us (in its previous incarnation) and seeing dozens (if not hundreds) of Transformers toys on pegs and shelves is over and not coming back any time soon.

After a few leaks online over the past couple months, Hasbro has finally revealed Deluxe Class Studio Series Airazor from the upcoming Rise of the Beasts live action film!  Even better, the figure is now up for preorder via BigBadToyStore and Entertainment Earth (using these links helps support BWTF).  Check

Hasbro Pulse has posted a listing for the Vintage Beast Wars release of Iguanus!  Like previous Vintage Beast Wars releases, this is a reissue (or "re-creation" as the description states) of the original figure from 1996 featuring a spring loaded transformation.  The figure is in stock at Pulse now and will run you $24.99 USD.  Check out the official information and pics of the figure below:
