File this under "news catch up". This past summer it was revealed that the Cyberverse series would be releasing an Ultra Class version of the Dinobot Sludge! I'm posting the product info and pics of this figure mostly for posterity here (and for those who may have missed the official news). Enjoy!
Yesterday Hasbro Pulse and Amazon unleashed a new release in its "Golden Disk" Collection: Jackpot with Sights! Who you may ask? Jackpot was a G1 Action Master released at the end of that era. While the figure did not transform, it was clear form his design that he once could transform into a car. He was partnered with Sights, a bird-bot who transformed into his weapon. Now Jackpot has returned in a transformable body (a redeco/retool of Studio Series Jazz) with a redeco of Pteraxadon as Sights!
Cyberverse launched in 2018 and three years later it looks like the line is intent on rolling forward with new releases, and that's a good thing for younger fans who are into the Transformers franchise. Hasbro is fairly low key about announcing any Cyberverse based product, so products tend to just trickle out online or suddenly appear on shelves with little to no notice.

As a follow up to their collectibles such as the Megatron helmet, Modern Icons has revealed its Soundwave helmet! Now fans can wear a helmet based on the popular Decepticon Communicator.

For those who were nervous the campaign would not fund, international orders have helped boost the numbers and as of this morning Victory Saber is funded! At the time of this writing there are now over 11,600 backers and hopefully more will come so we can reach the stretch goals! If you want to participate in this campaign, head over to HasLab now and throw your hat in the ring. Let's say GO!
In a surprise drop, Amazon and Hasbro Pulse have posted pre-orders for a two pack featuring the first chapter of the "Golden Disk Collection". This two pack features redecos and retools of the Huffer/Pipes sculpt from Kingdom as Road Ranger and Puffer! Road Ranger is based on the Go-Bot homage from the e-Hobby set released in 2004.
After its official reveal in June, there has not been a whole lot of news about the next live action Transformers film outside of some leaks from the sets in New York City. Today a small bit of news came out via the Instagram account of director Steven Caple Jr. Earlier he posted an Instagram story featuring a symbol that blends the Autobot and Maximal symbols into something unique. This type of combination has already been seen in Kingdom packaging, but this version
