Today Hasbro Pulse held its 1027 Premium event! Each brand represented did some quick reveals including Transformers! The opening of the event showed off a room celebrating the 100 year history of Hasbro along with soem fun G1, G2 and Beast Wars figures in the background before showing off reveals. Here's a rundown of the Transformers reveals with a gallery of screen captures below:
Commander Class Magmatron
- Magmatron is a new Commander Class figure, not a retool or reissue of the original.
- Magmatron features all three original forms: dinosaurs, robot mode and "Fuzor"/"Magmasaurus" mode.
- The designers worked to ensure that waist articulation was worked into the figure.
- Animation was referenced for the deco.
- Magmatron's box has a couple Easter Eggs in it including Navi and a horn (or tusk?) in a corner!
- It appears at least two of the beasts have Spark Crystals.
Voyager Class Silverbolt (Beast Wars)
- Modeled after the animated series.
- Feather weapons detach from wings and have 5mm pegs.
- Part of the second wave of Legacy United.
Stranger Things x Transformers Collaboration "Code Red"
- Officially licensed Volkswagon van.
- Based off the Surfer Boy pizza delivery truck from Stranger Things.
- Includes three weapons: flamethrower, Axe and mace weapon.
- Box is modeled after the Jalapeno Chicken pizza box from the show and includes details like a "grease stain" and pizza crust printed in the box.
