Earlier today Hasbro updated their Facebook Page with an announcement about a "Fan First Friday" coming this week! However, the most interesting part of the post is found in their summary text which includes the phrase "Let's say GO!". This phrase was one of the catch phrases used by Star Saber in the Transformers Victory series!
Bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep nini bong!
Welcome to week 6 and we’re finally at the end of the saga!
There will be no leaderboard event in this saga, and instead, we’ll be returning to our chance event. There will be 150 tiers in this event, which means more chance crystals are to be obtained!
We’ve also included the new saga into the newsletter, and we’re still adjusting numbers thanks to your feedback.
While the cartoon series ended about a year ago, the Cybervese toy line continues! Thanks to listings on Amazon, we now have photos of the upcoming Ultimate Class Hot Rod and Volcanicus figures. Hot Rod features the character with "Energon Armor" and staff weapon. Volcanicus meanwhile is a Cyberverse version of the Generations Volcanicus character. While the figure is not a Combiner, it looks like it is actually made up of several Dinobots and has an alt-mode!
Over the past few months Hasbro Pulse has been carrying limited quantities of store exclusives such as Walmart's Netflix figures. Their most recent "shared" exclusive is Walgreens exclusive Red Alert! There was no previous official announcement for this figure but leaks have indicated this would be coming for months now.
Hasbro Pulse held a Fan First Friday event today. During this live stream, three new Studio Series 1986 figures were revealed: Perceptor, Starscream and Sweep! Perceptor is an all new figure while Starscream is a redeco of the Earthrise Starscream figure with "Coronation" gear including a cape and throne (bumping him up to Leader Class). Sweep is of course, a redeco of Scourge. You can watch the stream and check out official product descriptions and images below. I have also linked to the BigBadToyStore and Entertainment Earth pages for those items.

The folks at ThreeZero have revealed a new addition to their high end collectible action figure line. This time out the figure is a reimagining of Bumblebee! The non-transforming figure appears well articulated and detailed, featuring some elements of his classic Volkswagon alt-mode with G1 cartoon influences. In some ways this figure looks like a more "mature" version of the Autobot who has seen some serious battle in his time! Check out the preview image below. BWTF will post more news as it becomes available.

Welcome to week 5 of the saga and we’re just one week away from the finale!
This week, we’ve changed our plans for this weekend's Individual Totaliser. To celebrate the upcoming release of Beatstar, you’ll instead be teaming up with your Alliance for another super special weekend!
He may be grumpy but Huffer is also one of the smartest and powerful Autobots in Optimus Prime's crew! Check out my review and gallery of Kingdom Huffer!
