Thanks to a pair of eBay auctions we have our first look at Treds, a rumored Selects figure. For those not familiar with the character of Treds, a brief history lesson. Gobots were a competitor of the Transformers line in the early 80s. Through mergers and acquisitions beyond that, Takara and Hasbro ended up with the rights to use the names of the Gobots characters, which is how we got the name Leader-1 as an Armada character, how Classics Mirage was redecoed into a very suspiciously Crasher-like color scheme and character, and why in 2003, Takara and Ehobby released a set of redecos/retools of some G1 minibots as Gobots characters Pathfinder (Cosmos mold), Bad Boy (Powerglide mold), Small Foot (Gears mold), Bug Bite (Bumblebee mold), Road Ranger (Huffer mold) and Treds (Warpath mold). We've already seen a modern release of Bugbite in Selects, Road Ranger in the WFC Golden Disk collection, and we're rumored to be getting a 3-pack of Small Foot, Pathfinder, and Treds in Selects this year (from Legacy Gears, Velocitron 500 Cosmos, and Kingdom Warpath, respectively).
History lesson over, here are the pictures, from an ebay listing by sellers transmimi and ytsetron, respectively.
What do you think, Seibertronians? Excited to see some more obscure characters with modern updates? Sound off in the forums below!
While a cinematic trailer was released for the Transformers Reactivate game, which seems to be a live service game ala Warframe, we haven't had more info on it since. Well, the question was asked to a Hasbro Australia representative at a Transformers 40th Anniversary Event, in Australia, and this is what they said:
"it is highly anticipated and I know that fans are waiting for it to come out and be released. Hopefully in 2025, we will have more to show"
So we should expect nothing for the rest of the year. But the game is still coming out.
Here is the full video where the quote comes from:
While we had a pretty good idea of what a dying Ratchet would look like, we now have a look at dying Brawn. We also see how they will be packaged. While this is still a Target exclusive, Target is no longer using the Buzzworthy packaging and just releasing figures within the packaging linked to their own lines.
For those looking forward to Swoop, Prime vs Prime put up a review of the toy this past week and you can see it below.
There is a lot of news to get through, all dealing with the Legacy line. There is a video review of Cybertron Hot Shot, which you can see below.
We also have new in hand images of Vector Prime from Notrab. Please note that as with previous images from this source, the images do have certain settings set to make the colours and contrast more prominent.
Finally, here is an image of Ferak in his packaging. This figure will be released exclusively at Walmart.

It seems one should never bet against Optimus Prime. While the Transformers community had a good laugh at the $80 1/64 scale Hotwheels collector toy, it seems there were more than enough people out there willing to spend that amount on that small fully die cast Optimus Prime. The transforming G1 styled Hotwheels Optimus Prime sold out in 27 minutes on the Mattel Creations site.
This is encouraging for Mattel as it means their effort and investment in the license was far from in vain. It reveals that there is a market out there for collector items like this and thus they may make more. If they do make more, then this Optimus Prime may rise in value as being the first in an ongoing collection. Of course time will tell if that is the case, but we wanted to let you know of this development in a collaboration that none of us imagined would happen.
Drug smuggling is all about creativity and it looks like Transformers statues were someone's bright idea this time.
700 pounds of ketamine were confiscated by Thailand authorities. These drugs were found in what is said to be lifesize Transformer robot statues. It is unclear if those are the same statues shown in the image, since those are not lifesize, nor could they hold this much product.
We thank John Bailey for letting us know of this cute cameo. In this promo video for the movie IF, we see various animated characters audition to be Imaginary Friends, and Optimus Prime (sporting his ROTB look) is one of them. John Krasinski gets really excited and even makes the transforming sound.
The leader class boxset for the Legacy Star Raiders wave, which is exclusive to Walmart, has yet to be revealed by Hasbro but we do have a video review of it since it is ready for distribution.
The set includes:
- Thundertron, in a deco and headsculpt closer to the original toy
- Calcitron, a redeco of Magnerous to look like blue calcite rock, with a new head
- Nightstrike, a redeco of Siege Skar inspired by the RID2015 character of the same name
These will all be bundled together in a multipack acting as the leader class slot in the line.
From e-bay, we have in hand images of the upcoming deluxe Legacy Lockdown. He will be in Walmart's exclusive Star Raiders subline, which is part of Legacy. While he is much shorter than previous Lockdown toys, the fact that he is based on a Junkion mold means you can make him taller using other Junkion parts, which is somewhat thematic with the character, as designer Mark Maher had said. The images below compare this toy to the ROTF Lockdown toy, which is the reference for the new toy's head.
