Releasing July 24, 2026 on major streaming platforms & physical formats including vinyl & cassette TFTM REFORMATTED EDITION soundtrack brings 10 re-recorded, reimagined tracks from the iconic film, where new production techniques meet the raw spirit of 1986 to create something that feels both reverent and revolutionary. This includes the return of Stan Bush—original voice that defined an era—now making his return 40 years later to bring fans brand-new recordings of “The Touch” and “Dare”! Every track has been rebuilt from the ground up: bigger, heavier, sharper, and more alive than ever. Guest singers are top level artists who not only pay tribute to the originals but also bring an unmeasurable amount of talent to these classic tracks.

Tying it all together is composer Vince Dicola as the perfect complement to this winning formula for the most honest and true collaboration for die-hard TRANSFORMERS fans!
To begin the album’s rollout, today, Hasbro has released the first Single and Music Video for Stan Bush’s re-recording of “The Touch!”

@Hasbro Announces #Transformers Exhibit coming to π§π· Brazil π§π·
Thanks to the PR team for passing along the following info
Hasbro is kicking off Las Vegas Licensing Expo by unveiling an exciting wave of all-new Global Experiences inspired by MONOPOLY, TRANSFORMERS, MY LITTLE PONY and PEPPA PIG:
TRANSFORMERS Attraction (LATAM): Hasbro and Dream Cars Automóveis e Eventos are bringing the TRANSFORMERS universe to life like never before in Brazil. The country’s first fixed, immersive attraction, is set to open in late 2026 in Gramado, Rio Grande do Sul.

Now, Brazilian audiences will have the opportunity to dive into this epic universe through a permanent attraction that combines immersive design, cutting-edge technology, and thematic environments.
“TRANSFORMERS has always been about epic worlds, bold storytelling, and bringing fans into the action,” said Matt Proulx, SVP of Global Experiences, Partnerships and Music at Hasbro. “What excites us about this collaboration with Dream Cars Automóveis e Eventos is the opportunity to bring that energy to life through a fixed attraction in Brazil, creating an immersive destination where fans and families can connect with the TRANSFORMERS universe in a whole new way.”

KRANIX 2026 #Transformers Studio Series Deluxe
SPARE ME THIS MOCKERY OF JUSTICE!
Oh man, I dig this toy! It’s like Missing Link (is for my brother who absolutely adores the line) but made for me. Modern engineering, transform (perfect-) complexity and pose-ability. Then, there’s all those fluorescent pinks and angular multi-layered head sculpt and don’t get me started on the vehicle! … old school! straight out of Marvel comics Universe profile page. Pure 80’s nostalgia! 10/10 for me! Absolutely checks all the boxes. My #TransformersTheMovie display shelf is a happier for this addition!
Fun fact, according to the TFwiki,
“In a very early draft of The Transformers: The Movie, Lithone was a planet of living rock creatures, and Kranix was named Granix (from “granite”, you get it?). Although this was amended for later drafts, one or two instances of this original spelling made it through the spell-check, into a much later version of the script, puzzling fans for over a decade.”

Just got these two off-the-wall items in. Didn't even know they existed. Ride-ons are often a forgotten corner of the toy market, but over time, they become some of the rarest and hardest-to-hunt-down items. Their large size, almost exclusively outdoor life, and tendency to be tossed away after a few years cement their fate.
Famous examples include the many Power Wheels of the 1980s (each being a crown jewel in their respective collector communities), the infamous He-Man Bouncy Battle Cat, or the Transformers Jazz pedal car. Collectors will pay hundreds if not thousands for these items as each that passes, fewer become available for sale on the markets. Each discovery can spread across communities like a wildfire.
I myself have had my hand hovering over the "Buy it Now" button more than once on a few of these gems, only to hold off because of financial responsibilities (that's not to say I haven't made some hilariously irresponsible purchases in the past). One of the best days in my collecting career was hanging out with my friend Bill as he obtained his own Bouncy Battle Cat.
I got both of these through the Kohl's website and was surprised at how many licensed shirts and other items they had. I had a bunch of Kohl's Rewards built up due to a major buyout of their clearance section and decided to treat myself. These were some of the higher cost items; the Go-Kart was $99, while the motorcycle was $52. They are made by "Best Ride On Cars", a company I know nothing about, but can see following the age-old tradition of making a generic design and then replacing the decals as needed.
These will just sit around in their boxes as larger items like this I buy to just have in the collection and feel for they are better left as-is to keep them in mint condition (or as mint as the boxes allow, as they are cheap and arrived slightly damaged). Are these for everyone? Absolutely not. But for die-hards like me, I think you should nab them up. They won't be around forever, and down the road, these will be rare, at least I think they will.

LIEGE MAXIMO 2026 Age of the Primes Leader Class #Transformers @hasbro
According to the Covenant of Primus, Liege Maximo is the true villain of the Primes. His manipulations and deceit ultimately caused the fallout of the Primes following the defeat of Unicron. Whether he is in fact evil or simply acting out of boredom and circumstance depends on which author/story you’re drawing from.
This toy form is based heavily on his legendary first appearance at the conclusion of G2 Marvel Transformers comics by Simon Furman…. Transformation is fun, bot is pose-able and solid and creepy as he should be. That alien ship mode is brilliant- like a lesson in how to make a ship look evil!
I continue to enjoy the creativity, artistry and resources that have been brought into these legendary Original 13 Primes toys.

Today we're going to cover a pretty niche topic within the world of Transformers, and more so the Beastformers (Battle Beasts) side of things. Our topic is the very obscure "Three Wise Ones" or "Godbeasts". These were shown in the "Hero Special 12: Laser Beasts" as well as a few other iterations throughout the Transformers history, but no one would blame you if you've never heard of them, their ties to the Beastformers, or even the Monsterbots!
What we are focusing on today are these three custom figures that use the godlike beast modes as detailed in the above Hero Special Mook (magazine/book). These toys imagine what we might have gotten had the original toyline continued into the next wave or so. They were early concepts created by "The Godbeast" aka Marty Hansen. An avid fan of Battle Beasts during the rise of the internet, he was also a talented artist and was known for his incredible customs in the collector community.
These figures were some of his best works and were very popular within the community. Today, they are incredibly rare and highly sought after; the original molds have long since broken, and they will never be made again. To many collectors, these might as well be official pieces as they are based on a concept that was put onto paper and then never made into reality.
The lion is a cold-cast hard resin, while the other two are a softer material that has some give. The weapons are made entirely from scratch and are incredibly fragile. As you can see, my staff for the beetle is broken and will need to be fixed. There are some minor flaws, like the arms not being exactly aligned, but the details in each beast far outweigh these minor issues. Each Godbeast is around 1.5 times the size of a regular Battle Beast (I've pictured the lion next to the shortest Beast, Hardtop tortoise). Each beast is transparent in nature and features two gems, one in their chest (representing their element, same as any beast) and one in their staff. These gems play heavily into their mythology.
Though I rarely talk about custom figures, sometimes they have a right to be put on a pedestal and have attention brought to them. These are near legendary in the world of Battle Beasts, and to have the chance to add a set to my private collection is a dream come true.
Until next time, I'll keep hunting down weird, fun, and off-the-wall items for you folks!

Note: for the first time, I've decided to use some editing tools (Gemini/Nano Banana 2) to edit/clean up these pictures. These are not AI-generated images; they are real photos that I took of my own items. They have been edited/cleaned up with the AI. I wanted a cleaner and nicer look and feel, and these perfectly capture what I want. This decision was made by me to create a better visual experience. If you have input on this, please feel free to message me on ToyRobot.

Hot off the heels of the announcement of BotCon's returning in 2021 under the new management of BC Productions (an all new company run by such BotCon veterans as Karl Hartman, Andrew Hall, Mike Tinnel, and more, created for the specific purpose of acquiring the rights to BotCon from Fun Publications) comes a few updates regarding this year's RoboCon, which has been carrying BotCon's torch in the meantime. Namely, RoboCon 2020 will be held on June 5-6 at the Galt House in Louisville, KY, the very same hotel that played host to the last official BotCon in 2016. Registration has also gone live, with two registration packages available this year. The standard registration package for this year is a remarkably affordable $25.00! The second option, meanwhile, is a special " BotCon 2021 Pre-Party Exclusive Pack" that features access to a special Friday night party celebrating the next year's return of BotCon, an exclusive BotCon convention T-shirt featuring a "Neo-Classic" BotCon logo, a special vintage BotCon logo themed lanyard, and best of all, a 144-page Ultimate BotCon Product Guide Volume 1 w/ Exclusive convention cover, limited to 300 pieces. That one is priced at $98.00 (more than previous RoboCons but far less than any Fun Pub BotCons ever were). ...

Now, the site has been relaunched with a new makeover and the announcement that BotCon, the once official Transformers convention, is coming back under the new management of BC Productions, for the Summer of 2021! This news comes formally from Karl Hartman, one of the original organizers of the con who helped in its creation back in 1994 and continued to help run it from 1996 to 2002.

On August 17, 2019, UK fan convention TFNation played host to a most momentous occasion in which Transformers Animated story editor Marty Isenberg presented a scripted performance of the original story treatment outline for what would have been the three-part season 4 premiere of Transformers Animated had it been greenlit for a fourth season. Titled "Trial of Megatron" (as opposed to The AllSpark Almanac II, The Complete AllSpark Almanac, and Issue #71 of the TCC Magazine titling it "The Trial of Megatron"), the outline for this three-parter was presented not as a live script reading done in the style of those performed at BotCons of years past, but was instead presented with pre-recorded dialogue acted by almost the entire Animated voice cast (only Tara Strong and Judd Nelson were absent, with their respective roles of Sari Sumdac and Rodimus Prime performed by other people) and set to all new original artwork created for the story by fan artists. ...

Mere days after the previous news of the sudden passing of voice actor Michael Lindsay comes the unfortunate news of voice actor Robert Axelrod having passed away yesterday, September 7, 2019, at the age of 70. This news comes to us from Facebook of Mobile Monicker Productions, who represented Axelrod for his many convention appearances. Axelrod is best known for having provided the voices of Lord Zedd, Finster, and other monsters on Power Rangers, as well as several English dub anime voice roles, such as Wizardmon, Vademon, Armadillomon, Ankylomon, and Shakkoumon (w/ Dave Mallow) on Digimon, and Rico on Robotech. He also voiced Marvel Comics character Microchip in the Punisher episodes of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, and appeared in live action on an episode of Family Matters where he played a Paul McCartney lookalike. For Transformers, he was the voice of Movor in the 2001 Transformers: Robots in Disguise cartoon. One of the Decepticon Commandos, Movor was the space shuttle member who could form an arm or leg for the combiner Ruination. He was also one of the very few Commandos to star in his own spotlight episode, "Attack from Outer Space", which had the misfortune of being one of the three episodes that was banned from ever airing on TV in the United States due to sensitivities from the September 11 attacks in 2001. Rest in peace, Mr. Axelrod. Your performances were a treasure to behold. ...

It is with deep sadness that we must report that, on August 31, 2019, voice actor Michael Lindsay passed away at the age of 56. This news comes to us from the Twitter accounts of Trevor Dylan, Rob Benoit, and Marissa Lenti. Best known for his work in anime dubbing, Lindsay provided the English dub voices for the likes of Joe Kido and Greymon in Digimon Adventure, Rick in DinoZaurs, Kankuro in Naruto, Kisuke Urahara in Bleach, ShinichirΕ Tamaki in Code Geass, and more. For Transformers, he was best known as the voices of Skid-Z ("skids") and Rollbar in the 2001 Transformers: Robots in Disguise cartoon. Skid-Z was an Autobot racer who had an unusually high competitive edge, always needing to win every race he could, so much that he would enter any race of any kind, including car racing, bicycle racing, or even foot racing. Rollbar, meanwhile, was the green jeep member of the Decepticon Commandos, able to form an arm or leg of the combiner Ruination, and had a thick southern drawl and an easygoing demeanor, always cracking wise whenever he felt like it. Rest in peace, Mr. Lindsay. You will be missed, dearly. ...

The year was 1999. For the Western World, it was the year of Beast Wars season 3, the year of Beast Machines season 1, the year of the 15th Anniversary of The Transformers. For Japan, however, it was the year of Beast Wars Neo! The second Japanese-original Beast Wars animated series, Beast Wars Neo sees a small group of Cybertrons (Maximals) led by Big Convoy go on a star trek to hunt for Angolmois Capsules containing an unholy energy source, which is also sought by the Destrons (Predacons) led by Magmatron. And now, twenty years later in 2019, anime fansubbing group Karyuudo Fansubs has at last announced their long-awaited release of all 35 episodes of Beast Wars Neo with English fan-subtitles!

After the brand unification between Hasbro and TakaraTomy kicked off with Power of the Primes and Studio Series (and will continue with Siege), Takara's Transformers: Legends line continues to persist with another forthcoming TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. This time, however, it is not a recent mold release, but a soon-to-be 20-year-old mold from 1999. Seeming to coincide with the Transformers Encore reissue of the cartoon-accurately-colored Big Convoy, the next LG-EX release will be a redeco of that figure in the form of Blue Big Convoy! Much like the Encore release of Unicron (Micron ShΕ«gΕ-tai Color), this is a recreation of what was once a super rare Lucky Draw figure from 1999. However, also like Unicron (Micron ShΕ«gΕ-tai Color), it is not a straight recreation, as this version will have less translucent plastic with two opaque arms instead of one solid and one clear. More recently, the old Lucky Draw figure was actually repurposed in comics made for e-HOBBY's Magna Convoy exclusive as the leader of a legendary group known as the Primus Vanguard. While it remains to be seen whether this Legends release of Blue Big Convoy will fictionally represent Big Convoy himself in a new form, the Primus Vanguard leader remains another distinct possibility for this toy's character identity. Legends LG-EX Blue Big Convoy will be released by TakaraTomy Mall in February 2019. ...

The Transformers: Encore line of reissues has been dabbling in some post-G1 figures as of late, beginning with God Fire Convoy from Car Robots and to be continuing with Returns Convoy for Beast Wars Returns (Beast Machines). Now, a third post-G1 Encore toy has been revealed and is the first one to truly be from a completely non-G1 continuity altogether. Its name is Unicron (Micron Aggregate Color). A redeco of the Armada Unicron mold, this is not the Chaos Bringer himself, but a green copy of him that was formed by a massive amount of Mini-Cons combining together as one, to fight against their evil creator in the final few episodes of the Transformers: Armada cartoon, hence the "Micron Aggregate Color" label ("Micron" being the Japanese term for "Mini-Con"). Previously, in 2004, a toy of this "Unicron of Light" had been released in limited quantities as a Lucky Draw figure over in Japan, but this Encore release will not only see a much wider release but will also sport a vastly different deco from the Lucky Draw, being almost completely green and turquoise instead of the Lucky Draw being half-teal/half-gray. Unicron (Micron Aggregate Color) is set for release in December 2018. Official images can be found below, courtesy of Autobase Aichi. ...
