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.
The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast is back, with the return of prodigal host ScottyP. He is joined by the usual cast of no-gooders, Mr. Starscream, Aarnhide19, Kuhlio and Megatronus - listen as the crew discusses the latest news, toys, and more. Plus, hardcore Transformers fan reactions to Hasbro's latest livestream reveals! Ok, that part's clickbait. It's really just the regular speculative talk that leads nowhere, especially since many of the upcoming toys are repaints.
Episode #350 “Oops! All Optimus” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

TF One is on our minds - while we mull the movie trailer over, TF One product reveals abound, including some revived toys from product-lines past.
Shizuoka Hobby Show 2024 featured some surprises from Adamas Machina and their AMT line, including a certain Lost Light Rodimus that has our fearless host a-tizzy.

There is currently a rumour within the community based on insider information, detailing that a new animated Transformers show is currently in development. Very little info has been given but the rumour would entail that Earthspark would end after season 2. We do not know if this was always intentional or not, since it could be that the new show is more in line with the TF One film, with Earthspark existing as a show to providing content for the brand before a new era. The initial rumour also gave ratings as a possible reason, which of course can always be the case. As of now, the show ending after season two, or being replaced/cancelled is still a rumour. Our knowledge that a new show is being worked on is coming from someone who is currently working on said show.
We will keep you up to date on further developments. For now, Earthspark still has a whole season coming up for everyone to enjoy, starting June 7th.
Paramount released a trailer for Season 2 of Transformers Earthspark. In it, we can see some of the toys that were previously revealed, like Hashtag's new alt mode being a pickup truck.
We also have a synopsis of each episode, which also explains why Hashtag changed alt mode.
Episode 1:
One year after Mandroid's defeat and the Emberstone's shattering, the Maltos go on a search for the shards. When a Decepticon creates a new foe from a broken shard, the Maltos realize life in Witwicky is about to be chaotic.
Episode 2:
While searching for Emberstone shards, Mo and Thrash stumble upon ancient ruins where a Quintesson Executioner lay in stasis. The duo try to care for the creature, after it follows them home but they fail to realize it has a plan of its own.
Episode 3:
Hashtag helps the Autobots get rid of all the old GHOST stuff around base, which has her feeling like her GHOST van alt-mode is obsolete too. Meanwhile, Shockwave needs to acquire a GHOST hard drive that holds a key to Starscream's master plan.
Episode 4:
Robby, Mo, Twitch, and Thrash attend a carnival where Robby develops a crush on a new student, while Twitch, Thrash, and Mo encounter trouble with the carnival's Fairmaster. As the heroes battle Fairmaestro, they unlock a new power: cyber-syncing.
Episode 5:
Jawbreaker wants to cyber-sync, but he's left out. Walking home, he saves Aftermath from a woodland monster. The two spend the day together and accidentally sync into one awkward bot.
Episode 7:
Twitch and Spitfire accidentally swap bodies; it's hard for both to avoid getting caught behind enemy lines; the Decepticons plan to attack Twitch's friends and allies.
Episode 8:
Optimus lands a prestigious photoshoot, so Robby and Hashtag take his battle worn trailer to get detailed. Unfortunately, the Decepticons steal it from them, leading the kids to race the clock to get it back in one piece.
Episode 9/10:
Mo and Hashtag find a giant secret beneath Witwicky, and Starscream plans to use it for evil. To do so, Starscream needs to rebuild the shattered Emberstone. Robby rallies his family and the Autobots to stop him, and end the chaos once and for all.
You probabably noticed that yesterday's reveals did not seem numerous enough to fill a whole wave of Studio Series toys. Well that's because the wave will be made up mostly of repacks, and we now know their contents thanks to listings on Entertainment Earth. You'll notice that 86 Bumblebee and TF One Prime are not there and that's because they are in their own specific case that retailers can order all year round.

Images of Transformers Studio Series leader class Springer are being shared online, coming from an e-bay listing. They show a comparison between this new Springer and the voyager mold it's based on (specifically the Amazon exclusive toy based redeco). We can now see how much retooling or new tooling is involved, such as the head, chest, ect. We also see that the new one has articulated hands and comes with more accessories. You'll let us know if it's worth it to get this new one or not.
