Transformers Toy Rumours (must note a source)

Looks like at least one factory sample of Crasher has been stolen and flogged on Carousell. And that's the toy-version head for Mirage, not the head shown on the recently found renders.

Some of those images of what could be Crasher...

Here we go again with more photos of what could be MP Cliffjumper.

If it's official, then they've tweaked the MP Bumblebee v2 mold for the altmode shell to hold together more effectively, and maybe slight improvement to the feet.

With the numbers on it I think its a test cliffy

What does 'test' sample mean in this context? I'm unfamiliar with design or factory QC processes. Does it mean we're very likely to see this mass-produced soon etc.?

PVP has a review up on SS 86 Ironhide which went up on Sunday. It is being classed as a Voyager and the only accessory is the blaster.

Engineering wise and G1 accuracy wise, Ironhide looks great. But i am very happy with my Siege Ironhide so I wont be going for this one. Can't justify the price given he is shorter than the deluxe.

Pretty glad I skipped Siege.

Will be grabbing this + eventual Ratchet.

Not a toy rumour... but, a rumour about a new live action streaming tv show for Transformers?

Something that popped up a month ago that I was sitting on because I expected it to be announced at SDCC (where all the big movie and tv show announcements are made), is the possibility of there being a live action Transformers TV show coming to Paramount+ in the future.

It is information from an entertainment news leaker, so it definitely nothing more than a rumour, but apparently this leaker has been quite reliable in the past, so watch this space.

I'd rather they put the effort into a quality cartoon that's not targeted at kids*.

*By that I mean, kids should still be able to watch and enjoy it, however don't target it at them. Think, Dr. Who level family entertainment.

With each new mould it seems that all possible redecos are guaranteed... so when SS86 Perceptor was released, the black pre-Transformers redeco (later called Magnificus) was expected, and some leaked images look like it might indeed be coming.

Not to kick our Transformers fandom in the teeth, but at least most transformers items do get to EB/Zing. That G.I.Joe stuff doesn't seem to show up anywhere.

Your best chance for GI Joes is Amazon really. Or check Toymate and TK Maxx. Toymate has them on sale at the moment for $19. Got myself a couple of B.A.Ts and Alley Vipers from my Toymate the other day. TK Maxx has had some for $30 or red tagged at $22. There was Roadblock, Scarlet, Snake Eyes and Destro amongst them...
