SDCC Transformers exclusives official images and info

[KELPIE]

So that Blaster v Soundwave set will have modern art outside of SDCC

[griffin]

Yep... official images here. The cards appear to have all of the same specs and abilities, but the art on the cards and box is completely different.
That sucks, and it was a lie when it was said that the SDCC set would be released elsewhere... as this isn't the same.

The Transformers related panels at SDCC have been revealed - three of them, on Thursday July 18th.

ludes the following Transformers-related panels:

IDW and Hasbro: Transformers: A Bold New Universe
Thursday, July 18 • 10:00am – 11:00am Room 29AB
Celebrating 35 years of everyone’s favorite Robots in Disguise, IDW Publishing and Hasbro are proud to present a bold new universe with the launch of multiple new Transformers titles. Artist Livio Ramondelli (Transformers: Galaxies, Optimus Prime), writer Tyler Bleszinski (Transformers: Galaxies, Vox Media), Hasbro’s Michael Kelly (VP, Global Publishing), Erik Burnham (Transformers/Ghostbusters), and a few surprise panelists will talk about what’s new in Transformers comics, announce upcoming projects, and talk about how to make the next 35 years of Transformers great. Moderated by IDW Transformers editor David Mariotte.


Transformers Cyberverse: Season 2 Sneak Peek
Thursday, July 18 • 11:00am – 12:00pm Room 29AB
What is The Power of The Spark ? Get a behind-the-scenes look into what’s next for Cartoon Network and Hasbro Studios’ Transformers Cyberverse. Jack Conway moderates the discussion with Cyberverse story editor Randolph Heard, writers Gavin Hignight, Zac Atkinson, Dan Salgarolo, and Mae Catt, Hasbro Studios’ Mikiel Houser, a TBD member of the Transformers Brand team and the voice of Bumblebee, Jeremy Levy. The team will talk new characters, new stories, and new toys and will be sharing an exclusive clip from season 2, as well as opening up the mic for an audience Q&A.


Hasbro Transformers
Thursday, July 18 • 2:00pm – 3:00pm Room 23ABC
Celebrate 35 years of Transformers with a nod to the past, look at the present, and reveals of what the franchise has in store for the future. Since 1984 the brand has showcased the power of belief and wonder and the idea that there is always more than you expect! You will be able to travel behind the scenes of the new Cyberverse Chapter 2: Power of the Spark with sneak peeks of new characters never before encountered on Cybertron. You will also be the first to hear about new Transformers Generations toys that have yet to hit store shelves, straight from the design and marketing teams at Hasbro. Exciting new Transformers initiatives from trusted partners will be shared, as well as the induction of the 2019 Transformers Hall of Fame members. Be prepared for huge surprises and reveals seen first here! Panelists are Ben Montano, Sonal Majmudar, John Frazier, Sean Carmine Isabella, Mikiel Houser, and Ashley Creedon.

There should also be the usual (invited America) fansite pre-convention reveal of new Transformers, either the night before SDCC starts, or the first morning as a breakfast.

With Hasbro releasing the Spinister wave the other week, the exclusives and these panels, SDCC has become less of a "thing" for Transformer fans.

It will be interesting to see what (if any) new teases are shown.

[KELPIE]

There is going to be an Omnibots booster pack at SDCC, theoretically at Hasbro Pulse as well. I'm going to need to get them somehow.






And my personal favourite:



Obligatory "New Toys Please" comment.

Also, PCS has revealed a new print that will be on sale at SDCC and via their Facebook collectors group during SDCC.

This print is a tease as to what their Dev vs Dinos Diorama will look like.
