Transformer Tuesday - 1/22/13

It’s that time again, folks! Time for us to lift the lid on all the tasty Transformer news that you can handle in our weekly edition of Transformer Tuesday! Ready? Well then, transform and roll out!

Transformers Contruct-Bots:

Yesterday afternoon, Hasbro tipped it’s Toy Fair hand with a well timed preview of a new line of construction toys coming out this fall called Contruct-Bots. Taking a cue from Bionicle and other building figure sets, these figures will transform from robot to vehicle using exchangeable pieces and ball joints. There’s no word on whether or not this will be replacing Kre-o or not, but I would guess that it is. Check out a few pics below:

Shockwave confirmed for Transformers Prime? Indeed!:

Following news of Shockwave being listed in Takara’s Arms Micron line, Hasbro has listed him in wave 2 of the Beast Hunters line, included in a case with wavemates from wave 1 Optimus Prime and Predaking. No pictures yet, but Toy Fair is coming…..

New Beast Hunters figures get official pictures:

First we saw some blurry pics, then in package shots, and thanks to Hasbro’s official Transformers page over on Facebook, we now know some upcoming figures past the first wave of Beast Hunters deluxes. Check out the shots below to see deluxe Starscream, Bulkhead, and Smokescreen, along with Cyberverse Commander Trailcutter, who looks to be an extensive remold of Cyberverse Commander Ironhide.
