Transformers Fans First Friday coming to Hasbro Pulse

Cool! Hoping for some Studio Series info.

Hoping we see Bee and Elita from the WFC line

- Bee
- Gijoe Crossover
- Maverick
- Cyclonus
- Studio 86

I'm hoping we see proper reveals of the Cyclonus, Thrust and Soundwave we saw a couple of weeks ago, along with Deluxe Bumblebee and the Prowl and Ironhide twin pack we heard about a while back.

Hasbro Facebook post says six reveals for Transformers this Fans First Friday.

For clarity's sake, this isn't referring to any TF/Joe crossover set, just that both properties will be streaming reveals that day.

Also, the official Transformers Facebook just posted that there will be specifically six new TF reveals.

I would also like to precise to fans that to hasbro a reveal is anything that has not been officially revealed yet through one of their reveal channels (like twitter, IGN, or conventions). So That would include Cyberverse Ultra Thunderhowl who can currently be found in stores as well as the Top Gun TF, Hubcap, Thrust and Cyberverse Warrior Energon Axe Attack Optimus Prime.

Makes Sense. Considering you have Earthrise, SS, Cyberverse, MP, Selects, any possible convention reveals etc... and 6 reveals total, it could be only one or two per line. Though Cyberverse is near its end I cant imagine (other than the aforementioned Thunderhowl) too much more coming from that.

Keep in mind that Hasbro does these every Friday (or nearly so), they even did a special Monday one yesterday for Star Wars so expect them to do several of these between now and when SDCC would have taken place in late July.

True, but not every one is focused on Transformers as they have several brands to promote. It would be more likely to have approximately one TF focused one per month, than anything else.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to imply that they're going to do four more of these for Transformers next month, just that this probably isn't the only one they have planned. What they should really do is take a cue from the video game industry and livestream a full on Transformers brand panel to reveal their future plans like they would have done if SDCC hadn't been canceled.

SDCC is continuing in that several panels will be live streamed that weekend as they would have been presented on site. We can only hope Hasbro may try to do one in addition to the fan Fridays instead of using FF's in place of any presence they may have had at SDCC.

Hope they aren't just showing the transformers R.E.D figures on IGN (6 inch non transforming, action master/scf type things). Though I'll be interested in those whose alt modes previously have been done less than desirable (siege autobot cars etc).

...I've had a thought, because the Facebook post said 6 reveals but never specified figure reveals: what if one of the reveals is this year's fan poll? This is around when we'd get that, right?

(I would much rather have actual figure reveals, I'm merely posing the idea)

You mean Runamuck?

I think he meant possibly a reveal, of a new fan poll for this year, not the winner of last years that is supposedly being released this year, and has already been revealed, and yes is available for pre-order. (although I could be mistaken).

I would hope it was 6 actual TF toys, not concepts, ideas, gimmicks etc.... Besides while the timing does seem coincidental, I don't think we need another fan poll right now. Because I dont have FB, I've never actually been able to vote, but the only one that seemed legit was the Titan one where Trypticon one, but that may just be me.

I'm expecting most reveals to be of things already leaked/mentionned. That said I do want to see Exhaust' deco. Not expecting anything new mind you.

Yeah, that was what I meant, sorry if that wasn't clear. I was referring to the fan poll for 2020 that would determine a 2021 figure. I don't know if that's actually likely to happen, nor do I really want it to be one of the reveals, but the timing lined up and the thought came to mind.

At this point I'm mostly expecting to get confirmation of what some figures we know are coming actually look like, yeah, and Exhaust is the highest on that list. Although if that Selects Centurion droid is real, I certainly wouldn't mind more surprises.

Watching now, some skippables so far

More Walmart exclusives

Actually I would say the Power of the Primes fan poll was the most legit. No way in hell Warden wanted Optimus Primal to win.

yep, fortunately the g1 blaster reissue that everyones probably got five of by now. Unfortunately RED is going to be walmart exclusive when its going to span lots of TF universes

I can't seem to get on it.

Transformers / Back to the Future
Centurion w/ accessories including Roller
Tigertracks

Even better. Thanks!

Transformers Collaborative X Back to the Future (no reveals)
Hasbro Pulse exclusive Centurion Drone Weapon Pack
Amazon exclusive Alternate Universe Optimus Prime
Selects Tigertrack
Selects Rotorstorm
Walmart exclusive Vintage G1 Blaster
Hasbro Pulse exclusive Blaster T-shirt
Walmart exclusive Transformers R.E.D. line (G1, Prime, Beast Wars, etc.) - Optimus Prime, Megatron, Soundwave
New reveal coming this year of a once-Japanese-original thing a la the Dino Cassettes
Autobot Clones are coming

Below is the video to the Fan First Friday Transformers event but you can also see the images and descriptions of what was revealed below. None of these are for wide brick and mortar retail.



We saw the G1 reissue of Blaster which we already knew was coming due to the Fan Vote. This will be a Walmart exclusive as with all G1 reissues. They also showed a Blaster shirt, exclusive to Hasbro Pulse.

There will be a weapons pack and Centurione Drone set, meaning that the image we saw earilier is indeed of a toy coming out. We also have an image of the weapons that drone comes with. It includes Roller, Megatron in Blaster mode along with a bunch of other neat things. This will be exclusive to Hasbro Pulse.

There is also:

Amazon exclusive Alternate Universe Optimus Prime
Selects Tigertrack
Selects Rotorstorm
Walmart exclusive Transformers R.E.D. line (G1, Prime, Beast Wars, etc.) - Optimus Prime, Megatron, Soundwave

Two other pieces of news were confirmed. Firstly, we will be getting an Autobot Clone two-pack and, secondly, the Transformers RED series will include characters from all different eras. So that Arcee listing will most probably be of the character from the Prime show.

Pics continued

So, Centurion is a must get (and I have to get two of em for my son's Earthrise Prime). Tigertrack is cool, but probably a skip.

Centurion and the weapon pack is a Must!

Tiger tracks easy pass, still using the siege mold with miscolored panels in car mode and it can now look like who ever the yellow square Mr man was in bot mode.

Rotorstorm I'm conflicted on, really don't want different characters just to be repaints of already existing bots but it's G2 so I'm probably getting it.

Always good news when an exclusive g1 reissue is something I already have and even better news that they plan to do more Japanese g1 reissues (fingers crossed for star sabre - it's not as though wfc needs a star sabre with the mp anyways).

youMissed these

What are you, a weapon kit?

Fingers crossed for hubcap coming with a weapon pack too. Might have been a lot of stuff already seen but some good stuff non the less.

Really excited bout the weapon kit - really cool way of adding stuff that was missing from certain figures - sure they're keeping tabs on the popularity of 3rd party accessories and upgrades.

I mean on one hand it'd have been nice for some of these had been included in what have been expensive figures (e.g leader siege prime...) but hey guess we're suckers

Love the weapon pack, a bit miffed they missed the chance to ad a bunch of blast effects with it and it would have been nice to be done separately from the drone. I'm sure there are people who would like to have multiple drones, but I guess they could sell the extra weapons pack on ebay,

So this R.E.D series seem like the perfect chance to give us a more Cartoon Accurate G1 Arcee and it looks like they're going for the Prime version.

I wonder if Lazerbeak in Soudwave will transform or just be the worlds worst frisbee

Oh, wow I guess they did have stuff left to reveal! The weapon kit just pushed the Centurion drone to a buy for me, plus Tigertracks, and Rotorstorm look great! And the only thing that slightly worries me now is that Beast Wars is only going to be celebrated by the RED line, meaning they won't transform

Where do I acquire a version of TFTM with the cut part of DiCola's score inserted like in the clip used here? This is very important to me.

Should have been renamed U.S. Fans First given there are no Walmarts overseas and Hasbro Pulse doesn't ship internationally. A massive disappointment, also they need to get their eyes checked regarding Rotorstorm's head

That weapons pack is really disappointing to me, in the sense that a lot of it should've been included with Prime for his leader price. And hell, would it have really affected the cost of Soundwave or Megatron to include the cubes?

no no, we'll be getting another cheetor. Unless the data system walmart adheres to is a lie. I think I should make a list of all anticipated figures that have yet to be revealed. Lots of people are asking similar questions.

Unless the cubes got a lil 5mm stub on the bottom they are kinda pointless. I got the Netflix Spoiler pack and the 3 cubes that came with it just sit by my monitor. They can't really be held by any of the figures.

I'll take the drone and weapon pack, mainly to support the idea of weapon packs being a thing, always good to have choice.

I'm kind of surprised the Pulse exclusives didn't have pre-orders go up right away (maybe they are waiting until after the GI Joe panel is done?)...Anyway....Of the bunch the only one I'll probably be getting is the Drone/weapons pack. The rest were nice, but not in my scope for collecting. I would have just got the drone by itself as I enjoy the weaponizers, but the extra pack is just kind of a cooncidental benefit. It will be nice for my Earthrise Prime to be "complete". Not sure if the Megatron accessories are for a specific version, or just a "whatever you feel like" scenario.

Were there any prices mentioned by chance?

Rotorstorm looks neat. Kinda odd that they don't give him new head tho, considering they manage to do that on a lot of other figures from selects line.

I'm surprised they haven't revealed more...and also disappointed that Rotorstorm lacks a new head. I guess a pretooled head is something which is mostly gone now.

I understand the complaints that a lot of these new accessories should have been included with their figures from the start, but you have to remember that the design team is at the mercy of a finite budget. If corporate says no, they don't get much of a say. Hasbro even has someone whose whole job is to decide where to cut costs out of initial plans. I see this accessory pack as a love letter from the designers for everything that was left on the cutting room floor. If anything, this gives me hope for more amendments like this in the future.

beats the gi joe reveals which currently stands at GI joe the elevator music collection coming to walmarts around the globe on one continent.
