I love, love, love the orange bubbles of Botbots season 3 packaging. Really excited for the new batch, but almost pooping my pants over the Seasons Greeters figs!

Footage of the Spark Armor on the cartoon is making me look forward to the new episodes even more. Cyberverse is such a great little show it's hard not to want more of it. Seeing that the episodes are usually put on YouTube by Hasbro, they should tampograph a QR Code on the toys somewhere that links to episodes.

Transformers SDCC 2019 reveals

Even more new Transformers products were shown off earlier today (yesterday depending on your schedule) and MAN! Adding to my Great Value BotCon of G1 reissues exclusive to Walmart stores is now the 35th anniversary toys will also be exclusive to Walmart! This is something I'm loving as like many of you I'm in Walmart every weekend as is, and well they've generally got the best prices. I was pretty worried I'd have to order from some odd web store, which means it would pretty much get poached the second the toys go up. Which not only would crash the site, but also sell out in a second. So unlike SDCC exclusives that are pretty hard to get when you have a busy schedule (no, I'm not taking time off to sit in front of a web page, I've said before I will not be punished for being a responsible adult), they'll be at my local Walmart! And honestly, I live in the south so I have plenty to choose from in a stones throw.

Under the break is links to galleries and such.

Beast Morphers new episodes and more new toy looks!

The second half of Beast Morphers looks great! Not to mention even more looks at new toys after the break!

DANG

I'll Siege all the Micromasters!

 

So, per my previous post wondering about what will be shown at the SDCC TF panel, some early looks at the display confirm that Siege isn't a 1 year line like POTP was, but most importantly shown off a plethora of new Micromasters for me to scream like a banshee over. I'm absolutely ecstatic over more Micromasters. I don't think you understand. Not just that, more cassettes (technically Micromasters) and Battlemasters. Sure there's some other regular guys displayed (that I will get), but what's important here is more Micromasters. Holy crap more Micromasters. This is wonderful. The panel is tomorrow (or sometime today depending on when you read this) and I'll be updating more on my further thoughts then. If they show any more Micromasters I'll probably explode.

Cyberverse Japanese Intro and SDCC week on Planet Zone

I've been patiently waiting to see what Takara does with Cyberverse. If it's anything like what they did with RID (2015) then there's a lot of fun stuff coming! Personally, I'm really looking forward to season two.

Seeing as this is SDCC week and I'm likely to get a few more press releases as well as the glut of news coming from the show will probably result in a different kind of week here on Zone Base. Probably a few reaction posts (I don't plan on talking about everything) mixed with press releases and the Spooky Summer stuff (I'm guessing you all are liking those, it's a fun way to slide into the Halloween season). So hold on loosely (but don't let go) and everything will resume whatever constitutes as normal here soon enough.

Siege... then what?

I've been loving Transformers Siege toys. I've got literally no real complaints about the line and wish it'd go on forever. It won't though, and with SDCC this weekend, like you I'll find out what's following it. Transformers lines used to get 18 months of a life span, or at least until the line got a refresh. Starting with Power of the Primes though, Generations seemingly has shifted to a year long life cycle. It is what it is and frankly a nice way to keep the selection fresh. Though like I said, Siege will by the end of this year and it's follow up will most likely be shown in some form by SDCC.

Usually by now something has leaked. Hasbro has been pretty good about containing leaks these days, but by now there would be something. Closest we have is stuff for Siege that hasn't came out yet. It's at this point I wonder, will it be that different? Hear me out. Combiner Wars was pretty different from Titans Return, which was similar to Power of the Primes, but still had it's differences. All three were part of a trilogy full of toys pretty dang distinct from each other aide from the beginning and end.
