Info is out. A bit smaller than I would've liked, my reasoning being that the larger he is, the larger and less pixel-y the tapes would be. So I can only hope that they still look convincing in both modes.

I did a double-take, when it said that he includes "a blaster" - that was not a good choice of words! '(hand-)cannon' would've been more appropriate.

Have you got a link I couldn't fund anything more than since end of May.

The info I read did say the Laserbeak and Ravager would be 'bare bones' so probably rather flimsy? :sceptic:
Doesn't really sound promising, at least...

Other than that, Soundwave sounds really accurate :sweet:

No confirmation of a sound brick… yet 

I thought that was already confirmed earlier on?

Browse Reddit. Lego news/rumours/leaks or such (we are not allowed to link to things like leaks). I didn't see it on any Transformers sites I checked afterwards.

Thanks. If I've found the right one, it says the cassettes are 8*6. That's a shame as the ones I have designed are 9*6 and more than bare bones.

If it does turn out that it's 8*6, and the cassettes aren't great, I may try to rework these into a smaller size - and release the instructions.

Looking forward to the set, but I can‘t help but wonder why this of all sets gets a special reveal event :shrug_oh_well: Not that it doesn‘t deserve it, mind! But it‘s the third Transformers set (fifth if you count the BrickHeadz), so the novelty of the LEGO - Hasbro collab has slightly worn off by now…

Official Soundwave reveal next Thursday (July 10th)? Looking forward to seeing and hearing it. Crossing my fingers there is a related GWP. 

Thanks for the tip!

Agreed. Maybe there's something else to it, that makes it a big deal...

Announcement of standard retail $30-140 sets. PLEASE. At this point I'll take a nontransforming Speed Champions 07 camero with Shia Lebeouf.

Ooohh, that would be epic! :oh:

Though, actually I prefer the '77 Camaro :innocent:

But your general idea is great too! Lots of cool cars to implement in the Speed Champions line :sweet:

If they want to capitalize on the bayverse fans (which I'm not really one of, but there are a lot of 'em, and seeing as Bay returning is the only reason we're getting another transformers film at all...), Speed Champions would be a great way to do it since you can't really translate those designs into transforming lego sets.

I do think most of the G1 designs really could be made as transforming system sets at this point, too.

This is a good point, she was objectively better suited to be the main character of that movie than Sam.

Wait, what? Is this for the Transformers & G.I. Joe collab movie?

I agree both G1 and Bayverse have great models to recreate into Speed Champion(-esque) LEGO sets, transforming or not :sweet: 
A G1 Prowl would be fantastic, now that I think of it.

Images are leaked. Sound Brick is indeed included and the set looks awesome with the transforming mini-tapes.

Definitely a day one purchase! I may eventually get a second. Hoping for some related GWP. Would they tell us of a GWP in the official reveal?

Probably, but we don't know for sure. Paramount completely stopped making transformers movies after TFONE (the best transformers movie on a more critical level, even if the energy of the 1986 movie is something I wish I could inject directly into my veins at all times) underperformed at the box office. Then Hasbro said the future of the franchise was games in an investment call... then cancelled the only AAA game in development. Suddenly, from the top ropes, we get the news that Michael Bay apparently decided he was coming back, and if I remember right through some lego loophole they have to let him or they lose the rights?

I'm not a Bay fan, but his movies generally made money and had cool explosions, and if it's all we can get on the movie front, I'm glad he's back. (Though I'm personally much more excited for the leaked Skybound comic adaptation tv show)

I would love a G1 Prowl in any form, he's pretty underrated and gets the short end of the stick most of the time, and that Crown Vic is such an awesome car.

 


Agh, I was about convinced to skip this one, but those images look so good, and the sound brick helps justify the price. Ravage and Laserbeak look much better than I expected, I really hope a GWP gives us Rumble and Frenzy. Also, this may just be me, I haven't measured it, but he doesn't look as small as bumblebee in this image.

Soundwave looks excellent, tapes are a bit square but look good in that mode, not sure about their 'robot' mode yet. Would've been funny if the mini Soundwave fit inside the tape player.

I'm a bit torn. On the one hand it's kept faithful to the alt mode, but I'm not convinced that his robot mode really looks like the G1. There's too many visible hinges etc which don't feature in the cartoons (like the thighs). His arms look too weedy, and the cassette space is too square.

I will still buy this but there's a good chance I'll mod it to beef up the arms, and fix the cassette shape (if that's possible).
