And finally, we come to the final two reveals from SDCC.
LEGACY EVOLUTION WAR DAWN 2-PACK
A throwback all the way to the Generation 1 episode “War Dawn”, and a sequel of sorts to last year’s Pulsecon exclusive Alpha Trion and Orion Pax 2-pack, this year we are getting Orion Pax’s loyal friend Ariel and Dion!
Ariel, Orion’s girlfriend and loyal confidante, is a retool of the TRANSFORMERS LEGACY Deluxe Class Prime Universe Arcee mold and transforms from robot mode to Cybertronian Motorcycle Mode in 19 steps.
Then there’s Dion, Orion Pax’s best friend. A retool of the STUDIO SERIES 86 Deluxe Class Autobot Kup figure, Dion transforms from robot to Cybertronian truck in 20 steps and comes with three blaster accessories.
The War-Dawn 2-Pack is a SDCC Exclusive and will release on Hasbro Pulse later this year!
TRANSFORMERS SHATTERED GLASS 2-PACK
The final release of Shattered Glass figures of 2023, this 2-pack comes with the Autobot Seeker Rodimus Prime and the Ex-Autobot Sideswipe and his minicon companion Whisper! Based on the Shattered Glass comic released over a decade ago, this set is part of a larger collection where the Autobots are evil and the Decepticons are good!
First up we have Rodimus Prime! Redecoed from the STUDIO SERIES 86 Voyager Class Hot Rod figure, Rodimus Prime intends to overthrow Optimus Prime and lead the Autobots into the future of controlling the known universe! Rodimus Prime comes with Energon Saw, two blasters, and Flame Effects parts and converts from Robot to Vehicle in 29 steps!
Finally, we have Sideswipe! A retool of the SIEGE Deluxe Class Sideswipe mold, Shattered Glass Sideswipe is based on the original Armada Wheeljack figure from 2002, complete with his Minicon companion Whisper! Defecting from the Autobots to the Decepticons, Sideswipe aims to help them protect the universe from their wrath. Sideswipe comes with shoulder-mounted blaster and two swords based on the original Wheeljack’s figure from Transformers: Armada and converts from robot to vehicle in 16 steps!
Transformers fans are eating good!
And that’s it! Transformers collectors better have their pockets ready to go as the remainder of 2023 is sure to be an expensive year. With new figures coming out of the woodwork for fans of the live-action movies, the comics, and the various animated series, there is no telling where the next Transformers figures will go for inspiration.
