Thanks to GameInformer, we have our fist look at the next line of collectable Transformers toys based on the original G1 characters. The new line, which will feature familiar names with brand new toys, looks to be using the previously Japan-exclusive Targetmaster figures as the mini-figures for this line.
Battle Masters
Originally pack-ins for the Japanese Legends line, which saw Hasbro designs with tweaked paint and engineering, these little figures transform from robot to a gun that can be wielded by the larger 'bots. They're terrific fun and should add a lot more play value than the recent Power of the Primes "Prime Master" figures, which were miniature versions of the old Pretender Transformer line and about as useful.
The line is due to be shown at San Diego Comic Con next week by Hasbro, and are expected to hit shelves in Spring 2019.
The first release in this line will be Firedrive.
