Greetings N! How's it going? Hopefully you're doing well! It's been a while since the last month news and looks like before summer and some Transformers' anniversary reasons such based news about them comes out pretty much in recent weeks. So here's Beta's News comes again:
1. Today - 23rd May is G1 Jazz's voice actor's birthday - Scatman Crothers. Except voicing the cool autobot he was indeed real jazz musician and actor aswell!

Here's spotlight video about him! Recommend to watch it! 🖤💙🤍
2. Also 23rd May is birthday of another person - Josh Cooley - director of Transformers One!
Fun fact : Josh Cooley also voiced Skywarp in Transformers One! But his only line was - What?

There should be Transformers One voice actors of Soundwave and Skywarp here!
3. This one is happening at Japanese side of Transformers franchise - so Takara (except Hasbro, Japanese company Takara Tomy also helps designing and producing Transformers stuff) announced their own Transformers series named Wild King W. To be fair I've watched Wild King series and Wild King W is its upcoming 2nd season. These series in 1st season was about Optimus Prime and Megatron's adventures on the planet Elementros - planet with special elemental energy! (Wild King got some lore so it requires its own post if needed...)
This is Rex Blade - Wild King W's original main character! Triple Changer that turns into T-Rex and off-road vehicle!
These are Energy Beasts - residents of Elementros with elemental powers! On Elementros there's in total 5 elements exist : fire, water, lightning, earth and nature!
4. Age of the Primes announced Sentinel Prime and his relic which can contain 13 Primes Relics:
This Sentinel Prime is based on his IDW continuity design.
5. Age of the Primes also revealed its new 3 pack consisting of Ironhide, Mirage and Bluestreak!!!
They're redecoes of their War for Cybertron Trilogy counterparts if I'm not mistaken but I'm glad that they're getting some spotlight! Especially Bluestreak. He even got his G1 based tech specs!!! 🖤🩶🤍
6. Transformers Go! Go! manga got its special edition based on upcoming Wild King W series:

That white wolf bot's name is Silvertail and the bot on fire is called Lightlong though his original elemental energy was lightning based not fire related... This again - a long story!
7. Transformers 1986's the Movie gets released in theatres for 40th anniversary!
8. Cyberworld Jazz's toy is finally revealed:
He turns into polar bear. This was unexpected but I'm glad to see Jazz again! Last time he got tiny role in Transformers One which was couple years ago... Also except Jazz, in snowy areas Cheetor and Hound also resides according to their designs!
9. This one is cute one - Mochibots revealed new wave of Transformers plushies:
Looks like Lambros - Sideswipe and his Shattered Glass counterpart, Sunstreaker, Red Alert and Jazz are getting come attention.

Here's their reveal video with their 360' turnaround looks.
10. Transformers 32nd issue was out almost 2 weeks ago. But someone before official release someone got that comics paper copy and leaked some of it apparently. I don't what exactly this happened again...Except that issue mostly introduced a lot of Decepticons from Animated, Prime, G1 series! Elita Prime even had ghost of 1st Prime's artifact if you know what I mean... Not to mention Shockwave's new nickname... Some people called him Shorb because of his looks... 😶
11. Takara Tomy revealed new toys once more : Nemesis Star Convoy - evil version of Star Optimus Prime!

13. 8th May was 1st ever Transformers Marvel comics release date. Which means this franchise is now 42 years old!
14. For Studio Series 86 line new toys of Cliffjumper, Blitzwing and Cyclonus revealed!
15. Chris McFeely made Basics on Powerglide!
16. Stories from the Toyshelf YouTuber made stories about Trailbreaker, Skids, Windcharger and recently about Huffer!
Oh dear! That took some time to sort these news! I hope you like them. I'd be glad to hear your opinion! ( ノ^ω^)ノ
Anyways, have a nice day! ❤️👋
Heyo Beta! Been doing well! \( •̀ ω •́ )/
Yeah! I looked up his birthday recently because I fell into the trap of Tomodachi Life and made Jazz on it. That's cool that Scatman Crothers was a jazz musician! And Josh Cooley having the same birthday is a nice coincidence. That "What?" was iconic though. ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵)
Woah! Wild King looks pretty cool. I like how they have their element symbols on their chest.
I was about to say I did not recognize Sentinel. I always associate him with the color blue like in TFA or TFOne. Did not know he was orange in IDW. And YES! Love those three! Glad Bluestreak is getting more appearances!
*GASP* ∑( 口 ) September 17th! On a Thursday! Maybe I should try catching it after work. I love how they're calling it an Apology Tour.
Jazz is in Cyberworld? Cool! (...heh. get it?...ignore this. :p)
Aww~!!! The mochibots have always been adorable!
Wasn't it a youtuber who started the nickname? ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵)
Nemesis looks pretty cool. The pops of blue really makes it stand out.
I'll definitely have to check out the videos on Trailbreaker and the others when I find the time.
Thanks again for the news! Hope you have a good day or night!(≧▽≦)ノ
Jazz and Mirage are roommates in my game. Trying to get Spec Ops to live together.
