Hasbro has announced a new line of Transformers figures ahead of this weekend’s virtual Hasbro Pulse Con, Transformers: Generation Legacy.

The new line is a merging of different “fan-favorite” Transformers characters representing the entire scope of the Transformers multiverse, each with “deco inspired by their universe.”

The first two figure reveals are Deluxe Autobot Skids and Voyager Prime Universe Bulkhead. For a better look at these two new Transformers figures, check out the gallery below.

Skids is “inspired by the animated series, The Transformers, updated with a Generations-style design,” while Bulkhead’s design is inspired by The Transformers: Prime series.

These two new Transformers figures will be available to preorder beginning Friday, October 22 on HasbroPulse and “most major toy retailers.”

Earlier this year Hasbro ran a crowd-funding campaign for the massive Victory Saber, which met its goal and will enter production.

As promised, Best Buy has thrown the “Black Friday pricing” switch ahead of schedule, kicking off a Black Friday deals preview with actual Black Friday pricing on hundreds of items. If you need to accessorize your PC gaming rig, or even want to buy a prebuilt at Black Friday sale prices, Best Buy is guaranteeing these prices for My Best Buy and Totaltech members.

My Best Buy is free to join, and if you buy something during this mini-sale and its price goes lower any time between now and November 26, Best Buy will refund you the difference.

Best Buy Black Friday PC Gaming Deals

The list of deals at Best Buy is pretty substantial, and if you’re in the market for a new television, the Black Friday 4K TV deals at Best Buy are pretty great. You can even save on 8K TVs, not that there’s anything to watch on them (yet).

Japanese game developer Mistwalker and the IGN Store have teamed up to introduce an exclusive line of apparel with designs from Fantasian, the JRPG from Hironobu Sakaguchi. Both Fantasian and its second half are now available on Apple Arcade, but these designs are only available at the IGN Store.

Check out the gallery below to see this exclusive merch:

The first part of Fantasian released on Apple Arcade in April of 2021, followed by the second half on August 13, a day earlier than originally planned. First announced during the Apple Arcade presentation in 2019, the game’s backgrounds were created entirely by hand. Rather than renders, they’re computer scans of actual, 3D-built miniature worlds.

Creator Hironobu Sakaguchi said the decision to create the worlds physically as opposed to digitally meant the game “shouldn’t exist.” The dioramas were scanned with the same processes used in drone scans of actual cities.

These Fantasian designs, as well as the games, are available now.
