The new line of Transformers figures is debuting Friday at San Diego Comic-Con for an early 2023 release, and includes a look at Transformers mainstays like Optimus, Bumblebee and Megatron alongside new Transformers said to be the first to be born on Earth.
The series is also going to bring a human family to the fight, and among the reveals is a Bumblebee figure that transforms with the help of 9-year-old Mo Malto. This $30 Transformers EarthSpark Spin Changer Bumblebee figure finishes the transformation from car to robot by attaching the 2-inch Malto figure to the robot’s shoulder.
