Hasbro’s Transformers War for Cybertron: Kingdom line is on store shelves now, which introduces everyone’s beloved Maximals and Predacons characters from Transformers: Beast Wars. This line is part of the 25th Anniversary celebration, and the 35th Anniversary of Transformers: Generation One. This introduces these characters to an entire new generation of fans. Transformers War for Cybertron: Kingdom is part of the six part trilogy that began with Transformers: Combiner Wars in 2015, and these line have been paying homages to many of the 1980’s and 1990’s iconic Transformers toys from those era’s. Kingdom is the last part of this part in Transformers history, and we’ll also be getting a new series on Netflix in July 2021, which you can bet these Beast Wars characters will be part of!
This line also introduces the “Fossilizers”, a new skeletal characters that are part of the Deluxe Class figures, which features modular parts that can be used by other characters to create weapons and armor. This replaces the previously offered Weaponizers and Modulators.
In addition to Kingdom, several lines, such as Transformers: Studio Series and the Netflix line of Transformers War for Cybertron: Trilogy (Wal-Mart Exclusive) line is meant to compliment this line, and you will get characters in each line, such as new characters and repaints between all three lines.
