Two of Transformers' most iconic rivals are clashing again, this time in a completely different era. Confirmed via Hasbro's official product listing, reported by Bleeding Cool and corroborated by TFW2005 and CBR's coverage of the same reveal, the Transformers Timelines Megatron and Bumblebee 2-pack sends the pair into a samurai-era setting, available now through Hasbro Pulse at $67.99.
This is a confirmed, currently shipping release rather than an early tease, so here's exactly what's included.
Hasbro's official product listing, as reported by Bleeding Cool, confirms the following:
The Transformers Timelines series has built its identity around dropping familiar Autobots and Decepticons into different historical eras, and pairing Megatron and Bumblebee specifically for a samurai-era release keeps their classic rivalry intact while giving both characters genuinely new alternate modes. A boar and a flying squirrel are unusual choices for either character, which makes this 2-pack stand out from a straightforward reissue with new paint.
Megatron's 24-step boar conversion versus Bumblebee's 18-step flying squirrel conversion reflects their differing roles in this set: Megatron as the heavier destructive force and Bumblebee as the more agile scout. That distinction carries through the included weapons as well, with Megatron's club-and-cannon combo built for power and Bumblebee's katana and kunai built for speed.
With both figures releasing together in themed packaging, it's worth planning display space that keeps the pair together as a set.
For posing both figures in their samurai-era bot modes, EVORETRO's articulated action figure stands fit this roughly 4.75 to 5.5-inch scale well.
For shelving the pair alongside the previously released Timelines Optimus Prime figure, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers give a tiered, coordinated display.
$67.99.
Exclusively through Hasbro Pulse.
