Transformed R.E.D 6" Figures line packaging and more promotional pics revealed

Fans of The Transformers who ever wanted "cartoon accurate" styled versions of their favorite Robots In Disguise welcome the news when Hasbro revealed months ago that they would be introducing a 6" "Marvel Legends" styled action figure line featuring fan favorites - and the first wave of these non-transformable figures will feature staples from the OG Generation One series - namely Decepticon leader Megatron and his trusty subordinate Soundwave, and the Big Bot and head of the Autobots himself - Optimus Prime!

Thanks to In Demand Toys, we get our first official look at the packaging these figures will be contained in - and it lives up to the "R.E.D" series name in that the box is in a predominant red color scheme, with the Transformers logo present as always in the side as styled in modern Hasbro TF merchandise offerings. Optimus, Megatron, and Soundwave all come with interchangeable hands and accessories, so this goes well for collectors who only want the Cybertronians in their robot form. Again, these do not transform - and is Hasbro's latest venture into bringing one of their popular IPs into the 6" figure scale market that is present in their Marvel Legends series and in their new "G.I.Joe Classified" line of figures.

The Transformers R.E.D Series is scheduled to be released this August according to the In Demand Toys website.

It looks like Hasbro is opening the doors for a new can of collectible worms for those who loved G.I.Joe: A Real American Hero, Transformers, and everything about the 80's, as the company has released some promotional photos and details for some of their new products scheduled to hit later on this year!

With Hasbro Pulse showcasing some new stuff this Friday 11am EDT at their Facebook page, the interwebz has gotten their first look at the G.I.Joe Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander life sized helmets - which will be available exclusively at Gamestop.

Joe news website HissTank.comhttps://news.hisstank.com/2020/06/24/g-i-joe-snake-eyes-helmet-only-at-gamestop-69010 has the details on these wearable helmets - which will be available come October this year.

Next up for those who love the Robots in Disguise from Generation 1, Hasbro will be launching a new "Marvel Legends" style of Transformers in the 6" scale called "R.E.D" or "Robot Enhanced Detail" 6" style of action figures. These are non-transformable, and will instead replicate the robot modes of the Transformers as seen in the classic animated series - starting with the two most recognizable characters and leaders - Optimus Prime of the Autobots and Megatron of the Decepticons.
