Secure your favourite heroes from Season 1 of Demon Slayer with McFarlane's newest figures, available for pre-order now. Shipping is expected in June 2024.
The last Funko NFT drop was back on February 1 which feels like a lifetime ago considering everything that has happened since then. Now we have a new drop and it's the 80's classic Transformers turn for the Funko NFT treatment.
We have everything you need to know about this latest Funko Transformers NFT drop, so grab a pint of, eh, energon and read on.
Autobots, roll out!
1. Transformer NFT Packs
As has always been the case with Funko NFT drops, there will be two packs available at launch - a Standard ($9.99) and a Premium ($29.99) option.

The standard pack features the de facto leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, and comes with 5 Transformers NFTs. The Premium Pack features Megatron, the ruler of the evil Decepticons, and comes with 15 Transformers NFTs.
🧠
Did you know that Hasbro contacted the creative boffins at Marvel to create names, personalities and back-stories for their new robots in disguise? Optimus Prime, Megatron and the Autobots vs Decepticons were just some of Marvel's creation!
There are 5k more premium packs than the Nickelodeon NFT drop, but 18k less standard packs.
Packs will be available on launch day on Droppp.io and can only be bought with a credit/debit card. The drop is limited to $60 and you can rejoin the queue to buy more, albeit this is very unlikely to be successful.
⚠️
SALE AND REDEMPTION WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE IN JAPAN AND RUSSIA FOR THIS DROP.

Statistics
Ever wondered how many Transformers packs have been opened? The number of Legendary or Grail NFTs still to be found? Or the top account holders of each redeemable pop?
There are a total of six Transformers Funko Pops! to collect.
Five of these can be claimed by collecting the Grail (limited to 999) and the four legendary (limited to 1,550 each) NFTs.
Legendary Devastator, Hot Rod, Rumble, Sideswipe and Grail Optimus Prime
Rumble and Devastator make a physical appearance for the Decepticons, whilst Hot Rod and Sideswipe turn up for the Autobots. Of course Optimus Prime the Autobot leader is the grail.
These funko physicals look incredible, though I do wish the grail wasn't all gold as the NFT itself looks incredibly colourful in comparison. Still won't mind it sitting on my soon to be Funko shelf!
The Royalty collection reward is claimed when you complete the entire 103 NFT set (excluding legendary, Grail, Series Coin and 1-of-1).
Freddy Funko Transformers Royalty Reward
In simple terms, if you collect one of each Common, Uncommon, Rare and Epic variant from the set, you'll have completed the Royalty Collection and will be eligible to receive an exclusive Freddy Funko Bumblebee Pop! (above) when redemption coins are distributed.
And my word, does that Freddy kick ass!
