Transformers Thread

Why is Shockwave terrifying in, like, every single version of Transfomers? Dude is like that one MF you pray you don't see when you're going down a dark alley and look behind you.

 

That said, the EarthSpark figure of Shockwave looks BALLER. Like, I love that MF in bot and alt mode.

As per usual, Hasbro releases their Transformers months ahead of the original release date. So My War for Cybertron Studio Series Gamer Edition Megatron arrived on Sunday. He looks so dang good. Might be one of my favorite tank Megs alt mode but I LOVE his bot mode. Thinking of getting one for my nephew for Christmas.

 

Also, Armada Starscream was on sale for $21 on Amazon. YOINK! He'll be at my doorstep on Wednesday.

Much as I love the more high end figures from the Studio Series and Legacy lines, I really like the gimmicky, more child friendly Transformers. I found some one step EarthSpark figures, Bumblebee and Soundwave and it is just endlessly enjoyable to just transform them back and forth. They remind of Transformers you would find in Happy Meals back in the day. I guess it's the kid in me.

 

The Rise of the Beasts Beast Alliance Battle Changer Optimus Prime is so freaking fun to transform back to truck and bot mode. He's also pretty detailed for a smaller figure. Yeah, he isn't much for articulation, but he's got the freaking sword attached to his hand and he has a simple, fun transformation. And I dig his armored truck design. Much as I love the trailerless Prime truck we usually get, I love it when Hasbro changes up the design.

Thar Studio Series Ultra Magnus looks GODLIKE. Had my eye on him ever since he showed up for Pre-order on Amazon. Maybe I'll treat myself to him for Christmas.

 

Hasbro is effin' up! My Target and Walmart never have the Buzzworthy Bumblebee Rise of the Beasts Optimus Prime or the Rise of the Beasts Voyager Class Prime. Both those figures look sick AF and it pains me that he is never in stock. Same deal on Amazon and other online retailers I shop at.

Me and pre-orders on the Transformers front have been terrible. Via Amazon, I  missed out on the Gamer Edition Prime (BKA Optimus Prime from the War for Cybertron game)  and now the Animated Legacy one. Animated Prime is still available at most other retailers, yet they charge shipping. Gamer Edition Prime is going to be a re-pack with the upcoming wave.

Target canceled their pre-orders for Studio Series Buzzworthy Bumblebee Rise of the Beasts Voyager Class Optimus Prime. The figure being a Target Exclusive wouldn't have been bad if there was enough supply to meet the overwhelming demand. I don't think I'll ever own an legit version of this Prime without paying 70$ or over 100$ and I ain't tryna eff with that. Soooo, I looked into KO versions and ordered this guy. Comparisons between the KO and official version are pretty interesting.

For those of you with ROSS stores nearby, there may be  copies of the Kingdom ARK toy selling for $60 . The MSRP was $170 back in 2021.

This is on a store by store basis so you'll have to explore if you're feeling up to it.

 

Other figures sighted:

Velocitron RID 2001 Scourge (MSRP - $55. Now-$17) I have seen this at 2 stores in the last 2 weeks here in Tampa, FL.

Retro Titans Return figures - Hardhead, Mindwipe, Skullcruncher, and Highbrow MSRP - $20 .Now -$10

Reissue Beast Wars Optimus Primal and Megatron MSRP - $30?   Now - $13    I have seen Primal once.

 

Target has a 25 % off toys coupon on their app. Valid until Nov. 18.
