Wait, Target's what?

I just made the grossest face when I saw this, and it’s solely because of Starscream. Optimus and Megatron aren’t bad but are outshined by their Deluxe BAF versions, and I never got that Bee since my patience paid off and the Deluxe BAF came out. Like could they not have used the vastly superior second Warrior version?

Optimus is god awful. So much nonsense with that figure, I just couldn't take it.

You talk about Deluxe Optimus, or Warrior Optimus?
Because the deluxe is pretty nice in it's "if it's not broken don't fix" it kind of way. Plus Matrix Blast action!

Warrior of course, since that's the one that comes un this newly revealed set.

I never bothered with the Warrior Class appart the first Starscream by principle.
I didn't bought much Cyberverse either.

Still, that set would be one HELL of an amazing gateway into the Transformers World for a young child.
Even better on sale, of course.

We have further proof that a goof probably happened. The Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys have all been Target Exclusive so far and the Worlds Collide set, which includes Fangry, Nemesis Primal, Bumblebee and Blackarachnia in toy colours, was in Target's system at $85. But we have images of this set being found at Walmart instead. It is not in their system though and does not ring up. Some very lucky people have still been able to take them home.

Seibertron himself got a copy and is at work on some galleries. For now, we have some previews below along with more images of the box and its contents.

It is assumed that this is a one off fluke and most likely is a limited situation to the particular Walmart where they were found. This set should be available as a Target exclusive later this summer.

Seeing them all in a row like that just makes me more incredulous that they didn't put an Autobrand on Cliffjumper and VW Bee in the first place.

So many wierd deco choices.

I'm gonna need stripes for Bumblejumper here. If that is supposed to be an homage to his Movie styled Camaros and retro muscle modes, then it NEEDS the signature black stripes.

Nemesis Primal is just random. I like it, but he is another black fur Primal and a totally random deco. Would have much preferred the brown and red Universe figure, speaking of worlds colliding. Plus then poor Bumblebee would not be so alone.

Blackarachnia in toy colors is not something I knew I wanted. Its different enough Ivcan totally use this as some9ne else though and unlike Nem Primal its a thing that comes from something. I'm still hoping we get a Crystal Widow redeco from Blackarachnia though. Love those red and blues

Fangry's looking good. Hope the beast mode jaw can articulate, mostly cause it looks a little dumb the way it's shown. Also looks like they just used the separate titanmaster for the head, rather than having a different sculpt, which is fine but a little disappointing. Nemesis Primal and Black Arachnia look great. Bumblebee is meh. Still waiting for Origin Bee, but this'll be fine until then

Bee is kinda neat, if it was sold by itself I think I'd get one and paint the stripes on it.

JTPrime also made a post not too long ago that the Buzzworthy Studio Series "Vs 2-pack" listing is actually a case assortment, meaning we might be getting more than one set. That rerelease of AOE High Octane Bee that leaked alongside Jolt could be part of one of those sets.

A Bumblebee vs Barricade 2-pack seems like a pretty good bet, but I'm wondering what else we could see. Rampage, Soundwave, maybe even Brawl or TLK Optimus/Nemesis? I'm guessing Stinger would be packed in with HO Bee, though Drift could also work.

Since this is the proper thread for this, a lot of people, myself included will be wanting to split this set up, I have no desire to own another copy of the cliffjumper mold, nor do I really want the fangry

Really liking the set. Don’t have any of the molds except Primal, and the new head with the faceplate makes it worth the double dip.

Also interesting that this set is what gets the Alternate heads for both Primal and Blackarachnia.

Seems the only reason for bee to be in this set is to make it a Buzzworthy set. There’s no other reason for him to be there.

There are 2 other reasons.

Firstly, this becomes the closest Bee figure we are getting to his look in the Netflix series, where he doesn't turn into a Beetle and has the same body as Cliffjumper (or vice versa, doesnt matter, point is they have the same body).



Also, thanks to that release of him, we now have the Bazooka Ironhide used

Those are reasons for the figure to exist. Not reasons for it to be part of this particular set.

He’s totally unrelated to 2 evil predacons and a decepticon headmaster.

He would accomplish the same thing in a set wiith other bees or even a Bumblejumper set with other recolors of the same mold. Here it seems he’s just tacked on to make it Buzzworthy.

Not that I mind, The mold is nice, and the accessories too and I don’t own a Bee from Siege, Earthrise or Netflix. But still, its like making a set with Earthrise Prime, Beastwars Megatron, Beast Machines Tankor and a random headmaster. Just odd.

Now that we are getting Fangry in this set, hasbro will pull some shady shite and give us Squeezeplay and Horri-bull in an exclusive 2-pack like they did with the seekers and coneheads.

Don't forget the two other monster autobots after Doublecross/Twinferno.

Speaking of which, I have those 3 so I don't need this Fangry (Nor anything from the set for that matter.)

He's supposed to be unrelated to the others,, that's why the set is literally called Worlds Collide.

I wonder if Fangry could be a "preview" of the 2022 line? Leakers claim Hothead and Nightbeat are part of the line next year with Siren in Selects so it could be Squeezeplay and Horri-Bull are in the next line and this is how we're getting Fangry. I'm fine with all of this if it pans out (especially if we never hear the names Crashbash, Loudmouth and Terri-Bull again). I feel like Squeezeplay could be a Repugnus retool (not saying it would be ideal), but what about Horri-Bull?

I figured out a reason some fans may want this Blackarachnia, if they're not into her original color scheme that hasn't been seen in 25 years.



The brown legs aren't an exact match for the mustard "gold" color of the regular Blackarachnia, but they look more show accurate than the black legs do. And the black legs look good on the new Blackarachnia. Here's a parts swap pic for all of you.

I am SO going to do that!

This is exactly why I'm excited for this set. This honestly makes the Kingdom Blackarachnia figure almost perfect to me! The rest of the set isn't too bad. I like having a Nemesis Primal at last. He looks pretty cool with the purple skin and teal robot mode highlights. I'm happy to be getting a proper Fangry at last too. I can only hope Squeezeplay and Horri-Bull are in the cards as well. The Bumblebee is just along for the ride. Maybe I can find a use for him later. I had no idea why his bazooka was green this time, until William James' post above. That's a deep cut, Hasbro!

I would've rather had Fangry come with his guns and Bumblebee come with a black version of his gun from the Centurion Drone set.
