Leader Buster Optimus Prime Images: Packaging and Figure

A much anticipated Leader class figure is being released in Asia this weekend. An anonymous user of 2chan has jumped the gun and got the gun - and the figure that comes with it. We're talking about Leader Class Buster Optimus Prime, which at the moment is a Takara only version of Revenge of the Fallen Leader Prime that comes with a gun, and a Premium like finish. Check out the images below.








Also concerning Buster Prime, HobbySearch Japan has put up a listing for it, which gives us a first look at Buster's packaging.

Transformers Animated Vortex Blurr Revealed

New Images have surfaced of Animated Voyager Thundercracker in package, with a new redeco of Animated Blurr on the cross-sell. Blurr shows up now in a black color scheme with no visible new tooling.

Walmart's Black Friday Transformers offerings

Here at Seibertron.com, we always make it a high priority to inform fellow collectors of things such as new product releases as well as hot sales offered by retailers.

We'd like to thank Seibertron.com member Nemesis-Prime for a hot tip that is actually a little of both.

To be fair, the "new" in this case refers more to the way the figures are being offered than anything else. Walmart.com has just listed the following exclusive Universe Scout 2-packs which in reality look to be repackaged bundles of exclusives that first apeared in Target Stores in 2007 packaged under the movie line.

Storm Surge vs, Air Raid
Clocker vs. Hardtop

$30 sounds like a terrible price for 2 scouts, but blackfday.com brings us good news. These scout sets are apparently part of a special 5-11 am Black Friday deal for the much gentler price of just $9 each.

Courtesy of i.blackfriday.info we also have found the actual sales ad, which we have mirrored for your convenience.

Device Label Blaster Officially Canceled

Rumors surrounding Takara Tomy's Device Label Blaster figure have proven true. Mike from Digital Toys has been kind enough to give us word from his suppliers that the figure is indeed officially canceled and none will be made in the foreseeable future.

Mystery still lies around this release however, as it's scheduled release was in the coming weeks. Did the Device Label line see poor pre-sales? Perhaps this is an indication of Takara Tomy's financial state? Other possibilities are out there, stay tuned for updates from Seibertron.com.

Boxart for Cancelled Energon Megatron and Optimus Prime Repaints

Seibertron.com member Razorclaw0000 has alerted us towards something very cool at DeviantArt. Artist Dan Khana has posted 3 very interesting pieces of of Energon Optimus Prime and Megatron. This artwork was meant to be the boxart for two Target exclusive repaints from the Transformers Energon line which eventually got cancelled. It was said that the Megatron was going to come with WST Soundwave while the Optimus Prime would have come with WST Optimus Prime, but we cannot confirm this.
