Date For Transformers Kingdom Worlds Collide Multipack Revealed

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

I think it was discovered some time ago that this pack was actually a Buzzworthy thing. Which probably means it's four different Bee mold reissues and we won't get any information until the thing actually appears in stores.

I could be misremembering, however.

There have been toys in Buzzworthy Bumblebee that haven't been Bumblebees, like Studio Series Shatter and a Cyberverse Spark Armour Megatron. If the Worlds Collide set is in Buzzworthy, that could mean there's a good chance there'll be at least one Bumblebee in there.

You’re not misremembering.

Depending on the store system you look this set up in it comes up as the following.

Tra Target Kingdom 4 pack

Or...



Both have the same product and EAN number.

So the Set looks to be apart of Buzz worthy and Kingdom. As to what it includes, I don’t know.

Sounds to me like another one of those sets where you have to pay $80 for a set that only has just 1 figure of value. Like: "Hey look! It's a new Deluxe class Shrapnel but oh... It comes with 2 Fossilizers and a lime green Rattrap."

Pending contents, of course.

I don't think that I'm alone in saying that I would love a Packrat repaint. I think the cool thing about BW figures is the long list of cool potential repaints that you can get out of them, just looking at the figures on my desk, they could do any of the dinobot/grimlock remolds, a shadow panther or McDonald's panther out of cheetor, they could do a crystal widow inspired retool/repaint of blackarachnia, a nightbird out of airazor... heck they could even get freaky with it and give us a purple shattered glass primal and go in that direction

Certainly a lot more interesting than rereleasing sideswipe with a a new car deco 4 times a year

Well if I had to make a solid guess based on existing molds...Tarantulas, Tigertron are easy guesses.

The darker Airrazor is possible.

So is Buzzsaw, Shadow Panther, Packrat, Hardhead, Dinotron

Maybe Ironhide (out of Rhinox)

As for the G1 figure that seem to be packed in these...any one of them. But I would prefer they did some repaints and make new characters instead.

I would love Hauler.

I'm still sad we haven't gotten Sunstorm yet. How do we get Hotlink, Red Wing, and a generic zombie over the poster child for lesser known Seeker repaints?

True that. He's even been in the comic.

And I say that as someone who loves my Siege Hotlink and Red Wing (although I cancelled my pre-order for the zombie, I'll probably still end up getting him). But Sunstorm is way cooler

I'm all about DW. I'd love a Sunstorm Tetrajet, but for some reason, I don't think Hasbro likes to acknowledge Sunstorm anymore.

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark with guessing. Total cost is $80, which would imply 4 deluxes cause that breaks up evenly. I imagine this might be where Predacon Wingfinger is released, maybe a repaint of Black Arachnia as the Maximal Black Arachnia from the card, maybe Glyph from SG Goldbug, and finishing with a repaint of Tracks as Loudpedal. I seriously doubt I got the characters right, but it'd make sense that the "Worlds Collide" set would have one from each faction.

As a wish though, if it's not 4 deluxes, then it'd likely be 2 voyagers and 2 core class, and in this case, I'd love to see Predacon Rhinox and Dinotron as the voyagers, with the core class guys being Thundercracker and Skywarp (I would say Packrat, but I think he should be released with Fractyl from the rumored Terrorsaur as a nod to the original releases)

This is what I worry we'll end up getting. The Titans Return box sets all over again. "Hey, here's the first ever toy of this extremely popular, breakout fan-favourite character from the comics, but she's only available in a box set with one of the Autobot Clones and some low-energy repaints of Optimus Prime and Six Shot".

I doubt a Kingdom box set would be as good as that titans returns one lol 1 Japanese exclusive mold (with bigger factions symbols that were better to me), 6 changer that was better than the original toy (some kingdom figures arent as good as older toys), 1 at the time exclusive figure/then only available as exclusives or TAkara and a comic nobody which was a nice exclusive resculpt, plus a metal head thrown in

Kingdom box set is likely just ultra magnus repainted and five different colors of stinky putty XD

Everyone is different. I got those sets specifically for Quickswitch/Magnus, the Clones, and the diecast TM's. I couldn't have cared less about purple fembot (whatever her name is). I gave her to my daughter. Metalhawk was ok.

Lime green? what are you talking about. The recolor will be blue. His name will be Packrat and no collection will feel complete without him.

TFW has inhand images of walgreens red alert. car mode still looks a mess with the mismatched black panel but just maybe the whites are going to match on the figure. The grey legs do look better but I'm avoiding it with my dislike of the original and still no shoulder wheels.

With the Sideswipe mold getting an earth version many fans are wondering if it's worth it when they already have all the characters in the siege mold. Well, we have some images from a Hong Kong TF group that shows how extensive a retool the new lambo mold is. These are shots of the upcoming Walgreens exclusive Kingdom Red Alert. You see him in his robot mode and alt mode, with comparisons to Siege Sideswipe. This toy will be out for the 2021 holiday season, as all previous Walgreens exclusives were.

The black panels near the front wheels in car mode kill me. I'd rather those have been matched to the rest of the vehicle color, even if it that area looked a little off in robot mode.

I'm still going to get these - they're far above the Universe versions of these characters - but that one detail could have made these even better.

I won't be transforming mine for anything other than stop-motion shots.

I don't understand why they have those panels black, even the siege version, it didn't make sense.
Still it looks like most of the parts to make up vehicle mode are new, so that's good. Wish they'd put the spoiler on there though.

Because these black things are on the same sprue as all the other black parts. It's a mass production thing.
Still, it could have been better planned.

Unpaintable plastic, used for structurally important parts. Typically occupies one mold/color of the 4 used.

I’ve got some ideas on how to kitbash Kingdom Red Alert to make him a lot more animation accurate, in color at least. Some of the parts swapping will be easy enough to do, but I could do a much more thorough job if I could dismantle some of the pinned joints safely. Does anyone have some experience with removing and reinstalling the pins on the more recent Generations figures?

Odd, people said it was on the same sprue as the head, and yet the head is a different colour here. This now makes the Selects Deep Cover really nonsensical.

I pulled this from the CW thread.

So as some of you may know, I have this long term crazy goal to get one of each variant of the Botcon 2016 Customization Class Ratchet's (as there are 5 variants), as having them all will complete my combiner collection. Well, amazingly I've been making a little progress, but today I hit a snag.

I've received one of the Hand-Foot accessories that was misassembled. Left is misassembled HFG, as opposed to a correct one on the right. It looks like 2 tiny pins would have to be removed and reinserted to correct this. I'm just not sure it is even possible, and if so, what tool should I use? Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you so much.

This should not be a problem. Whst you need is a watch pin remover. It looks like a really thin ice pick. Get the millimeter radius that works with that particular pin.
Here's a video I looked at to help me out

The head is a different sprue and material. Sideswipe and Deep cover make it hard to tell because there are 2 black sprues, one of paintable and one unpaintable.

The wheels, head, flip out ab piece, and the shins are all paintable black. The shoulders, fists, inner structure you can barely see through the windshield and crotch/hips are unpaintable black.

The side by side with Kingdom Red Alert and Siege Sideswipe is how you can tell. Red Alert uses a different color for the parts of Sidswipe that were black but paintable.

Edit: I meant to add that I suspect the wheels themselves might be their own mold that they can mass produce in multiples of 4 and potentially re-use in the future without having to affect the rest of the mold.

OK, just saw a review of Titan Class Autobot Ark (he's out folks!)...

Why is he marked as 15+ instead of 8+ like the rest of his range?

Because a 8yo might my seriously hurt by his awesomeness!

Wait so does the Ark not come with a unique destiny? The card was shown in the Stock photos and when we have cards the Titan usually comes with a unique one. Also there's supposedly 16 different destinies, but only five characters (with three different destinies each) so someone's getting a fourth card so it might as well be the Titan.

Having seen more in hand images, I have some fears for this mold. It seems like the chest is super hollow, even the parts where the shoulders are. It seems to be a lot of empty space in the area where he needs strength.

Perhaps there is a choking hazard with the microfigure?

I guess to show that this is for collectors and not kids. 15+ is the default collector age range across all collectibles. Don't know if that means he won't be getting an in store release.

Transformers Kingdom deluxe Road Rage is coming to Target in the US in the fall. She will be a red card exclusive, at least at first. It could be that people with a Target Red Card will be able to purchase her first and she will become available to pleebs later. Chefatron made a review of this toy so we get our best look yet at the figure. The only change from Tracks is the head. We also have images from the video comparing the two. This should be a Toysrus exclusive in Canada.

Does anyone else have Galvatron or Rodimus Prime on preorder with Target? Mine are now listed as Backordered. Was really looking forward to getting them. I hope it won't be too long.

I think o. supreme hit the nail on the head when he mentioned the Optimus Prime microfigure. That thing could be considered a choking hazard, requiring an upping of the age range.

Thank you. Although I *may* have spoke too soon. I don't have Haslab Unicron, but I completely forgot the Centurion Drone pack also has a Micro figure, and the age on it is 8+. Unless perhaps there is a different standard for online exclusives vs something produced for standard retail? Also possibly, the safety guidelines for toys in the United States changed in the last year?

Why does Road Rage have a slit mouth going across her whole face?

My Target preorder for Rodimus also changed to backordered. And my Amazon preorder got pushed back to October 15th. At least neither has been cancelled yet.

Under-3 age guidelines for choking hazards are a critical safety precaution for infants and toddlers. I don't think there's a similar requirement for ages 8 and up. Honestly, I think this is just marketing, look at how LEGO has expanded their 18+ product offerings.

Plus, the LEGO movie already covered this:
https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/fe5953cd-c ... 2aa9477960

Yeah, after last years ER debacle with Target, I don't order online from them anymore. I still do ok when it comes to finding items in-store there, but online is a mess. It seems that ordering online is a mess everywhere...the whole point to guarantee you get something because you pre-ordered it, and don't have to worry about hunting for it, that is no longer a guarantee anymore...

I currently have orders with Amazon, Pulse, and (regrettably) Walmart (only for the Netflix seeker and spoiler box because Pulse sold out before they were available to the general public).

Then there's the trend of pre-ordering from multiple sites because you never know which one will have an item in-stock first, then you have to quickly remember and go an cancel all the other pre-orders when an item comes in...I've only got one item like this currently, but I know people that do it for almost every toy, I'd go crazy trying to keep track of all of that.

For anyone who places orders through Hasbro Pulse, make sure you download the Shopify app. I don't know if Pulse uses them for fulfillment, but all of my orders show up there in an itemized way, and it's much easier to track and update orders through the app than directly from the Pulse website.

I know most everyone has been critical of the $50 fee, but I paid it willingly. I've been able to order pretty much everything I've wanted, and I don't have to worry about stalking retailer sites or b&m. I don't always get things right away -- I passed over a Marvel Legends figure a couple weeks ago that Pulse still hasn't shipped -- but I've basically stopped worrying about the chase entirely.

Thanks for the Shopify tip. That will help immensely.

I've recently heard that anything other than 4+ is a marketing ploy and all toys are made to the 4+ specifications. This was said by the same person who also feels that MOTUO will be done in 6 months.

Got Red Alert from EB Games here in Canada. He's pretty good. I don't have any of his mold mates except for Gigawatt, who was heavily modified.

I think the Autobot logo is really washed out, though. I hope Reprelabels makes a set that fixes that and has some white bits to cover up black spots on the car. Otherwise he's pretty good. I'm not replacing Universe Sideswipe or Streaker, but Universe RA just seemed too much in the repeating mold department, so I'm glad I got one of these guys.

MOTUO?

We have news that the exclusive Transformers Kingdom deluxe Red Alert has been found at Canadian retail. Ultra Mad found them at a EB Games in Montreal, Qc. It was priced at 32.99, same as all other kingdom deluxe figures. It comes in a solid case (meaning just that figure multiple times).


If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.
