While the Transformers One line has been trickling in at Target, Walmarts in the US have been slower. Their exclusives have been found though, including the Quintesson toy and this Optimus desk toy which does not transform but goes from Orion Pax to Optimus Prime by changing its head and chest. The toy has been found in the US and Canada for weeks now but if you've been avoiding it and are still curious about what exactly it is, Chuck made a review of the toy which we posted below.

With toy swapping being a common practice, it’s more probable its a swap than a packing mistake

I'll bet this holiday season. You might ask why not last year and that was because the toys were still sort of new and stores were figuring they might get sales.

If you get an update email and don't come to the thread it'll assume you aren't interested and stop sending them. Or at least that's been my experience, but I just look for the red icons to tell me there's been a post and click on the orange icon next to it to be taken to the most recent post since my last visit, I rarely check my email for them.

Everything is normal, even in my profile. I just never get emails from that thread. I wonder if I clicked something wrong and there's no going back?

So yeah, no new reveals, not worth watching. If you wonder the reason why today is Transformers day it's because Walmart apparently said so.

Well, I personally was complaining it ought to have been on May 8, which was the true 40th anniversary of the brand as a whole.Emerje wrote:Sabrblade wrote:September 17 is when the first episode of the G1 cartoon premiered back in 1984.Emerje wrote:If you wonder the reason why today is Transformers day it's because Walmart apparently said so.

first up, I got Alpha Trion and the Quintesson. Quintesson is alright, and B is fantastic. I wish his ankle tilts actually worked and that area was cleaned up some, but he is really nice. I think B may be my favorite of the 5 Prime Changers






I also got the big energon glow Optimus. And I have to say, he is really really fun. I love the translucent parts, and he is basically fully posable, which is impressive. He is just really fun, I would recommend trying him out






My daughter also loves him

Alpha Trion is also a really fun toy




And finally, I got the takara leader figure. He is pretty nice, though there are a couple things that bug me with him. The face sculpt feels off somehow, and I don't like how small the feet are and how limited the ankles are. Other than that, he is pretty nice, especially the truck mode.

You mean wave 3 which I don't believe we've heard anything about if it happens at all.

Yeah, and literally just those four, the Quintesson High Commander is a "Warrior class" figures because I guess only Autobots can be Prime Changers, which would possibly have disqualified Starscream anyway. Gotta love manufactured hair splitting.

But not everywhere, it was sort of a tossup if a store got both or just one. My local Target only got wave 1, my local Walmart only got Bumblebee as part of the big aisle display (with Optimus, AT and the Quint), I've yet to see a Sentinel at retail, got mine from Amazon.

Also pretty incredible how the mainline Prime ended up being the best one
