Animated was the worst! Even worse than Beast Machines. Peaks & valley's. Animated & Beast Machines were the valley's, the lowest points of the franchise. Now we have RID & Cyberverse. Another low point. Thank God we have Siege & Studio Series to even things out. My Walmart put all the Cyberverse garbage in the clearance section & it still won't sell. Mixing Transformers with Looney Tunes or Spongebob's animation style just doesn't work.

animated wasnt that bad none of the TF shows were so horrible that they were unwatchable
except for rescue bots i could never make myself watch something so silly

Animated was awesome and Prime was an amazing show. I gave up after RiD's first season and after watching the abomination that was the Machimina Combiner Wars shorts, I gave up entirely on all shows.

For now, all that matter is the toys. Fiction be damned.

So about those Canadian Transformers sightings ...

I bought some. And here is why (this goes out to all the Canadian lurkers our there). While they are of characters I dont need, I do intend on getting Soundwave and Skybite when they come out. So, since they are all the same number at TRU, I am buying some warriors now and will exchange them for the toys I want later. I wasnt greedy, just bought 3. I dont know how many I will want, even for 5$.

Reminds me of the time the beast hunter deluxes were 5$ in canada, I bought almost all of them (but didnt get Prowl because I am an idiot who was thinking "you dont really need them all do you?" )

Oh yeah, that's a bit sneaky, Will. Soundwave does look fun at least. Still, My true Cyberverses wants are for the silly Armor ones that are coming out soon.

First Canada's TRUs are spared, and now THIS?!? Sweet #@&%ing Primus, is it ever frustrating to live just across the river, yet so far away!

So, anyone else getting a second warrior Bee to customize into Cyberverse Glyph? There were enough good sales on Cyberverse last year that I already got my spare, so I'm just one batch of blue dye and a robo-boob-job away!

There, that should make the collective inappropriate comments eclectic enough to get this thread right back on track. Now if only Amazon would start using their Seinfeld names again...

Canada has been getting toys very late this year, compared to the US. EB Games has been the place to get toys first this year but stock is limited, as is the amount of locations, so below I will also be reporting at toys found at bigger retailers.

Cyberverse: Walmart has the latest 1 steps which include Prowl, the new Megatron and Optimus. They also have the new scouts which include Ratchet and Shadow Striker.

Siege: There have been sightings of Galaxy Prime at both Walmart and Toysrus. It is not in Walmart's database though, so buying him has been trickier there. All of Wave 2 has been found at Walmart now including the micromasters, battlemasters, deluxes and voyagers. Though not all provinces have found all these sizes.

Studio Series: While the DOTM Megatron and Jetfire leader figures were available much earlier on at EB Games they finally found their way to Walmart the past few weeks and are getting restocked.

Ectotron: EB Games has this toy in stores for $60 CAD. They are the exclusive retailer for this figure.

Interesting to see Ectotron at EB store.
If I see it live, maybe it will be an impulse purchase.

I still have yet to track down the total 80’s awesomeness that is Ecto-1. Bummer.

It's probably no rush man, it's only just coming out at Canadian retail, and most pre-orders outside Canada aren't even due for 2 more months!

Not sure if anyone's posted this yet, but ToysRus has another 25% off sale on now..... and it includes the online pre-order for Omega Supreme!!!!!

Already enjoyed the sale but I didn't knew it applied on pre-ordres too.

Hmmmm…… To preorder Omega or not....

I'd do it. 25% off is really good for a titan

It is good, but for the cash needed, there's more important things right now. Beside, I bet there will be overstock even for him and he will be back on sale anyway. Like Trypticon and Fortmax before him.

It will be 40% off come black friday, I can wait. Jetfire though, I might bite.

THAT is the one "more important".

It has been a long time since Canada was the first with a sighting. But it is again with the Cyberverse Spark Armor toys. These are slightly taller than legends class figures and have a similar complexity along with a drone vehicle which becomes armor. These are similar to the RID Battlepack figures. The first wave has Prowl, Starscream, Jetfire and Skybyte. They are $19.99 CAD. Another new sighting in Canada is the Series 2 Botbots. Only the 8 packs were spotted so far. While the US has had these in a while, Canada did get the Series 1.5 Bakery Bytes wave between them, which the US skipped. These were all found at Toysrus by yours truly. The Spark Amor toys were in Montreal, Quebec, while the Botbots were found in Brampton, Ontario, (as evidence by the MPM toys on shelves which are not sold in Quebec).

whoe. Those armor guys are tiny — like legends size. That suddenly puts them right back on my list. Sculpts looked like they could have been pretty big. I'm happily surprised.

I guess the big disappointment for me is the Prime with Ark. He looks like he actually IS the size I thought they all were, and with no articulation from the waist down. I'm thinking I will pick up a few small ones and pass on him, since the price will be outlandish.

Grahhhh. I want that Ark!

I'm surprised these aren't showing up on ebay.

Pretty much this. Cyberverse has been relegated to trunk of the car by almost everyone, and unlike RiD2015, it deserves it save for a couple potential few

The fact that the Cyberverse thread barely moved when the "first world sighting of the Armor guys" happen is proof enough.

Toysrus Canada had seemingly skipped wave 2 of Siege deluxes. However, it turns out that they are getting a revision version of wave 2, something we did not know existed until now. This revision wave consists of one of each of the new wave 2 bots (ex Prowl, Ironhide ect) and flywheels. Yup, if you thought you were seeing lots of flywheels already, wait till this revision wave drops by a store near you and that's all you will see.

The exclusive Battle Damaged Studio Series Revenge of the Fallen voyager Megatron was also found at Toysrus for $39.99 CAD. For those curious about other Toysrus sightings, the giant Cybverser Ark Power Prime was also found along with the latest Marvel Legends two packs like Ironman / Ironspider, Korg / Grandmaster and Colossus / Juggernaut (while we are talking about Hasbro exclusives at Toysrus Canada).

Is it sacrilege that I like the Infinity War Iron Man and Spider-Man 2-pack than the other sightings?

I mean, I haven't seen that one yet, whereas everything else is at least in every store, if not shelfwarming.

Still no Chromia, no Blunt, and no Refractor.

Goddammit, TrU...
