Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums

A source asking to remain anonymous has pulled this info from a Toysrus Database. It gives us the intended release date of certain toys (although some dates appear mixed up), along with their prices. There are all the Power of the Primes classes and you will notice that the MSRPs for voyagers and leaders keep the same new prices found for the Transformers: The Last Knight toys.

There are also three different classes for a new transformers subline called Transformers Energon Igniters, along with a new line of Tiny Turbo Changers and two unknown Toysrus Transformers exclusives. Let the speculation begin!

Tra gen prime leader - 139944 - $49.99 - 1/01/18
Tra gen prime legends -140055 - $9.99 - 12/01/17
Tra gen prime master - 140306 - $5.99 - 12/01/17
Tra gen prime deluxe - 140454 - $16.99 - 12/01/17
Tra gen prime voyager - 140713 - $29.99 - 12/01/17

Tra energon ignitrs nitro - 140788 - $19.99 - 04/20/18
Tra energon ignitrs pwr-140950 - $9.99 - 04/20/18
Tra energon ignitrs spd - 141140 - $5.99 04/01/17

Tra tiny turbo changers - 141183 - $2.99 - 04/20/17

Ex tra Optimus starscream set - 141434 - $24.99 - 01/01/18
Ex tra street racer - 141450 - $16.99 - 01/01/18

... welp, good thing the only Voyager I was interested in was Elita-1. Otherwise it's good news that the rest of the size classes didn't get their prices inflated to TLK levels.

Those Energon Igniters being released mid-next year (I'm assuming the one saying 2017 is a mistake since that was, uh, 5 months ago) implies to me they're part of the Bumblebee movie toyline. Street Racer is clearly some sort of Deluxe exclusive, while Starscream/Optimus has got to be a legends class 2-pack.

guess im not buying voyagers anymore, hopefully walmart will keep their current prices other wise im one more step closer to not buying transformers at all.

An anonymous source has posted the following listings online which are said to come from a Toysrus computer.

Below is the transcript of what was written and it will be followed by a quick analysis:

First off, the new movie line (the premier deluxes here have a different item number than the TLK stuff):

040172 - transformers premier deluxe - $19.99 4/20/18
040374 - transformers studio series - $29.99 7/01/18
039360 - gen studio transformers - $49.99 4/20/18

Some micelaneous new stuff, including an item from the bumblebee movie:

039449 - tra energon igntrs pwrpls - $14.26 4/20/18
039988 - tra mv6 hero vision mask - $49.99 4/20/18

Aaaand lastly some unknown exclusives:

040765 - ex transfrmrs rebekh garag - $29.99 01/01/18
040846 - ex tra seeker thundercrack - $29.99 4/13/18

These can be verified by inputting the product codes at your local, US based, toys r us store.

The first set of listings, while having different names, match the latest price points for movie deluxes, voyagers and leaders. These are from the upcoming movie line which is releasing characters from previous movies, like a "generations" line but for the live action films. You can read more about that line in this article. This listing now helps us understand that what was written on the previously shown Brawl backdrop was "Studio Series".

We then have another listing for Igniters, which are assumed to be a gimmick centered line.

We also have a listing for a mask from the Bumblebee movie.

The lat two are truly new listings we know nothing of yet. The exclusive Thundercracker is the same price as the upcoming Power of the Primes Starscream so it could be an exclusive redeco for Toysrus. The very last listing is anyone's guess at this point but we should hear more of it soon, since it's street date is the first day of 2018.

Please note that these are street dates and not release dates, so while it can give us a good indication of when the toys can be put up for sale, there is no guarantee that they will be stocked at that time.

I'm genuinely excited for the Studio series. I thought with Last Knight over and Bumblebee movie not having a lot of character toys that I wouldn't have much to look forward to Transformers-wise but thanks you Hasbro/Takara for continuing to produce the movie Transformers figures cos that's my thing.

040765 - ex transfrmrs rebekh garag - $29.99 01/01/18

First off, that date is most certainly a place holder.

Second, pretty sure that's "Rebekah's Garage". Sounds like a playset, I'm guessing there's a person in the Bee movie named (tentatively?) Rebekah.

Really hoping that the thundercracker is a repaint of the potp starscream mold.

Me too, which leads to the next question, what store is going to get Skywarp as an exclusive?

If I were a betting man I'd say HTS or convention exclusive (which would later be up on HTS anyway)

Same. I want my voyager seekers!

Thundercracker from toysrus, skywarp from somewhere else and then a 3 pack of cone heads as the big sdcc exclusive. That's my dream

I'm about half sold on the coneheads. I'd be all in if they differentiated their wings.

Agreed. I'd prefer the coneheads all had the different wings

Skywarp would probably be a BBTS and/or Amazon exclusive.

141205 - TRA Voice Mask - $34.99

Another long list of upcoming toys was posted just now and while most were the same we had seen both here and here, there was one Toysrus exclusive that had not been found so far.

156569 – EX TRA Autobot Masterpiece – $99.99

The listings was found in CSIS (Centralized Sales Improvement System, which is Toys R Us' inventory network) by TFW2005 user Optimus423

While the listing is vague, it confirms a few points. Firstly, this means that Hasbro will continue to provide Toysrus with exclusives, which people doubted with the reveal that MPM Ironhide would not be a Toysrus exclusive. Secondly, it means that Hasbro is continuing to release Takara's Masterpiece figures since this listing cannot reffer to any MPM toy. It being an Autobot means that only one out of the two MPM toys that would have worked would have been Ironhide, and as we just mentioned, he is not an exclusive.

So this listing must reffer to an Autobot (and sadly not a Maximal), from Takara's Masterpiece line. Prices have been all over the place in the past few years so it is hard to tell exactly which Takara Masterpiece Autobot Hasbro and Toysrus would release for $100. It looks far too low for Ultra Magnus and far too high for Sideswipe or Wheeljack. Could this be Masterpiece G1 Iornhide?

Let us know what you think.

This toy adds to the several Toysrus Transformers exclusives coming our way this year which now include:

40846 - EX TRA Seeker Thundercracker - $29.99 (DC has 978 on order)
40765 - EX TRA Rebekah Garage - $29.99 (Bumblebee movie?)
141434 - EX TRA Optimus Starscream Set - $24.99
141450 - EX TRA Street Racer - $16.99
156569 - EX TRA Autobot Masterpiece - $99.99

Hoping so! That much closer to a set of the three primary seekers in voyager scale.

I too would love to have the primary seeker trio in Voyager scale, or even a sextet if we're including the "coneheads," but NOT for this mold. This rendition of Starscream isn't my idea of a real "Classics/neoG1" update of the character. I think we're going to have to wait another several years at this point.

Possible, but that would be the first "non-screen" character in that line-up, which seems to be focusing on characters actually featured in the first couple of films so far. It being an exclusive, though, might mitigate that somewhat.

Those. Figures are ok looking classic seeker figures for seekers are still ones personally like fun to transform voyager seekers in power of prime figure series are good step up for seeker figures

I would actually have liked to see the rest of the seekers made into deluxe size to be limbs for starscream to be honest. It seemed to me that would have been a cool use for them.

I remember being able to get Masterpiece Optimus for $99 (was originally $129, but they had "sales" at $99). So it "could" be a reissue of that figure. Ultra Magnus has the same footprint, so while it seems unlikely, it is possible.

They just reissued Optimus in 2017 and for 160 so on both counts I think we should think of another character.

Yeah, because this mold isn't the best, I would be content with just the three major seekers. They could issue deluxe combining limbs for the remaining coneheads. Heck, they could put out a convention box of the other three and fans would eat that up — they already have the mold. Same for a lavender clone (or Hotlink, as he became known.) Throw that guy in the box. We'll have a blast mix and matching them on the three main seeker bodies.

Whatever it takes to get a good, fleshed out seeker gestalt. Let's do it, Hasbro!
