HK-TF member Mickmon has sighted and purchased the Generations Red Alert, War For Cybertron Soundwave and others.
As these figures are available in Hong Kong, other parts of the world should get the toys sooner rather than later.

If you have any new sightings at your location, kindly share with the board members at our Toy Sightings forum: toy-sightings-forum-f57.php-

I shall buy all three On Sight.

I do hope(though its a shallow hope) for a Mach Alert repaint of that red Alert mold

He's supposed to be getting released at the same time as Blurr in September.

Either way, I'm stoked about Red Alert, and the others look great too.

Not exactly into Hailstorm, but I'm really digging Soundwave and Red Alert. WFC Soundwave makes a pretty good replacement for G1 Soundwave. Red Alert I'll get once Dirge is striking a stupid pose on my shelf along with Thrust, Acid Storm, and MP Skywarp. :lol:

cant wait to pick mine up when i see them

Soundwave is a definite win. I'm on the fence about Red Alert, already got Sunstreaker & Sideswipe, don't know if I need a third of the mold. For some reason Hailstorm's robot mode reminds me of a gorilla; his arms seem kinda long & his legs a little short. :???:

I was really diggin Hailstorm, but after seeing how small he is, i may pass on him. I already have Henkei Red Alert so no need for hasbro version and still not impressed with WFC figures either, i just picked Prime over last weekend and really pissed about the QC issue he has, so i may pass on this line altogether, if not just getting Soundwave and Megatron. Just waiting for Terradive, Blurr and Dirge for now, which i think they should be released in September....right>

I dont why but when i see Hailstorm he reminds me of a Gorilla and i think he should be repainted into Beast Box with a new head! Just food for thought.

Nope, it's a slight remold of Sunstreaker/Sideswipe

by **Joker'sRequiem** » Tue Aug 24, 2010 7:14 am

I was seriously thinking of picking up Red Alert because I hadn't picked up Sideswipe or Sunstreaker when they were in stores. But this past weekend I was able to get both off of eBay. Now I'm not so sure I need a 3rd of the mold. But if he looks unique enough in the way Sideswipe and Sunstreaker do, I'll definitely give him a buy.

As for Soundwave and Hailstorm, I've been very pleased with the WFC figures, even though Prime suffers from some scale issues and QC issues, so I'll likely give Soundwave a purchase. Hailstorm looks very unique and I really like the mold. I hope to pick him up to go alongside Terradive.

come to the us already!! cant wait to pick up WFC megatron an soundwave

btw whats the qc problem with prime? i havent noticed anything wrong or loose with mine

by **retrothomas** » Tue Aug 24, 2010 11:21 am

Oh yeah! I can't wait for these guys (as well as Blurr and Darkmount). Er, and Megatron.

I'm most excited for Red Alert. I don't own any of the previous characters based on that mold and I think he's just got a wonderfully old-school aesthetic that I find totally rad!

Still waiting for Wave 1 here in the UK...

Godammit.

Hot on the heels of Generations Red Alert and Soundwave being released in Asia, Allspark.com member Yovnocrats reports the finding of Generations Darkmount and Megatron at a Target. No additional details are available at this time.

Check out our galleries of these figures below:

In addition to new Generations releases, TFW2005 member DeeJay reports finding Hunt for the Decepticons Insecticon, but not Breacher or Oil Pan, at a Kroger's in Ohio.

Totally getting all of these except I'll probably hold off on darkmount and just wait for the skullgrin repaint.

by **retrothomas** » Tue Aug 24, 2010 2:17 pm

Judging from the nonsense I went through looking for those new GI Joe figures, it could take a week or two for the new Transformers to make their way east to CT where I live. In any case, I can't wait!

I can't believe my eyes Ohio gets their first sighting of something for once.

Just a few short days after Generations Red Alert and Cybertronian Soundwave were released in Hong Kong, they've appeared at US retail. TFW2005 member exomega255 has found both figures in a Toys'R'Us in Carle Place, New York.
