Worth noting that these were in Universal Studios Singapore best I can gather. They're carrying some of the QTF product as well. Still would be cool if they got to the states that way, these are actually pretty fun toys for what they are!

They are doing all in their power to tease us US guys without actually giving it to us :lol:

Some Taiwan Transformers fans had a big surprise today when they found not one but two totally new Transformers toys on their shopping shelves that had yet to be revealed in any way. In Toys 'R' us in Taiwan, a new Prowl and Jetfire were found and appear to be part of the GDO Cyber Battalion line, judging from the box, simplicity and mold used. Jetfire shares parts with Starscream while Prowl seems to be new. The only way for westerners (in the northern hemisphere) have been able to get these is either from south east asian online retailers or Universal Studios, where they were sold exclusively in the US.

With being near voyager size Prowl would look nice next to CW constructicons. Sadly I'll never own one but nice thought

A magical land called eBay exists! Sadly the wizardry used there is primarily utilized by scalpels for this type of product!

And why does Sky-Jetfire look so good?!?

Interesting, never knew there was a mysterious magical land run by sharp and pointy medical instruments.

what. they are still making these?

Wasn't this line also previously available in Brazil?
Such odd marketing. I feel like these would do well in the major markets just based on their simplicity.
You know, for the kids.

I DO like the looks of that Prowl!

They both look great - now why can't we have these in more countries instead of the Titan Changers that they do give us ?

Yes, hence why I mentioned the northern hemisphere.

This time jumping the retool gun paid off: Jetfire has different chest and wing pieces. Prowl is all new, I checked that one too. What design does he use though?

With a dash of Universe 2008 Prowl with the way the wheels end up. Clever.

Ooh, they're bringing this back! Nice!

Prowl actually looks very good to me! man I wish these were more readily available

News Credits: 11 · by **RAR** » Wed Mar 22, 2017 7:35 pm

Nobody feint but Prowl has knees !!

I was surprised to find out how big these are back when they came out originally - so I think they'd actually be great made smaller.

Not I mind them being bigger as they are still fun and it doesn't matter with Optimus, Megatron and Starscream anyway.

Perhaps if they are still making them they may offer a Thundercracker or Skywarp as well.

It still IS (And now they're even more expensible than before! :BANG_HEAD:

), but unfortunately I didn't see those new ones last time I've checked.

And the same goes to TR 2nd wave, aside from Ravage/Laserbeak legends. Oh well... :-(
