That Megatron is a fan-customized version of Titans Return Megatron.

I really must remember to buy Jetfire and Prowl they go for about £20.00 on eBay at the moment.. which is a tricky price - just slightly to expensive to impulse buy - but not so expensive either.

I doubt they will show up in the UK unless somewhere like lidl gets them.
As I just know their toybuyer is gonna order the ugliest things they can find and not something someone would actually want - so likely more Titan changer PVCs.

I got Starscream and his KO already and I like those pretty much. I bet if someone had KO'd these with upper arm swivels and knees they'd have sold like gangbusters.

One of my local Walgreen's updated their toy display. Titans Return deluxes are now off the pegs and on the shelf with these Cyber Series boxes right next to them.

The only thing I keep looking for is knee articulation. It's a great figure and it's got my son excited for more.

So, I headed into my local Walgreens looking for clones and saw the Generations Batttalion Series (based on receipt) Prowl and had no idea what these were. Then I saw OP and remembered the big bot looking like an upscale of the IDW looking Legends version. I think Prime was at one of the conventions. Anyway, I saw the price and thought there was no way I'm spending $20 for one of these.

Then I saw Jetfire.

*sigh*

Yeah, I'm a sucker for Jetfire (even having a not-great-condition G1 toy). He's neat, has a simple, yet satisfying transformation. And after getting Nitro in the mail the other day, I am enjoying this figure even more.

Now, is he worth the $20 price tag. Nope, not even close. I'd pay $7-$10 for these, tops. Still, only minor regret at getting him...

I could see these being $15 or less if they were Walmart, Target, or Toys R Us. $20? Walgreens can price these per store - I think the only one that had a set price that was the same across all Walgreen's was their exclusive Brainstorm.

I've seen these at $17 or $18.

Yeah, it was $17.99, with tax, $19.27. So I was just calling it $20. Close enough... And too expensive!

I saw BB, Prowl, and Jetfire at 2 different Walgreens. I wonder if others like Grimlock will make their shelves? :-?

Unfortunately no signs of the Clones 2 pack. :BANG_HEAD:

Was at Disneyland today and stopped by the Walgreen's across the street. They've got their Battalion figures priced at $19.99. :/

Bumblebee still looks off to me with a G1-style head but Movie/Prime body.

Via the Peruvian fan group on Facebook Transformers Perù, we have a new set of listings of toys bound to arrive in stores and retailers in the country in the short to mid term future for a number of Transformers toylines. The highlight of the post, in the images seen below, is twofold: alongside Generations Power of the Primes deluxes and the Authentics line (which we are already seeing across the globe), we have some more figures for Cyber Battalion - the voyager-esque sized simplified toys, including Jetfire (again), Prowl, Shockwave, and Sideswipe!

Check out the image and the wave breakdown below, and join the discussion in the Energon Pub!

Transformers: Cyber Battalion

Cyber Battalion Prowl
Cyber Battalion Shockwave
Cyber Battalion Sideswipe
Cyber Battalion Jetfire

I wonder if Shockwave and Sideswipe will be new figures or retools of existing ones like Jetfire was? Maybe retools of Megatron and Bumblebee?

Even if I only get a shockwave at the level of the Optimus prime out of this, I'm happy.

Wed Feb 07, 2018 10:36 am

Kinda disappointed they aren't including Megatron with the upcoming Cyber Battalion. Never found one of those. He seems to be the short packed character, and pretty much the only one I was truly interested in.

Got a couple. They're definitely cheaper plastic and design. Much less articulation. But as a plus, they are a decent size and make for a good representation of the character on the cheap if you just stand them on the shelf in the back. For instance, Jetfire looks pretty decent in both modes and is pretty big. Jet is almost as big as the recent main line one. But, yeah, he's still pretty bad.

News Credits: 1 · Wed Feb 07, 2018 1:24 pm

I own (and love) the Jetfire from this line. Yes, it's simple, but it looks good, it's sturdy, and it's not a nightmare to transform. I am allllll about Shockwave.

Product codes! Lovely lovely product codes! *swims in them, throws them in the air and has them land on his head*

Ahem, sorry. Everything has been logged, and crosschecked, and can confirm that Prowl and Jetfire are reissues, not redecos like that second Cyber Commander Optimus Prime was. I will hazard a guess that Shockwave and Sideswipe will be retools of Megatron and Prowl respectively, on the level of Starscream into Jetfire.

Fantastic news, best toys Hasbro has made in years.

Starscream doesn't seem to be particularly common either, and I don't think Grimlock got released in the States at all. Which is a shame, since I kinda wanted that Grimlock.
