It's literally Play-Doh, kids are supposed to bury the energon cubes in it and dig them out, no idea why. Alternatively you can use it to put a big black hole in Magnus' chest.

Because energon is a mineral that is mined, so the black Play-Doh represents the earth in which the energon is buried and must be dug out of.

"Now you can be just like the Transformers and find energon like a true miner!"

SS Leadfoot is in stock on Target.com again. Ordered myself one and then ordered Topspin (who is on pre-order for $18.89) since I'm now confident I can get all 3. I'm trying to order Roadbuster on Amazon, but the stupid cart keeps changing the price from $18.84 to $34.99. :BANG_HEAD:

U.K. retailer InDemand Toys has posted a slew of product images for upcoming toys, and from multiple lines, to boot! Seibertronian Shiningstar7896 alerted us to the Facebook post containing in-package images of Studio Series 70 B-127, Studio Series 71 Dino, R.E.D Arcee and Cheetor, the "Retro" Headmaster reissues, and the Ghostbusters Afterlife version of Ectotron. Feast your eyes on these new images below!

There are a couple of interesting things to note about these releases. First and foremost, Ectotron comes packaged in blister packaging, rather than the retro style box that his first release came in. Those retro style boxes look great on the Headmaster "reissues", and though the Headmaster partners retain their Titans Return name spellings, Weirdwolf actually gets his original name back, having been called "Wolfwire" in the previous release of the mold. The R.E.D. releases of Prime Arcee and Cheetor showcase their Action-Master (aka non-transforming) style figures, though curiously, Cheetor's head appears to be cast in a bronze colored plastic, rather than the yellow and gold of his package art. And last, but not least, B-127 is confirmed to be the full official name of of the figure.

So what do you think of these new photos? Do you plan to pick up any of these figures? Please feel free to discuss these below!

It just hit me.

Do you guys suppose that the Bumblebee's Cybertronian name being "B-127" was chosen because 127 is an anagram for 217, as in "Ladiesman217"?

Probably not, but it's an interesting coincidence.

And I'm sure there are a lot of fans wetting their boy shorts over Dino right now.

Isn't B127 Bumblebee 's name in the Hearts of Steel comic?

It's what was written online as an answer to the question.

Well, before I responded, I skimmed over the the first two chapters of the story and he refers to himself as Bumblebee, even when introducing himself to John Henry.

Where was this online Q&A?

Not a q&a just a discussion online where someone asked the question. Just search on Google and you'll probably end up in the same TFW thread. It's just someone's answer, I never read the comic.

That part is rather confusing since usually, releases with comics are just for the US (or international importers) but this also has multiple languages on the box. :???:

Plot twist, the speech bubbles just have the dialogue in 30 languages. :-s

Is it still selling for that ridiculous amount we saw earlier or has the price dropped to a reasonable price.

I'm excited for Dino, Ectotron, and Arcee. Eck should be shipping here soon too, he's supposed to arrive next week. And since my Vertebreak and Gigatron just shipped I expect him to ship too.

I didn't preorder Arcee, I tried once and had it cancelled, so I'll wait until its in stores.

Dino I preordered from Pulse, really excited for him.

I'm also considering Highbrow, he is the one headmaster reissue that I like, and I like how he looks a lot
