Greetings Seibertronians! We have word that Jtprime17 over at TFW2005.com has provided the community with some new listings regarding the Transformers R.E.D series! The new listings concern a Optimus Primal (in his Beast Wars Season 1 form, to match the forthcoming Cheetor, also in his season 1 form). The other listing however is for a Redeco Megatron which could be referring to a different paint scheme on the already released G1 Megatron. As there is no product descriptions on the listings, the fandom will have to imagine what it will look like for now.

The listings along with the EAN numbers are as follows:

R.E.D “Redeco” Megatron -$19.87
EAN: 5010993789016
Product Number: F0743

R.E.D BW Optimus Primal – $19.87
EAN: 5010993789023
Product Number: F0742

Don't forget to check out the latest Transformers Kingdom Galleries by site owner Seibertron! Voyager Class Optimus Primal is awaiting his turn in the photographers gaze as we speak!

What do you think Redeco Megatron will look like? Will you be adding Optimus Primal to your shelves to stand with his transforming counterparts? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I'm betting Megatron will be black like his Megatron X persona.

Also curious to see Primal after what they did with Cheetor

The coolest would be the vintage Marvel Comics Megatron. But licensing issues may be in the way.

Marvel Megatron is also proto-cartoon Megatron and early toy commercial Megatron (among other things) so there's no reason why it can't be done.

Can you be a wee bit more clear on what yopu are showing? Is that Soundwave from another line?

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Mon Dec 07, 2020 4:24 am

Looks to be a Soundwave from the Authentics budget line judging by the label (you can see a prime on the peg behind him). Appears to be a fixed mold toy, so I'm not sure the comparison is apt

Authentics didn't have any non-transforming toys.

It's a Titan Warrior/Titan Guardian.

AKA the reason why Walmarts in America don't sell Battle Masters or Micromasters, gotta save four pegs for these same figures they've been selling since Transformers Prime!

My Walmart set them in their own segmented cardboard tray on a shelf rather than on pegs.

That's how my local stores did it last year (when they weren't selling Leaders), during the post-Christmas reset they moved them to the pegs.

Red bee and red king starscream photos out, june relase more pics at zavvi. £21 each

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Fri Dec 11, 2020 3:20 pm

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to fellow Seibertron users, Shiningstar7896, and blackeyedprime, we've learned that thanks to UK toy stockists InDemandToys, and Zavvi; that two more entries have been revealed for the Transformers R.E.D line! The characters are Starscream and Bumblebee, both in their Generation 1 incarnations.

Starscream

Bumblebee

As you can see, Starscream comes with the accessories to recreate his coronation scene from the 1986 Transformers movie!

Preorders are open on both figures, retailing for the UK price of £20.99. They are expected June 2021.

What do you think of these figures? Will you be picking these up? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

The RED series would be a good time make toys out of some designs from the Bumblebee movie that did not transform,like Soundwave or Shockwave.

Day 346 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

News Credits: 11 · by **Lore Keeper** » Fri Dec 11, 2020 3:33 pm

Yes! This is the best news ever! We don't get nearly enough Starscream and Bumblebee toys! Hasbro has answered our prayers during this draught of Starscreams and Bumblebees! #blessed

by **cloudballoon** » Fri Dec 11, 2020 4:06 pm

Why weathering all of a sudden? Hasbro still hasn't learn that their designers/QC can't do weathering proper on their TF toys?

As saturated as SS & BBB are, gotta say, these looks leagues better than the first wave. I do want this BBB if I can't get my hands on the Netflix ER BBB.

That Starscream look great but even this Screamers fanboy have no need for it. HOWEVER, that Bee is a MUST. That's a Bee that will be relatively be MP scale, 100% toon accurate, no gribbles and bulls, completely affordable. No need for MP-45 when this RED Bee exist. ;)^

News Credits: 11 · by **Lore Keeper** » Fri Dec 11, 2020 5:14 pm

This would be a great line to get some of the IDW designs that don't translate well into transforming toys. There'd be no need to drop $50+ on a third party offering.

I’d probably get Starscream, but I know if I get Starscream I’d feel compelled to get the rest of them... guess it’ll be one of those “if I see him” deals.

Don’t need another Bumblebee, much less a non-transforming one. :roll:

I keep thinking that this RED toyline is pretty much modern day action masters. And as such, i think it would be neat if we see some action master characters like rad, jackpot, or slicer getting a figure in this line.

News Credits: 30 · by **DeathReviews** » Fri Dec 11, 2020 8:14 pm

The 3D renders make Starscream and Bumblebee look OK. But we know by now, that the actual figures will be made using el-cheapo soft rubber-plastic. So the actual products won't look nearly this crisp or vivid.

Sighhhhhhhhhh the ONE thing I was waiting on RED to do and they didn't. Why, why couldn't Starscream come with a gun mode Megatron? I have a Cobra Commander that NEEDS his Megatron.

Shapeway?

If they have it, nice, but good luck finding it. Shapeway have a weird search engine where the more words you add, the more search results you get. And 99% of those results are completely random crap.

If you have it, the gun-mode Megatron that comes with the Centurion Drone w/ weapons pack fits in CC’s hand, I’ve tried it before and although I’m not using it right now it looks amazing.
