I got MY copy of Vortex - that was the important thing! Not so fussed about the rest of the stuff, but Bruticus? He's necessary.

The CW version of Bruticus was OK, but in the end it was really just remolds of the Protectobots. And that's not good enough in the end - the Combaticons and Bruticus need original molds/figures.

Here's hoping they don't do to Brawl what they did in CW, with that horrible floppy waist/hinge....

Out of this line I definitely plan on getting all of the Primes, Aerialbots and Combaticons, the Wreck N Doom sets and Trypticon. Going to have to find a way to make it happen despite the cost of things these days lol.

At first glance AP didn't interest me at all but as I continue to scroll around the images the figure is growing on me!

I get this vibe looking at AP taking my thoughts of Tik-Tok from Return to Oz NOT the social media app. :-P

Seeing this image makes me realize that Carnivac would make a great Zoids crossover figure

Well it looks like Walmart Canada wasted no time in stocking the Transformers shelves after clearing them out in that crazy $3 sale. The wave 1 voyagers from Age of the Primes were found in Ontario Walmarts. The case content for voyagers is 1 Prima Prime and 2 Red Alerts. We thank Transformizer for the image below. The Mandalorian crossover figure was also found in Ontario Walmartz.

Toyworld in Australia has been getting these AOTP toys as well, even as far back as a month ago for leader class Megatronus.

Sweet merciful Heaven thank God the window is back on the boxes like they promised!

1 Prima and 2 Red Alert? In a line named after the Primes? I guess we know what figure will be shelfwarming for the first wave and beyond..

Well, hopefully that means some will soon be at US Walmarts. Goodness knows they've had nothing but Earthspark chum, and ONE leftovers for over four months...

Wasn't sure I'd got in on the Combaticons, but finally pre-ordered Vortex. We'll see if he holds up. He looks pretty good though.

Hopefully the rest of them aren't as difficult to get ahold of as the Stunticons. Still looking for a Dead End for mine.

Also, hopefully Blastoff is a shuttle from the get go, instead of getting a jet mode and then a super limited exclusive shuttle version down the road like CW.

The people who made that call back then are no longer in charge (or possibly even employed) at Hasbro anymore.

Not to revel on some guys' loss of employment, but that may be a good thing.

The decision was made as we learned later, due to CW being on such a strict budget. That's why most of the Voyagers were a retool of Silverbolt and there were really only 4 unique limb molds.

One of my local Walmarts still has three pegs full of Bee movie Arcee! Still at full price! Like they haven't even been trying to give these shelves some TLC and clearance this stuff out!

We already know from Vortex's box that he'll be a shuttle.

The wave 1 voyagers from Age of the Primes have been found at a GameStop in Houston, Texas. With how much distribution has changed of late, GameStop is more reliable than any other brick and mortar retailer in terms of stocking Transformers toys. The case content for voyagers is 1 Prima Prime and 2 Red Alerts. The photo comes from Rich.

The toys are also available on the GameStop website.

Every time this gets a new official mention, I get my hopes up for this design being redecoed mostly mint green with a little white for a wide release. That'll probably happen when I finally get around to repainting the one that's been on my workbench almost 2 decades.

by **Dino-Snarl** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 12:58 pm

They also reissued Devcon. Someone here asked for that. Enjoy!

Leige Maximo makes so much sense for Sideways

Also, its so weird seeing Excellion referred to as a legend of Cybertron feels so bizarre given that the character never appeared in the cartoon or its comics, and his only appearance in any media is a text-only story from Timelines

It might be a subtle wink to the old "Legends of Cybertron" Hot Shot toy, specifically the red version that used Excellion's deco but was inexplicably still named "Hot Shot" instead, as though referring to him as such now is trying to make up for that little goof and finally give him his due respect.

Going to be interesting once again to see Astrotrain and Blastoff displayed next to each other both being shuttles yet different sizes. lol
