There is a Predaking coming from Takara in their T-SPARK range, but it's super high-end diecast expensive and heavily anime-stylized (seen the 15th-19th images of this news post).

Supposedly Jalopy is a brown and gray Jazz repaint from the Marvel comics, but it isn't on TFWiki and could just be a fan creation, but also then why wouldn't he be part of the SS Comics offset? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I suspect the "Unicron Soldier" will either be a reuse of Megatronus or just code for The Fallen.

The "DTC Pro" being an exclusive probably means direct to consumer promotion and not professional. Probably for Amazon Day or even PulseCon.

Odd, not sure it has an y other repaints beyond galavtron. Don't think they'd ego for the Black Megatron though.

Could just be a simple package refresh of the normal Armada Megatron from Legacy Evolution. Not entirely sure why, though, since he wasn't particularly hard to find.

Why is he an exclusive?

Same reason Bumblebee and Gears were: because the Retro line is exclusive to Walmart.

I thought they weren't doing straight PRs anymore.

What they said was that they weren't doing them close together any more. No more of the same figure showing up twice within the same series year.

We don't have a deluxe wheelie like Gears or Bumblebee , so either they're using the Core class, not sure anyone is "wheeling" to pay 25 bucks for , or they're making a new mold that starts off being exclusive.
Much like VW Bee for Netflix.

More like Cosmos so they can use it in the main line later without being locked in like Bee was for so long. Don't forget that we're getting Seaspray in this line later this year, too.

Unicron Soldier made me think of transformers prime unicron
That it'd just be a leader class unicron figure and they call it Soldier to avoid pissing too many people off lol

Product Number: G2266

Reports are coming in on what the contents of the 4-pack are.

We knew before from previous leaks that two of the figures in the set would be Horri-Bull and Animated Nemesis Prime, but now the remaining two are being reported as Bumper and Ultra Magnus (probably just a redeco of either the Deluxe class Studio Series Gamer Edition Devastation Optimus Prime or the Deluxe Legacy United "toy" Optimus Prime).

Apparently it's a Legacy Toy Optimus repaint and Bumper is SS86 Bee with new head & feet, but also that's the wrong multipack listing since that's from the new 2026 stuff and the set being talked about is a 2025 Target release we've known was coming.

Windcharger is already listed for SS86 next year.

Same problem as always with these multipack, one Bot I think I'd like to get is trapped behind a $100 price tag with 2-3 other Bots I don't need or want. I'd probably get Bumper for the novelty of it if is were a solo release.

Thats how I felt with the previous 4 pack that had prime Cliffjumper. Now I want this one for horri-bull and none of the others. Sigh

Ironically, 3 years after the release of the first Target 4 pack with Fangry, he will get an individual release, I guess if you are willing to wait a couple more years Squeezeplay & Horribull might get ones as well

I usually always think of animation first, but when I saw Unicron Soldier, THIS is the first image that came into my mind:

With regards to Unicron soldier, it would be cool if we do the thing where the repaint/retool comes first, and it was Prime Unicron Megatron, and then a leader Prime Megatron was released in the future

Got a shipping notice for Star Prime. I kept checking the status and it would say something like "order placed" without a release date, even the other day. I heard Deep Discount also shipped, but didn't think Amazon would be so quick, too. This right after getting the Spinister/Twin Twist set and other stuff eating into my budget...

That's weird, I got a new delivery estimate yesterday for Star OP for September 5th.

Something weird is going on at Amazon, dates got moved all over.

Yeah, because it was the SS Constructicon Commander set that I got the September release notice for. Also got a notice that Silverbolt was coming in July, but I've heard rumors that those two had their release dates swapped. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯



And tracking does show movement, but I've had things show movement all the way up to delivery date only to hit a several months delay. Again: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Emerje

My Silverbolt went from expected on November 3rd to July 16th.
We'll see if this holds-up; won't be surprised if it does.

I got a shipping notice from Amazon for Star Convoy. It was supposed to show up yesterday. Tracking said it was at the warehouse. Then nothing. Then I got the delay message and it said it would be today. No dice. Still says delayed. I have no idea what shipped, but I’m pretty sure I’m not getting anything.

I got a bunch of notices for things moving as well, but I am not worrying until I get a shipping notice. And I don't have Prime, so most of you will get shipping notices first

That Sandstorm vs Slugslinger 2-pack looks really cool, but I have no attachment to either of them.

Venin (because Venom is taken ha!), looks very nice, is he a new mold a heavy retool of someone?

Flatline is gorgeous. Was not really looking to pickup a repaint of Red alert, but damn, that just speaks to me.

Onyx is still a definite pickup.

Micronus is just hilarious with his unicycle mode.

Alpha Trion's head looks like someone cosplaying as him with a cheap mustache. Do like the Book and quill as well as the Autobot badge.

Thankfully I chose not go in with the Aerialbots, so can completely ignore these 2.


I'll likely pre-order Onyx maybe Venin and Flatline. Micronus and Alpha might need to wait until later if they get discounted or something.

During the live stream (happening right now) they pointed out that Micronus' exosuit is a Weaponizer and can be taken a part (he's also a partsformer so he isn't like the Junkions). They also acknowledged that he's basically a Pretender which fans have been asking for so this could be hint at things to come in the future! I could see Micronus being a pre-tool for Vroom.

They make it sound like the Prime artifacts can do something. We had a leak for a "Sentinel Artifact Pack" which means he might be packed with all of them.

There's also pictures of the Selects G2 Dinobot 2 pack out there.

In terms of what was shown on the stream:

I'm definitely in for Venom, or "Venin". Both of those modes look sick... The "deluxe" Insecticons may end up being displayed in bug modes, and this Venin's may be my favorite of all 7.

Those G2 Dinobots will be very tempting, I'll probably preorder those, I'm just hoping the price isn't inflated.

Then that Onyx... What a cool, interesting, unique figure... This would be impressive even if there was only two modes. IF I end up passing on the Dinobots, I'll be strongly considering this prime.

I'm in for the Aerialbots. And thank you to Hastak for getting all five of these released in the same year. This is how it should go down for combiners. Now, Firefly looks a bit off to me in bot mode; seems like there's too much red. Although this is one where these will always be combined anyway. I've never liked Skydive's head/face sculpt, and even though this one for AotP may not be the most accurate, I think it looks great and actually like it.
Superion looks incredible to me. I know the lower legs are stout with how much the figures stick out of the back, but it still works well imo. I'm one who is really happy with the new combining system. Although I like Menasor way more as a character, I'm starting to think this Superion looks just as good if not a little better.

I really thought everything shown today looked good, but I'll be passing on everything else.

It's the younger Alpha Trion from "War Dawn", as seen in the middle of the pic below:

Hasbro Pulse had the first Transformers' Tuesday Live Steam in quite a while today. Nate and Mark hosted the stream today and wrapped up the 2025 product reveals for Age of The Primes Wave 3 before showing off a few exclusive sets.

For the final wave of Age of The Primes for 2025 Skydive and Fireflight rounded out the Aerialbots and Superion was shown in his fully combined mode. Venim (Venom) will add to a the Deluxe Insecticons. Micronus Prime finishes up the Deluxe assortment providing a RID 2015 Minicon look and a weaponizer exo-suit.

Voyager offerings provide Alpha Trion rocking a mustache and a remold of the Armada Red Alert as the Decepticon Medic Flatline.

The final Leader offering for AOTP in 2025 will be the Onyx Prime that was revealed at New York Toy Fair this year.

In addition to Age of the Primes, the Hasbro Team provided a look at the next Amazon Wreck 'N Doom two pack reissueing Titans Return Slugslinger (this time in a darker blue deco) and the Legacy Sandstorm in cartoon accurate colors and without the facemask.

The next Fan Channel Exclusive is a two pack of the G2 Dinobots consisting of Red Snarl and a Green Slug.

The final reveal was the Studio Series Revenge of the Fallen three pack of The Fallen, Megatron, and Soundwave.

All that was revealed cab be preorderd on Hasbro Pulse by premium members here:
