HasbroToyShop.com has posted the new listing of Transformers Deluxe Class Darksteel.

Below is the biography of Darksteel:

"DARKSTEEL is a traditionalist. As a student of the most respected DECEPTICON warrior on CYBERTRON, he learned there is no substitute for a razor-sharp blade and clever mind. Blasters and cannons get the job done, but may fail in the heat of battle. The blade never falters!"



No official date has been posted on the release date of this figure other than "Coming Soon".

Seibertron, Ultimate Transformers Resource!

[Giant Purple Griffin]

Interesting. I wonder who the "most respected Decepticon warrior on Cybertron" is.

Also, there's "coming soon" listings for Air Raid and Armor Topspin up on HTS too.

[fenrir72]

Megatron (the original) or Dynobot?

[Dogma]

Whoa. Armor Topspin's robot mode is ugly. No color at all. Assuming that the picture in question at HST is accurate, he is going to need a coat of paint. Why they chose to screw up bots as badass as the wreckers is beyond me. Hopefully the two pack of him (twin twist) is better.

I'd maybe pick him up for the weapons or just alt mode display because I love the wreckers.

[BIGGUY007]

Sounds like he's a bit of a bad ass. I might pick him up, if it isn't a TRU or Target Exclusive cause all I got is a K-Mart and a Walmart.

[prowl123]

I will get this one.

[Godzillabot Primal]

Okay, not Quickstrike

[El Duque]

HasbroToyShop.com has several new items listed back in-stock and available to order with slightly delayed ship dates. You can once again purchase Transformers DOTM deluxe class Darksteel, Air Raid, and Autobot Armor Topspin as well as the Cyberverse playsets for Shockwave and Ratchet.

TRANSFORMERS DARK OF THE MOON MECHTECH Deluxe Class DARKSTEEL

The armaments he carries into battle are some of the most inventive and devastating in the AUTOBOT arsenal! It's an AUTOBOT-DECEPTICON smackdown, and you've got the ultimate warrior for good with your AUTOBOT ARMOR TOPSPIN figure! In robot mode, this figure has the blaster he needs to take on all comers.

Armor Topspin is an easy pass for me. Darksteel I'll pick up, and Air raid.... hmmmm, Perhaps in scale with my Cyberverse and I'll make a decision on him if/when I see him close up.

[kirbenvost]

It's too bad Armor Topspin isn't a remold. These area all passes for me. The only one that halfway interests me is Darksteel and I'm not interested in the character nor the color scheme.

[Diem]

I wants me some Neo Quickstrike so bad. I am not even kidding.

[xyl360]

Preordered Darksteel & Air Raid, thanks for the heads-up !

[Megatron Wolf]

is it just me or does topspin look like a KO in that picture? Leave it to hasbro to frak up a black repaint.

[Dogma]

All are up for pre-order. I'm conflicted on Topspin...I like his vehicle mode but damn is he ugly in robot mode!

[PrymeStriker]

Armor Topspin, what happened to you!? One day, I'm looking at your robot mode, thinking it's a nice redeco, then you look like a complete geek in this picture...

Anyways, excited for Darksteel, and Air Raid will be a nice addition to my collection, even if he does look scrawny in the legs...

[xyl360]

Wow, Air Raid and Darksteel are already sold out on HTS, though Topspin is still available (guess I'm not the only one that didn't read the comics/has no desire for Wreckers ).

[freakzero1981]

i could careless about all three,waiting for the 2 masterpiece unicrons i scored on amazon.besides theres always ebay for these,and i hardly trust hasbro if you want a mint package.but the darksteel is the only sure win.

[Seibertron]

Man I keep missing out on this Darksteel figure when it goes up on HTS.

[Seibertron]

[freakzero1981]

i try and save where i can,and i know hasbro will charge for shipping besides full price($11.99) unlike walmart's $9.88 price tag. and theres no guarantee i will get my items from hasbro in a c-8 or better condition,because i don't open my collection even though i have doubles of some.just that frickin picky bout my display collection.aww well guess i gonna have to wait it out.

[freakzero1981]
