IIRC, TF6 skywarp and thundercracker are the amazon and target exclusives, but I don't recall which is which.

I copied & saved this from a while back but I don't remember where from. I don't know how accurate it is:

There will supposedly be a whole Shatterred Glass line exclusive to Hasbro Pulse. The characters in that line are said to be Jetfire, Megatron, Starscream and Goldbug.

There will be 3 additional exclusive seekers based on the Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Starscream mold and they will all be exclusive:

Thundercracker is Amazon exclusive
Skywarp is Walmart exclusive
Thrust is Target Exclusive

That info is from a legit source, multiple people here have seen the same thing, but it's months old and having actual store listings for Thrust at this point means that's what should be gone off of as the most accurate. I'm pretty sure the guy who first mentioned these said there's more Seekers than that planned as exclusives at this point anyway.

Old news, new leaks have said this is no longer the case. Everything is subject to change hence why its not announced yet.

As of right now, Thrust is not an exclusive.

Also as of right now, I have him on pre-order from Amazon from the wishlist trick, so we can at least expect him to be available there.

I hope our Fan first Friday isn't just SG Starscream and 3 SS86 releases. Give us more Bayverse SS, please, I am begging you.

OH THANK GOD!!! If Target gets any exclusives this year, I hope it's nothing I want.

Just a quick reminder to all fans out there that in about half an hour, Hasbro will have a Fan First Friday event featuring new Transformers reveals. This will probably have the wave 4 Kingdom toys and we have yet to actually see one of them, Slammer, fully. It will start at 11 EST.

You can view it on their youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/hasbropulse

Are you ready to #RollOut, Transformers fans?! Join the Transformers team this Friday, August 13th, at 11:00am ET on the Hasbro Pulse YouTube channel as they deliver some PRIME news about your favorite brand! You don't want to miss out!

Thank You

. I can never find the links usually until after the panels are well under way. I am ready. 8-)

Perceptor looks absolutely fantastic. I love that the tank mode was included

It's a nice touch that the sweep has slightly brighter blue

And that coronation starscream, wow! So worth the wait! I like that his hands open and close now. The cape is pretty cool, and that throne is better than I expected

News Credits: 56 · by **o.supreme** » Fri Aug 13, 2021 10:30 am

Kind of hilarious, at the 30 minute mark they revealed 3 new SS86. Talked about TF:TM September fathom Events, and recapping SG, but all the comments are just "We Want Kingdom" :lol:

...oh wow, so that was a total waste of time, those 3 SS reveals were in the first 10 minutes. No Kingdom, no Haslab... August 27th come back for "Something special"

News Credits: 4835 · by **william-james88** » Fri Aug 13, 2021 10:37 am

So it turns out that once again, the only toys revealed were Studio Series 86 toys, because clearly that is all that matters now. However, they did give time to 2 mobile games featuring Transformers along with showing us the Shaterred Glass toys again. below is a list of the reveals.

SS86 voyager Sweep, is a brighter blue than Scourge. And has different Blast effect.

SS86 deluxe Perceptor coming in 2022, triple changer with official tank mode.

SS86 leader Coronation Starscream, partial of earthrise Starscream with new extra bits and comes with a purple throne. Deco is more plain for a more movie accurate look.

Leaders will be closed box like MPs from here on out.

Next we have a look at the programable Optimus Prime. New preorders will be available at 1 pm with other preorders, since the previous ones sold out.

They then showed all the Shaterred glass toys and comics we are getting.

After that, we got not one but TWO trailers for mobile games featuring Transformers crossovers. One is the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

Wow, how underwhelming.

News Credits: 11 · by **Overcracker** » Fri Aug 13, 2021 10:45 am

Definitely getting Starscream. Loving that throne. And his new articulated hands.

Perceptor looks real nice. But don't think I'm going out of my way to get him. If I find him, sure.

Everything else, meh...

Why didn't they show Kingdom Wave 4 I mean the most of the wave has been leaked already. I wanted to preorder Tigatron :roll:

This was lackluster as hell.

Really? Where are pics of Slammer?

They mentioned the Kickstarter chess set with this as well, and it's so expensive to start with, but what really got me, is the that they have additional "replacement" kings of Rodimus Prime and Galvatron, not as a stretch goal, but as a different level.

I'm sorry, at the price They're charging those should be stretch goals that are included if you pledged the full board.

Ugh, Leader class in boxes so you can't scope the paint job before buying. MP can get away with that as at the price they (seem) to put care into the painting, but I've seen Leader paint jobs I've passed on before and now it's going to be down to luck. Hasbro really, really wants me to move on from buying TFs it seems.

I should have said just Tigatron Shadow Panther and Waspy have been leaked reviewed early.

That was painfully boring. Only a fraction of that stream was dedicated to toy reveals. I don't get why they're taking so long to show Kingdom wave 4. Wave 3 has already been out for a bit, and we haven't received any official word on what's next.

by **Mistaken_Table** » Fri Aug 13, 2021 10:57 am

Jeez, they revealed 1 figure, and it was just another Perceptor!

At least all the dodgy theft business is showcasing upcoming figures.

Are you allergic to money, Hasbro?

Obviously they are not, because they chose to take the pile of cash sent to them by the 2 mobile game companies to showcase their commercials instead of showing figures fans will be buying anyways.

Judging by the comments in the livestream I'm not so sure. I'm an old man who has no interest in mobile games. But the young fans who do enjoy mobile games have no interest in seeing original series characters. I'm not sure who these games were designed for? Yeah cut scenes and "original animated series theme" in the background look and sound cool, but still not compelling me to play this.

Many fans wonder when an actual Transformers game is going to come out, not just skins on to other mobile app games.

At least we got that awesome Chess Set which I am sure barley anyone will purchase. :roll:

I already have ER Starscream. This new leader class is $50+ just for a box, throne, cape, crown & shoulder pads. It's basically another overpriced 3rd party upgrade kit only this time it's not 3rd party. I don't usually waste my money on upgrade kits. And that scene in the movie isn't important enough. I would have been all over it if Starscream had actually become the new leader of the Decepticons for a while. If I get this new Starscream I would probably repaint the ER version into one of those all violet Air Warriors.

The only thing new here is Perceptor & I don't need another Perceptor. My TR figure is just fine. I'm done with that character. I already checked him off my list. I'm trying to get 1 good updated version of every G1 character (That's why I'm always bitching about the deluxe Insecticons). I'm trying not to keep wasting money on the same characters over & over again. So once a character is checked off my list I'm not buying it again. I want to be finished with my collection someday. I don't want to collect forever.
