I found listings for the Voyager class Beast Hunters as described in the Walmart system.
I've put what I believe they are in parentheses. The fourth one has me perplexed.

BST OP (OPTIMUS PRIME)

BST DR (DRAGON ie. PREDKING)

BST SHKW (SHOCKWAVE)

KNT TL (?)

BST UM (ULTRA MAGNUS)

You successfully called Deluxe Bulkhead, Starscream and Smokescreen, so I'm getting slightly optimistic at the prospect of a good Shockwave

Beautiful! Can't wait to see Shocky! I'm wondering what UM's spikey upgrade will look like. :lol:

Interesting that they would give us another voyager UM (most likely retooled) when we are getting a Weaponizer one as well. That's a lot of toys for a non show character which hopefully we will see him in season 3.

A voyager shockwave will be most welcome and hopefully we see more of him in the show since he was in the season 3 teaser.

Watch as a goof it's gonna be DOTM Shockwave with a bunch of add-on pieces like the deluxe Beast Hunters.

But regardless get them on pegs will you Walmart?! I went to a local Walmart and there was nothing I mean nothing on the pegs. I expected to see nothin' and 50 BB's but there was not one damn TF. :VEHI:

Are we sure it's Voyagers, though? Could it not be that the undecipherable code in fourth position marks the end of Voyagers and beginning of Weaponizers?

I seriously have no idea how Wal*Mart works, being in Europe and everything, but I can't think of anything fitting that fourth entry. :-?

I stopped trusting these Walmart "listings". Been let down way too many times by them.

I'd trust this one. He called Deluxe Starscream & Smokescreen correctly, why would he be pulling our string now?

But hey, believe what you want. Your reasons for not trusting them are understandable.

Considering other Walmart listings look like:

TRA VOY OPTIMS PRIM (UPC 65356959497)

I'm highly skeptical of this list.

'Course we already know Optimus and Predaking are coming, Shockwave is practically guaranteed anyways, KNT TL is so vague it could be anything (even non-TF), which leaves Ultra Magnus... who everyone is predicting is going to be some kind of important given he's supposed to get a Weaponizer toy on top of the other two and seemingly cameoed in Prime already, which makes me even more skeptical of this list.

Not to mention he's a plot device and character in the Rage of the Dinobots comic series.

I understand the skepticism with my listings. Each listing did begin TRA PRM... I chose to skip it because it was not really note worthy. I can get UPC's too. And just to be clear the name in parenthesis are my guesses not facts and nothing is written in stone.

New Transformers Prime "Beast Hunters" Voyager listings found? That's what the latest rumor making it's way around the internet would have us to believe. These listings are said to have come from Wal-Mart's computer system, and appear to reveal three previously unknown upcoming Voyager Class figures.

The first two listings seem to match up with Voyager Wave 1, Optimus Prime and Predaking.

TRA PRM BST OP - Optimus Prime, pretty straight forward.

TRA PRM BST DR - Predaing, the DR likely meaning dragon.

Things get more interesting when we examine the next three listings.

TRA PRM BST SHKW - Shockwave would make sense. He's a popular character, we know he will appear in Season 3 "Beast Hunters", and Hasbro has yet to release him in toy form. Could be a situation similar to the recently revealed "Beast Hunters" Deluxe Smokescreen.

TRA PRM BST UM - Ultra Magnus also seems likely. He's already received two figures in the previous "Robots in Disguise" line, he's currently appearing in the Transformers Prime: Rage of the Dinobots miniseries which leads into Season 3, we already know he's going to get a Weaponizer class figure in the "Beast Hunters" line. The question being would this figure be a new mold, or a spiky retool of his existing Voyager Class figure.

TRA PRM KNT TL - ?, speculate away on this one.

Keep in mind Toy Fair is less than a month away, so we won't have to wait too long to see if these listing are accurate.

Here are the listings as reported by Seibertron.com Ominous Prime-Evil

TRA PRM BST OP

TRA PRM BST DR

TRA PRM BST SHKW

TRA PRM KNT TL

TRA PRM BST UM

BST is probably the abbreviation used for the Beast Hunters line, which makes KNT all the more interesting. Can't be Cyberverse, as that would be CYB, so I'm leaning more towards Kre-O. With that, TL gives a match: Trailcutter vs. Grimwing.

Hmmm, I really hope this means we will in fact be getting a TF Prime Shockwave!

When exactly is Toy Fair?

The TF facebook page hinted at some surprising reveals related to TFP Beast Hunters. I guess we'll find out soon enough!

If Weaponizers are the way forward, then i'm becoming a Cyberverse collector.

Don't knock the cyberverse lines, they've been doing some great little molds.

I'm not. I'd much rather collect them ahead of that Weaponizer crap.

Cyberverse do what Transformers are suppose to do. Transform. And they look good in both modes and don't have any sacrifices made because of some stupid gimmick.

That's not to say there aren't sacrifices made at all.

Praise the Allspark if this is true! Finally, a Voyager Shockwave! :KREMZEEK:

If not... damn you for getting my hopes up. :sad:

Like, damn you forever.

In a fire.

Pain.

...

Anyway, I agree with the assessment on that third listing: Kre-O

Shockwave - Hell yeah!!! Just hope they don't **** it up. :MAXIMAL:

I have heard stray talk of a weaponizer UM, so who knows? My question is, Why is he getting 4 toys in the same universe? Especially since before all this hes been getting very little attention. His Prid toy, like Beast OP has fake bits...

Does all this add up to them being in the show? I hope so.
