ZeroWolf wrote:Greetings Seibertronians! Fans of Beast Wars were overjoyed to learn that the Beasts were coming to the third, and final part of the War for Cybertron Trilogy, a few absentees were quickly noticed from the leaked toy breakdowns. Well one of them may be heading our way after all!

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Nuclearxpotato, and with further details added by JTPrime17, we've learned of two new Listings that have been added to amazon.au (the Australian branch of everyone's favourite conglomerate). These listings talk about 'Golden' Deluxes Terrorsaur and Ranger Puffer!

The extra details added by JTPrime17 include the hidden prices of these two deluxes as well as EANs and product numbers.

JTPrime17 wrote:Doing a history check on the listings....

The listings where added by Amazon them selves into their system on January 12th.

They both have hidden Prices on Amazon AU.

Puffer Ranger: $77 AUD

Terrorsaur: $34 AUD

And Finally they both have Registered Hasbro Product numbers and Registered EAN’s that were submitted by Hasbro UK.

Terrorsaur
EAN: 5010993914487
Product Number: F2813

Ranger Puffer:
EAN: 5010993914456
Product Number F2810

While Terrorsaur needs little explaining, being one of the Core Season 1 cast Predacons missing (along with Tarantulas), Ranger Puffer needs a little more detail. The hidden price seems to indicate that it might be a multi pack of figures, and Puffer is a little known character that will utilise the Kingdom Wave 2 Deluxe Class Huffer mold. Ranger on the other hand is an unknown as there is a character called Ranger who hails from the Japanese Transformers Super God Masterforce anime and toyline (being part of the Japanese G1 continuity). Ranger was a redeco of the Powermaster Joyride.

The listings themselves read a bit strange but that is normal placeholder text until the real description is wrote and added.

What do you think about these listings? Hoping for a completely new mold for Terrorsaur?

Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

The other one is probably the Gobot Road Ranger

Oops made a typo in my last post Ranger Puffer is Product number F2820 not F2810.

Honestly, after getting Airrazor in hand today, I instantly realized how easy it would be to re-tool her into Terrorsaur and decided that was proof enough he was coming. So this actually doesn't surprise .e.

"Puffer Ranger" sounds like a new drug-themed incarnation of Power Rangers! Did Hasbro really buy the franchise just to sabotage the most dangerous competition to their core robot toy brand?!?

And as for Terrorsaur, the Pred I found myself identifying with the most, my hopes have shot sky high...just waiting for the crash when the other shoe drops. No reason to be pessimistic, except that he's the most overdue for a Kingdom update, so I just worry something will finally go horribly wrong.

That seems unlikely. Terrorsaur has a completely different transformation. I doubt they'd change it when so many other Kingdom figures are faithful to their original BW styles.

We're already getting a retool of her as BWII Skywarp... or Eagle Silverbolt, according to rumor.

Having just returned from looking at the galleries for Terrorsaur, since Ive never seen him before, I can say it is most certainly going to be a new mold. Which is good! We defiantly need some more Predacons to back up poor lonely beast mode Megs.

On an unrelated yet similar note, Terrorsaur's Transmetal 2 form looks .. alot cooler :lol:

Almost wish thats the version they go with

I'll make the edit to the news post now

News Credits: 2 · Sat Mar 27, 2021 5:31 pm

I'll be honest, I'm a little disappointed. They've been so good with robot mode scale in Kingdom so far, I was hoping if they did Terrorsaur they would make him a voyager. He was one of the larger characters in season 1 (if memory serves, he was taller than Primal, roughly the same height as Tigatron and Rhinox, both of whom are apparently getting voyagers).

News Credits: 51 · Sat Mar 27, 2021 6:39 pm

Yay, Terrorsaur! I mean, he's the one of the 3 missing Predacons I was actually least excited for, but that's still exciting that we're getting him, more BW is always good. Plus it means potential for at least a Fractyl as well, and maybe more new Beast stuff if this Amazon's Kingdom equivalent of last year's Galactic Odyssey stuff.

Assuming the other one is a set of Road Ranger and Puffer as is being speculated....well, I know what Road Ranger looks like, and assuming he gets a new head sculpt to match the original toy rather than Huffer's cartoon face, I'd be all-on him as my first version of the mold (assuming this would release before the Pipes retool). Never heard of Puffer though, is that some kind of Huffer-Pipes mold Bumblejumper situation?

So, by proxy, wouldn't the implication suggest someone Bigger is also coming to the Kingdom line?

Indeed. He and Waspinator had two of the best Transmetal designs in the line. Unfortunate that neither made it into the show.

Nope, standalone release like the pre-CW limb releases

Nemesis Primal wrote:Never heard of Puffer though, is that some kind of Huffer-Pipes mold Bumblejumper situation?

Nope, but... this may be a long shot, but it's either Pipes with a new name ("Pipes" as a noun is hard to trademark), or it could be a character based on a... quirky method of releasing the S3 Mini-Bots by IGA in Mexico.
You know the Season 3 Mini-bots (outside of Wheelie) were retooled from the original Microchange molds used for Season 1, right? Well, IGA decided to make them straight redecos instead. In other words, the IGA release of Pipes was just Huffer in Pipes' colors! A similar release was found in Europe, affectionately named "Puffer".

"Puffer" courtesy of TF-1.com

That is, that's the theory extrapolated from only two confirmed carded releases. Plus, IGA figures managed to find their way to Europe (especially the Netherlands). A lot is still unknown.

People should do more partnering up on these exclusives.

Even I might have been interested in a modern Magnaboss...

Puffer Ranger could be a CC Depth Charge. Doubting they have lost the name but hey. If we are meant to be gettign more CCs and lesstitans it could be a thing.

Terrorsaur might have color change paint for when he is invincible though it's likely just a chromed up version of him with a standard version released in retail.

More figures is good anyways whatever they are but it's a shame they are Amazon exclusives.

There is no retail Terrorsaur (not in Kingdom anyway, 2022? Who knows) it's likely that this Terrorsaur will be standard colours, just as how Counter Punch only ever saw release as Amazon Exclusives.

Looking at the price, Ranger Puffer is definitely not CC, as once the class goes twice a year, the price goes up by 20, so you're looking at $100.

Nice to hear that there will indeed be a new Terrorsaur, I'm not even that worried about it being an Amazon exclusive, because as far as I can tell Terrorsaur is nowhere near as popular a character as Ironhide, Prowl, Ratchet or the Coneheads, so I can't see demand being THAT high for it. I'm guessing "Ranger Puffer" is just a typo and the figure won't actually be called Puffer. It probably is either Road Ranger or at least an homage to him.

News Credits: 6 · Sun Mar 28, 2021 8:16 am

Considering how hard they have leant into the number of Seekers in WFC, I wouldn't be surprised if Terrorsaur was confirmed. His original mold did at least have four redecos attached to it. Five, if you count the weird one from AOE.

More likely a double pack looking at the price and Puffer is a huffer redeco...as the Puffer name does correspond to a deco of the mold

News Credits: 6 · Sun Mar 28, 2021 1:04 pm

Which deco would they use, however? :-?

Sun Mar 28, 2021 1:16 pm

and then a re release of the 90s mold right after.

Well, Rodimus with the Matrix chamber open has leaked/been revealed. I think it looks pretty nice, especially cause it's like the MP where the Matrix can now function as the engine in car mode :lol:

Megatron is so cool. I cannot talk enough about how much fun he is.

Sun Mar 28, 2021 4:42 pm

The matrix chamber on Roddy was expected but love the details it has. Lots of nice shots Dmax! I've been diligently waiting to spot Beast Megs in the wild, I've arrived to my local target just a day too late after a new Leader case gets put out a couple times now :evil:
