Another 10 years is fair, but there are still several other Titans that could be made in the interim, not sure why everyone always obsesses over Metroplex.

And how many of those aren't just repaints of previous Titans, like Metrotitan and Grand Maximus?

100% agree, some retooled hands and head and you could have a great Selects Titan

100% disagree, I don't think an Animated Omega retool would work at all. The transformation scheme is completely different.

It may not be the same, but honestly, this might be the only chance we have at an Animted Omega Supreme in any capacity.

As for the Nemesis, rumor mill right now is that there will be a Haslab TF again this year, $300 price range. Rumor is Star Saber/Victory Leo set, but could also be a transforming Nemesis to counter the Ark

I think the rumor was $200

I've been re-shuffling my collection displays around today, having decided that at some point this year I will buy the Ark. I'm kind of wanting to have the Ark crew line-up from the Netflix series as my main Autobot display, I'm just missing Hound, Sideswipe, Mirage and Cog, though I'm probably not going to buy a Cog. If I get both Battle Across Time sets, I would have to also re-do my Maximal shelf to fit Grimlock and Skywarp, and right now I'm not sure if the two sets will be worth the price. I may wait and see what happens with Hound, whether he gets an Earth mode retool or not, because the aftermarket prices for both the Siege and Netflix versions are pretty high now.

Hilarious considering Hound was THE pegwarmer of that wave.

I saw siege Hound on bbts or Amazon for under $20 USD just yesterday I think

Greetings Seibertronians! Cast your minds back to the heady time of this April past, the last time we heard about the Transformers Kingdom Worlds Collide multipack set. There we got the DPCI, and the price. We'll thanks to an anonymous Target employee, we now also have a date it should be appearing on store shelves!



Yes, that's right, according to the image, this set should be appearing on Target shelves from the 21st of July! There is still no news on what figures will be in this set, but as pointed out by fellow Seibertron news Staff member, William-james88, the price does work out to roughly 4 deluxes...

What figures do you think will end up in this set?

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

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

I think it was discovered some time ago that this pack was actually a Buzzworthy thing. Which probably means it's four different Bee mold reissues and we won't get any information until the thing actually appears in stores.

I could be misremembering, however.

There have been toys in Buzzworthy Bumblebee that haven't been Bumblebees, like Studio Series Shatter and a Cyberverse Spark Armour Megatron. If the Worlds Collide set is in Buzzworthy, that could mean there's a good chance there'll be at least one Bumblebee in there.

You’re not misremembering.

Depending on the store system you look this set up in it comes up as the following.

Tra Target Kingdom 4 pack

Or...



Both have the same product and EAN number.

So the Set looks to be apart of Buzz worthy and Kingdom. As to what it includes, I don’t know.

Sounds to me like another one of those sets where you have to pay $80 for a set that only has just 1 figure of value. Like: "Hey look! It's a new Deluxe class Shrapnel but oh... It comes with 2 Fossilizers and a lime green Rattrap."

Pending contents, of course.

I don't think that I'm alone in saying that I would love a Packrat repaint. I think the cool thing about BW figures is the long list of cool potential repaints that you can get out of them, just looking at the figures on my desk, they could do any of the dinobot/grimlock remolds, a shadow panther or McDonald's panther out of cheetor, they could do a crystal widow inspired retool/repaint of blackarachnia, a nightbird out of airazor... heck they could even get freaky with it and give us a purple shattered glass primal and go in that direction

Certainly a lot more interesting than rereleasing sideswipe with a a new car deco 4 times a year

Well if I had to make a solid guess based on existing molds...Tarantulas, Tigertron are easy guesses.

The darker Airrazor is possible.

So is Buzzsaw, Shadow Panther, Packrat, Hardhead, Dinotron

Maybe Ironhide (out of Rhinox)

As for the G1 figure that seem to be packed in these...any one of them. But I would prefer they did some repaints and make new characters instead.

I would love Hauler.

I'm still sad we haven't gotten Sunstorm yet. How do we get Hotlink, Red Wing, and a generic zombie over the poster child for lesser known Seeker repaints?

True that. He's even been in the comic.

And I say that as someone who loves my Siege Hotlink and Red Wing (although I cancelled my pre-order for the zombie, I'll probably still end up getting him). But Sunstorm is way cooler

I'm all about DW. I'd love a Sunstorm Tetrajet, but for some reason, I don't think Hasbro likes to acknowledge Sunstorm anymore.

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark with guessing. Total cost is $80, which would imply 4 deluxes cause that breaks up evenly. I imagine this might be where Predacon Wingfinger is released, maybe a repaint of Black Arachnia as the Maximal Black Arachnia from the card, maybe Glyph from SG Goldbug, and finishing with a repaint of Tracks as Loudpedal. I seriously doubt I got the characters right, but it'd make sense that the "Worlds Collide" set would have one from each faction.

As a wish though, if it's not 4 deluxes, then it'd likely be 2 voyagers and 2 core class, and in this case, I'd love to see Predacon Rhinox and Dinotron as the voyagers, with the core class guys being Thundercracker and Skywarp (I would say Packrat, but I think he should be released with Fractyl from the rumored Terrorsaur as a nod to the original releases)

This is what I worry we'll end up getting. The Titans Return box sets all over again. "Hey, here's the first ever toy of this extremely popular, breakout fan-favourite character from the comics, but she's only available in a box set with one of the Autobot Clones and some low-energy repaints of Optimus Prime and Six Shot".

I doubt a Kingdom box set would be as good as that titans returns one lol 1 Japanese exclusive mold (with bigger factions symbols that were better to me), 6 changer that was better than the original toy (some kingdom figures arent as good as older toys), 1 at the time exclusive figure/then only available as exclusives or TAkara and a comic nobody which was a nice exclusive resculpt, plus a metal head thrown in

Kingdom box set is likely just ultra magnus repainted and five different colors of stinky putty XD

Everyone is different. I got those sets specifically for Quickswitch/Magnus, the Clones, and the diecast TM's. I couldn't have cared less about purple fembot (whatever her name is). I gave her to my daughter. Metalhawk was ok.
