Right as the new year is about to begin, most of the first batch of 2020 offerings for the Cyberverse line can now be found in the US. The Quintesson and Sharkticon multipacks have been found at Target already and now we have reports coming in for the warrior class figures, the ultra class armor figures and the sought after deluxe class figures.
The new warrior figures found include Stealth Force Hot Rod, a repacked Soundwave, Cybertronian Megatron and Cybertronian Bumblebee. They were found at Walmart with the earliest sightings from Virginia. The specific sighting here is from tf fan Daimao.
The new ultra class spark armor figures, like Clobber, have been found at Meijer in New Albany, Indiana, by tf fan primeisboss.
The deluxes, which include Megatron, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Shockwave were found at a Target in Wisconsin by tf fan Jacer. These are the ones that are more articulated and as complex as the Studio Series toys and come with a build a figure component for Maccadam as a bonus.
The Walmart exclusive G1 Astrotrain reissue has been spotted at Walmart in the US. Like Soundwave and Optimus Prime, it is also $50 and comes in a gorgeous G1 box. They were found by Michael who found them at a Walmart in Farmingdale N.Y. It was the only one on the shelf. He posted it on Facebook and our fellow Seibertronian Lorekeeper sent this our way.
If you find them at those prices in your area, please let other fans know in our boards right here.
Great news to anyone who held off, the Walmart exclusive reissue of Soundwave has been priced for clearanced at some Walmarts. The sighting below comes from our friend Ironhidensh who is in Indiana. Clearance is at the store level and not nation wide so it could be that your Walmart keeps the same price or is already sold out of Soundwave. The clearance price here is $30. The cassette packs are also being clearanced. Their price is $11. That's 40-45% off the original prices.
If you find them at those prices in your area, please let other fans know in our boards right here.
The first wave of Transformers Cyberverse Ultra Class Energon Armor figures has been found in Canada. imfallenangel over at Cybertron.ca reported seeing Ultra Class Energon Armor Clobber at a Toysrus in Ontario. This fan also took images of the figure. It seem the armor is a pop up gimmick where it is stored in it's back when not in use. This character is a female robot who looks like Lugnut. However, she transforms into a tank type of vehicle here rather than a plane.
While this toy was found in Canada, we still have yet to see any of these toys in other countries, so if you find them, let us know.
The tail enders are usually the toughest to find so it's good to know that they these have been found at a big box store. Transformers War For Cybertron Siege Battle Masters Singe and Rung have been found at Target for $5.99. The specific sighting is from jerichoholic99 who found them in Lexington, Kentucky and posted them on the TFW2005 message boards.
Hopefully that means your local Target will get it too. Singe is a rather important Battle Mastrer since you need him to complete the G1 Targetmaster Spinister.

Just when it was looking like T.J.Maxx wasn't going to have any decent Transformers deals this holiday season, this happened. While out Christmas shopping (yes, I'm a last minute shopper) I was surprised to find a legit Transformers section at a local T.J.Maxx. And it's not just old wave 1 overstock, but some pretty recent releases including Power of the Spark Ultimate Class Grimlock for only $20 (which our own william-james88 declared the best Transformer gift for young fans). Also of note is Spark Armor Elite Class Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee for $20 each, and Warrior Class figures for only $4.99! As you can see from the photos below they also had a nice selection of Scouts and 1 Step Changers which I unfortunately didn't catch the price on. Plus there was a selection of Bumblebee Movie Energon Igniters Power Plus Series figures such as Bumblebee(s), Shatter, and Soundwave for $10.

Fans were happy to find those 1$ keychains at Dollar Tree so we figured we could let you know of other products you can get there featuring the 'G1' designs and characters. First off we have the prexio mini figures. Tiny little statues of G1 mainstays like Optimus, Grimlock, Starscream, Bumblebee, Megatron and Soundwave. The packaging is all very G1 and we see the toy artwork on it and on the actual box that holds the little bags. Speaking of the little bags, they are well identified as to who you get. The pictures below come from Dilbertron who posted on the TFW2005 message baords.
We also have another set of G1 characters but with the evergreen designs in the form of wall walkers toys. You can see the type of toy it is in the video below and these have been stylized as G1 characters. Fellow Seibertronian EvasionModeBumblebee reported buying these and gave us some images below along with this quote:
Oh, I also found this. . . thing at Dollar Tree.
D9D35568-F6FB-4328-9AA0-4803FCFB8630.jpeg
. . . I’m not really sure what to think about it, but Starscream’s legs have never looked so good.
Not even Megs is sure what to think about it.
There’s apparently quite a few of these though, digging the new Soundwave design!
Great news for Americans looking for the 2020 Studio Series figures, the new voyagers have just been spotted at Walmart. Chris, a friend to the site reached out on Facebook to let us know that he found both Studio Series voyagers SS-54 Movie 1 Megatron and SS-53 Revenge Of The Fallen Mixmaster at in Savannah, Georgia. This hits the same time as the same voyagers hitting Canadian retail at EB Games. Since the deluxes for that wave (Arcee Sisters, First Movie Bumblebee, Soundwave and The Last Knight WW2 Hot Rod) reached both Toysrus and EB Games in Canada, it will probably be just a matter of days before some shops in the US get that stock too. All these toys are slated to be in stores January 1st so it makes sense that some start trickling down as we cross the first half of December. Since we still have yet to see those deluxes at US retail, let us know if you find them.
