Greetings Seibertronians!

Matrix_Holder is reporting a sighting of Shattered Glass voyager Megatron and Starscream at GameStop in Burlington, Ontario, in Canada! They came out to $40 CAD with use of the platinum edge card.

So this means that this exclusive line from Hasbro Pulse in the USA will be in Canadian GameStop just like for the Kingdom Ravage set! The Shattered Glass deluxes are then likely to appear too.

If the trend continues, Canadians may be able to get most of their Pulse exclusives at GameStop instead of importing them at very high cost. Ordering anything from Pulse costs between 22$US to 30$US plus they charge ALL the Canadian taxes. So being able to get it locally is a boon for Canadians.



To all Canadians out there, happy hunting!

Bad news for Canadians who shop at Toys R Us. The prices for Transformers have just significantly increased. The current Covid panic mixed with the shortage of workers and so many other factors are to blame. Most Transformers are now way more expensive than before. Here's some examples:

Deluxes like Origin Bumblebee are now 37$can. Formerly 33$can, formerly 30$can.



Leaders like the overproduced SS Scavenger and Overload are now 80$can. Formerly 75$can, formerly 70$can.



The recent Draculus now jumped to 80$can. formerly 75$can.



Ectotron and X-Pense had their price increased again in such a short while. Now a whopping 100$can. Formerly 95$can, formerly 90$can.



Not pictured, the Buzzworthy Bumblebee 4 pack that is the "Transformers starter pack for kids" that have the Warrior Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Starscream, has jumped from 80$can to 90$cn. Oddly enough, the highly collectible Buzzworthy Bumblebee 4 pack containing Nemesis Primal, Fangry, Bumblebee, and Blackarachnia remains at the highly affordable 120$can without having it's price even increased. Also, it's still in stock on the shelves.
Edit: That 4 pack too, had it's price increased twice. Originally 110$can, then 115$can, now 120$can. Ironically, it's still a reasonable price for what we get.

All these price increases on such a short notice are very concerning. The inflation is getting out of control.

Are the prices in your corner of the world going up as if they want to launch into space too? Let us know!

Thanks to a heads-up by fellow Seibertron user AcademyofDrX, we now know that not only wave 2 of the Super 7 Transformers Ultimate are revealed, but the preorders are open at the Super 7 store.

Here's a what's in that wave:

Bludgeon:

Master of the Cybertronian martial art of Metallikato, Bludgeon is a highly skilled, ferocious Decepticon warrior. If you’re not familiar with Bludgeon, he’s a leader of the Mayhem Attack Squad, which should give you some insight into his character. This highly-articulated Transformers ULTIMATES! figure of Bludgeon is inspired by the vintage toy and comics, standing 8.5” in his helmet and featuring interchangeable heads and hands along with an assortment of hand-to-hand combat weapons ready to mete out punishment upon any Autobots that cross him. There’s also a comic-inspired wire bundle that plugs into the bottom of Bludgeon’s head, as if it has been ripped off! You’re not seriously going to pass on the opportunity to add a martial arts Transformer to your ULTIMATES collection, are you?

Accessories:

2 interchangeable heads
Toy-inspired head
Comic-inspired head
6 interchangeable hands
Head wire bundle (comic-inspired)
Katana & sheath
Wakizashi & sheath
Tank blaster
Ion blaster (toy-inspired)
Turret shield (toy-inspired)

Grimlock (Dino):

“Me Grimlock!” One of the most powerful and feared of all Autobots, the only challenge beyond Grimlock’s capabilities is basic pronoun usage, but grammatical shortcomings aside, the Dinobot leader can go toe-to-toe with even the mightiest of Decepticon foes on the battlefield. This 9” highly-articulated Transformers ULTIMATES! figure of Grimlock in Dino Mode features G1 accurate paint deco and an arsenal of accessories that even include his time as a waiter. One more note we saved for the end, you’ll also get Autobot Wheelie, his friend! He can ride on Grimlock’s back, ready to go on the attack! Action, not diplomacy, is Grimlock’s forte, so in his spirit, just add this mighty warrior to your Transformers collection!

Accessories:

6x interchangeable hands
Mind-transfer helmet
Soft goods waiter apron
Serving tray
6x drinkware
Fish
King Crown
Wheelie

Megatron:

“Peace through Tyranny!” Megatron is the big bad of the Transformers universe for a reason. Actually, many, many reasons. Tremendous strength, military acumen, and ruthless aggression meant to inspire terror are just a few of his “finer” qualities. This 8” highly-articulated Transformers ULTIMATES! figure of Megatron features G1 accurate paint deco and interchangeable heads and hands. With an arsenal of other accessories, this figure is every bit as well equipped as you’d expect the leader of the fearsome Decepticons to be. Adding this Megatron ULTIMATES! figure to your collection is as inevitable as the fear he instills in his foes!

Accessories:

3x interchangeable heads
Regular head
Power-hungry head
Head with mind control helmet
6x interchangeable hands
Hand holding Energon cube
Anti-matter chest
Kremzeek
Chemical flask
Laser sword
Blaster
Pearl of Bahoudin
2x energy mace

Tracks:

Tracks is totally awesome! Just ask him, he’ll tell you! Considering that his non-robot transformations are a sports car AND a jet plane, it’s kinda hard to argue with him. The Transformers ULTIMATES! figure of Tracks features G1 accurate paint deco and interchangeable heads and hands, measuring in at 7.5” in height when fully equipped with his wings and missiles. With an arsenal of weapons and other accessories inspired by both the cartoon and the vintage toy, this Autobot diva is equipped to the nines! Love to hate him or hate to love him, either way, he’s a key member of the Autobots- and seeing that he once risked his life defending San Francisco, he’s near and dear to Super7’s heart.

Accessories:

2 x interchangeable heads
Regular head
Evil Alien Robot Head
6x interchangeable hands
Tank (vintage toy inspired)
Ion blaster (vintage toy inspired)
Ion blaster (cartoon inspired)
Blaster boombox

What do you think of these action figures? Any plans to get some?

DPCI for Transformers Kingdom Road Rage

We have product codes for Deluxe Class Road Rage and the yet-to-be-seen Voyager Class Tigatron.

Via a Target store listing, Road Rage is indeed set to be an exclusive. Her DPCI code (her internal Target inventory code, shown below) brings up a listing for only her figure, at the new Deluxe price point of $22.99. Normally, our source tells us, giving a DPCI code will bring up all the figures of a size class. For instance, the DPCI for Kingdom Deluxe Class figures would bring up a somewhat generic listing for "Transformers WFC Deluxe". Search for a character name instead, Arcee for example, and you'd find her listing, but she'd have the same DPCI code as the earlier "WFC Deluxe". Road Rage, however, has a code that brings up a listing for her and her only, similarly to how Earthrise Runabout (also a previous Target exclusive) was listed. This indicates that she'll be shipping in solid cases- assuming she's sold in stores, and not as an online exclusive like Leader Class T-Wrecks.

The other listing shows us that not only is Tigatron coming in a future Wave, but that he'll also be a Voyager Class figure, and not a simple retool of the other Maximal cat, Cheetor. Searching for his specific name brings up his listing, but the DPCI attached shows him to not only be sold at the Voyager price point, but to also be part of a regular Voyager Class assortment, as it shows a specific shelf location assigned to Voyager Class figures.

So what do you think, Seibertronians? Are you excited to add these two figures to your collection when they do show up? It's not known at this time when either figure will be released, only that their existence is confirmed with these listings being provided. Feel free to speculate below on any possible wavemates for Tigatron, and how you think Road Rage will be available.

First pictures of Shattered Glass Jetfire and Australian pre-orders

Greetings Seibertronians!

Thanks to fellow user aronjlove, we have the first pictures of Shattered Glass Jetfire! Normally the Shattered Glass line is supposed to be an Hasbro Pulse exclusive, but the pictures come from the Australian online store Zing Pop Culture. The preorders are already up! Does that mean that SG Jetfire will not be so exclusive and be available to other online stores as well? Will this transcribe to the other toys from the SG line?

Shattered Glass Jetfire is a straight repaint of the previous commander class Siege Jetfire. This time, the deco is black, purple, and bright green. No remolding is apparent. Those colors really pop though and it turns Jetfire from a noble warrior to an evil agent of darkness!

Feast your eyes on the pictures below!











What do you think of this version of Jetfire?
Do you have hope to see more SG toys in other stores than Hasbro Pulse?
Let us know!

Thanks to Seibertronian Mindmaster for pointing us to the Twitter account of @morgan_dfx, who recently posted pictures of a possible Bumblebee Movie Thrust. This time, he's posted an in-box picture of the upcoming Kingdom Deluxe Class Red Alert!



From this picture, we can see that Red Alert will be based on the upcoming Amazon exclusive earth-mode Sideswipe. Like his regular mold mate, Red Alert will also be a store exclusive, to the Walgreens drugstore chain, at least in the U.S., like Siege Ratchet and Earthrise Bluestreak. It remains to be seen how his distribution outside the U.S. will he handled.

What do you think of this reveal? Excited to add another LamBro to your collection? Let us know your thoughts, and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest Transformers news!

Kingdom Leader Class T-Wrecks Listed on Target's Website

Thanks to Seibertronians D-Maximal_Primal and aronjlove, we have word that T-Wrecks, the Maximal repaint of Beast Megatron, is finally showing up on Target's website! While we've known he's coming for some time, he still hasn't been officially revealed by Hasbro. Perhaps an official reveal is just around the corner? The listing currently shows the big bot as "Coming Soon", though a little more digging into the listing reveals that RedCard holders get early access to preorder through 24 July, and that all guests (not just RedCard holders) will be able to order him on July 25th.



That's great news, considering a previous figure, Red Wing, could only be ordered via RedCard access and was never available to order by non-RedCard holders (except for a brief glitch that allowed anyone to order him).







Are you planning to pick T-Wrecks up when he's available to you? Is he just not your thing? Let us know in the comments below, and chick on any of the photos in this article to be taken to the listing.
