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.

With 2019 wrapping up and an entire decade in the rear view mirror, the Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast winds down the last 10 years with trivia, highlights, and more. Join Scotty P as he catches up with Megatronus, Counterpunch, Cobotron and Seibertron himself look back at what has been and make bold predictions of what the next 10 years might bring.
ScottyP kicks us off with a sinister game that tests the crew's mastery of this past decade's events...
It's the 2019 year in review - each member recounts their favorite Transformers toy, favorite piece of Transformers media, and what they disliked most about the past year.
The crew looks forward to their most anticipated known Transformer of 2020, and make one for sure it's-gonna-happen prediction.
Looking back at this past decade, we use Transformers: Prime as a jumping off point, discussing both the show and what it represented, as well as the spottiness (and triumphs) of the toy line.
Our review would not be complete without a movie discussion, starting with Dark of the Moon and extending to Transformers The Ride and the Wahlberg-era films.
This decade has seen a sea change in how Transformers is marketed - we cover the highlights, lowlights, and how the brand has evolved with time.
Also essential to the 2010s: IDW Phase II, including the critically acclaimed More Than Meets The Eye and other works that fundamentally changed the reach of the Transformers brand.
We end with our personal highlights: favorite Transformers moment & bragging right of the decade, and what we look forward to most in the next decade.

We posted pictorial reviews for the much anticipated deluxe Optimus Prime and Shockwave from Cyberverse already but of course pictures don't convey the transformation. To cover that part, Chuckdawg1999 has video reviews of these two toys.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Shockwave is a good deluxe figure but I feel it falls short when compared to Bumblebee and Megatron. My one big issue is the neon-pink rubber cable that connects the large cannon to the backpack; it's way too stiff out of the box and even after working it can still limit arm articulation. Overall, Shockwave is a solid purchase but I would recommend the other figures in the wave first.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:While I was hoping that Optimus Prime would be the best figure of the first four, it ends up falling somewhere in the middle due to incredibly loose joints that make a fun transformation finicky. The included Ion Blaster while small, features quite a bit of detail but I feel the Matrix is where the included blast effect will spend most of its time. Overall, this is a solid figure but not the home run that I was hoping for.
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.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian sabrblade, we have news that the winners of the 2019 Hall of Fame fan vote have been announced!
The winner this year for the new character induction is the purple and black seeker himself, Skywarp! Skywarp originated from the first wave of the 1984 toyline, cartoon, and comics, and many fell in love with his teleporting capabilities. And it would seem that his teleporting abilities finally got him into the hall of fame.
And the winner of this year's toy induction is the Titan himself, Omega Supreme! Omega has been on the market now for around 2 months, and has proven to be a very popular Titan, with many considering him to be the best Titan we have gotten so far. This titanic monosyllabic character made his way into our hearts, and how so has his toy.
So what do you think of these results? Was this the result you had hoped for? Let us know what you think in the comments section below!
It's the second to last Friday of the month, so you all know what that means fellow Seibertronians! It's time to see what Transformers Comics will be hitting the stands in a few months time!
This month sees regular ongoings continue, a collected trade paperback and a crossover no one saw coming...
