Exclusive Transformers ReAction Dead Prime and Toy Megatron Redecos Found at Target

I found Megatron, but the optimus shelf peg was empty. There were probably 4 megatrons at the hanes mall Target in winston-salem, nc.

Found both Friday in Massachusetts. Store had 8 Megatrons and 4 Primes

I just spotted the Fallen Leader OP at a local Target here in Missouri. Didn’t see Megatron.

Black Friday may be a day in the mirror, but you can still get your hands on Super7's Black Friday Exclusive Transformers ReAction Figures, exclusive to their web store. These surprise listings feature homages to both the Headmasters cartoon and the pre-Transformers Microman Microchange toyline, bringing collectors non-transforming 3¾" action figures of MC-20 Microscope, Stepper, Soundblaster, and MC-12 Gun Robo P-38. These are repaints of Super7's Megatron, Soundwave, Jazz and Perceptor figures.

Click on the images below to check out the listings at Super7's website.











It's unknown how limited these figures will be, so don't hesitate to grab them now from Super7's web shop if you're looking to add these exclusives to your ReAction collection.

I'm very excited about the 4 Black Friday Super7 Reaction Transformers that were revealed yesterday. I'm a bit confused as to why they used those names, though. There's a precedence for Magnificus so it's odd that they didn't make him a Decepticon and use that name (or at a minimum use the pre-Transformers product name but put a Decepticon symbol on him instead). Similar with Stepper. While it's great to see his Japanese name used for a Hasbro licensed product after all these years, I would have gone with his American-market name of Ricochet instead. I'm torn on the Black Megatron though. It's cool when used in conjunction with the Black Perceptor's name but I think I would have preferred something like Black Hole Megatron or Black Fusion Megatron or even Microchange Megatron. I have less of a preference for Megatron than I do for Decepticon Black Perceptor and Ricochet.

I think they don't know TFs too deeply. Although they knew enough that there was a black repaint of him, so ... what gives?

Maybe it's a weird license thing?

It's possible it's to emphasize they're not the same characters as their "parents", plus how many times have we gotten direct Microchange references, including names, like that?

Fwiw, their website lists the three that aren't Soundblaster as being versions of Megatron, Perceptor and Jazz. I just went with the product names from the cards for the news article.

Perhaps Megatron X a la Cyberverse?

They're getting a surprising amount of mileage out of that Megatron mold. Regular, toy, and black decos if I'm remembering right. So I wonder what they'll choose for Prime's next deco? Nemesis Prime? Ultra Magnus white? Powered Convoy blue? SG Purple? I suppose there's no shortage of choices that I'm sure they'll exploit.

including the 4BF releases, i bought the rest of wave 2 that i was missing plus Devastator via the S7 site.
I am really looking forward to getting these in hand all at once; the ActionMaster feels on these are pretty crazy.
Neo retro, of sorts.
As much as i enjoy them doing the cast they have so far, to do some AMaster only characters in this line would tie it all together nicely.

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, TF-fan Kev777, we've learned that several new entries in Super7s officially licensed Transformers ReAction line! The new figures are available to preorder on Hasbro Pulse and are the following:

Blitzwing





Perceptor





Dirge





Blaster





The ReAction line are Super7s way of homaging the action figure lines of the 80s with their lines logo looking like the old Kenner toys logo and the cards the figures coming in drawing the mind back to Kenners first Star Wars toy lines

Do you collect these figures? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I can't unsee these....I wish I could...

Just saw figures of Galvatron, dead Optimus, Hot Rod, & Coronation Starscream…
I actually like the look of Galvatron.

Who out there collects the Transformers ReAction figures from Super7? These are the non transforming retro figures meant to emulate the Star Wars figures of old. They seem to have a fanbase spread much beyond the Transformers fan base. We know this since while I have yet to hear about much excitement within the community, the newly revealed Target exclusives sold out their preorders within minutes. They will be in stores in February 2022 though, so you have another chance at getting them then. These are the Gold Lagoon versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron.

But wait, there's more!

We also have a Facebook post form Super7 themselves unveiling their new Christmas themed Optimus Prime! this toy is due out in November. All these toys are around the 18$ mark. You can preorder this Christmas Prime at BBTS: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/ ... ils/181059

Okay so these are absolutely pointless and dumb to me.

But I really like that candy cane blaster. If it was 5mm, I might even buy Santa Prime just for it.

I agree, as I wrote in the article, I feel the collectors of this line are not also transformers collectors. Which is interesting. While this line stars some of our hobby's main characters, it seems to exist outside of the hobby. Not sure if the Funko Pops line is similar.

I buy them, which usually counts for nothing at all, but I don't collect licensed TF products carte blanche. I keep them on the card and will have them take up a wall someday, which is what I already do with the old HoCs. They're stunning on the card. I wasn't into them until I bought Grimlock just because it was Grimlock, but I fell in love.

Now some of their other stuff like the Cyborgs? Full pass, not for me.

I had a feeling you bought them. What about Funko pops, are yiu going for a complete collection of those too?

I am in exactly the same boat as Scotty.
Keeping these MOSC for future display on a wall.
I think they look amazing and the ActionMaster feels are pretty strong for me, tbh.
Cyborgs and the like, not as interesting to me, which keeps my wallet in line.

Funko, only have the 1 Convention exclusive Grimlock, and that was because it was crazy cheap @ Gamestop; $7, i believe.
Not really of interest to me otherwise but do appreciate the efforts on Funko part to get them out there.
The only other one i may get is ShockWave and that is mainly to display next to the Mighty Muggs version i got years ago for cheap as an interesting, to me at least, comparison in aesthetics.

I’m all over that Christmas themed Prime.

I'll take Santa Prime. I will do that one, just once

Well, I got one of these little things. I bought the Santa Prime because finally a Christmas TF, and christmas is my favorite holiday.

Having him in hand, this is still something I like the idea of owning, but do not recommend at all. This thing was $19.32 after tax, with the $4 BBTS shipping, so like $23ish for the whole thing. It is maybe worth $8 if that, this thing is on par with Cyberverse scouts. It is just not good. I am glad they made a Santa Prime, but this will be the only ReAction figure I get, no doubt.

We have some fun news for ReAction figures fans with images for the next wave. This one features Arcee, Grimlock, Prowl and Reflector all with a very G1 Sunbow aesthetic. While they all cost $17.99, Grimlock is substantially bigger than the rest, as you can see from the packaging images. These are already available for preorder at a few websites including BBTS. These are due out this month.

Arcee's face reminds me of the Palisades statue.
https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Arcee_(G1)/toys#Palisades_Statues

They mixed up Blaster and Perceptor's names...

I cannot wait until Super 7 makes sharkticons

This Arcee, compared to the Masterpiece's torso *and* the Bumblebee Movie Arcee's face, seems "Uplifted".

And so, the Action Master Arcee that was a BotCon pipe dream sometime back in the '90s, has finally (well, effectively) come to pass...but only after her Masterpiece toy and dozens of others, official and 3P.

Yet for that reason, she might end up being the second ReActon TF I buy after Deadimus Prime. Still on the fence about really collecting this line. That Reflector might be my tipping point though. I can see ignoring him or army-building, there's no in between. Even allowing that there should be twice as many without the tummy-lens, a second one could be "Warrior" from Divide and Conquer. "No! Please! Not me! No!"

My Re-Action to these figures:

Ew... Goddamn ugly, limited articulations, and almost 20$US each. All of my nope.
Still, the artwork on the cards are amazing. If by some bizarre circumstance I buy one of these, the toy would remain sealed and I'd hang the card on the wall.

New Super 7 toys have been found at Target by RMaster who posted images on Twitter. The two toys found were G2 Grimlock and toy deco Galvatron. However, the even bigger news here is that the back of the card revealed more toys coming in this line. We can see Cyclonus, Ultra Magnus, Wreck-Gar, Sharkticon, Quintesson and best of all Unicron. And this isn't modelled after the Transformers movie but is instead modelled after the original prototype of the G1 Unicron toy. You can see an image of that original toy below. So now that means that this never released design will actually get a release. Albeit a smaller non transforming one. Still, it will be a 6 inch ReAction figure, so it will be one of the bigger figures in this line.









Transformers G1 1986 Unicron Gallery

This is incredible but I have to admit it does feel a little off this Unicron is being done by a company that's not Hasbro.

gonna need to buy out all the sharks!

So, Action Master Unicron...HOLDING A GUN, no less! Ever since I got Action Master Bumblebee and Devastator and had them duke it out when I was 12, I've had a sort of long-running fever-dream that if the U.S. G1 line had continued into 1992 instead of pausing before G2, Hasbro would've produced this very toy.

I mean, who/what is he going to shoot with that thing? Tornadron? (If it's an energy-draining de-kineto blaster) Eternity? The Living Planet? Those assume TF Marvel Continuity never totally splintered off from the Marvel Universe...

...Oh right, continuity splinters! After his third attack on Cybertron in Aspects of Evil Part 5, he came back in an even smaller body to go on a shooting spree right after Peace, reuniting the warring Autobots against a common enemy, then realized Peace was just the future of Earth Force continuity and fled to Japan, where he hid inside that Beast Wars Neo toy, trapped temporarily when it was cancelled...

...but only until an all new TF comic universe came into existence for him to devour, so he came back in an even smaller form...

...Pat Lee. And this absurd ReAction figure tells the whole story, better than any "Ultimate". Well done, Super 7.

Not that I'm knocking the gun, per se. It makes more sense than that one Frieza toy that came with a machine gun.

Am I the only one who always thought The Revenge looked like it had previously doubled as Unicron's handgun, even before the combining rail gun gimmick with Kingdom Galvatron?
Okay, I'll get off this...

Dang, each new ReAction wave has even more figures I'm going to have to make exceptions for. And if I end up going back to complete earlier waves on the secondary market, ugh...

An interesting deep cut of a decision, and honestly I'm all for it.
Especially interesting considering the rest are based on animation models, but I guess they wanted to put the old concept out since there's already an official Unicron figure with a 'toon accurate look!

An interesting, deep fans-service of a decision.

You said it better than me!

FYI, Unicron's gun is based on an early concept where the figure would come with a stand that transformed into a blaster.

Oh you son of a bitch, I'm in!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:This is incredible but I have to admit it does feel a little off this Unicron is being done by a company that's not Hasbro.

Indeed. Still hold out the faintest hope, this Unicron will see a "release" in the G1 Reissue line, some day.

Looks like I'm buying my first ReAction figure. This is the kind was weird thing I want to see Super7 doing. Now do some humans!

I am mad the quintesson is not a six inch. That would have been cool. I need an inexpensive quintesson.

never mind then....

wait-WHY ISN'T JETFIRE A 6 INCH?

RodimusPrimeUkraine1 wrote:wait-WHY ISN'T JETFIRE A 6 INCH?

Because then he'd be the same size as Devastator and Unicron. They only reserve the 6" for the really giant characters.

This is great news you guys!

Big Unicron out and about! Great Super7 (not my fav company) is doing this, hope it does well and Hasbro takes a hint.

Just Haslab the original Unicron and I think plenty of us old folk will support and buy it. This G1 Unicron, is he Titan size or smaller? If they can get big boy to be under 200 euro's it's a no brainer for me.

I will get this, it needs to happen!

Uh… he’s 6 inches tall.

Not the Super7 figure.

As far as we're aware of his intended size:

TFWiki wrote:Though the prototype had the tallest robot mode at the time of its planned release, it was ultimately shorter than Fortress Maximus.

Personally, I don't think there is a need for HasLab-Greed.



Remaking this mold wouldn't exactly cost the Earth today. As mentioned earlier, he could easily be sold under the reissue banner in G1 packaging. For potentially the price of a Devastator boxset. As he should have been all those years ago.

Ah, my mistake then.

I'd cream my pants if "G1" Unicron is the next titan.

Hell, I'd do more than cream my pants. I'd bake them into a freaking wedding cake!

Are you saying devastator and unicron being the same size is good scale?

Titan class is too small for unicron
and he already got the haslab, so the next unicron will probably take a while to come out officially if at all.
