Hasbro now has a Transformer that Turns into the Autobot Symbol and a Cat that Turns into a Cat Lady

I didn't seen the face until later, but I definitely agree it is not ideal. Hopefully we also get some later versions with different fur and face patterns.

I took it as a Megatron gun becoming megatron but with a Kremzeek face.

This one is my favorite, a Megatron inspired transforming Kremzeek. I love it!

Anyone else get Beast Wars Happy Meal vibes from some of the animal ones? The dog especially does it for me.

That dog reminded me instead of the sabretooth minicon. Aside from the cat and the cricket I must say I am not a fan of those animals.

his pants are down after potty time lol, now you can't unseen that, pants down syndrome, pass ...

You beat me to it, Bluecat.

Let's see... which botbot will be the next meme...

THE TURD!

(All the other Transformers laugh at crap bot).

Turdsformer (better name): Come on! I'm not as crap as these TFs...

(Hands long list of TF toys that should never have been made).

All other TFs: Sigh... Yeah you're right...

I thought the cat-lady bot transformation looked familiar

Really I just want the controller for some Microman-style fun.



Maybe stick some Micromasters on it or something.

I did preorder the racecar sets. I so want that pizza car and the game controller hovercraft. Hopefully March of 2023 is not the actual date though, I can't wait a year!

The 20 and 32 bundles look like they will actually be four each of the 5 or 8 packs and even sticks you with 2 repeat characters for the 20 pack and 4 repeats for the 32 pack. So I also pre-ordered only the car sets. The plus side of them doing this is it should ensure you get 1 each of the 4 varieties, which is better than playing the order and return game with Amazon. I would order 2 and hoping they are the 2 different packs I wanted/needed and return them if not. This way you should be ensured to get one of each.

If you only want a few, I'd say wait them out in stores, but that is risky because we aren't sure when or which stores will even bother carrying them. I'm still trying to piece together wave 5 and Target was pretty much the only place carrying them anymore when the pandemic hit.

I'm going to try and complete the wave, so I'll probably end up pre-ordering the bundles, but it would be nice to find them at Target during a sale before Amazon ships. Oh yell, we have about a year to figure it out.

From the listing and pics, it looks like these will be released in complete sets of sorts, nothing blind packed.

I think we've got a mixed bag, but they have redone the distribution and cases in favor of collecting them all.

There are still the individual blind packs that will likely have a code on them. One of the pre-orders is a for a full case (24) of the blind single packs.

The 20 character bundle is actually 1 of each of the four different 5 packs, likely still with 4 visible and 1 behind the bubble on each pack.

Similarly the 32 character bundle is actually 1 of each of the four different 8 packs, likely still with 4 visible and 1 behind the bubble on each pack.

The vehicle 2 pack bundle is one of each of the individual vehicle packs with a vehicle and 4 bots each.

But the big difference in this wave versus other waves is there are only 4 different of the 5-packs and 8-packs instead of 8 different ones per case. On top of this, for the 20 character bundle there are only 2 repeats (broccoli and silver disc), and for the 32 bundle only 4 repeats (poop, floor sign, rat and dog bowl).

So for collectors like me who want the whole line, pre-ordering the vehicle packs and 20 and 32 bundles are the way to go. Then you just have to hunt down the 8 or so bots that are only in the single blind packs, hopefully with codes.

As someone who went all in on the previous waves, this setup is much better than spreading them over 8 different 5 and 8 packs where you often ended up with multiple repeats, sometime even 3 or 4 of a character just to get them all. This should be the cheapest wave yet, since I won't be be buying 5-7 each of the 5 and 8 packs.

Edit: Also, odd note, Entertainment earth has them coming in September 2022 instead of March 2023. That would be nice if it is the more accurate date.

It looks like the individual 24 case and the 32 bundle are about to ship. Nice surprise.

Here's hoping the racing sets are soon to ship out too

They have to be getting close too since some of the same figures are in the ones already shipping.
