It just hit me.

Do you guys suppose that the Bumblebee's Cybertronian name being "B-127" was chosen because 127 is an anagram for 217, as in "Ladiesman217"?

Probably not, but it's an interesting coincidence.

And I'm sure there are a lot of fans wetting their boy shorts over Dino right now.

Isn't B127 Bumblebee 's name in the Hearts of Steel comic?

It's what was written online as an answer to the question.

Well, before I responded, I skimmed over the the first two chapters of the story and he refers to himself as Bumblebee, even when introducing himself to John Henry.

Where was this online Q&A?

Not a q&a just a discussion online where someone asked the question. Just search on Google and you'll probably end up in the same TFW thread. It's just someone's answer, I never read the comic.

That part is rather confusing since usually, releases with comics are just for the US (or international importers) but this also has multiple languages on the box.

Plot twist, the speech bubbles just have the dialogue in 30 languages.

Is it still selling for that ridiculous amount we saw earlier or has the price dropped to a reasonable price.

I'm excited for Dino, Ectotron, and Arcee. Eck should be shipping here soon too, he's supposed to arrive next week. And since my Vertebreak and Gigatron just shipped I expect him to ship too.

I didn't preorder Arcee, I tried once and had it cancelled, so I'll wait until its in stores.

Dino I preordered from Pulse, really excited for him.

I'm also considering Highbrow, he is the one headmaster reissue that I like, and I like how he looks a lot

Ah, right of course. Forgot the train of thought.

Hasbro has a pretty decent list of "Back in Stock" items they just added.

Earthrise Runamuck and Trailbreaker

Thanks for the heads up, no idea why Pulse won't send me the premium email until 230

Greetings Seibertronians! Today I bring good news for all Transformer fans in the United Kingdom! As, we've learned from toy reviewer, Thew's twitter account, and fellow Seibertron user, Blackeyedprime, that Hasbro had finally set up the UK arm of their Hasbro Pulse website!



This means another place for UK Transformer fans to get their figures and future Exclusives from (indeed, you can preorder the recently revealed Transformers Selects G2 Ramjet figure). Currently the Transformers selection is limited to the releases seen this year so far (Studio Series 86 wave 1 deluxes, Voyagers and leader Grimlock, Studio Series Bumblebee Voyager Class Starscream, Deluxe B127 and Dino, all Kingdom Waves 1 + 2, as well as all crossover figures made so far.)

It should also be pointed out that the Buzzworthy Bumblebee releases are also featured under the Exclusives tab, along with MPM-12 Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime.

Hopefully going forward, we'll see a greater synchronisation between what is released in the American store and the UK one, meaning we shouldn't miss out on any future exclusives but time will tell on that.

Hasbro are advertising a special offer for buyers wishing to join their premium subscription, as seen in the image below:



It's not all good news however, as expected, its UK only meaning European Transformer fans, among many others will not be able to buy from the site unless having a UK postal address.

So what does our UK fans think about this news then? Excited about getting exclusives straight from the source?

Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I think they should also sell to Northern Ireland!

I like Pulse but they should offer HasLab stuff on there, perhaps once a year a limited run of each to help collectors get the stuff they want.

Interesting. No Ratchet/Lifeline, Thrust or any of the other (rarer than gold dust) US exclusives that actually need to be on this platform. What is the point of this, otherwise?

AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Interesting. No Ratchet/Lifeline, Thrust or any of the other (rarer than gold dust) US exclusives that actually need to be on this platform. What is the point of this, otherwise?

To allow people to get Exclusives going forward. All the stock on the site is from this year after all. The way they see it, we'd probably already got those things if we really wanted them

They have the Dominus pack available under Partner Exclusives, why can't they put up the rest of the Galactic Odyssey? I'm sure it is a stock issue but still begs the question.

Probably easier this way for them to set up the shop

This is nice I guess, while there's nothing on there right now that I'm really eager for, it's nice that they have the Headmasters and Studio Series 1986 toys. It's always good to have more options for getting new stuff.

Anyone looking for CW Devastator, Amazon oddly enough has them in stock at the original price.

With Wave 3 listings for Kingdom available on amazon, and some sold out already, maybe you'd like a head start on the rest of the line. There is a way to add the items to your wishlist and then preorder them from your wishlist. Like that you get a head start and you can always cancel a preorder if the toy doesn't look that great when it's revealed. Especially since Amazon has been more reliable than Walmart and Target at honouring preorders. And it's not just Wave 4 of Kingdom that is available this way on Amazon. You also have the rest of the 2021 Transformers Studio Series line including both Bayverse toys and 86 movie toys.

Let us know if it works for you and if you like these kinds of articles!

Ordered everything except for Sideswipe, Jolt, Bumblebee, and Grindor.

Thanks for this. The link for Slammer didn't post like the others though, it's just a pic of the "add to list" page on my end.
Apart from him, I've got orders in for the stuff I want. Hopefully Amazon doesn't do me dirty again and cancel them like they did my Paradron 2-pack.

I updates with proper slammer link

TF6 Thrust? Is this just a recolor of Bumblebee Starscream?

Is Kingdom Waspinator also available for pre-order?

Spider5800 wrote:TF6 Thrust? Is this just a recolor of Bumblebee Starscream?

In all likelihood.

Spider5800 wrote:TF6 Thrust? Is this just a recolor of Bumblebee Starscream?

Yes but probably with a new head

Awesome! Nice to have even more confirmation of what we’re getting for Studio Series this year even if the reveals are a long way off.

I already got ROTF Bee from its Buzzworthy release so I’m good on that one. Jolt is a definite yes, and Grindor is a maybe depending on how much retooling they’ve done.

frankcass wrote:Is Kingdom Waspinator also available for pre-order?

Now yes, I added the link

Good find!

I pre-ordered Slag, 2 Gnaws and 1 Wreck Gar. Glad they all have an August release date. I only added Pipes and Slammer to my wish list though.

YEAH! Pre-ordered everything Kingdom Wave 4 and SS86 except for Shadow Panther and Sweep...I wonder if they will release the other Dinobots and leave Snarl out like in the movie. Also hopefully there will be a new Blaster (which shouldn't be too hard) and Perceptor to complete this 'Mini Master' line. And also the cancelled Gears.

Which thread do we use to discuss the Ratchet/Lifeline set?

Nemesis Reformatted wrote:Which thread do we use to discuss the Ratchet/Lifeline set?

Transformers Earthrise thread as they were sold under the Galactic Odyssey subline.

Ok thanks!

Pulse has some new preorders up and since they have been quite the reliable retailer of late, we know fans in the US like to be aware of when hot items come up. They put up preorders for Kingdom Waspinator and Shadow Panther, both coming out in November, as well as Tigatron which comes out in December.

The bigger news though would be that they are now the main place to get the Takara exclusive Optimus Prime figure made from the Kingdom Magnus inner bot which comes with a tensegrity stand. This set is $61.99 but you can buy the stands for $16.99 a piece a instead. You have until October 27 to preorder this item.

One very important note is that these stands have a lot of assembly required. And the product info page states that everything is released as it is in Japan. There is no indication that Hasbro has translated the Japanese instructions on how to build the stands. So fair warning.

Really happy to hear that Tigatron is still coming out this year in the US. I want Big Cat so badly

Ordered Shadow Panther, Waspinator, and Optimus Prime. Not sure why they're calling it a Masterpiece, I can't find any other retailer calling it that.

Aaaaaand Tigatron's gone, he's all gone.

Sigh. Guess I'm waiting for him to show up on Amazon or in stores. IF he shows up in stores...

If you missed pre-ordering Kingdom Blaster/Eject, it's back up on the Hasbro Pulse website!

If you're lucky, you won't have to scrounge stores, nor call stores to try and get those dead-head clerks to check and find out if they're on the shelf!
