New Listings for Megatron and Soundwave Toys on Walmart App

Yeah, I doubt they'd actually be red since Target would likely complain a little about Walmart getting red redecos from Hasbro. Who knows, maybe it's not "red" but (RED) (which I guess would still be "red" but for a reason)?

Another possibility is Siege Megatron and Soundwave with no "dirt" and some chromed parts to make them look like the G1 toys.

What are the chances that "red" is short for "redeco" and these are Siege Toys redeco'd into G1 color schemes?

About as likely as Will said it was in the article.

Huh. Whoops. I swear it didn't say that initially. But I guess I just have selective reading.

Wouldn't a Red Soundwave be Balster

Surely not another Wal Mart release of Megatron? They had Siege, the anniversary cel shaded repaint, the upcoming Netflix redeco, and something else?

yes, and it would look really cool

I don't think anyone has suggested this yet, but Studio Series is technically Generations... What if it's two of the Studio Series molds??

(I don't actually believe it is, but how f***ing rad would a blue car-Soundwave be?!)

I would go all in on an Earthrise Megatron in the G2 comics colors.

What if it's a reissue of Nerf gun Megatron?

NERF guns and the like aren't remotely realistic-looking, though. G1 Megatron, on the other hand, is an expertly-crafted replica of a Walther P38. It's possible that he could pass muster if he was cast entirely in the same color of transparent plastic, to prove that he's just a toy, but retailers are still leery.

I'm afraid not even then. Aside from the colors, NERF toys also have some ridiculous proportions compared to real firearms, and even the smallest ones can't be concealed without it looking odd. Not suspect, just weird.

Really, toy guns and genuine firearms need to be of separate designs for the sake of quick and easy recognition by anyone, especially law enforcement. You wouldn't be the first to be shot and/or killed by someone mistaking a (realistically designed) toy for the real thing.

Plausible... were it not the fact Hasbro has problems releasing that toy now. The original Classics deco won't do anymore, so what did they do for the latest Platinum Edition release in 2016?



They were really pushing it with the 2010 Legion if you must know:

And for the sake of argument, Hasbro did try with this little gem back in 2002, but Toys 'R Us back out:
