Up first is the smallest class, the Bravo class, which up until now had featured Grimlock, Starscream, Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee. The newest figure to join this class is Ratchet, who is also in his evergreen design and hues very close to his recent Cyberverse Spark Armor toy. He will be available along with the rest of the previously released figures.
Next is the Alpha class, which featured Grimlock, Optimus, Bumblebee, and Megatron. The newest addition to this class is Soundwave, who also hues close to a recent Cyberverse toy, in this case the Warrior class figure. He will also be available with his fellow previously released figures.
And finally, we have the Titan changer, the larger figures that transform in a couple of steps. Previous members of the class included Megatron, Bumblebee, and Optimus, and they are now joined by Grimlock and Starscream.
All of the new figures are most likely on their way to stores now, so keep an eye out for these latest Authentics figures, and let us know if you spot them!

"Puny visor" seems like a pretty minor nitpick for what is otherwise a decent-looking Soundwave. As for Grimlock, Titan Changers are a Leader-sized figure for around half the price of a deluxe, so yeah, your expectations might be too high.

And Walgreens, though usually only during the holidays. And yes, Dollar General as well.

I'm waiting on them to release Bravo Alpha Bravo and if that figure is as good as I expect, I'll upgrade to Alpha Alpha Bravo!chuckdawg1999 wrote:These look fantastic, is it too early to start naming toy of the year? I'm still waiting on an Alpha Starscream.

I'm sure dollar tree sightings would interest people. Could you take pics next time to show which of these authentics do they have there and what are the prices?

If I come across it in the wild, I may pick him up.

He looks good, I like the Authentics line, hope they do more.
And hopefully they make all the Cyberverse cartoon figures!!!

While these may not be figures on most fans' want list, it is good to know what's out there and we can all live vicariously through Chuck to see if we are indeed missing out on these, or not. Enjoy!
