New Transformers Listings on Amazon with Micromaster Team Names

So it looks like the rumours about the return of micromasters is being proved slowly. I like micromasters so I approve.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Micromasters return.

Figured they'd have to tackle the micromaster lines eventually as they're running out of characters to update. Of the 1984 line, the only one that hasn't been updated is Bumper / Bumblejumper. For 1985, its the Powerdashers, the Ominibots, and a few Deluxe Insecticons. 1986 everyone has an update except Hubcap (who did get a movie toy). 1987 there's the remaining 4 Throttlebots, the Autobot Targetmasters, the headmaster triple changers, and Flywheels (who at least got his head released in the last line).

I would prefer that if they hit Micromasters that they make them as larger figures (as tiny cars just don't make sense except for populating city scenes), but the price point seems to indicate they'll stay small.

Yes in BW Megatron voice.

I'm just hoping they have articulation like the Minicons of days old.

My thoughts exactly. I was pulling for them to come back, especially after Blackjack. And I hope they're in the new Legends class, though a straight reissue of the G1 figures would be fine as well. As long as the molds are still good.

I really hope the "Spy" team is updated RID Spychangers.

Emerje

I have most of the original sets. I wouldn't mind getting the rest especially if they are reissue or "classic" models.

Anyone else hoping for bases with this new line? Rocket Base? Anyone? Rocket Base!

yes bring them back! all the teams, the bases, and the 6 team combiners

After yesterday's news from Amazon Australia - about the Micromaster named listings, which you can check again here - fellow Seibertronian DELTA_prime has sent us another link to the online retailer with several new intriguing names showing up. Fellow staff member Burn suggests that the possible reason for these appearing on Amazon AU before US, is because now that Australia is geo-blocked from Amazon US, and these are being shipped and sold from Amazon US, they might be trying to work out how much stock they need for Australian customers.

As for the figures themselves, there seem to be listings for a new Megatron, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Jetfire, Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, Prowl, Drift, Barricade, Thundercracker, Drift, Springer and Starscream - though these may in fact all be part of the Cyberverse line, as initially posted here.

Then we have entries for characters names Cog, Sixgun, Crankcase, and Shockwave at what seems to be a leader scale price. With the Battle Masters revealed for War for Cybertron, and more Micromaster team names, might this be the base and sixchangers? Or possible remolds from pre-existing Metroplex, Fortress Maximus, Sixshot?

And finally, we have listings for items called Infantry, Red Lightning, Rockhounds, Greenjackets and Rockducks - around the same price point as the Voyager Siege Optimus Prime from the previous news story, but again, the actual contents are to be determined. Browse through the listings in this story, and join the speculation in the Energon Pub discussion boards!

An interesting amount of product here...can't wait to see it all

The Megatron and Ultra Magnus are the same price as the Shockwave figure so that makes me think that they could be war cor cybertron leader classes too, they're was also an Optimus at that price as well, so maybe a new powermaster Prime? Maybe I'm just being optimistic.

I can't really offer any real insights via the product codes (E****), as I don't have the ones for the Power Ram Bumblebee and Cyberverse Warriors yet.

Intriguing stuff. I'm excited to learn more

i have a feeling we will finally have a proper updated release of shockwave in the War for Cyberton line, i hope

This article is WAY off. First of all these prices are in AUD not USD which drastically changes things. Secondly the names that are grouped together aren't even the same price point. http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/07/14/even ... zon-367337 this is a much better breakdown of all the names and the correct prices.

Can we assume this is a mix of different lines? Or is it all WFC?

I'd say it's a mix of Movie, Cyberverse and WFC.

This has been on the US Amazon at US$19.99, the new Deluxe MSRP for WFC and SS, for months now. Most likely anything on the list at that price will be from one of those two lines.

I have to wonder if Cog and Sixgun being listed indicate a reissue of Metroplex and Fortress Maximus is also coming?

Emerje

I wonder how hasbro would handle a re-release of older titan classes if that were true. It would probably be an online thing only. Still releasing the companions of the titans would be nice for those who already have them.

I'd say no, but never hurts to discover disappointment

What would Sixgun transform into anyway?

Yeah, that too. And would anyone really complain if it turns out he's basically a Deluxe Battlemaster? I think it'd be a neat way to get some extra weapons into the line.

And for that matter if Cog ends up being accurate to G1 then he'd basically be an Autobot Duocon.

Emerje

Meanwhile we still don't have an explanation for Transformers Toilet Troop.

Also, a small request NOT to news this as it's mere conjecture, and I will not be held responsible for raising or dashing one's hopes

:EDIT: organised the Unknowns by MSRP

Thanks for the list jelze I'm curious about Starscream being in the listing at the price, wouldn't a leader class screamer be out of scale?

ZeroWolf wrote:Thanks for the list jelze I'm curious about Starscream being in the listing at the price, wouldn't a leader class screamer be out of scale?

Australian Dollars. Here's the breakdown of the price points:

AUD 29.88 is Deluxe
AUD 44.82 is Voyager
AUD 74.71 is Leader
AUD 14.93 is Micro Master

AUD 11.93 and AUD 22.40 might be Bumblebee Movie price points, the Legion-like Energon Igniters Speed and Power respectively.

So Starscream is a Voyager yet again.

Ah now that makes sense as he would have to scale with megs and co.

Jelze, what made you group them in a particular line?

Odd that SixGun is an E43xx and not a 35 like the rest of the kbown WFC:S stuff. exclusive bracket?

william-james88 wrote:Jelze, what made you group them in a particular line?

The figures on display at SDCC corresponded to some of the Product Codes, which tips off certain things. we know Firedrive is an E35xx, so all of the E35s should be the same line. From their its price codes to determine class. and using the titles in the listings to determine whobis what

Once you put a series of codes together and you know what line and/or wave one particular code belongs to, it's a pretty safe the rest of the series follows suit. That works particularly well with Generations and other lines with a similar wave layout. Exceptions do apply with oddball codes interjected here and there, look at PotP Skrapnel
Determining the local price points helps as well, as certain price points are now exclusive to certain lines. That's why the unknowns mostly have non-Generations prices, they can be either Cyberverse or Bumblebee Movie.

Starscream (E3527, AUD 14.91, Release Date 08/01/2018)
Megatron (E3528, AUD 14.91, Release Date 08/01/2018)

OK, AUD 14.91 is the local price for what Size Class? One-Step?

Ultimate Megatron's is numbered e2066, let me know if that makes you discover anything new, Jelze.

I'm onto something, as the Cyberverse One-Step Assortment is numbered E3522, with the three figures following in sequence.

One-steps are around $19 in stores at the moment. Closest at the moment may be Prime Masters.

Mystery solved: They're indeed One-Steps for the Cyberverse line.
