Target Reveals their 2025 Transformers Exclusives: Animated Nemesis, Devastation Autobots and More

That 4-pack is really calling my name. Sad I have no Target get this from.


The new Gamer Prime seems to have some battle damage added, and fully painted axe blades, wonder if that will make the final product.

For those not wanting BWII Skywarp, this is a good way of getting Sideswipe.

Wheeljack yet again.... what is this the 7th time this mold is used, not counting the Sunstreaker retool.

Also, why does Wheeljack get so many releases, and Sunstreaker just waits in the wind for a second individual run that is not an exclusive of some kind and impossible to get.

Also also, Target be like, make all the artwork Target colors. Habsro: mmm-kay, there you go.

Looks like that Horri-bull is a revamp of TR Skullcruncher. The set looks good. But in this time of higher prices and limited shelf space, these all-repaint bundles are less appealing...

This may be one you can make an exception for assuming Target holds the line on pricing. The Target 4 packs have really been the only multipack to give a fairly significant discount. Last year it was priced at $80 for 3 deluxes and a Voyager. In addition, it was one of the easiest to get a sale on as well as they did not sell well in stores. I'm hoping for the same $80 price, but we'll see.

Edit, looks like it is $89.99, which isn't too bad, still cheaper than 4 deluxes on their own and one is a Voyager.

My wallet says whew, it only needs to worry about the 4-pack as I have all the others in the same or close enough deco as the new ones.

I got excited. Deluxe magnus! Voyager Nemesis? I was in. Then I saw the molds. I didn't like either of those Prime molds. They weren't for me. So this is an instant money saver.

Preordered Sideswipe; that looks better than the ER version, and with a gray, non-metallic face and all solid plastic, I couldn't resist.
Also went for the 4-pk. It's a shame prices are going up, but I'm only getting that for Horri-Bull; I'll sell-off the others and hope I can get at least $60 for those.
I am surprised that there's another Wheeljack coming out. Wish that would've been Bluestreak instead.

Ordered the 4 pack and the Devastation guys.


Whatcha doing there, Red Alert?

OK, I have to ask: what is different between Bumper and Studio Series Bumblebee, other than the head?

The bumpers? And the headlights?

Paint, nothing more from what I can tell.

Yup... This is what you call a minimal repaint/retool...
But, I guess it's to be expected with a set like this one. It's also a reminder (to me, at least) that price hikes really are borderline ridiculous.
So few figures are ever anywhere close to what they're priced... Even for ones that I truly enjoy, such as the SS86 Dinobots, those should be $40-$45 at the most.
And I get it, they're priced to fetch Hastak a certain percentage of profit... But from the buyer's side, knowing that gives a little perspective, and that's about it.

Thanks for the photos, Sabrblade!
