Posted about finding Primal at Walmart in Florida last week. Update, it's a steaming pile of garbage. The hands won't even fit the swords unless you boil them to soften the grip.

Thanks to a post on Weibo, we have out first look at some upcoming toys to come to the Transformers RED line. These are Prime Knockout and Ultra Magnus. Ultra Magnus is a white redeco of Optimus Prime, so an homage to the G1 toy's inner bot. Knockout is a fully new mold. The RED line is still exclusive to Walmart in 2022. Let us know what you think and if you will be picking these up. It seems that while many fans are not enthused by this line, it does sell well enough to keep going and to not remain on shelves too long.

Knock Out is a Day 1 purchase since he'd make for a more interesting purchase than the possible Legacy version since they're not going for 1:1 TFP Knockout.

Knockout looks like a shampoo bottle, due to the flat, lack-of-detail appearance.
I hope I'm wrong.

This is the first Knock Out toy that actually, finally looks like his cartoon design. It's about time he got his due. That Deluxe toy he got back in the day did him no justice.

Still waiting on one that's accurate and is actually a good toy too.
I still feel very salty over RED Arcee. She feels so bad

I've been a little out of the loop but just bought Knockout at Walmart. I don't like this series but he looks good. Has it even been officially revealed yet?

I don't think so.

Officially no, it has only been acknowledged as found in stores ALA SS Jolt and RotF sideswipe

Those SS toys have had official acknowledgements, albeit ROTF Sideswipe was after it was found in stores (which isn't uncommon, it's happened for years now). Plus, Hasbro has stopped revealing at least 50% of their toys. None of the Cyberverse toys from 2021 have official reveals as far as I know. That's why websites like ours exists.

OK, worded that wrong, I meant it's like SS Jolt and Sideswipe where it was found in stores first and revealed later, except these haven't been officially revealed yet.
Anything that isn't SS86 or Legacy it seems haven't been revealed before being found in stores or leaked. The brand team's reveals have been getting very poor across the board lately. They really should borrow a Marvel guy for a bit to learn about proper reveals.

Personally, I think they should do what they are doing with the Star Saber, let us in on the process. Probably not with Movie toys since the designs are to be revealed by Paramount or whatever, but for legacy, SS and even Rescue Bots and Cyberverse (and the show that will replace it soon). Like that we know what's coming out and it's not just a select few.
