Authentics Wheeljack Found in the US and Authentics Arcee found in Chile

Ah, so Arcee's gun mounts on top to serve as the...um, crest(?) usually found on the rear of her car mode, making it less likely to get lost than if it just stored underneath. Well done. Will probably pick both of these up on sight.

Yeah, I've been hearing quite a few say this actually works as a G1 arcee since the transformation style fits late G1. So in the end, the simplicity and lack of articulation works to its merrit from that perspective.

Transformers Authentics bravo class Arcee has been found t Dollar General locations in the US since the begining of June. In case you saw it and were not sure if it was worth your hard earned coin or not, we have 2 video reviews for you below. One is from Alex Reynard and the other from Chuck, who also writes about the toy, enjoy!

On the other hand, due to the nature of Authentics, there are some tolerance issues with the legs and arms coming together, while the articulation could be a bit more functional. In general, the plastic doesn't feel as good as it could be. If you're looking for a simple Arcee then the Authentics version might be worth the look.

Amazing that this "G1" Arcee is the one with the less backpack.

I just got "deluxe" Shockwave and he's great! Decent posing, not much hollow spaces compared to the rest, and the transformation is simple yet effective.

Stock pictures show the spaceship flipped over. In the proper orientation, it's great!

Yup, pretty much. But instead of going full Exorcist, he just lay on his back and chill.

Looks a lot like the transformation of the Cyber Series Shockwave.

I like the Cyber Series version more than the Authentics.

Maybe some of you have see them in stores, but Hasbro has a line of Transformers toys aimed at people who want an affordable larger Transformer. This is the Titan Changer line under the Authentics umbrella and so far we have had G1 mainstays like Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, ect. But now, we have our first Beast Wars character too, Optimus Primal. We have an image of the robot mode from The Entertainer website but not the alt mode. While obviously aimed at families on a budget, I'd advise against knocking on these as they do the job fine for kids interested in larger figures and are easy to transform back and forth. I speak from experience as a dad of a four year old who plays with these toys. And it's cool to see Primal get that status of reliable sellers within the TF brand, appealing to younger kids (and most importantly their parents buying the toy). We have also put images of the others in the line to show how the proportions are shared across the line.

Interestingly enough, while Primal will be a big part of the ROTB toyline and there are ROTB Titan Changers coming, this particular toy is not from that line. So we will get more of these soon, but looking more like their movie counterparts.

Why do all the tit!n changers look like simplified cyberverse warrior class that was then upscale into a Voyager no changes, and stretched until it was leader height?

Primal is so skinnyIm sure his alt mode looks like a literal monkey

They all transform differently than the warrior toys.
