We wanted to share these images with you just in case it was indeed the first look at a new Transformers Clampdown toy. It uses the Red Alert head, which makes sense since Clampdown has been more of a Red Alert redeco in the past. This image has been found on a few servers and discussion boards with no clear origin. We know Clampdown is part of the Walmart exclusive Velocitron line as we already have listings for him.

Also, for those curious, here is the entire Velocitron line and case assortment:

Velocitron

Deluxe:
Tra Gen velocitron Burnout x2
Tra Gen velocitron Road Rocket x2
Tra Gen velocitron Blurr x2
Tra Gen velocitron Clampdown x1
Tra Gen velocitron Cosmos x1

Voyager:
Tra Gen Velocitron Override x2
Tra Gen Velocitron Road Hauler x1

Leader:
Tra Gen Velocitron Black Convoy x2

The doors are only one color, must be fake.

Thanks for at least getting the title correct. TFW had correct pics and details, but the article Title refers to "Countdown", not Clampdown. I mean I know we got the character with Siege Omega Supreme, but I had false hope for a second, for a full on Micromaster Base...oh well

Talk about timing...based on the conversation leading up to this reveal, it kind of just reinforces the lack of imagination anymore. I literally facepalmed when I saw these pictures. :BANG_HEAD:

Clampdown's been in the leaked listings for this subline ever since Page 1. We knew he was coming.

And it's not like he's some big name, either. He's an obscure, Diaclone-colored E-HOBBY character from 2003.

They don't have the correct details. They state it's Legacy, or ask if it is, but they somehow forgot the news story they themselves wrote first, which revealed case descriptions of Clampdown in the Velocitron line. So now people on their boards are confused if it's Legacy, Selects or something else.

Why did you facepalm? We knew this toy was coming. As is Hauler. Easy but niche redecos.

I'll paraphrase the one show with that one guy..."I drink and I forget things."

Actually, I'm just effing old and forget things.

What were we talking about?

Your preference of the Archer Era vs. the Warden Era.

HAHAHAHA. But seriously, if the Transformers news site that first broke the news about Clampdown forgot he was coming, then anyone can.

I have enough versions of the Sideswipe mold; no, no I don't. Bring on the Earth-style Deep Cover too, then I can have three of the same toy made from one mold and a retool.

Don't forget Tiger Track...and we need a Cybertron mode Clampdown! LOL :-D

I actually skipped that version, the orange/yellow doesn't grab me.

Didn't we get a Cybertron mode clampdown? Or am I just getting confused with all these lambos? (It has been that sort of day)

Re: First Images of Upcoming Velocitron Clampdown (view post)

Comment by RodimusPrimeUkraine1 May 26, 2022

Seems nice so far. The issue is they seem to be using it as a "any random character we want as an exclusive" and a few actual cyber tron Velocitronians. :michaelbay:

We got Cybertron mode Red Alert. similar color scheme, but no Clampdown.

We also got the also similarly looking Cordon from Sunstreaker

There seems to be an inexhaustible amount of white, black and red rescue Lambos in Transformers history.

Wait until they give us R.I.D. Prowl out of Sunstreaker.

Might have been cordon I was thinking of

Took me until just now to realize Clampdown actually uses the earth mode mold. Huh.

TFW found/put up more pics:

Legacy-Clampdown-07.jpeg

Legacy-Clampdown-08.jpeg

Legacy-Clampdown-10.jpeg

Alt mode looks great, robot mode looks...unfinished? Where'd all that off-white/grey come from? That might have taken me from a maybe to a hard pass, honestly, assuming this is indicative of the final product.

Looks great. It's nice to see Hasbro giving the mainstream TF collector market most of the logical recolours and slight remolds.

Keep it up, Hasbro.
