First Look at Transformers RED Ultra Magnus and Knockout

Posted by william-james88 Dec 7, 2021 at 10:46pm CST 30,255 views
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.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

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 for one that transforms though

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?

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.

I can't believe NONE of the 2021 Cyberverse toys were officially released. I just can't wrap my mind around that.

I guess they're not "G1" enough for our new G1-enamored Hasbro team.

You mean revealed, not released, and it isn't that surprising. Toys like Cyberverse are sold mainly to kids and parents, two demos that generally don't keep up on press releases and news reports. No point in a promotional campaign when the store shelves are the first place most of their target buyers are going to see them anyway.

Yes revealed, if they weren't released I'd have some splainin' to do. Let's not forget, they were featured in commercials so there's that.

Funny enough right at the end of the year/after Christmas all my recent Cyberverse reviews got a boost, most of the comments were from parents thanking me for the help.

Yup, one was me :)
And my few reviews also got boosts.

SS86 and most of Legacy are the only things that get official pre-release reveals anymore. We find most of this ourselves

Cyberverse is plenty G1, it's just not made with collectors in mind. Many have been bitching and whining about the line existing since it started, no use spending any resources promoting it to a base that doesn't care about it.

But I actually kinda like it that way, since it gives sites like this one a purpose.
