There are a couple of interesting things to note about these releases. First and foremost, Ectotron comes packaged in blister packaging, rather than the retro style box that his first release came in. Those retro style boxes look great on the Headmaster "reissues", and though the Headmaster partners retain their Titans Return name spellings, Weirdwolf actually gets his original name back, having been called "Wolfwire" in the previous release of the mold. The R.E.D. releases of Prime Arcee and Cheetor showcase their Action-Master (aka non-transforming) style figures, though curiously, Cheetor's head appears to be cast in a bronze colored plastic, rather than the yellow and gold of his package art. And last, but not least, B-127 is confirmed to be the full official name of of the figure.

So what do you think of these new photos? Do you plan to pick up any of these figures? Please feel free to discuss these below!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

It just hit me.

Do you guys suppose that the Bumblebee's Cybertronian name being "B-127" was chosen because 127 is an anagram for 217, as in "Ladiesman217"? ;)

Probably not, but it's an interesting coincidence.

And I'm sure there are a lot of fans wetting their boy shorts over Dino right now.

Isn't B127 Bumblebee 's name in the Hearts of Steel comic?

It's what was written online as an answer to the question.

Well, before I responded, I skimmed over the the first two chapters of the story and he refers to himself as Bumblebee, even when introducing himself to John Henry.

Where was this online Q&A?

Not a q&a just a discussion online where someone asked the question. Just search on Google and you'll probably end up in the same TFW thread. It's just someone's answer, I never read the comic.

That part is rather confusing since usually, releases with comics are just for the US (or international importers) but this also has multiple languages on the box. :???:

Plot twist, the speech bubbles just have the dialogue in 30 languages. :-s

Is it still selling for that ridiculous amount we saw earlier or has the price dropped to a reasonable price.

I'm excited for Dino, Ectotron, and Arcee. Eck should be shipping here soon too, he's supposed to arrive next week. And since my Vertebreak and Gigatron just shipped I expect him to ship too.

I didn't preorder Arcee, I tried once and had it cancelled, so I'll wait until its in stores.

Dino I preordered from Pulse, really excited for him.

I'm also considering Highbrow, he is the one headmaster reissue that I like, and I like how he looks a lot

Thanks for the heads up, no idea why Pulse won't send me the premium email until 230

Greetings Seibertronians! Today I bring good news for all Transformer fans in the United Kingdom! As, we've learned from toy reviewer, Thew's twitter account, and fellow Seibertron user, Blackeyedprime, that Hasbro had finally set up the UK arm of their Hasbro Pulse website!

Image

This means another place for UK Transformer fans to get their figures and future Exclusives from (indeed, you can preorder the recently revealed Transformers Selects G2 Ramjet figure). Currently the Transformers selection is limited to the releases seen this year so far (Studio Series 86 wave 1 deluxes, Voyagers and leader Grimlock, Studio Series Bumblebee Voyager Class Starscream, Deluxe B127 and Dino, all Kingdom Waves 1 + 2, as well as all crossover figures made so far.)

It should also be pointed out that the Buzzworthy Bumblebee releases are also featured under the Exclusives tab, along with MPM-12 Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime.

Hopefully going forward, we'll see a greater synchronisation between what is released in the American store and the UK one, meaning we shouldn't miss out on any future exclusives but time will tell on that.

Hasbro are advertising a special offer for buyers wishing to join their premium subscription, as seen in the image below:

Image

It's not all good news however, as expected, its UK only meaning European Transformer fans, among many others will not be able to buy from the site unless having a UK postal address.

So what does our UK fans think about this news then? Excited about getting exclusives straight from the source?
