With the release of Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom toys just around the corner, I thought I'd try to finish up a few more galleries of figures from the first wave this past weekend. Special thanks to the Transformers brand team at Hasbro for sending us early copies of Kingdom last month.

Next up to get the Seibertron.com extensive gallery treatment is none other than Kingdom Voyager Class K-8 Optimus Primal. The Maximal leader gets what might arguably be the best representation of him released at regular retail to date. Hasbro and Takara Tomy really outdid themselves with this amazing action figure. While keeping with scale, Optimus Primal is a tad smaller than most Voyagers. However, what he lacks in size he more than makes up with features and posability. In addition to his iconic shaped swords, he also features his shoulder cannons and forearm cannons as well. While his robot mode harkens back to his Beast Wars cartoon look, his beast mode is a more realistic gorilla appearance this time around. It is a fantastic update to a much beloved character.

Optimus Primal and the rest of War for Cybertron Kingdom are due to be released in the near future at retail. Some of these products should arrive at the Seibertron Store later this week. You can also pre-order Kingdom products at online stores like Amazon.com as well as our various advertisers.

Will you be adding Optimus Primal to your collection? Are you a big fan of Beast Wars and are excited to see the Maximals and Predacons return to the main retail line? Share your thoughts about Primal and the other Kingdom galleries on our forums here.

Oh, so the sword grips, DON'T have to stick out in gorilla mode, contrary to every pic of this toy I've seen until now. Maybe I should have just cared enough to look harder before, but still, thanks for clearing that up, Seib!

Not that I needed any persuading to buy this entire line, possibly twice over to give to my younger relatives...and maybe kids of longtime friends I bonded with over BW...

Just got Warpath, Cheetor, Blackarachnia, and Paleotrex today.. first thing that hit me was the lack of the plastic shell that Siege and Earthrise had, instead they were just plastic tied to the cardboard backing; wonder why that is.

The figures themselves are decent, with Warpath being the best of the 4 imo. They just don't fit well with each other, and that's a shame after the previous 2 lines of WFC figures

Nothing has been said that he can't be there later in a darker color. But that would be even stranger. A toy accurate purple over the animation accurate lavender? A non animation accurate re-deco in an animation accurate line of so far new molds?

I would disagreee that that color is accurate. Just watched some G1 Season 3 last night while cropping photos. It looks darker to me. It seems to depend on which episode you're talking about and even which scene. I'm not a fan of the lighter lavender and prefer the darker coloring.

In the movie, though, which is what you're trying to shoehorn him into the toyline it's being repped by, he was the lighter purple.

Now, that said, while I don't see them putting him into Studio Series, I can certainly see them rereleasing this mold at some point in some other capacity. One of my favorite shots in your gallery was the one with Nightstick (where he was also the darker purple in Rebirth). There's a possibility right there for you.

It's interesting to see many of the more prevalent Youtube reviewers are getting the wave 1 deluxes at the same time as some of us who pre-ordered them (it's nice to feel more even availability for once). Of course those who are waiting for retail stores, are still going to have to wait, I get it. But the odd thing is, they all seem to be doing the same thing. If they favor the original series they review Warpath First. If they favor BW they review BA & Cheetor first. But Poor Paleotrex.... Probably a mix of both because he is the highest numbered (K7), and also because he is a Brand New character he is getting relegated to last review for pretty much all of them. I guess it is all about views... But for me Paleotrex was the ONLY toy from Wave 1 I picked up. I really like the others, but they just don't quite fit into my collection, and every once in a while something new and fascinating comes along and Paleotrex is it. I hope he becomes a breakout star (no pun intended) of the first wave despite the fact that a real personna has yet to be developed for him.

The next toys from the upcoming Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom line to get the gallery treatment are WFC-K7 Paleotrex and WFC-K3 Vertebreak.

Deluxe Class Paleotrex is a Fossilizer, similar in functionality to the Siege Weaponizers (which become accessories and weapons that are compatible with other Transformers). His alternate mode is the fossilized bones of a Tyrannosaurus rex. Core Class Vertebreak, while her alternate mode is a fossilized dinosaur that resembles a Dracorex, is not a Fossilizer.

Both figures are part of first wave of War for Cybertron Kingdom products which will be available at brick-and-mortar retail soon and have already begun showing up at online retail.

The next Transformers action figure to get the Seibertron.com gallery treatment is none other than Optimus Prime himself. This version of the famed Autobot Leader is from the War for Cybertron Earthrise series.

WFC-E11 Leader Class Optimus Prime includes his iconic Ion Blaster and Combat Deck/Trailer. As an added bonus, some of the photos of Optimus show off his new accessories which were included with the Generations Selects Centurion Drone Weaponizer pack. Among these bonus accessories are a larger Ion Blaster, his energy axe and his drone partner Roller.

The Earthrise version of Optimus Prime was part of the initial wave of Earthrise, originally released around March 2020. The repackaged Kingdom version is showing up at retail currently, with most sightings being found at Target stores in the US. Optimus Prime is currently available online at online retailers like Amazon.com.

Optimus Prime is also a carryover from Earthrise to the first wave of Kingdom. Presumably, the toy is the same. I didn't open WFC-K11 Optimus Prime to confirm, however. Some of the pictures in the gallery feature Optimus Prime alongside other Kingdom series Transformers as well as ones released in Earthrise. Also included are images of Kingdom Optimus Prime's packaging and collector card.

Have you added Optimus Prime to your collection? Share your thoughts either way here in our topic about Seibertron.com's new galleries from Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise.

Just checking, there is absolutely no difference between the Earthrise and Kingdom versions outside of packaging, right? Because I really don't need a third version of this mold, I'm trying to save money.

I passed on the chance to grab the Earthrise Prime a couple months back and now I can’t find him anywhere, so hopefully the Kingdom figure hits stores in my neck of the woods eventually.

Prime and Primal both seem to be in decent quantity as I keep seeing those two along with a few Warpaths. I probably hit four different Target stores this weekend and at least one Prime was at each along with Baby Prime.

I can't confirm that because I didn't open the Kingdom one I had in hand. I'm assuming the factory stamp is different but other than that, it should be the same as has been the example thus far with other repackages recently.

Really wish they had done his face right around his eyes. It needs the silver, especially to make his eyes stand out. The urge to grab a silver sharpie marker is high!

All the stores in my area are completely barren. Walmart only has a couple Deluxe Siege Prowl and Chromia’s. Toys R Us only has a bunch of Earthrise Starscream and a couple Siege Astrotrain’s. EB Games just has Cyclonus and Warpath from Kingdom. Shelves have basically been empty since November.

Greetings Seibertronians!

After some away time, capturing the enormity of the Chaos Bringer himself (and a couple of other Unicrons), the Seibertron Galleries turn their focus back to the Kingdom line!

Today, we're looking at Wave 1 Core Class Rattrap and Wave 1 Deluxe Class Cheetor. These two (along with Voyager Class Optimus Primal) gave us three out of the five starting Maximals. In the Galleries (linked below) you'll see them conpared to their past versions, spread across different lines. Cheetor as a character has now appeared in projects outside of Beast Wars, in the Cyberverse TV series and is rumoured to be a character to appear in one of the many Live Action Transformers movies. Rattrap, aside from Beast Wars, appeared as Starscreams aide in the first IDW Transformers universe, when the latter was ruling Cybertron.

Of course, you can also see them in a pitched battle with the rest of the Kingdom Wave 1 releases.

Check out the galleries below:

War for Cybertron: Kingdom Rattrap (131 images) - Core Class

War for Cybertron: Kingdom Cheetor (153 images) - Deluxe Class

Have you seen any of these, or Wave 2 in your stores? Let us know via our sightings page!

Want to discuss them? Head here to talk about these Kingdom figures and all the rest revealed so far!

Love the galleries! I wish I had more luck scoring Kingdom figures in the wild here (Oregon) -- but I've already had to go online for the must-haves. I'd love Cheetor and Airazor especially, but if I don't find 'em, I'm chalking it up to the universe telling me I'm good with the ones I have.

All 3 Core guys from Wave 1 are neat, Cheetor's cool despite the weapon and feeling a little cheap, Blackarachnia is great, Paleotrex is underrated, Warpath is cool, Optimus Primal and Cyclonus are equally great, and Megatron is outstanding.

Greetings Seibertronians! Site owner, Seibertron, has been getting busy with his camera again, returning to previous toylines. Today, he is filling gaps within the first installment of the epic, War for Cybertron toyline, Siege!

The subjects today are the Rainmakers: Acid Storm, Ion Storm and Nova Storm. These three were sold as a Target Exclusive in the states, all being redecos of the very well recieved Siege Voyager Class Cybertron Mode Starscream, who turns into a tetrajet. The tetrajet is modelled like the ones that Skywarp and Thundercracker turned into back in the pilot of the Generation 1 Transformers cartoon.

The mould itself recieved a lot of use. It was redeco'ed (and given two alternate heads) for the following figures: Siege Starscream, Siege Thundercracker, Siege Skywarp (as part of the Amazon Exclusive Phantom Strike set, the Netflix Transformers WfC Voyager Sparkless Seeker, Netflix Transformers WfC Voyager Hotlink, the Target Red Card Exclusive Red Wing, and these three.

Check out the galleries, and a few choice images below:

War for Cybertron: SIEGE Acid Storm (128 images) - Voyager Class

War for Cybertron: SIEGE Nova Storm (112 images) - Voyager Class

War for Cybertron: SIEGE Ion Storm (111 images) - Voyager Class

Did you get these figures? What was your experience with them? Have they added a dash of colour to your Decepticon displays?

It was only revealed less than a week ago, but Seibertron himself was able to get his hands on the new Buzzworthy Bumblebee Worlds Collide set. This 4-pack is set to be a Target exclusive this summer, and includes the Predacons Nemesis Primal, an Optimus Primal retool and redeco; and Blackarachnia, a retool and redeco of Kingdom Blackarachnia in her original Beast Wars toy colors. Also included is Bumper Bumblebee, a retool and recolor of Siege Cliffjumper with the appropriate Bumblebee head, though sadly not his elusive VW Beetle mode.

But the star of the set is none other than everyone's favorite winged wolf, the Decepticon Fangry! His original toy was released near the tail end of the G1 line in America, as a small Headmaster toy, along with his partner Brisko. Fangry's first update actually came during Titans Return in the form of Titan Master Fangry. He came as a small robot modeled after Brisko who could turn into the head of any compatible toy, and also included a small toy he could interact with in different ways, turning into either a dragon, a blaster, or when he combined with it, his original beast mode. While a cool little toy, it didn't quite satisfy those looking for a full sized update. But thanks to a heavy retool of the Titans Return Grotusque toy, we now get Fangry in all his Deluxe sized glory! Being faithful to the G1 toy, we now have an update to Brisko, Nebulos' most infamous cartographer, as well. Seibertron has been hard at work creating galleries for all of Fangry's most recent toys, and you can enjoy the fruits of that labor by checking out these three new galleries!

Take a look at the preview pictures below, and click on any one of them to be taken to that toy's specific gallery. You can also confirm the UPC and DPCI (Target specific inventory codes) codes below as well, which are DPCI 087-16-8265 and UPC code 5010993854783. Most Target stores are expecting the set in the next couple of weeks.

That sure didn't take long Seibertron. I'm so in love with that Blackarachnia, the colors just make it look like one helluva scary, venomous spider. It's what a younger me saw when I would squint at her toy to make it look like her show self.

Besides that, I'd maybe like Fangry, but that's it. It goes without saying for Bee and his D20 die, but I would almost really want Nemesis Primal if his fur wasn't black. I already have Kingdom Primal. I think stark white fur would look great, really kind of accentuates that evil clone counterpart concept they were going for.

Re: New Gallery: Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom WFC-K8 Optimus Primal (2110247)
Posted by Seibertron on July 14th, 2021 @ 6:01pm CDT

I think the white fur would look awesome on Nemesis Primal also. Though I could totally go for an Ultra Primal or Primal Magnus or something along those lines in Ultra Mammoth or (preferably) Ulta Magnus colors.

Now you’re talking! Maybe we could finally get that Rodimus Primal I’ve read about before on the Wiki. Basically, if black is the main color for a character, and that doesn’t change for their evil counterpart, it’s like eh? A little purple and turquoise isn’t quite enough.

Ah damn, at this point only the PotP mold would work huh. That reminds me of how much of a shame it is we may never see new Transmetals or Fusors for a looong time. I still have hope for a new Silverbolt and Quickstrike.

I *think* I have that? I get confused with those black repaints in the Robot Masters line. I really need to figure out which ones I have and which ones I don't and knock out their galleries after all of these years.

Coming in hot on the heels of Decepticon Fangry, Seibertron brings us a gallery of another figure from the same Worlds Collide 4 pack, Blackarachnia! Her deco and new head might leave some of you scratching your heads, because this is not how she looked in the Beast Wars cartoon. But that's what her regular retail release in the Kingdom line was for. This release of the Predacon femme fatale is an homage to her original toy that was released in 1996. That figure was a simple redeco of Tarantulas, which looked nothing like her show model. But many Beast Wars fans may like this version of of Blackarachnia if it reminds them of the toy they had as a kid.

Seibertron captured some fantastic shots of this soon-to-be released Target exclusive, including some comparisons to the figure she's decorated to look like, shots with her Predacon brethren, her regular retail Kingdom release, and the rest of her packmates. Those hoping to do a spider leg switch with the Kingdom version will be happy to see that Seibertron has done it for you, so you can see what that'll look like. Click on any picture below to be taken to these high class galleries.

War for Cybertron: Trilogy Blackarachnia (185 images) - Deluxe Class

Additionally, in order to help those looking to locate this pack when it's released at Target in the next couple of weeks, we've included screenshots of the UPC code on the box, as well as the Target listing showing the DPCI code (Target's internal inventory code).

Happy Hunting, Seibertronians!

Nope, can't really see the resemblance. In terms of paint/colour choices, it looks like a cheap Knockoff. They should have just painted it in "Fox Kids/Halloween" colours, and then called it a different character?

They were going for a blend of her original toy and it's included artwork.

I'd say they hit it pretty dead on.

just needs a green shirt, ball cap and a bowtie.

as for the Blackarachnia, she is garish, hideous, with something of a "lady of the night" look to her, which just adds to the over all look of foogly

They were going for a blend of her original toy and it's included artwork.

I'd say they hit it pretty dead on.

I was gonna say, I don't remember the original toy having a leopard print bra on, but this makes SLIGHTLY more sense.

Still looks terrible, though. The original toy is kind of ghastly colored already, this pushes it way over the top.

I'd say its pretty spot on, recreating the original toy colors:

They look pretty much thew same to me. Maybe the orange is little brighter and the green a little lighter on Buzzworthy BA.

If you really think about it, it actually makes brilliant savage sense. The maximals are birds or mammals, with more than a few being large cats. She's wearing the skin of her enemies, as a bra.

Savage, and I must have her.
