New Transformers Authentics - Alpha Soundwave, Bravo Ratchet, Titan Changers Starscream and Grimlock

Posted by D-Maximal_Primal Jan 15, 2020 at 5:48pm CST 41,866 views
Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Fc203, we have news that the Transformers Authentics line at the Family Dollar, which has given us some nice Transformers, has some new reveals that will be hitting the shelves here very soon.

Up first is the smallest class, the Bravo class, which up until now had featured Grimlock, Starscream, Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee. The newest figure to join this class is Ratchet, who is also in his evergreen design and hues very close to his recent Cyberverse Spark Armor toy. He will be available along with the rest of the previously released figures.

Next is the Alpha class, which featured Grimlock, Optimus, Bumblebee, and Megatron. The newest addition to this class is Soundwave, who also hues close to a recent Cyberverse toy, in this case the Warrior class figure. He will also be available with his fellow previously released figures.

And finally, we have the Titan changer, the larger figures that transform in a couple of steps. Previous members of the class included Megatron, Bumblebee, and Optimus, and they are now joined by Grimlock and Starscream.

All of the new figures are most likely on their way to stores now, so keep an eye out for these latest Authentics figures, and let us know if you spot them!

I know these Authentics figures should have lowered expectations, and some of them look decent, but Titan Grimlock looks embarrasing while Soundwave has a puny visor. Still, these would be neat for a stop motion where a universe of goofy G1 characters exists.

I would love to see that Soundwave as a Deluxe or Voyager.

"Puny visor" seems like a pretty minor nitpick for what is otherwise a decent-looking Soundwave. As for Grimlock, Titan Changers are a Leader-sized figure for around half the price of a deluxe, so yeah, your expectations might be too high.

These look fantastic, is it too early to start naming toy of the year? I'm still waiting on an Alpha Starscream.

soundwave looks neat! i actually dig the cyberverse (or evergreen) style of soundwave, but never picked up the warrior class due to lack of neck joint. this one seems to solve that. if i saw him around my area for the same price as the rest, i'll definitely pick it up.

And Walgreens, though usually only during the holidays. And yes, Dollar General as well.

I'm waiting on them to release Bravo Alpha Bravo and if that figure is as good as I expect, I'll upgrade to Alpha Alpha Bravo!

I'm sure dollar tree sightings would interest people. Could you take pics next time to show which of these authentics do they have there and what are the prices?

Do you remember the Authentics line? Those were official dollar store type Transformers for younger fans (or more likely their parents shopping at Family Dollar). Well chuckdawg1999 has a review of the Soundwave that was supposed to show up. We don't have word that it has made it's way to stores yet, so if it did, please let us know. In the meantime, enjoy the review and let us know what you think.

Obvious hollow legs are obvious, but that Soundwave look pretty damn good overall and it offer neat little tricks. Plus, highly posable so that's surprising.

If I come across it in the wild, I may pick him up.

I would love a size comparison with the Warrior Cyberverse version and other Transformers.
He looks good, I like the Authentics line, hope they do more.
And hopefully they make all the Cyberverse cartoon figures!!!

Fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg wrote in to say he had gotten his hands on Authentics Ratchet and made a review, which you can find below.

While these may not be figures on most fans' want list, it is good to know what's out there and we can all live vicariously through Chuck to see if we are indeed missing out on these, or not. Enjoy!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Ratchet is a fun little figure and the perfect introduction to the character. Transformation is interesting with a sliding gimmick that adds quite a bit of heft to the figure namely in the legs. Definitely worth a pick-up to add to your Authentics collection.
