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.

Where they have been previously?

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.

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.

That's another line I hear in relation to the Authentics line. There's a lot of eyes on the product but that doesn't necessarily translate into sales.

Walmart Canada has some new Transformers toys that were not seen in the country before. These are the 10 inch Grimlock and Starscream from the Authentics line. They are leader sized but at the deluxe price. So very simple, yet big and inexpensive for younger fans to have a big transforming toy that they can transform by themselves and that wont break the bank. These use the Evergreen designs we have seen in the past.
They were 19.99 CAD, 15 USD. The previous wave was exclusive to Walmart in Canada, so this will probably be the same. You can see images of the toys along with their transformation schemes below.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

They are CHEAPER than deluxe. 1/3 off.
And those are way more interesting than the good ol' Rescue Bots for sure.

Having known, I'd have told my friend on the phone who was shopping for his neightbor's young child.

Grimlock looks like he has Mickey Mouse shorts on, complete with buttons.

Are these sold anywhere in America? Never seen them in stores here, seems like something you'd see at Walgreens, Big Lots, or Dollar General.

I think those might be the Authentics Titan Changers. The Megatron and Optimus sure look similar enough.

And Emerge, people have reached out on Facebook, these showed up at Aldi's in the US. Looks like it's old news US wise, but these were never really reported.

Canadian Tire had the smaller ones that look like what we see in the link below:

https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/tran ... ds#store=9

These are the 10 inch ones, pretty sure they never went to Canadian Tire.

Canadian Tire did have a 10 inch Bumblebee and Optimus but those are form the cyberbattalion line, not from Authentics/Evergree.

You're right. The packaging is similar, but the link is definitely the ones I saw. But I'm certain I saw Ratchet, too, even though the website doesn't show him.

I saw those big 20$CAN figures in my Walmart.

Big OOOOOFFFFF..... Those may be the ugliest Transformers I've ever seen. Ultra tall, ultra thin, ultra hollow.
:SICK:

Rescue Bots, small 1 steps, and Ultra/Ultimate class Cyberverses are way better looking and seems more solid than those "dollar stores knock off" for the young child TF beginner.

2021 is shaping up to be all kinds of random. Take this news for instance. A Transformers fan in Chile posted these images online of a new Barricade toy they found. Since they found the deco to be lacking, they applied extra deco themselves. While it makes the legitimacy of this new toy suspect, they do indicate that it is trademarked Hasbro 2021. From the look of it, this is Barricade in his evergreen design which is heavily influenced from his Transformers The Last Knight look. So this could be an upcoming new toy in the Authentics line.

Let us know what you think!

Movie Centric is understandable, the character we know best started in the Movie Verse. So he'll have some movie verse toys and some crossover toys. It's like how a top seeker list would have 1 or 2 movie toys in there among other incarnations.

JelZe, your list overlooks the toys from the BB movie toyline.

Yeah, did the Generations-style only on purpose to keep it manageable. The Movie lines go overboard with toys every single time.

About "Barricade" fitting police cars, Hasbro's C.O.P.S. line had a character named Barricade as a Crowd Control Specialist.

As Jelze themselves confirmed to you, they were only talking about figures catered to collectors and the like, which is what I correctly interpreted from their post. So I was pointing out that there were a myriad of barricades out there that we don't really care to remember or not.

Anyways, I personally like the tiny turbo changer but the list will include one slot each for the Earthrise and Siege version. Not sure which is superior though. I really love the colours on Siege.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Jtprime17, has made a discovery of product codes for the Authentics line. These concern the recently discovered existence of Authentics Barricade (shown here to be in the Bravo Class of figures) and Shockwave! Shockwave will be Alpha Class.

For those unaware of the differences, Alpha Class figures are 7" while Bravo figures are 5".

Heres what Jtprime17 shared:

Jtprime17 wrote:Tra Gen Authentics Bravo Barricade
Product Number: F0524

Tra Gen Authentics Alpha Shockwave
Product Number: F0526

The Authentics line uses the Evergreen designs for all the figures and are intended to be a low cost alternative, so all kids can enjoy the fun of Transformers. They are not as complex as their Generations cousins.

Have you picked up any of the Authentics line?

Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I'm honestly super happy to at least see the "Evergreen" Barricade design used, instead of a smokescreen repaint. The Evergreen design makes so much more sense and is a lot more interesting than another datsun use. I hope he gets more than just an authentics release in that body style

I hope so too, its a great evolution of the character
