Seibertronian High Command has posted some rather interesting new on future Transformers releases in the UK. Seibertronian and UK Transformers Retailer Ellismodels.com has run through his Hasbro UK order forms with him, giving us details of what we should be seeing in the first UK wave of Cybertron, and news on other Transformers release we may be seeing later in the year.

Transformers Cybertron Wave 1

Scouts: Ransack, Scattorshot, Overhaul and the Railracer Micromaster team.

deluxes: hot shot, thundercracker, dirtboss and landmine
Plus Tesco and Argos also appear to have Sideways and Snarl as possible exclusives.

Voyagers: So far only Crumplezone and Vector Prime have been seen domestically released in the UK.

Ultras: Argos have Jetfire, plus some European overstocks of Scourge and Jetfire have made it to selected Co-ops.

Supremes: Both Starscream AND Metroplex seem to be included in wave one, both as supreme class figures. Although Starscream is not listed on the order forms he has already appeared in Toys R Us stores across the country.

Also It seems like the rumour of 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime and futher G1 reissues at Toys R Us may well be true. They are listed as FOB (special order items) Hasbro UK doesn't keep them in stock but order them when a retailer requests it. Any store that has a wholesale account or is part of a buying group can get them, so its really up to those retailers as to whether we see these toys in the UK or not.

Many thanks to Ellismodels.com for this information!
