This list below is for the RED line which is remaining Walmart exclusive for the next year (but can also be ordered on Hasbro Pulse). It seems it will mainly be redecos/retools with 4 new molds. Also, the release of Cliffjumper now reveals why Bumblebee has a removeable chest piece, it's to make a retool that much easier to do. This would be for the entirety of 2022.
Wave 1:
G1 Galvatron x2
G1 Shockwave x2
Redeco Megatron x1
Redeco Optimus Prime x1
Wave 2:
Prime Optimus Prime x2
Prime Megatron x2
G1 Shockwave x1
G1 Galvatron x1
Wave 3:
G1 Thundercracker x2
Nemsis Prime x2
Prime Optimus prime x2
Wave 4:
Prime Dark Energon Megatron x2
G1 Cliffjumper x2
G1 Thundercracker x2
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

So Hasbro is still pushing on with this line even though it isn't selling...
However they can't seem to keep any WFC stocked at any retailer across the nation.
Odd priorities.

It's just more stock for the shelves. Also, this line seems like an easy one for them cost based wise. Not a lot of new molds and no need for takara designer involvement.

Shockwave might be interesting with clear lines/deco over the siege one. I still havent seen red Knock Out though like most of the Red Prime stuff it's going to be compaing them to original figures and any upcoming Legacy figures before deciding on what to buy.
Thundercrackers a maybe for me as its chest should look better than wfc earthmmodes bots and might be easier to get (not keen on how the null rays sit on wfc earthmode bots either). Galvatron has the possibility of being the best Hasbro Galvatron available for a while even with a lack of two of his modes.

So, is Prime Dark Energon Megatron going to be a new version of Unicron-possessed Megatron from the TV movie? If so, it's a bummer it doesn't transform, but at least we'll have an accurate representation instead of a simple repaint or a Construct-Bots with their buildable aestethic. Also, swappable weapons/hands would be the best way to incorporate his Dark Energon weapons.

Pretty sur he won't be. Instead, a Dark Energon redeco reffers to when he was powering himself with Dark Energon
We've had 2 decos of that in the Prime line.

These have been popping up for a week now but we wanted to let you know just in case. This fourth wave of the Walmart exclusive RED line has the new releases of Optimus Primal and a clear purple Megatron redeco, referencing the moment he becomes Galvatron in the 86 film. They have been found across the US, like Arkansas and Massachusetts. They have also been found in Canada at the same time, and all over as well with reports coming in from Ontario and Alberta. The image below is of a Walmart in Brockville Ontario.

Posted about finding Primal at Walmart in Florida last week. Update, it's a steaming pile of garbage. The hands won't even fit the swords unless you boil them to soften the grip.

Thanks to a post on Weibo, we have out first look at some upcoming toys to come to the Transformers RED line. These are Prime Knockout and Ultra Magnus. Ultra Magnus is a white redeco of Optimus Prime, so an homage to the G1 toy's inner bot. Knockout is a fully new mold. The RED line is still exclusive to Walmart in 2022. Let us know what you think and if you will be picking these up. It seems that while many fans are not enthused by this line, it does sell well enough to keep going and to not remain on shelves too long.

Knock Out is a Day 1 purchase since he'd make for a more interesting purchase than the possible Legacy version since they're not going for 1:1 TFP Knockout.

Knockout looks like a shampoo bottle, due to the flat, lack-of-detail appearance.
I hope I'm wrong.

This is the first Knock Out toy that actually, finally looks like his cartoon design. It's about time he got his due. That Deluxe toy he got back in the day did him no justice.

Still waiting on one that's accurate and is actually a good toy too.
I still feel very salty over RED Arcee. She feels so bad
