Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian MaverickPrime, we have news that the Transformers Authentics figures have crossed the ocean and have landed in North America!

He spotted these figures, which are the 3 larger "Alpha" figures, at his local Walmart for $219 MXN, which is around $12 US. The "Alpha" assortment are the 7", roughly voyager sized figures, and they are Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Grimlock. These "Alpha" figures have yet to be seen in America, though the "Bravo" 5" figures have been, but it is nice to know that the "Alphas" have crossed the ocean and at least landed in Mexico. With this sighting, we can only hope that this means that the figures are soon to be seen at US retail.

For those who don't remember, these Authentics figures are based on the new "Evergreen" body style Hasbro is using, and they are larger, cheap toys with short and simple transformations.

Let us know what you think of this North American sighting of the Alpha Authentics below, and let us know if you see these guys showing up elsewhere around the world!

What wall? :???:

On topic, a Walmart of all places? I guess the smaller ones are for the budget chains, while the bigger ones are for big box retailers?

The border wall.

The "wall" is short for Walmart.

Wait, the 5" ones showed up in the US? I must have missed it. When and where?

I am 99% sure we did not have a sighting, but TFW did one, from someone finding them at Dollar General or something like that.

Wait a minute.

This line has "Alpha" figures, and "Bravo" figures.

Authentics Alpha Bravo confirmed. All praise our lord and savior Alpha Bravo.

Thanks to a notification from fellow Seibertronian -Kanrabat- we now have a third video review from the Transformers Authentics toyline, after the ones for Optimus Prime and Grimlock covered here - and the newcomer is none other than The Chosen One, Lord Starscream himself!

Check out the clip embedded below, let us know what you think of this smaller scale (about Legends class) figure's jet and robot mode, and the simpler transformation of the line in general, as the characters take on the 'evergreen' designs meant to call back to a general 'iconic' aesthetic, all in the Energon Pub discussion boards!

I think there has been some confusion.

That is not the new warrior starscream, this is:

That video is instead showing Authentics 4" Starscream, which Chefatron had reviewed back in December. That toy has been available for a while now across the globe, just not in Canada.

Found the 7" one on the retail, decided to get grimlock. Gotta say, i like him more than i expected. The plastic actually doesn't feel cheap in hand. If anything, they feel sturdier than POTP plastic. He is also pretty stable, considering the huge gap on his foot.

That Grimlock desperately need some paint. I'm pretty sure any painters/customizers will have fun painting this guy. I mean, it's like those "paint it yourself" statues you find at the dollar store or hobby shop. That Grimlock fully painted is sure to look pretty boss.

agreed. And with a 10.99$ price, he is a perfect canvas.

We had previously seen a retool of the RID giant Bumblebee figure redone as what we assumed was Cyberverse Bumblebee. However, now that we have our first listing for the figure, on the Kohl's website, we see that this is instead part of the Authentics line, which is a line that also uses those evergreen G1 designs. None of those words appear on the packaging or listing, which simply calls this toy Transformers Super Bumblebee Figure. It is listed for $49.99 USD but certain discounts may apply, and it can be ordered now. This figure is also appearing in Kohl's stores.

Thanks to our own site owner, Seibertron, we now have a new deal! If you wanted to pick a couple of the Authentics 5 inch/Bravo figures, now is your chance to do so! This deal was found in a Walgreens at Des Plaines, Illinois, where you can pick up two Transformers Authentics 5 inch "Bravo" figures each for $6.99, and grab a 3rd extra Authentics figure for free!

These Authentics figure used to be available online, or in General Dollar-esque stores, and there are also 7 inch "Alpha" assortments.

So if you wanted to pick up these simple, inexpensive figures, head out to your local Walgreens, and grab two for the price of one!
