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!

I just couldn't see where it would fit in the 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.

I would love it if every Transformers reviewer on Youtube ever would include size comparisons.

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 sent an e-mail to the staff and didn't get any conclusive responses.

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

Yes, that is what they are.
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.

I saw similar ones in Canadian Tire a month or so ago, in the long-ago days when I could shop in a store.
Re: Video Review for Transformers Authentics Ratchet

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.
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!

Yeah this is defintely an evergreen Authentics toy. Also the in-hand images having these other toys makes everything feel weirdly nostalgic.

That last picture makes me wonder if we have enough Barricades for a good top 5.
