Hasbro is the current owner of Micro Machines, but has licensed out the brand to Wicked Cool Toys (a subsidiary of Jazwares) who makes the current toys. Some images have popped up of Transformers themed Micro Machines and, oddly enough, they are all from the Revenge of the Fallen film, including Optimus Prime, Jetfire, Sideswipe, the Arcee sisters, Bumblebee, Ratchet, and Starscream. We can see some faction insignias. It is also the underside which shows us that these are from the latest offerings of the Micro Machine line and not from another line.

We don't know when they will come out, but we will let you know as soon as we get more info. These images are from a Chinese purchasing company Instagram page.

Image Revealing Face of Generations Selects Nightprowler

We had images of upcoming Generations Selects toys the other day, which included Nightprowler, a redeco of Cheetor based on a redeco of the original toy that was planned but was never released. Those images obscured the head and while it wouldn't leave much of an enigma for most redecos, the Kingdom cheetor mold has 2 designated heads, a robot head and a mutant head. And the original Nightprowler was only ever shown twice, one with his robot head and another time with his mutant head (image shown below). So, it could have gone either way. Well, now this image below shows that Nightprowler will come with the Cheetor robot head. Is that the head you preffer this toy to have? Or would you have preferred they go for the mutant head?

This toy will be coming out sometime next year but won't be exclusive to any store, although it will be more easily accessible through online channels.

Transformers Kingdom deluxe Pipes and Slammer have been found at Canadian retail. Seibertronian Matrix Holder found these at a Gamestop in Ontario. They were $30 CAD after use of the platinum edge card. And that means that all deluxes have been found in Canada before the literal year end.

These had initially been found in the US half a month ago.

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

Greetings Seibertronians!

Matrix_Holder is reporting a sighting of Shattered Glass voyager Megatron and Starscream at GameStop in Burlington, Ontario, in Canada! They came out to $40 CAD with use of the platinum edge card.

So this means that this exclusive line from Hasbro Pulse in the USA will be in Canadian GameStop just like for the Kingdom Ravage set! The Shattered Glass deluxes are then likely to appear too.

If the trend continues, Canadians may be able to get most of their Pulse exclusives at GameStop instead of importing them at very high cost. Ordering anything from Pulse costs between 22$US to 30$US plus they charge ALL the Canadian taxes. So being able to get it locally is a boon for Canadians.



To all Canadians out there, happy hunting!

New In hand Images of Transformers Generations Selects Buzzsaw

Yesterday, we had an image of upcoming Generations Selects Buzzsaw, Nightprowler and Guard. Today, we have more images that seem to be taken from the same spot but all focusing on Buzzsaw. Buzzsaw is a redeco of Waspinator with a new head. It is the same head found on the original toy's packaging and it represents the Robot head of the mold (the head on the Waspinator toy reflects the Mutant head instead). This being a Generations Selects release, it will not be exclusive but will be predominantly found online.

Let us know what you think.

Paint Issues on New Retro Tigatron Reissue

Everyone knows what to expect in general from a reissue of the original Beast Wars Tigatron mold, so what I thought would help more than a review is a heads up to the painting defects that you may get on your copy.
This toy is a reissue of the Takara version rather than the Hasbro version, meaning the white is far brighter than the off white chosen on the original Hasbro release. The face is turquoise rather than silver along with other paint app differences which you can see in the gallery contrasting the two original toys.

This reissue, at least my copy, suffers from paint issues in two areas. The face is not properly painted with the paint not covering the entire face and leaving it unpainted as it gets nearer to the eyes. You can see below how the original does not have that problem. There is also an issue with the legs but this one was also found on the original. There is a gap where they are supposed to come together flush. However, this gap is further highlighted by the seam not being properly painted, leaving a white line going down the legs.

But aside from that, the toy feels fine, similar in quality to the original Beast Wars toys and all the joints are nice and tight.

Stock Images Showing Galvatron and Blaster Repacks in Legacy Packaging

If you are worried the upcoming Blaster will be hard to find, don't be. We have images here further confirming he will also be part of the first wave of the upcoming Legacy toyline due out in a couple of months. He will be Bulkhead's wavemate. We also have images showing that the Galvatron repack will also be in the first wave of the Legacy leader class, with G2 Optimus Prime. The leader class packaging can be seen in the images below, where we see that it is closed, like with Masterpiece releases and commander class toys. With a toy like Galvatron which has a possibility of missassembly, that's unfortunate. The stock images show him missing several paint apps, such as the ones used to convey battle damage and the extra paint app on the clear plastic orange. These stock photos should not be taken at face value though since we can see from the Buzzworthy Cliffjumper stock photo, also shown below, that those photos do not show us the final deco (Cliffjumper's windows are clear in these photos and we know they aren't). So we'll only know the truth for Galvatron when he's released. Wave 1 of Legacy will have three repacks then with Hot Rod joining the aforementioned two. These images come to us from In Demand Toys.

First Look at Legacy Nightprowler along with Buzzsaw, Guard and Bluestreak

That didn't take long. We wrote just the other day of upcoming figures in the Generations Selects line and now we have a shot of them. What you will see below is what we are guessing to be Generations Selects Bluestreak, Buzzsaw, Guard and Nightprowler. Of those, only Nightprowler was previously never seen but it does give us further assurance as to the release of the other ones and it's our best look at them yet. Guard is the black Ironhide redeco which is based on his Diaclone release (and subsequently/coincidentally, his Bayverse deco), Buzzsaw is the Waspinator mold with the robot face rather than the mutant head, Bluestreak is the latest Datsun style mold and Nightprowler is based on the Kingdom Cheetor mold.

Most of these are not exclusve to any one retailer but they will be predominantly sold online rather than in stores, as is the case with all Selects releases. If any of these turns out not to be a Selects release, then it can be exclusive. Of course, this could all be fake so take it with a grain of salt just in case.

Tigatron Reissue Released in Canadian Walmarts within an Aisle Standee to Accommodate more Product

Yes, that title is indeed a mouthful but that's because there are two stories here. The first being that the Beast Wars reissue Tigatron is out in North America. We had heard that it was already in cargo ships off the North American coast a little while back and it is finally getting to Canadian stores. A few Americans were worried that the ton of reissues taking up a lot of the available space would spell doom for new product, and that's the other news element here. It seems Walmart is gearing up for hosting a lot more Transformers product than in previous years. Along with their Transformers section, still filled with Beast Wars reissues and overflowing to nearby random shelves (as can be seen in the images below), they have an aisle standee set out to accommodate all the latest product. In this case that is this Tigatron as well as Kingdom wave 4 deluxes, wave 2 of the Cyberverse Roll and Combine figures, and the Studio Series wave 14 deluxes. That's the wave where the only new figure is ROTF Sideswipe.

Breakdown of Upcoming Rise of the Beasts Toyline with Character Names

While we did have some code name listings before, we finally get a full breakdown of the movie line with the characters in it. There is no Battletrap toy in the classes we know of but there is another character we had not heard of yet called Crescent. You will see which characters get a deluxe toy, and which ones are part of the more gimmick driven classes. The entire line seems to mirror the current Cyberverse line where most are toys targeting just kids (as we saw for the Bumblebee line) along with a deluxe class which can appeal to anyone, while not being conscious of scale. Anyone wishing for the ROTF line again can forget that, this is basically the Cyberverse line but for the next movie. Take that as you will.

Now the very interesting part of all this is that these toys were due in 4 months from now, same time as Legacy wave 2. So, will this toyline be delayed to be in stores when the movie is out in 2023, or will it still go to shelves as we saw with the Minions Rise of Gru film? This has been a growing trend with movie delays and associated merchandise and you can read more about that here.

Ok, so without further ado, here is the full Transformers Rise of the Beasts line meant to be out with the film:

Deluxe Class (assortment 5010993983308)

There will also be one steps called 'Power Step' (5010993960736), and class for smaller figures calle Spark Racers (5010993983407), as well as Spark Chargers class (5010993983117) and Roleplay Basic Masks (5010993961238).

So a pretty big line with 10+ classes filled with Beast characters, "G1" characters and the Bad Guys Scourge and Nightbird. Also, the concept art in the Thumbnails is not indicative of final designs, just based on descriptions already given by the film staff, and they are courtesy of Lazlo Ven.
