Well it turns out the G1 reissue of Astrotrain, now available at Walmart, doesn't actually match the original G1 toy. As can be seen below, the purple is much darker. This makes it a different deco in the end and something different rather than a straight G1 reissue. The images come from stevenmh who posted them on the TFW boards. The official images, which you can see below, did show a darker purple but we weren't sure if it was due to lighting or not. And now we know.
Right as the new year is about to begin, most of the first batch of 2020 offerings for the Cyberverse line can now be found in the US. The Quintesson and Sharkticon multipacks have been found at Target already and now we have reports coming in for the warrior class figures, the ultra class armor figures and the sought after deluxe class figures.
The new warrior figures found include Stealth Force Hot Rod, a repacked Soundwave, Cybertronian Megatron and Cybertronian Bumblebee. They were found at Walmart with the earliest sightings from Virginia. The specific sighting here is from tf fan Daimao.
The new ultra class spark armor figures, like Clobber, have been found at Meijer in New Albany, Indiana, by tf fan primeisboss.
The deluxes, which include Megatron, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Shockwave were found at a Target in Wisconsin by tf fan Jacer. These are the ones that are more articulated and as complex as the Studio Series toys and come with a build a figure component for Maccadam as a bonus.

Greetings Seibertronians! Now that MP-47 is on its way to proud owners, let's check in with next MP to be released, MP-48 Lio Convoy!
Takara Tomy were showing off a new picture on their twitter feed, one of which was posed with a previous Takara Encore release, Anime Big Convoy! It also featured a ghostly Optimus Primal looking on. Check out the pictures below!
Accompanying the picture was this tweet, which we have run through a machine translation.
Nearly the final sample of the MP Rio Convoy has arrived from the developer (()
So I arranged it with the big convoy of the reprint anime color. Japanese beast commander combination.
Anime Big Convoy is a redeco of Big Convoy that aims to be as close to the Beast Wars Neo look of the character.
What do you think of these pictures? Do you have a preorder locked in place for either of these? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.
Thanks to Jtprime17, we now have a big list of most of what is left from the Earthrise line. Most of it is obvious or things many predicted, such as Trailbreaker, Snapdragon, Runamuck and Sunstreaker. But we also have some new stuff like leader class Doubledealer which will likely once again be a voyager sized figure with lots of accessories. We see that Quintesson voyager figure again, this one should be transforming. No inferno yet, but we all know that's just a matter of time. These were all found within the Walmart app through a UPC search.
First we'll start off with what looks like re-releases.

The Walmart exclusive G1 Astrotrain reissue has been spotted at Walmart in the US. Like Soundwave and Optimus Prime, it is also $50 and comes in a gorgeous G1 box. They were found by Michael who found them at a Walmart in Farmingdale N.Y. It was the only one on the shelf. He posted it on Facebook and our fellow Seibertronian Lorekeeper sent this our way.
If you find them at those prices in your area, please let other fans know in our boards right here.
Fans are getting their Transformers Masterpiece Hounds from Amazon Japan and we already have not one but two video reviews, which you can see below. These include the transformation which is rather intricate, as fans would expect. As just a word of precaution, there have also been some breakage reports, some either already broken in the box or after the first transformation and it is all in regards to some tight hinges. A fan took to Twitter with a rather dramatic image that you can see here. These are just early reports of course and just as many have received flawless copies.
Please let us know how your copy turned out and if you are enjoying him!
Great news to anyone who held off, the Walmart exclusive reissue of Soundwave has been priced for clearanced at some Walmarts. The sighting below comes from our friend Ironhidensh who is in Indiana. Clearance is at the store level and not nation wide so it could be that your Walmart keeps the same price or is already sold out of Soundwave. The clearance price here is $30. The cassette packs are also being clearanced. Their price is $11. That's 40-45% off the original prices.
If you find them at those prices in your area, please let other fans know in our boards right here.
Yesterday, an unannounced Cyberverse three pack was found on Target shelves, and now, we have once another sighting of another new item! That being the "Sharkticons Attack" four pack, with a redeco of One Step Changer Hot Rod in the Stealth Force colors, and three new Sharkticons. By the tribal markings, two belong to the Snouts, and one belongs to the Tails. Each of these fellas can transform into BotBot sized robot modes, as seen in the pictures below. The set was found in a Target at Victoria, Texas for 20 USD.
These images come from u/Valdor99 over at r/transformers. What are your thoughts on this second unannounced set? Will you buy this set if you spot it? Let us know in the Pub forums below!
Botbots Series 4 is in full swing. We have written a few articles about that series already and where they can be purchased or where they were sighted. A summary of all that info with links will be below. For now, I want to bring to your attention some images of the 5 packs and 8 packs. The 5 packs have been available on Amazon for a little while and the 8 packs can be ordered at Entertainment Earth. Neither of these have been found at brick and mortar retail so far (if they have, please let us know).
The 5 packs are magic and science themed. The 8 packs are outdoor themed and movie theatre themed.
