I just sighted 3 of the Quintesson autotrooper and 2 of the sparkless barricade at my local walmart in Easley south Carolina! happy hunting!

Another situation, sometimes the alt mode just isn’t necessary. Like the recent Dead Optimus Prime. I don’t need that to transform. What am I gonna do, make him a dead truck? He’s going to lay on a slab, looking dramatic. If the money for the tooling to make him transform had been used instead for a light feature, to light up the matrix, or make his eyes flicker out, I would have loved that.

Other times, it might be a character who doesn’t have an official alt mode. Alpha Trion never transformed in the G1 cartoon, so this figure focuses on maximum animation accuracy instead. A huge amount of him is die cast metal, and he comes with a bunch of additional parts to change him into the different ages he was shown in the episodes he was in.

Well, in this specific case, the transparent figures are an homage to Henshin Cyborg, the great granddaddy 1972 toyline Transformers’ lineage can be traced back to. That’s also why they’re called “Super Cyborgs”.

It seems like with every other week comes the release of another version of the Siege Sideswipe mold. The Walmart exclusive WFC Netflix line brings us our second version of the previously Japanese exclusive Deep Cover character, forgoing its usual black and blue look for a navy blue deco splotched with battle damage. Surprisingly, this is the most solid version of the mold I've handled, your mileage may vary though. There's not a lot new to recommend here so buy the figure if you're really, really into the mold.

Heres another amazing Japanese exclusive figure. God Ginrai! The original is so different to the hasbro version. This guy had a die cast cab, loads of silver chrome. Translucent blue windows, not stickers and much more. This is the original Japanese 1988 version. An awesome figure.

Tons of huge news this week! Pick ups, and we take a look at Five faces of Darkness part 2. All of this and we are joined by Optimus Wilbur!

"Ground Control to Major Prime." We blast off into Orbit with my Review of the Galactic Odyssey Rescue Mission 6-Pack.

Picked up almost the whole wave yesterday at my Walmart miss marked only paid 5 dollars a piece they put them under clearance by mistake

It's unfortunate but I'm not excited for any of these. I may get Cheetor, anything else will be a complete impulse Buy

I saw the Sparkless Bot and Ironhide Drone here in California yesterday
