I believe they are new. I saw them last week in Arizona and just yesterday here in Northern California.

Found these new Transformers Cyberverse Adventures figures including the Ultimate class Energon Armor Optimus Prime and Shockwave as well as Legends class Battle for Cybertron Ramjet, Dead End, Grimlock and more at the Colma Target stores in Northern California.

Following the initial surge of Transformers War For Cybertron Earthrise Deluxe figures, I spotted the Wave 1 Leader, Voyger and Master classes on the shelves at the Daly City Target in Northern California.

I feel bad for Super7, they were going to do this first but then Hasbro went and did their own with the Rescue Bots EPIC Optimus Prime. Very interested to see what this looks like. I really hope its not a bigger version of the Cyborg mold. ?

Yeah, feels like this whole toy is a step down from the BWII C-16 Lio Convoy. I get what they are trying to do with the real cartoon look. IMO, the MP line should follow a much higher standard in design without compromises like this.

Super impressed with all these 3P Legends class mini-MP figures.

ReAction Figures are only the Beginning – ReAction Figures continue to lead the way, but look for an expanded line of Supersize figures and an incredible range of toys and products from Super7 in 2020. It begins with this month’s awesome Super Shogun Transformers Optimus Prime PreOrder, a massive 24’’ collector’s figure paying homage to Super7’s very first domestic toy release back in 2010.

Thanks to Kevin Liu's Transformers page we have some images showing how the Transformers War for Cybertron: Earthrise Leader Optimus Prime trailer works quite nicely with the SIEGE, SS-38 Cybertron: Bumblebee Movie, and SS-44 Studio Series DOTM Prime figures. All we need is a roller and we're good to roll out! Check out the gallery images for the full look. Click Image to Read the Full News Story Now

Please do, this is basically your topic. You and everyone else are welcomed to post updates as much as you like.

WOW! They traditionally don't allow video at the Toy Fair panels so this should be very interesting to see.

Mee too. Found everything I wanted in Arizona last week except for Wheeljack.

^^^ Indeed, it won't be cheap.

Very GOOD point! But that is Hasbro. I wonder if Takara TOMY have moved to biodegradable materials as well?

Yes, I have noticed the stress marks as well and way too many floppy figures. Its really disappointing to finally find what you want only to discover it can't be played with.

AH, that's right, I remember that! Now that we have major oil surpluses around the world. Hasbro and Takara have not reversed course. I think we can all draw our own conclusions from that. For me, this is rather tragic I as I paid A LOT for the MP-44 and I don't want to even open it because of all the known problems and messy paint apps. It will just get me upset. This is the opposite of what toys are for.

Rattrap: Man, this thing wasn't built, it was poured. Optimus Primal: Diecast construction... It's a lost art. Even just a decade ago, Transformers toys were made with a good amount of heft that included bigger figures and die-cast parts to handle the rough play that transforming robot toys are going to encounter. Today, things have changed with 3D modeling, computers have made it possible do more with less giving us smaller, lighter, and more hallow toys than before. These more efficient designs seem to have permeated everything from the kid friendly Cyberverse line all the way up to the adult priced Masterpiece figures that may be the most problematic of all when it comes to build quality issues.

HOLY BOT FEST! That is one epic collection. I love all the Beasts, Animated, Prime, and subsequent like you have. Likewise, I do not like the movie toys either and have very few myself. Thanks for sharing, Your collection has been feature on the collectors corner.

Nice!

THX! Its been a long time since I thought about Energon. Easy to forget what great toys they were.

The official Flame Toys page @flametoyshk has posted a somewhat confusing announcement about their "[Furai model] Megatron IDW (Decepticon version)" that appears to be reissue of the Autobot version with a Decepticon symbol instead of the Autobot, which effectively makes this a reissue variant, good news for those who missed the first run AND you can get $5 off the price on preorders. Read on for the official details, images and pre-orderlinks. Click Image to Read the Full News Story Now

Hahaha, we should come to expect by now that Hasbro's toons always take a nose dive in Season 3.
