Thanks to Transformers Peru on Facebook, we can report that Transformers Authentics 5 & 7 inches and Cyber Battalion Wave 2 & 3 were Spotted at Peruvian Retail.

Transformers Authentics were found at Plaza Vea Supermarket in Jockey Plaza Mall. Authentics 5-inches were sold for only 19.90 Peruvian Soles which is $6.20 and Authentics 7-inches were 39.90 Peruvian soles which is $12.40. These are very good prices for Peruvian market. 

Cyber Battalion figures were found for the first time at Peruvian retail. Both Wave 2 with Jetfire and Prowl, and Wave 3 with Sideswipe and the highly expected Shockwave were spotted at Tai Loy store in La Molina. Only 79.90 Peruvian Soles, or $25 approximately for any of them. Another very competitive price compared to other figures at retail and other previous lines.

Happy hunting for all Peruvian fans! Keep reporting your sightings all around the world at the 2005 Boards!

Each figure is sold for 79.90 Peruvian Soles which is $24.80 approximately. This is definitively a better price than The Last Knight Deluxes which were sold for 99.90 Soles or $31 dollars.

Happy hunting for all Peruvian fans! Time to grab new figures for your collections. We hope the rest of South American countries will get these figures soon.

Thanks to TFCN Group on Facebook, we have our first look a the front packaging and possible stock images of the upcoming Power Of The Primes Nemesis Prime in all his modes.

This nice repaint and remold of POTP Evolution Optimus Prime was revealed previously via a Russian Transformers page.  We finally have pictures not only of his robot mode, but the alt mode, accessories and the respective repaint of the inner Orion Pax. The figure includes 2 swords and 2 big cannons that can be attached to the arms, similar to the good-old Armada Optimus Prime. Talking about Armada references, his red sword may also be a reference to the one used by Armada Nemesis Prime. All weapons can connect to the trailer in alt mode.

On the remolds, we had already seen that Nemesis Prime will have a new head, and the new images reveal that Orion Pax will also have a new evil-looking head. As a nice extra bonus, this figure includes a new like-bird-partner/drone: Decepticon Giza, which transform into one of the swords. The name Giza is a reference to the Arms Micron (Minicon) Giza which was included with Takara’s Arms Micron Nemesis Prime.

It is still unknown if this figure will be a mass retail or an exclusive item. You can click on the bar to check out the mirrored images after the jump and then sound off your impressions at the 2005 Boards!

Weibo user TF-Factory has shared the original packaging art for Power Of The Primes Deluxe Wreck-Gar.

Wreck-Gar is a nice retool/repaint of Combiner Wars Deluxe Groove, which was revealed via the official Russian Transformers site some weeks ago. The packaging art features a smiling Wreck-Gar with a disc with the Primes insignias on the lower part.

It is unknown when this figure will be available, or if it would be sold as a retail or an exclusive store item.

Weibo user TF-Factory has shared an image of the back of the packaging of the upcoming Power Of The Primes Nemesis Prime.

Nemesis Prime (repaint and remold of POTP Evolution Optimus Prime) was revealed previously via a Russian Transformers page. While the images of the figure are hidden, we have a look at the bio of the character: “If Optimus Prime is the universe’s hope shining beacon, his evil clone Nemesis Prime is its doomsday black hole. He possesses the same strength and  intelligence as the Autobot Leader, but is vile and without remorse, and driven to eliminate all on his path”.

The back of the box reveals that this figure will include the Dark Matrix Of Leadership and the Decepticon Giza. This drone (?) looks like a bird, and seems to be a combination of the weapons included. You can take your guess.

under Generations / Classics, Transformers Toy Gallery Updates

We’ve got another new Power of the Primes gallery for you to enjoy, and we’re carrying on with the Dinobot love with their mighty commander – Grimlock! The big guy has a much more Generation 1 inspired look this time out, with a transformation to match. As he’s also the core of the Volcanicus combiner, Grimlock’s got a few sacrifices in his design – such as his wide dino hips and his T-Rex mode’s back being mostly dinosaur bits. We’re not terribly fond of his exposed combiner ports, either, especially since some previous offerings in Combiner Wars managed to conceal them. However, Grimlock shines in his robot mode, which has an excellent and buff silhouette.

Grimlock is not without his flaws – however, he is a fun toy and a good realisation of the Generation 1 design in a modern toyline. It’s also a pity that Hasbro couldn’t give Grimlock a sword, since while the Volcanicus feet make for good gauntlets and can flip round to add some other weapon options via their 5mm sockets on the rear, they aren’t the same as Grimlock’s trademark weapon. Overall, he’s by no means a bad toy, though he’s equally not up to some of the standards Hasbro themselves have set with the likes of Nitro or Hun-Gurrr in recent times.

Thanks to user “Bugg3rnaut” over at TFNZ, we have a confirmed sighting of the next wave of Deluxes from the Power of The Primes toyline. This wave will add Blot, Sinnertwin and Cutthroat of the Terrorcons to your Decepticon forces. Combine the three with Wave 2’s Hun-Gurr and Ripper-Snapper and you’ll be able to form the almighty ABOMINUS. These figures were found at a Toyworld in Sylvia Park. With any luck, these should be hitting the US brick and mortar and online retailers within the next month or so.
