Courtesy of Loopaza Mega Store we have our usual doses of Figure King Magazine Scans. Issue #267 features some new images of Super Megatron, Netflix’s War For Cybertron, Earthrise, Studio Series, Cyberverse & Masterpiece Arcee
This month we have only 4 pages of Transformers content:
- Generations Selects Super Megatron – Two pages dedicated to the latest Takara Tomy Mall exclusive item. We can see Super Megatron and his alternate modes as Ultra Megatron and Ultra Megatron Omega revealing the changing-face gimmick and the way how the chest switch works. We also have shots of all the alt mode configurations.
- Netflix’s War For Cybertron – Takara Tomy will also release the new Siege redecos for the Japanese market starting with WFC-01 Decepticon Mirage and WFC-02 Hound. They are expected for release in September 26 this year.
- Transformers Earthrise – We have some extra shots of he upcoming Earthrise releases for the Japanese market: ER-08 Doubledeaer (Wave 6) and the next Takara Tomy Mall exclusives ER EX-09 Ground Hog & Roller Force and ER EX-10 Snapdragon. All of them are scheduled for September this year.
- Transformers Studio Series Releases For May 2020 – This time we only have images Wave 14 SS-50 DOTM Roadbuster and SS-51 Constructicon Scrapper (Takara Tomy releases have different numeration compared to the Hasbro ones).
- Transformers Cyberverse Action Masters–While the name of this line may remind you of the non-transformable G1 Action Masters toys, it’s just the name chosen by Takara Tomy in order to release the Cyberverse Deluxe Build-A-Figure line in Japan. Wave 1 consists of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Shockwave. They will be released as Takara Tomy Mall exclusives by August 2020.
- Masterpiece MP-51 Arcee. – New promotional image in both modes. We have a clear look at the back pack in robot mode.

September.

I'm kinda glad I skipped both Seige and ER Megs asSuper Megatron is Boss. When's hedue out?

I dunno. There's still a strong contingent of users here for whom a single (possibly hyphenated) word sends them into a frothing tizzy: "butt-flap".

Ohh it wasn't Super Megatron's fault he had a big backpack!

You’re not understanding, they were sourced from hasbro Asia, not from Walmart, they were imports and thus not “scalped”. You really should at least attempt to understand this stuff before accusing reputable stores of shady practices

They were in stock. They shipped some. They scalped.

This.

I wonder if a 3rd party company can fix Arcee for the eventually KO? I am actually considering skipping Arcee and that's a shame. That chest region is just so bad. So very very bad.

The proportions, face and legs are light years ahead of any of 3p ones, but that chest looks really bad, especially from that angle.

Good news….Megatron pre-orders are still up at the assorted sites up above.
Keep that willpower going for a little bit longer.

Well I successfully resisted Super Megs through the 28th. And this thread reminded me that Earthrise and Cyberverse are both getting better Arcees than this.
Fenrys
thechosenprimes prices are imports, not local stock, so not scalping

This might be the first time in history where an ass shot has made something look less appealing

Theres always going to be one or two a°°holes scalping. But other people are finding them. I found them on my first shot in the walmart closest to my home. Granted I live in a big city and have 5 walmarts under 5 miles away from me. I cant speak on those who live in rural areas. Just remember, the early bird gets the worm. That goes for scalpers too. Im sure ive ruined a scalpers day more than once by monitoring the sightings boards and hitting up 24 hour walmarts at 1 am and having first dibs on pallets just brought out as the ladies stock the shelves. Granted, you cant do that currently, but you can hunt. Wear your mask and social distance. Thats all I can say.

I'm basing my "scalper" info from two places: ebay prices for Hotlink, which are awful, and The Chosen Prime's price for both Voyagers, which considering they had been in stock tells me they bought up the stock from their local Walmarts and scalped them for more than twice the price.

What a shame. There's only one detail I don't like about Arcee and it's keeping me from buying her. I really wonder why they did not revise that or if they don't see it.
But Super Megatron looks awesome and I'm glad I pre-ordered him. He's gonna replace my United Megatron as adversary for Cloud Optimus. I think he fits well with the other updated looks of the Classics Transformers. So I can keep Animation Style Optimus and Megatron separate in a Detolf.

But theres two kinds of "heavy retools". There are those that follow the same transformation and engineering. And then there are those that completely redesign the engineering like they did with the Seacons.
Rated X
I think its the exact oppisite. Scalpers are pu**y by nature so theyre staying inside their basement. I went to walmart on my first shot and found everyone except Magnus. I bought Megs, Hotlink, Scrapface, and Mirage and left the other 3 deluxes behind.

Snapdragon & DoubleDealer!

I seriously hate this whole "oh thats how her original art looks" angle people keep shoving in our faces. FLORAL DEARY SUCKS OK? Nobody wants the concept art everyone wants what the animators made SENSIBLE. They took the weird drawings and went "ugh gotta fix the drunk coked out art again"
