Via the Instagram account of Super 7 owner Bryan Flinn we can report that two new Super 7 ReAction Transformers Optimus Prime & Megatron Target exclusive variants are out in the US.
These figures are ReAction Fallen Leader Optimus Prime (inspired by Optimus Prime’s death scene) and Chrome Commander Megatron (G1 toy inspired colors). Both are Target exclusive items and they are starting to show up at stores.

If you're thinking of what I think you are, those items are tiny statues. Like, an inch tall. These are at least action-figure sized, say what you will about the lack of articulation.

Didn't Dollar Tree carry something very similar to this 3 years ago, and for only a dollar?
I'm just curious what the difference is.

Just did a follow-up search online. Looks like that scheduled Prowl never came out. Bummer. Maybe next year.

Getting anxious about the future of the line. No sign of Reflector and Prowl yet.

They should sell Autobot City as a series of (Leader-size?) modules that connect together to make something like what we see in the 86 movie where a dozen or so Autobots can stand on perches and inside windows to get shot to death by Seekers. Trap Starscream in the basement by folding some panels together… Little turret launcher room where Springer can lob little rubber bombs at whichever Devastator figure you happen to own…
Licensing forces people to pay double (probably actually triple) what these dumpy things are worth? I need to loicense some rubbish too, I'll tell people it's licensed and they'll just buy it

Has there been any update to the SuperBuckets? It feels like I have been waiting for these to be released for either 2 or 3 years now.

Mine are still on preorder at BBTS for now.

My pre-order for Reflector and Prowl got canceled on me. I had a decent discount too… I emailed Super7 to see if this line was closing now…

oooohhhh! Didn't think of that. That would be dope

I'd be keen for a playset or two, but I would want the spacebridge.

aww ok – I read that too but was just curious if anyone has heard anything else. I just picked up their optimus prime (waiting for bumblebee and grimlock to arrive atm) and their whole lineup has been kind of growing on me. Initially I was not a fan of them since they only had 5 POA but there's something charming about the retro look and I never grew up with these kinds of toys! I'm wondering if they'll ever do an Ark/Nemesis playset to round them all together, but that's probably a pipe dream that won't happen based on how little reception is out there.
llamatron
Nothing really unfortunately. Reflector and Prowl were in listings from over a year ago so I hope they're coming next.

Any rumors or news of upcoming releases for 2021?
Grouch
That’s a good price if anyone has been hemhawing on these.

Gamestop is running a sale on them

Yeah that's what I thought. Oh and I was only asking for my own reasons, not calling you or anyone out for any reason lol.

In Japan, he's called Stepper. But with every US release that I'm aware of (g1 reissues, gen selects), his name was changed to Ricochet. Just found it interesting that this is the first US release that he was specifically referred to as Stepper. (someone correct me if I'm wrong…)

It's the very next wave, along with LG Devastator, Blitzwing, Dirge, & Blaster. BBTS has pre-orders up now for all 5!
Isn't that just a Japan/U.S. difference? Im semi not sure hence the question mark but your comment made me curious lol
The sculpting imo is done great. It's made to look like the toon precisely. And that's exactly what it does.
Me too, though I still need the current pre-orders. I like 'em since I missed out on the barely posable "Takara Collection" from 2004, except just a few of the US HASBRO versions.
