For those that missed out on the Transformers X Top Gun Maverick collaboration figure, good news. Walmart will be exclusively re-releasing the figure for pre-order on July 21st, 2022. This is the first day of SDCC 2022, which is based in San Diego where a lot of the original and assuming new movie takes place. No word yet on price or ship dates, stay tuned for more information as it pops!

Transformers: Collaborative: Top Gun Mash-Up, Maverick Robot

(Ages 8 and Up/ Approx. Retail Price: $44.99/ Available: October 2022)

Worlds collide in this TRANSFORMERS-Top Gun mash-up pack! The iconic Grumman F-14 Tomcat jet from the original Top Gun film is a TRANSFORMERS robot, called MAVERICK (not to be confused with that other guy)! Who makes a better wingman than a TRANSFORMERS robot? MAVERICK stands at 7 inches in robot mode and can convert from robot to classic Grumman F-14 Tomcat jet mode in 25 steps. He includes a screen-inspired miniature motorcycle accessory. This bot is always ready to go vertical in jet mode. This Maverick robot figure also features folding jet wings, movie-inspired details, a helmet design inspired by the 2022 Top Gun: Maverick film, and 4 missile accessories that can be mounted on the figure’s arms in robot mode, and under wings in jet mode.

TRANSFORMERS robots have always been MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE, but now, through the TRANSFORMERS Collaborative, fans can experience these larger than life characters as they team-up, mash-up, and meet up with other characters, teams, and people who share this same special quality. Available for pre-order July 21 exclusively at Walmart.com (link not active yet).

under Generations / Classics, Transformers Toy Gallery Updates

Transformers Legacy officially hit US shelves earlier this month, and fans are starting to get their hands on them out in the wild.  Wave 1 continued the War For Cybertron DNA and expanded it’s reach into the wider universe and eras of Transformers.  G1 gets entries for Blaster (repack from Kingdom), Kickback, Skids, and Dragstrip.  The Prime Universe gets Generations style remixes of Bulkhead and Arcee.  Generation 2 has Laser Optimus Prime, complete with Trailer.  And to cap it off, the Core class gets Skywarp, Hot Rod, and Iguanus, which is a remix of the Pretender shell into a fully functioning bot.

Wave 1 has been seen multiple times, from launch to leaks to international releases to straight up USA in-hand shares – so we didn’t go too deep into a review or photography here.  This is just a way for me to tinker around with the newest wave, and give us all a way to celebrate Wave 1 being available in full over on the forums.   Read on to check out some quick photography for these guys, and then share your thoughts and/or pics over on the 2005 Boards!

And don’t forget – Wave 2 and Cybertron Metroplex went up for order recently too!  We’d like to thank Hasbro for sending some of these through to check out.
