Transformers news for Transformers Generations and Transformers Classics toys.
Via friend site Cybertron.ca we can report that the new Transformers Generations Selects G2 Sandstorm is out in Canada.
This is a special redeco of the Earthrise Ramjet mold inspired by an unreleased G2 seeker. It was found by Cybertron.ca member Tonestar at an EB Games store in Ontario.
Happy hunting!
Via Rogue Toys Website we can share for you what seems to be our possible first look at the War For Cybertron Deep Cover figure.
This seems to be a black and blue redeco of the War For Cybertron Siege mold, inpired by the E-Hobby exclusive Deep Cover figure (G1 Sideswipe redeco) from 2003. The image lets us see the figure in robot mode in what seems to be a Generations Selects style box. A nice surprise to see a homage to this character, and we hope to get an official confirmation soon.

A nice surprise for those frustrated by the onslaught of limited retailer exclusives – the Target exclusive Earthrise Skywarp and Thundercracker 2 pack is now available at retailers other than Target! And not a pre-order, in stock right now.
Site sponsor Entertainment Earth has them ready to go. We are not sure if other retailers will have access to it or not, but for now it’s at least one other avenue for collectors to grab it aside from Target. Hopefully some of the other exclusives that came and went quickly last year, for Transformers and other brands, make their way out to mass retail too (cough Cobra Island cough). We’ll update here if additional retailers get some listings up.
Update – additional retailers have these guys up now too:
–> BBTS, The Chosen Prime, Ages Three and Up, Dorkside Toys
Takara Tomy Mall website have just updated several new exclusives pre-orders, all of them expected for release by June 2021. All listings have a brief Order period from January 14 to February 5. As usual, we can share for you some new stock images plus some extra information about these items.
While exclusives to Takara Tomy Mall, we are sure some online retailers will offer these items giving you a chance to grab some figures you weren’t able to find a pre-order before. Click on the bar to see the mirrored gallery and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Board!
Via Kreemzek Reviews on Youtube we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Kingdom Leader Class Ultra Magnus.
Ultra Magnus will be released as part of Kingdom Wave 2 Leader class. This figure is a retool of the Siege Ultra Magnus mold with extensive changes in the armor and inner robot to make him closer to his G1 design in robot and alt mode. Being a remold, it retains most of the things you like or not about the original Siege Ultra Magnus. We also have comparison shots next to Netflix Optimus Prime (Earthrise redeco) and Studio Series 86 Hot Rod and Kup.

Thanks to 2005 Board members Galaxius84 and 03Mach1 for sharing in our boards photographic proof of their sighting of the Walmart Exclusive Wave 1 Retro Headmasters.
The first wave of these reissues of the Titans Return molds with a new deco and the retooled heads used in the Takara Tomy Legends versions include Chromedome, Brainstorm, Hardhead and Mindwipe. They were spotted at Walmart stores at Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati in Ohio and Florida. These toys were officially revealed months ago even with listings but pre-orders never went live. We are glad these toys finally showed up at Walmart stores, considering they had been available in Hong Kong and other countries in Asia previously.
Happy hunting!
Via Nin Nin Games website we can share for you some additional stock photos of Transformers Kingdom Wave 2 Deluxe Airazor and Voyager Dinobot.
