Hasbro has applied for a non-transforming Metroplex trademark at the United States Patent & Trademark Office.

This new application is different from the existing application (2017 onward) due to the description highlighting the fact that the toy does not transform.

Usual Transformers trademarks (including the existing one for Metroplex) carry the following description: “Toy action figures, toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms”.

However, this non-transforming Metroplex is described as follows:

“Toy action figures and accessories therefor; Toy robots; Toy vehicles and accessories therefor”

There is no official info as to what this trademark is for, but it is very likely that we may see a R.E.D. Metroplex down the line if this trademark is converted (pun intended) to an actual toy.

Good news for Canadian fans! The new Transformers R.E.D (Robot Enhanced Design) Wave 1 has just been found at retail in Canada, thanks to a report via friend site Cybertron.ca.

The first wave of new G1-inspired action figures: Optimus Prime, Megatron and Soundwave were found at a Walmart in Alberta by Cybertron.ca member Team Jetfire.

We hope this means that a US release isn’t far behind. Happy hunting!

Via friend site and sponsor Dorkside Toys we can share for you new packaging and stock images of the upcoming Transformers R.E.D. Optimus Prime, Megatron & Soundwave.

This non-transforming 20 dollar action figure line, similar to Marvel Legends or Black Series, will be released as a Walmart exclusive in the US market. The new images gives us a closer look at the figures and all the extra accessories included as well as the front and back of the packaging. A very nice presentation featuring a cool art of each character.

Interested in these new line of action figures? Don’t forget that this collection will not only bring us G1 characters but also figures from other Transformers universes too. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Courtesy of 2005 Boards member LegoTFGuy we have information of some new Transformers R.E.D. Figures found in Walmart system.

The non-transforming 20 dollar action figure line, similar to Marvel Legends or Black Series, is growing even more with codes for Optimus Prime Redeco, Knockout and Starscream figures.

Update: Direct Walmart listings thanks to Jtprime17. $19.87 each one, not in stock yet.

What characters could they be considering this is a multiverse collection? Your guess is as good as ours, but considering that we have a Transformers Prime Arcee on the way… Do we have a Transformers Prime Knockout in the horizon? Time will tell.

Earlier in the year we caught wind of a new line called Transformers R.E.D. at Wal-Mart.  Today, the non-transforming 20 dollar action figure line, similar to Marvel Legends or Black Series,  was revealed with pics of Optimus Prime and Megatron.  And now, super sleuths have dug up more Transformers R.E.D. items at Wal-Mart in their systems.  In addition to Optimus Prime, Megatron, and the originally listed Soundwave – we also have entries for Transformers Prime Arcee, Bumblebee, an un-named entry, and Cheetor.  All are listed at 19.87 and we assume are exclusive to Wal-Mart for now.

Thanks to LegoTFGuy on the 2005 Boards for the heads up!

Via IGN.com we can share for you our first look at the new Transformers R.E.D. 6-Inch action figure series G1 Optimus Prime & Megatron.

This is a new line of non-transformable but detailed action figures. R.E.D, for “Robot Enhanced Design”, Series figures come with interchangeable parts and accessories.

Similar to Hasbro’s other premium figure lines, the Transformers R.E.D. series figures come with plenty of accessories.

Megatron includes “a Fusion Cannon, four alternate hands including one that holds an Energon cube,” as well as an interchangeable hand holding an “Energon Mace accessory.”

Optimus comes with “four alternate hands, Ion Blaster, Energon Axe,” and opening his chest reveals the “iconic Matrix of Leadership.”

Pre-orders for the Transformers R.E.D. series Megatron and Optimus Prime go live on June 26 at 1 pm ET at Walmart.com in the US. Both list for $19.99 and come out September 1.

This reveal finally solves the mystery of our previously reported Walmart Listings for “Generations G1 Red” figures while back in April. According to those listings, we may expect a Soundwave on this new line.

Thanks to the great detective work of our very own Jtprime17 we can share for you some new mysterious Walmart listings for “Generations G1 Red” figures.

These listings can only be viewed via the mobile app at the moment, and there’s still not much information about what they really are, so take this with a grain of salt until we get an official confirmation. You can read on for the EAN code of each listing:

  • Tra Gen G1 Red Soundwave
    EAN: 5010993729012
  • Tra Gen G1 Red Megatron
    EAN: 5010993729029

Now it’s time to place your bets. What does “red” refer to? A color? Redeco? maybe another reissue? Is it possible for a G1 Megatron gun to come back to shelves in the US? Or just Generations molds with G1 toy deco? Time will tell for sure. Now click on the discussion link below and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
