Thanks to 2005 Boards member Automorpher for giving us the heads up of our first world sighting of the new Transformers R.E.D Wave in Singapore.
This wave consists of Beast Wars Optimus Primal and G1 Reformatting Megatron action figures. They were spotted at Takashiyama. Both figures are Walmart and Hasbro Pulse exclusives for the US market, but they are due to be released by December this year.
Check the images after the break and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!
Courtesy of Instagram user @Bigkidscollectible we can share for you our first in-hand images of the new Transformers R.E.D. Reformatting Megatron.
This figure is part of the latest wave of the R.E.D Transformers line of non-transforming action figures together with Optimus Primal. This figure is a special clear purple redeco of R.E.D G1 Megatron featuring details and painting inspired by Megatron’s reformatting scene as seen in the classic Transformers movie from 1986. The figure has the same accessories as the original release.
Check out the gallery and let us know what you think on the boards!
Coming to us from PrimeVsPrime, we now have a gallery of in-hand images for the Transformers R.E.D. Optimus Primal figure!
Shown here is the figure in-box (along with Reformatting Megatron), a variety of poses you can put him in, his accessories, and also some comparison shots with other R.E.D. figures and Kingdom Optimus Primal. It’s also shown that you can remove his chest piece to reveal some sculpted detail underneath.

Thanks to our very own Jtprime17 we can share for you information about two new upcoming R.E.D Transformers figures: Transformers Prime Dark Energon Megatron And G1 Cliffjumper.
We have two more entries for the R.E.D (Robot Enhaced Design) non-transformable action figures line. Read for the respective EAN codes of each figure:
While we still have no images of the toys (the featured image on this news post has been used just as a reference), we can bet that R.E.D Dark Energon Megatron should be based on the BBTS exclusive Dark Energon Megatron toy from 2012.

Coming to us from IGN, we have the reveals for R.E.D. Optimus Primal and Reformatting Megatron. They are both a part of the Walmart Collector Con and will be available both there and Hasbro Pulse on July 23 at 10 AM ET/7 AM PT for $22.99.
Both figures come in at 6-inches tall and are non-converting, as is the case with the R.E.D. line. By going R.E.D., Hasbro opted to “bring collectors the most screen-accurate versions of their favorite characters” for Primal and Megatron.
Optimus Primal has 30 points of articulation and detailed paint, coming in at 74 deco ops. While not convertible, Primal does have a pair of blasters tucked away under his forearms, which is nice.
Megatron has 23 points of articulation and is modeled and decoed after the scene in the 1986 Transformers Movie “midway through his rebirth into the immensely powerful and menacing Galvatron.” Megatron comes with Fusion cannon and includes 4 changeable hands holding Energon accessories.
Check them both out and let us know what you think after the break!
Via Instagram user @cal_tony_ok and 2005 Board member Astrotrain52 we can report that the new Transformers R.E.D Wave 3 Bumblebee & Coronation Starscream has been spotted at US retail.
These wave consists of G1 Bumblebee and Coronation Starscream which were found at Walmart Visalia in California and Burke Walmart in Virginia.
Happy hunting!
June second week is over and we have another slow week of Transformers sightings. Kingdom T-Wrecks hit shelves in New Zealand and Siege Soundblaster (Mercenary insignia variant), G1 Optimus Prime reissue, and Kingdom Wave 3 Deluxe toys were found in Singapore.
Happy hunting, one and all!
Thanks to friend site Cybertron.ca we can report that the new Transformers R.E.D (Robot Enhanced Design) Wave 3 is out in Canada.
These wave consists of G1 Bumblebee and Coronation Starscream which were found at a Walmart in Alberta by Cybertron.ca member Team Jetfire.
Happy hunting!
Thanks to 2005 Board member Jtprime17 we have the official product descriptions of the upcoming Transformers R.E.D Optimus Primal and Reformatting Megatron.
We have another mix of G1 with Beast Wars characters for the non-transforming R.E.D action figure line. While we still have no images, the official product descriptions gives us some interesting data about these new figures.
R.E.D Optimus Primal will feature over 30 points of articulation. Includes 2 flip-down shoulder-mounted blasters and 2 Cyber Blades (can combine) and hidden forearm blasters.
Reformatting Megatron (we may bet it’s a R.E.D G1 Megatron redeco) depicts Megatron midway through his rebirth into the immensely powerful and menacing Galvatron as seen in the classic G1 Transformers movie. Includes his iconic Fusion Cannon, 4 alternate hands including one that holds an Energon cube, and an Energon mace accessory.

Via PrimevsPrime on Youtube we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers R.E.D Wave 3 G1 Bumblebee.
Bumblebee is part of the new Transformers R.E.D Wave 3 non-transformable action figures line together with Coronation Starscream (which you can find in-hand images here). Bumblebee is another good representation of the Autobot scout. The figure features a wide range of poseability and includes extra accessories like a gun, a pair of extra hands, 2 blast effect and a big Energon cube. While based in his G1 design, Bumblebee features several extra molding and detail over his body making him a bit different from other G1 Transformers R.E.D figures. For those wondering about scale, we can see that Bumblebee is as tall as other R.E.D characters like Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave. No respect for the scale here.
