U.K. retailer InDemand Toys has posted a slew of product images for upcoming toys, and from multiple lines, to boot! Seibertronian Shiningstar7896 alerted us to the Facebook post containing in-package images of Studio Series 70 B-127, Studio Series 71 Dino, R.E.D Arcee and Cheetor, the "Retro" Headmaster reissues, and the Ghostbusters Afterlife version of Ectotron. Feast your eyes on these new images below!
















There are a couple of interesting things to note about these releases. First and foremost, Ectotron comes packaged in blister packaging, rather than the retro style box that his first release came in. Those retro style boxes look great on the Headmaster "reissues", and though the Headmaster partners retain their Titans Return name spellings, Weirdwolf actually gets his original name back, having been called "Wolfwire" in the previous release of the mold. The R.E.D. releases of Prime Arcee and Cheetor showcase their Action-Master (aka non-transforming) style figures, though curiously, Cheetor's head appears to be cast in a bronze colored plastic, rather than the yellow and gold of his package art. And last, but not least, B-127 is confirmed to be the full official name of of the figure.

So what do you think of these new photos? Do you plan to pick up any of these figures? Please feel free to discuss these below!

He found Movie Masterpiece MPM-9 Megatron at a bargain price of only $39.99, down from his original retail price of $159.99, a savings of 75%! This was found at a Ross store in Novato,California.

Hasbro Pulse may be Hasbro's big online store these days, but Hasbro Toy Shop is still around, in eBay form. And right now you can save 25% on your order using code PARTYFOR25 which should show up in your cart at checkout. The coupon is good until 9/7 and you can save up to $100, just make sure you get everything you want the first time, it's one time use only! And before you think there couldn't possibly be anything worth buying on a store that isn't intended for collectors you may be surprised. They still have a lot of leftover Siege stock, especially Micromasters and Battle Masters, and if you're building a Cyberverse collection then this could give you a boost as there's a lot here including new figures like Trooper class Wildwheel and Meteorfire as well as Deluxe Arcee. Not only is the coupon good across all of HTS, but there are other stores that are using the same code as seen on the coupon page which is how most people are likely to hit that $100 limit.



Big thanks to Seibertronian EmoTim on the Energon Pub Forums for letting us know about this deal! If you managed to pick up anything good let us know in the forums.

If you thought Takara Tomy Mall suddenly offering the Walgreens exclusive Siege Ratchet from 2019 was a surprise then prepare for a double take! Just now Takara Tomy Mall has begun taking pre-orders on the previously Amazon exclusive Siege SG-EX Phantomstrike Squadron featuring Voyager Skywarp and Battle Masters Fracas, Shrute and Terror-Daxtyl. They're offering the set for ¥7,150 (around $67USD) with release coming in January 2021 and do appear to be identical to the Hasbro release. While fans can't order this highly prized set directly outside of Japan there's a chance that it'll show up at other sites like TFSource and BBTS with a markup that likely wont exceed those found on eBay.



















Excited to see a possible second opportunity to get this set appear or are you still sour that it sold out so easily the first time around (or was never available in your area in the first place)? Let us know in the Energon Pub forums!

If you've been holding off on picking up the latest Deluxe offerings from Earthrise, Studio Series or even Siege hoping to find a good price then Target may have the deal you've been waiting for! All week Target will be selling any Generations Deluxes figures for $16.99 in stores and online (though online stock is a bit limited, but it can be used on pre-orders). Unfortunately, this deal does not work with Cyberverse Deluxe.



Not enough savings? Then head over to Circle in the Target app where you'll find two great offers. One is for $10 off an in-store purchase total of $50 or more and the other is for $10 off a pickup or drive up purchase total of $40 or more. I can confirm this sale will stack with the $50 Circle savings.





Additionally, thanks to Seibertronian Slashercon for pointing out that Amazon is matching this sale on some figures as we've seen them do on occasion in the past.

Ironworks
Cliffjumper
Hoist
Wheeljack (currently out of stock)

Thanks to several eagle-eyed Seibertronians, we have news from the official Transformers Facebook page that Leadfoot, the final Wrecker from the Dark of The Moon movie will be coming to the Studio Series line! He's listed as Studio Series 68, and will be a Target exclusive- as he's got a Target sponsor logo on his movie self, in order to be screen accurate, he'd have to be. Feast your eyes on three final SS Wrecker below!









As you probably noticed in one picture, he also comes with Steeljaw (not to be confused with the AOE Steeljaws).) Steeljaw was a concept 'bot for the movie, who would have transformed from Leadfoot's engine into a robotic dog, with the preliminary name of Warpath (Leadfoot had the preliminary name of Flash). Both can be seen in concept art below by Josh Nizzi.





Steeljaw did make it to plastic form and was included with the Human Alliance Leadfoot figure, though.



And one of the best parts of this reveal is that Leadfoot will be available for preorder beginning tomorrow, July 21st, at 9am EST, on Target's website, according to the Facebook post, which can be seen by clicking on any of the SS images above.

Are you excited for this reveal, now that you'll finally have all your SS Wreckers in armored up form, and the same size class? Let us know what you think below!

Thanks to Seibertronians nickster563, mattysan, and AcademyofDrX, we've been made aware that two highly anticipated Earthrise 2-packs have had listings put up on Target's website. Both the Skywarp and Thundercracker Voyager set, as well as the Decepticon Clone set of Pounce and Wingspan have been listed, though as of publication time for this article, neither has been in stock or been put up for preorder.


















There's no release date listed for either one, but they likely should be available sometime this summer. You can click on either set of pictures to be taken to the product page, and you can also sign up for in-stock alerts.

Transformers Masterpiece MP-39+ Spinout Bio and Packaging Art Work Published

Thanks to Takara Tomy Mall, we have some additional information and images for the upcoming Transformers Masterpiece MP-39+ Spinout figure.

Up first, we get a sample shot of the packaging artwork for Spinout, which features him running headlong into battle screaming his mechanical lungs out, while his car mode races out in front of him through the desert.

Second, we get a good bio for Spinout, which gives us a lot of detail about the character himself, and his connections to the Diaclone universe. It's quite an interesting read too. Now mind you, this was printed in Japanese and translated via Google, so some things might appear a bit odd, but you can follow the link above to read the original and translate it appropriately.

Check out the packaging artwork and the bio below, and let us know what you think of this 3rd use of the MP-39 Sunstreaker mold below!

● Role… Assault Rescuer
● Inscription on the right side… “Not suitable for prolonging history with trivial details”
● Profile
spinout originally used to be a battle machine of another world's earth, but an ancient computer of Cybertron It is an extraordinary existence that was given a life by and became a super robot life form. Although he is a straight-hearted passionate zeal, he shows strong loyalty to the earthlings and is obedient. It clearly remembers the previous life, which was a battle machine, and has internal anxiety about fighting without a pilot.

The appearance of the Lamborghini Countach LP500S, which is a vehicle form of a spinout, is the element that most strongly shows the mystery and paradox of his origin.
The outline is described below.

[Private record of Delta Magnus]:
Our rush operation to secure the outer space facility which preserved the huge memory data of the ancient cybertron was also the worst development. The facility was severely damaged by the fierce battle between Destron and Quintessa, and much valuable information was lost. Fortunately, he was able to recover Cordon's original memory, but he does not seem to install it. And what we got ... was something that was completely different from what we had expected, shaking the history of Sabertron stars. A robot discovered in the deep depths of Dyadem was stored in the chamber at rest for nearly 10 million years. In other words, from that past, an autobot that transforms into a vehicle on Earth has existed in this world!
What is that? According to the records of the Anterior Zeta of Dyadem, spinouts were originally another dimension of the Earth's fighting machine, a castaway thrown into our past world by some spatiotemporal change. -That is the name of the power that the spinout belonged to. Zetas, who analyzed their spacecraft, seemed fascinated by the story of the battle between Diaklon and his enemy, Walder. Or was it already crazy or hijacked ... Anyway, the Zetas took secret measures in hopes of letting us take over Diaklon's mission. Upon sensing the presence of Walder, he created a genetic command that would take the highest priority for automatic extermination behavior and propagated through the worldwide repair device network. It's hard to believe that there was such an intervention in our race, but there are already examples. That is the , in which the streak that encountered the Walder Corps probe insector mutated. You have to take measures!
If Walder were an evil threat to the left, he would fight anyway. But it should be done by our own will and determination!
