Greetings Seibertronians! Today we bring you a sighting from the United Kingdom, and it's a big one.

Transformers Cyberverse Ark Power Optimus Prime has been sighted in the Portrack Lane, Stockton-on-Tees, branch of Symths Toys Superstores, retailing for £39.99. The sighting was made by yours truly.

Ark Power Optimus Prime is the largest entry in the Spark Armour gimmick. Optimus Prime can convert from truck to robot and then power up with the ark turning into armour. The toy is roughly leader sized.



The toy is also available via the Symths website

Will you be hunting down this version of Cyberverse Optimus Prime? Do you want this set just for the Ark itself? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

We reported a while back that a listing for Transformers: Studio Series SS-31 Voyager Class Battle Damaged Revenge of the Fallen Megatron (Whew, what a mouthful!) had been found on the United States Target.com website. At the time, this special edition of the Revenge of the Fallen Megatron figure, featuring a resculpted head and scorch-mark paint applications, was not available to purchase or pre-order quite yet. That's changed now as Seibertron.com user bounti76 was able to order SS-31 Megatron from Target.com as of last night (Wednesday, March 27, 2019)! It's important to note that, as of the time of publishing this article, the Target.com listing for SS-31 Megatron again has his listed as "Temporarily Out of Stock" for online ordering, so you may need to keep checking back frequently. Luckily enough, if you want your Battle Damaged Megatron sooner rather than later, he is available in select Target stores now too! Check with Target.com to see if SS-31 Battle Damaged Megatron is available in one of your local stores! A lucky fan named Grimlock25 over on http://www.tfw2005.com found one about a week ago at a Target store in Largo, Florida, USA! Take a look at this photographic evidence provided by Grimlock25 below, along with some nice stock photography of this highly anticipated figure for the Studio Series line!









Will you be picking up Battle Damaged Megatron any time soon? Had you passed on the first release in favor of a redeco down the line? Are you impressed enough to double-dip on this figure if you picked up the regular SS-13 Voyager Class Megatron earlier? Tell us what you think in the comments below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!

RUMOR: Vintage G1 Transformers Optimus Prime Release Coming Soon!?

Fellow Seibertronians, we have a very tantalizing rumor to pass along! Our own Shajaki has pointed us to some pictures gleaned from the Facebook group Transformers Never Die. The pictures depict none other than the most famous of all Autobots, Optimus Prime, in all his G1 glory (minus his trailer). He's packaged in the same style of retro "Vintage G1 Transformer" box that Hasbro has used this year for the Walmart Starscream and Hot Rod G1 reissues. Not a lot information is to be found yet about this mysterious addition to the "Vintage G1" line-up. These pictures may have been taken at a Taiwan trade show. If anyone is able to translate any of the information on the post on TFND or anything in the comments, please let the Seibertron New Crew know so that we can update this story! For now, enjoy what could very well be appearing on Walmart shelves in the near future in the United States and Canada!







Take particular note of the first picture. This alleged Vintage G1 Optimus Prime release is sitting atop the soon-to-be released Transformers Siege Leader Shockwave and Leader Ultra Magnus. You can just make out "Decepticon Shockwave" on the left box and WFC-S13 on the box on the right, which is the designation for Ultra Magnus in the War for Cybertron: SIEGE line.

What do you think of the possibility of getting another reissue of G1 Optimus Prime, but without his signature trailer? Is this a hoax? A clever knock-off? A Hasbro Asia exclusive? Tell us what you think in the comments below as we delve deeper into this mystery. As always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest news on everything Transformers!

While Best Buy has sold Transformers in the past (specifically part of the '07 film with Movie Premium Voyager class Ratchet and Megatron) they're going back for a piece of the action with their newest ad since Toys R Us is no longer present in the United States' market. Best Buy delivered their catalog in time for the holidays this year featuring on the cover and a page with Transformers in it with a Megatron from the new Cyberverse series along with one of the new Bumblebee figures coming from the new movie. Also featured is Remote Control Bumblebee in his alt-mode and Starscream figure as well. Check the mirrored images below and take a look at the ASM Twitter for additional screen shots from the catalog featuring other toy lines such as Hot Wheels, Nerf, Star Wars, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Thanks to Seibertron.com podcasters xRotorstormx and megatronus, from two separate areas of the United States, we have some officially Transformers licensed Jada Toys news to share: the sighting of the Hollywood Rides Volkswagen Bumblebee RC toy!

Coming from both Michigan and Manhattan, and both found at Costco (including on the online store here) for $49.99, the toy is an RC 1:12 VW bug with monster truck wheels for all terrains. We knew of the Camaro Bumblebee and the Optimus Prime truck from previous stories, but this one is relatively out of nowhere. Check out the images below, and let us know what you think!

We have reported already of the Transformers G1 Reissue toyline appearing in United States stores - as you can see in our story here - but fellow Seibetronian Bounti76 has some additional information from a Walmart store in Utah: it seems as though some pricing changes are in effect, as the Hot Rod set is priced at $15 USD rather than the previously seen $30, and with no signs of a clearance or sale ticket or label!

Check out the image below, and make sure to let us know if other Walmart stores (or any store, for that matter) are also offering these products at a lower price than expected - and also make sure to use our Sightings Database to help out fellow fans on the lookout!

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian, Scottimus Prime, we have another confirmed sighting of the Jada Hollywood Rides Transformers Studio Series in the United States. It was spotted at Commack Target in Long Island, New York. These are non-transforming die cast scale vehicles and the ones seen here are a Bumblebee based on his The Last Knight appearance and two different Optimus Prime's. One is the same as in the previous sighting while the other is Optimus as he appeared in the 2007 movie and it's this particular toy that is being seen for the first time. This Peterbilt cab was first seen on the slide showing upcoming cars from Jada, which also includes a G1 Optimus cab that has yet to show up at retail.
