Something screwy is going on and there may have been a mistake. Months ago, someone found a Kingdom Beast Wars Megatron toy with a different headsculpt from all the other ones. This one had teeth showing, similar to the original toy's headsculpt. We thought maybe we would see this headsculpt used for T-Wrecks. Well, T-Wrecks has been found now and the headsculpt used is not that one, it's just the same closed mouth one as the Megatron figure. And the mouth is painted silver, making it looks like he has silver lipstick. However, the back of the box shows the other headsculpt, showing his teeth, painted silver.
All signs show that there was a snafu somewhere and the batch of T-Wrecks toys found so far don't have the head originally planned for this actual toy. This toy has yet to be officially revealed by Hasbro and we'll see which headsculpt we get once it lands in Target.

Taken completely with a grain of salt however...One of the early Video Youtube reviewers who got T-Wrecks (consider the source) stated there may have been QC issues with the angry "toothed" face causing a last minute change. Which is even more puzzling considering, as you showed above, some people found a Megatron with that different head sculpt.
What's even more sad is I am almost positive, the 2nd time I saw BW Megatron at Target, it was one of those rare variants. Of course I had no idea at the time, so I didn't get it

Fellow Sebertronian aronjlove found Transformers Kingdom Rhinox at a Target in Arizona. This is the only new voyager in the line's third wave. Cases come with 3 toys per box where two are Rinox and the other is Cyclonus. This is the first sign of Wave 3 we have seen in the US.
If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

It would be cool, but hard to imagine happening, but it would be cool if dinomus was the pre-tool of a re-tooled thrustor from dinobot, it seems like the dinobot figure could be the next seeker, based on how many times the original mold was used and re-used

Meanwhile, my Target just restocked Wave 1 Voyagers.... AGAIN...
and no sign of any Wave 2 has ever come in, except Core Class.

Well speaking of Target restocks, checked my local one Sunday evening and they FINALLY had Beast mode Megs! (And Kingdom UM, but I'm v happy with the Siege one) Can not begin to describe to y'all how long have been hunting for Megs 
And the figure hasn't disappointed me yet, the Dino mode is absolute dynamite, even with the panel lines, the sleekness and cohesiveness of it is amazing. Only gripe is I wish the 5mm port in the trex head/hand could be pivoted away from the roof of the mouth, but that's a very targeted nitpick

His guns are a little thin, and he does have a funky backpack, that has two ports for weapon storage on each side, but goodness, is he fun to pose. I tried transforming him and got stuck on the legs, not entirely understanding how the foot folds into the rhino's thigh. But I'll figure it out. These two pics were taken because someone on Twitter asked how he scales with Primal. You can see the port in the last pic.

Yup. Even T-30 Generations Jetfire is more complex than Siege Commander Jetfire. Plus I think people tend to forget that Siege Jetfire come with the equivalent of a deluxe toy of armor pieces, guns, and blast effects.

I'd say that is pushing it. The main reason I sold off my T30 Jetfire (and CW Seekers) is because that mold is pretty boring to transform. Not that Siege Jetfire blows T30 away, but it is definitely more complex. Simply look at the arms and legs.
For T30 the only real transformation to any of the limbs it tucking the feet inside the back of the leg before you tuck all 4 limbs under the jet without doing much else to them. Siege makes you collapse the legs and sort of collapse the arms each requiring many more parts than for T30. Torso portion is about equal between the two but Siege has the various bonus features like the opening cockpit that is TR compatible and the 5mm pegs on the underside that you can retract.
You can say T30 gives you more for your money, for sure especially comparing leader prices back then to commander prices now, but no way is T30 more complex.

I feel like they screwed up with Megatron and T-Wrecks. Megatron should have the teeth grinning face. I'm indifferent on T-Wrecks. It bothers me more knowing that the correct face for Megatron exists and yet was planned to be used on T-Wrecks. Doing the silver teeth paint app on the wrong head that they were going to use just adds salt to the wound. Kind of a bummer. Hopefully a future recolor of Kingdom Megatron will have the proper head variant with the correct silver teeth. While I'd like to get a correct version of T-Wrecks (either with the mouth closed and no paint or the grinning teeth with paint), I'm indifferent because the character has little to no fictional background outside of a few BotCon comics that I'm sure the majority aren't familiar with.

This is gonna sound crazy, but I'd been looking at so many Beast Wars toy heads trying to figure out who it is, and none of them were clear enough match for it.

This is really neat, the card could've gone the easy route and just had Scorponok, Waspinator and possibly Terrorsaur (if we are indeed getting one) beneath Blackarachnia, but I love how the artist went the extra mile with the fanservice and put in a load of obscure Predacons and even an Aligned Continuity Predacon!

Not gonna lie, took me a bit to figure out the back legs in beast mode as the clearance for the panels is pretty tight, but I finally got it figured out and boy do I love me some Rhinox!
His back beast legs don't have much range of motion as they are little stubby things on a ball joint. Other than that I really dig him

*Fair* is not a term I use often when it comes to toy collecting, because that's just simply not how the world works anymore. However every once in a while we get a surprise. Congrats aronjlove for being one of the first to get Kingdom Rhinox and sharing your pics. Also if anyone at Hasbro sees this or cares (probably not). I for one appreciate that on this occasion, for whatever reason, security was tight enough around this particular toy to avoid being stolen by individuals to be picked up by early reviewers. Also I'm linking to a Youtube reviewer from Las Vegas (not too far from where he was first found in some stores in Arizona). While he may have 5 1/2 thousand subs, it appears his videos only get on average a couple hundred views. Some even more niche subjects not even that. But low and behold, when an average joe can be the 1st in the world to present something, they can get thousands of views in the first day! THIS is why fairness matters IMHO. I don't expect like magic for early reviewers to all of a sudden stop happening. But it is nice for once for the little guy to get a win.
As for me, I'm off to see if my Target upon doors opening today have that Rhinox. (I was told a new shipment of voyagers will be in today, but of course it could be wave 1, 2 or 3).
*update*
Unfortunately it was more wave 1...
. Oh well...at least I got to see Cyclonus for the first time in a while, I'm sure it won't be there long. Also met 2 of the local scalpers. The first, and older guy in his 70's waits there EVERY SINGLE MORNING, but he goes after Hotwheels, so yeah I have no beef with him. The other guy though...was after the exact same thing I was. I can only hope that if Rhinox had been there, he would have been civil enough to let me have one, instead of trying to snatch up both. Yeah scalpers are a very real problem.

What's up with Galvatron's shoulders?

Anyone else getting flashbacks to the alleged shoulder fix for Punch / Counterpunch?

So I took a chance and pre-ordered Kingdom Galvatron today from BBTS, now that I've done that I'm sure all the early release figures are gone.

The top of the shoulders will visually sit below his black shoulder pylon things
They should sit just above them and it fixes his silhouette
Apparently nothing needs to be "fixed" if you don't mind the pins facing outwards

Yeah, the pins don't really bother me so I have no intention of fixing them or hoping for a running change unless there's a really easy solution. I thought there was talk about having to remove the pins to swap them, but it seems like you could just unscrew the torso and biceps and just swap them.

I don't think the biceps unscrew, the pics of the fix show that you have to bend the shoulder halves apart and pry them away from the shoulder joint

We thank fellow Seibertronians O Supreme and Aronjlove for more Kingdom Rhinox content. Aronjlove has provided us some in hand images which you can see below. You will also find a video review for Rhinox. This is a rare occasion where a toy was only reviewed once it was found in stores by a fan and his video is below.
We also have a review for a toy not yet found in stores, deluxe Wingfinger. The review is from PrimevsPrime and we get a great look at the combiner Hasbro fashionned from the 3 fossilizers at the Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest 2021.

Seibertronian aronjlove has shared some images with us of a new Golden Disk card variant for Blackarachnia!
The translated text reveals that in this outcome, she becomes the leader of the Predacons. But what had people really talking when aronjlove posted this on Twitter was the obscure Beast Wars characters that were featured on the card art... along with art of an unexpected TF: Prime Predaking toy redeco!?
Further, our own Dominus Prime has pointed us to a post on the TFW2005 boards showing a new variant of a Dinobot card from a Wave 3 figure.
Whether this is just a "this could happen" variant, or an actual show spoiler for the upcoming Kingdom cartoon, this card sure shows an interesting upgrade(?) to Dinobot. In case this is a spoiler, his translated card text reads "Becomes a Herald of Unicron"
Have you found any new variant cards in the (slowly trickling out) Wave 3 Kingdom figures you've managed to find? Let us know!

Initially I thought, reading the spoiler for Dinomus: that's a bit naff. Then I remembered there is precedent (within print media, anyway):
Personally I'd have preferred a modern redesign of this Thrustor figure, than the one on the card.

Didn't realize Wingfinger was going to end up being so big! Man! Looks like such a great toy.

Hopefully some comparison shots with the combined mode come out soon
And someone does the combined mode with tricranius, curious if that would look better or too out of place

In reference to the Fossilizer Combiner
That is my plan. Combine Wingfinger with Tricranius and Transmutate for a faction aligned combiner. I'll do the same for Paleotrex, Ractonite and the inevitable Wingfinger (hopefully Predacon) repaint.
