Nope, and technically it was never confirmed taht the Reveal teh Shield line would be target exclusive, we just assumed it based on the big red dot on the box.
All we know is taht these toys are exclusive to a specific retailer and it turns out that some from that subline are exclusive to target and some are exclusive to TRU.

But in that case, I brushed it off as someone having simply returned it to the wrong store.

Seems Emgo's Dragonstorm arrived missing Dragomicus' robot mode head.

The figure is a redeco and remold of the Age Of Extinction Lockdown Flip And Change figure, and is an exclusive to Wal-Mart stores in the US, as he's a part of Wal-Mart's Autobots Unite subline. Check out the provides photo of the sighting below, and report any new toys you find anywhere in the world via the sightings tab in the "Toys" menu!

Its all the same. The only way to see if its a variant is to look at the very bottom of the clear plastic roof that you see unfolded in the packaging. If its really black at the bottom that means that what is on top of that clear plastic piece is also black and thus you know you have a fully black roof all across the top of the car. I hope this pic helps, you can see that the bottom fo th back section is all black in the package:

It also reinforces the fact that while the Autobots Unite subline is a Wal-Mart exclusive in the US, it will be exclusive to ASDA in the UK.
This makes sense, as Wal-Mart is ASDA's parent company.
Check out the photographic proof below, and let us know in the forums if you've seen any new toys in stores near you.

This is also why I am glad I wait on figures. It's almost always the first ones that have issues.
Oh and Leader and voyager Megatron and voyager Hound are in-stock at HTS. I got all 3 with the 20% off thanks to emails

And this whole thing is so ****** unnecessary, it's awesome.
Also, if anybody's wondering, the interior is pretty f'in accurate, considering the restrictions. Here's one I sat in at a local dealer for reference.

Is he really the best looking movie figure or is that photographer just one of the best instead? I bet he could make the Dragonstorm components look even better and we all know those are deeply flawed.
Posted by DestronMirage22 on August 11th, 2017 @ 9:25pm CDT
This is the first I'm seeing of this figure.
It's beautiful!
I normally don't collect movie figs, but I HAVE to get this one.
I love the Titan Master/Headmaster gimmick and its integration into the movie line is one of the greatest things Hasbro's done in recent years.

Yes, but could they get the photos without the necks falling off

Yeah, something tells me this figure is gonna be especially hard to come by, especially if the wave 1 figures don't start moving at b&m...

Enjoy!
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Oh look another Bumblebee, this one surprised me with how small it is. This is probably the easiest transformation of any Bumblebee I've handled, which I appreciate but it also feels rather boring in hand. The swappable arm gimmick is nice but I'm concerned that the joint will loosen over time and use. If you're a fan I'm sure you'll enjoy this figure.

Not only that but so far it is not part of any confirmed wave. It was removed from wave 3 and there is no case breakdowns of any following waves after that.

If Generations Arcee is anything to go off of, I'd say theres a definite possibility. I really hope not, but you never know.

Well, I'm just glad to know that hasbros gonna end up screwing us out of Cogman (and likely wave 2,3, and if it exists, 4) so that they could put some of the worst figures in the line into wave 1 and slurging them all over the aisles

Other new toys to come at the tail end have been Skylynx, arcee and chromia and the sky reign deluxes. So it could go either way. What will happen for sure though is that he will be priced higher at BBTS for them to make up their lost cost on the other figures in the case that wont sell as well.

I mean, you say they're supposed to be on shelves, but, we all know that slash and grimlock are gonna stagnate on shelves like shelfwarming we've never seen before. At least that's literally whats happening in my area, 10 grimlocks, 7 slashes, and a few berserkers and crappy bb's, they don't move, worse even are the legion figures, which are all low quality repaints that no one is spending money on. So it's likely that if this happens at enough retailers, then we won't see much of the line

i saw these at my Walmart yesterday (friday) but didn't pay enough attention to even really be sure what it was. Much more interested in grabbing tr Cosmos and Seaspray finally.

The bumblebees all sold really well where I am. They were sold out for a while until we got restocked with the variant.

Cogman is a very interesting looking movie figure. Fingers crossed that this toy doesn't have any quality control issues. *cough*Trypticon*cough*

With regards to Hound, he is much better than his AoE self in my opinion. He is bigger, he feels beefier, he actually looks a bit more his size, and overall he feels really good. I miss all his weapons, but the feet/wheels are very clever and I love that touch. This is a great mold and I do like it so far.
Now for the Megatrons. They each differ so much that I find myself loving each in a very different way. The Leader has the best jet mode, I love it! It is amazing, and with the flame effects, it is a perfect jet mode. Spectacular. The voyager has a much better robot mode, and both have a very fun transformations. I cannot really rank one above the other yet, but they are both really well worth it!

Now everyone wants a Bumblebee? Where were they 5 years ago?
My stores are still stocked with Wave 1, but the Voyagers have moved to Wave 2... with Grimlock accompanying them, Leaders have arrived, and one single Target has a Dinobot Slug which is Wave 2. I guess that's still good...

Now that doesn't help me one bit! I don't have figures from any live action movie, so I'm trying to avoid getting both Megatrons. I finally saw the voyager at my local TRU and it looks nice in robot mode, and the scale is nice. Every time I think I'm just going to get the voyager, I keep coming back to that killer jet mode for the leader. Argh!

My local TRU is stuffed with Grimlocks. I think there were at least 9.
