Ope, got me there.
I lumped them into the same grey area as Thrust and Runabout were in Earthrise. I believe T-Wrecks and Road Rage are both supposed to be Target exclusives, with T-Wrecks being a Redcard.

The truth is we don't know. Road rage might be selects or simply target exclusive, like T Wrecks is.

But the year already has plenty of selects regardless.

Toy colour Galvatron (first ever gen selects leader)
Artfire

Maybe we'll get one more, don't know, but I wouldn't expect a whole lot more.

I'd pay 10$ more if Select Artfire come with his two Targetmasters.

Two? Artfire only has one: Nightstick (Fracas in English).

Haha if you're an easy mark I guess I am too, because I'm loving what's being released rn. And if the prices are higher for higher quality toys then so be it. I wasn't a big fan of the prime wars trilogy, though of course I love my optimal Optimus and Broadside. As far as all the complaints go, I get annoyed at times too but perhaps constant complaints are what raised the standard for toys to be as good as they are today haha if you want to look at it that way. Anyways, I guess keep in mind that with any situation, negativity tends to be noticed a lot more than positivity. And those that are content tend to have less to say than those that are not.
I think of it like when someone complains about a SO to their friends or family, or complains about friends or family to a SO. What tends to happen is the negative impression sticks with the person receiving the complaints because they never hear about or witness any of the positives, and they tend to dislike that person or people because all they have to go off of are the complaints. Same thing with transformers toys

It's not that there's plenty to complain about. It's just people love to find things to complain about.

I'm hoping for another Ricochet/Stepper release, repainted from the Studio Series '86 Jazz mold, to go with the new Artfire. The PotP mold is not cutting it anymore.

Based on the only one I have, the United version.



But I see the G2 and MP only have one.
Regardless, Select Artfire better come with at least his main targetmaster even if it sell for 10$ more as a consequence.

That second one was for Hot Rod. Sparks is Firebolt by another name.

Actually just by coincidence, I was scanning TFSource' Spring Sale, and they have Galactic Man "On Sale" (actually just normal price ). Not sure if they ship to Canada, but it is in stock now if you want it.

Unfortunately their list of what was on sale didn't have anything I was interested in.

Are there any Gamestop's up north? I got my Shackwave from them last December.

Woohoo! I found Kingdom Ultra Magnus at Target over my lunch break! He looks so good with those vibrant red and blue hues and the bright white. I still have yet to spot the Wave 2 Deluxes around the Twin Cities area. I've found all the other size classes from the second wave now that I have Ultra Magnus, though. This is already looking to be a much smoother distribution than Earthrise was last year.

Is his wave mate BW Megatron? Hopefully to get that toy soem more distribution as well. Seems like Kingdom wave 1 really came and went quickly. Hopefully there was enough produced so everyone was satisfied (glad to see it's not over produced, but we don't want the extreme shortages of TR wave 5 etc... or even ER wave 3)

There were two other Leaders on the shelf, Optimus Prime and Beast Megatron. I bet Beast Megatron is the wave mate of Ultra Magnus, though, and Optimus Prime might just get repacked for Wave 3 with Galvatron.

I got paleotrex and cyclonus from Walmart, but I have yet to see BW Megatron or Optimus Primal sadly

I was able to get cheetor but had to get him from gamestop

Wolfman Jake wrote:I bet Beast Megatron is the wave mate of Ultra Magnus, though, and Optimus Prime might just get repacked for Wave 3 with Galvatron.

First part is confirmed, second part is very likely.

All I've seen of Wave 1 are the Cores and Deluxes. The Voyager and Leader shelves are always empty at my stores.

Sabrblade wrote:All I've seen of Wave 1 are the Cores and Deluxes. The Voyager and Leader shelves are always empty at my stores.

Mine while not technically empty, might as well be, they get one case of voyager and leader class which sells almost immediately, and it is several days/more then a week, before they get another single case. Not sure why they don't order more than one at a time anymore, maybe the glut of Siege Shockwaves that plagued shelves for almost 2 years has made them wary of getting even moderate quantities of product

I'd like to see what T-Wrecks robot mode head is going to look like. Hopefully it'll be different from Megatrons.

I got my Dinobot in and I cannot get the thighs in raptor mode to fully close. It's annoying, although I wasn't planning on displaying his beast mode with the hands anyway.

We've already seen it, it is basically the same head, just grinning.

Sabrblade wrote:All I've seen of Wave 1 are the Cores and Deluxes. The Voyager and Leader shelves are always empty at my stores.

I've seen everything except for Cyclonus (which is annoying, because he's the only one left that I want), but nothing has stuck around. Only stuff left is the Cores.

I included the alternate head in my article.

I might be wrong, but IIRC, a leaker who has T-Wrecks in hand says that the head is the same as Megatron's.

To be fair, there really isn't much of a difference between the two, other than the grimace.

Kapows added some opics to their facebook of Galvatron...he doesnt look like he could find a fatsuit to fit him. Definitely chonky.

https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/03/22/tra ... fFUJOxDy1k

He's looking pretty schwole

The proportions definitely look awkward. Still getting him though, he's pretty cool. The battle damage doesn't bother me either

I think I'll wait for the inevitable dark grey repaint. Netflix Spoiler pack or something.

Already leaked for Selects

It kinda makes me want Optimus Primal* in purple but doesnt make me want the Galvatron figure. TR will more than do for now, unless Kingdom has a gun mode (that isnt crap)

*might also be cool to get a BW Megs or SS Grimlock repainted in Optimus colours for a Rescue Bots nod.

I got Dinobot today, while he isn't as great as Optimus Primal, Megatron or Blackarachnia, it's still an okay toy. The robot mode is really well done, and I don't dislike the raptor mode as much as I thought I would, it looks decent when posed certain ways.
I also pre-ordered Airazor alongside Dinobot from Kapow Toys, but when I got the delivery Ractonite was in there instead of Airazor. I've contacted Kapow to ask if I can return Ractonite and have Airazor sent out, their website says she's still in stock so it should be fine.

Wait a sec. Looking at that pic, I think I get what the battle damage is supposed to resemble: paint scratches. Like, imagine that all of Galvatron's purple is actually a paint job he's wearing. Now look at the battle damage like it's where his purple paint has been scraped off, revealing gray/silver metal underneath his purple paint job, as though to say his true color is gray (like the 1986 toy) and that the purple is merely covering his toy-colored true appearance.

He looks like he was designed with the cannon mode as the priority. The robot mode is definitely too fat. I'm waiting to see some comparison pics with the TR voyager.

As for the 'battle damage' I thought it might represent the Matrix reflections from the TF:TM scene where Hot Rod finally opens it after ripping it off the chain.

I'd be down for a G1 toy colored Galvatron in the Select line.

But I'll get this Fatlatron day one anyway.

That pic is terrible due to the angle and lens, looks very different in proportions from the earlier pic we saw.

How can the angle be disputed? It's a straight shot of the front.

Hmmmm.................

Well, it just mean one thing. Were's still waiting for the true official pictures and especially high quality in hand pictures of people who know how to transform Transformers and how to take photos. No fluff, not amateur montage, the REAL thing.

It's clearly not. It looks like it was taken a bit from above, and too close for the lens they were using to not deform the picture.

Like this...

Yup. That picture above is certainly not taken from "dead front".

Correct, it's a bad picture. See here:

Amazing how every picture of him is messed up in some way

I'm... just gonna wait for the official reveal here.

And this is why I was hoping Galvatron wouldn't be leaked. Can you imagine how terrible BW Megs would've looked if leakers got to him first??
You'd think people who pay big bucks for insiders to steal samples would know how to transform and properly photograph the things.

this, was trying to figure out what was going on with the picture

Sadly the picture and angle makes the waist look better than it actually is on the figure.

Fools! Galvatron can be any shape he wants!

This is a better shot from a much better angle with a decent attempt at lighting. Definitely a "buy on sight" figure for me.

Galvy is a THICC boy.

Nice.

TFW has updated pics and yep, Im just gonna wait for the next one, maybe SS86s fifth or seventh wave will have a decent Galvatron.
