New Transformers Toy Listings in Toysrus Computer: Studio Series Movie Toys, Exclusive Thundercracker and More

I'm genuinely excited for the Studio series. I thought with Last Knight over and Bumblebee movie not having a lot of character toys that I wouldn't have much to look forward to Transformers-wise but thanks you Hasbro/Takara for continuing to produce the movie Transformers figures cos that's my thing.

040765 - ex transfrmrs rebekh garag - $29.99 01/01/18

First off, that date is most certainly a place holder.

Second, pretty sure that's "Rebekah's Garage". Sounds like a playset, I'm guessing there's a person in the Bee movie named (tentatively?) Rebekah.

Really hoping that the thundercracker is a repaint of the potp starscream mold.

Me too, which leads to the next question, what store is going to get Skywarp as an exclusive?

If I were a betting man I'd say HTS or convention exclusive (which would later be up on HTS anyway)

Thundercracker from toysrus, skywarp from somewhere else and then a 3 pack of cone heads as the big sdcc exclusive. That's my dream

I'm about half sold on the coneheads. I'd be all in if they differentiated their wings.

Agreed. I'd prefer the coneheads all had the different wings

Skywarp would probably be a BBTS and/or Amazon exclusive.

Another long list of upcoming toys was posted just now and while most were the same we had seen both here and here, there was one Toysrus exclusive that had not been found so far.

156569 – EX TRA Autobot Masterpiece – $99.99

The listings was found in CSIS (Centralized Sales Improvement System, which is Toys R Us' inventory network) by TFW2005 user Optimus423

While the listing is vague, it confirms a few points. Firstly, this means that Hasbro will continue to provide Toysrus with exclusives, which people doubted with the reveal that MPM Ironhide would not be a Toysrus exclusive. Secondly, it means that Hasbro is continuing to release Takara's Masterpiece figures since this listing cannot reffer to any MPM toy. It being an Autobot means that only one out of the two MPM toys that would have worked would have been Ironhide, and as we just mentioned, he is not an exclusive.

So this listing must reffer to an Autobot (and sadly not a Maximal), from Takara's Masterpiece line. Prices have been all over the place in the past few years so it is hard to tell exactly which Takara Masterpiece Autobot Hasbro and Toysrus would release for $100. It looks far too low for Ultra Magnus and far too high for Sideswipe or Wheeljack. Could this be Masterpiece G1 Iornhide?

Let us know what you think.

This toy adds to the several Toysrus Transformers exclusives coming our way this year which now include:

40846 - EX TRA Seeker Thundercracker - $29.99 (DC has 978 on order)
40765 - EX TRA Rebekah Garage - $29.99 (Bumblebee movie?)
141434 - EX TRA Optimus Starscream Set - $24.99
141450 - EX TRA Street Racer - $16.99
156569 - EX TRA Autobot Masterpiece - $99.99

I too would love to have the primary seeker trio in Voyager scale, or even a sextet if we're including the "coneheads," but NOT for this mold. This rendition of Starscream isn't my idea of a real "Classics/neoG1" update of the character. I think we're going to have to wait another several years at this point.

Possible, but that would be the first "non-screen" character in that line-up, which seems to be focusing on characters actually featured in the first couple of films so far. It being an exclusive, though, might mitigate that somewhat.

Those. Figures are ok looking classic seeker figures for seekers are still ones personally like fun to transform voyager seekers in power of prime figure series are good step up for seeker figures

I would actually have liked to see the rest of the seekers made into deluxe size to be limbs for starscream to be honest. It seemed to me that would have been a cool use for them.

I remember being able to get Masterpiece Optimus for $99 (was originally $129, but they had "sales" at $99). So it "could" be a reissue of that figure. Ultra Magnus has the same footprint, so while it seems unlikely, it is possible.

Black Bumblebee wrote:I remember being able to get Masterpiece Optimus for $99 (was originally $129, but they had "sales" at $99).

They just reissued Optimus in 2017 and for 160 so on both counts I think we should think of another character.

Yeah, because this mold isn't the best, I would be content with just the three major seekers. They could issue deluxe combining limbs for the remaining coneheads. Heck, they could put out a convention box of the other three and fans would eat that up — they already have the mold. Same for a lavender clone (or Hotlink, as he became known.) Throw that guy in the box. We'll have a blast mix and matching them on the three main seeker bodies.

Whatever it takes to get a good, fleshed out seeker gestalt. Let's do it, Hasbro!

I'm hoping for Ultra Magnus, but it would be cool if it's Sunstreeker too

Do we have any clue who street racer is?

NTESHFT wrote:I'm hoping for Ultra Magnus, but it would be cool if it's Sunstreeker too

If the reissue of MP-10 by Hasbro last year was already $140, I sincerely doubt that Ultra Magnus would go for any less then that, let alone for $100. I think the safest bets are either one of the "larger" van/truck chracters like Ironhide or Inferno, or, as you suggested already, a much more costly car mold, like Sunstreaker.

I wish Hasbro would have more transparency about their upcoming releases. By the time a USA masterpiece is announced, I've already bought, shipped, and opened the Takara.

Also, announcing what they have rights to and are PLANNING to release would prevent us from buying 3P masterpiece for items like Mirage, Hound, Jazz, etc.

(Or conversely, knowing they have NO plans to release something due to licensing issues, that would let us know we need to resort to 3P. I know a lot of us are on the fence, keeping an eye out for word from Takara.)

What I wanna know, is what it's number designate will be. Bee was MP-08, Prime was MP-10. Will this be MP-09 to bridge the gap or will they ignore the misstep and go straight to 11

Probably Inferno, seems too pricey for ironhide but with toysrus uk charging £50 for bumble bee on clearance let alone what they were trying to charge before then, it could just be wheeljack or sideswipe. Always a chance it could be an overpriced sunstreaker.

A list has surfaced on Weibo for 2019 products in collector oriented Hasbro Transformers line. This list includes toys we already know about, like Siege leader Optimus Prime but also toys we had no clue of until now, like Dark of the Moon Leader Optimus Prime (it seems only a matter of time before every Transformers toy released is another Optimus Prime). The list was found on Baidu and includes the product number for each release. The new Siege toys listed, like Skywarp, Greenlight, and the Firestormers will be exclusives, probably similar to the multitude of POTP exclusives we got in 2018 (ie Nemesis Prime, Wreck-Gar, Punch/Counterpunch).

Seeing Greenlight here, under the Siege line, means she will probably be a retool of Chromia and also not sport a combiner peg (no fembot combiner for you!). Slamdance, under the Firestormers, might be a redeco of Skythread. You can speculate as well, of course.

As for the studio series we have a voyager KSI Bot, deluxe hightower, an unknown and the aforementioned DOTM Optimus Prime.

The full list is below:

Okay, so just last night I was thinking that one could customize Skytread/Flywheels into Slamdance and was suprised I hadn’t heard that idea before.

Also, this is almost definitely what the Firestormer pack will be based on: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Firestormer
Probably a sign of a G2 Sideswipe, given that we can see he’ll be in it. It think that’s pretty neat.

william-james88 wrote:(I)t seems only a matter of time before every Transformers toy released is another Optimus Prime

I can’t wait for Optimus Prime PotP Deluxe Class Ricochet Version, oh and MP-43 Optimus Prime Beast Wars Megatron Version, and then there’s the upcoming Optimus Prime Siege WFC Leader Class Shockwave Version!

Jury’s still out on MP-44 Optimus Prime Masterpiece V3 Optimus Prime Cartoon Optimus Prime Version Optimus Prime, though.

So many Optimae, so little drachmae.

These are certainly interesting, a voyager skywarp makes sense, and considering there's no more room in the voyager listings for Siege as a whole. Question is, will we get earth alt Seekers in the next two years

Greenlight? Like one of the two background fembots of Elita One's team? Does that mean we'll get a Lancer too? I hope so, we need more fembots, also they're one of my favorite couples. ^w^

william-james88 wrote:(it seems only a matter of time before every Transformers toy released is another Optimus Prime).

Odd. The very popular, fan favorite, beloved and cherished Big Good of the franchise is highly represented in the toyline? That makes no sense. (If it wasn't clear I was being sarcastic)

Movie Masterpiece Jazz and Megatron!

I'm just thankful it's not more Bumblebee.

The only problem with that idea is that with Slamdance, Grand Slam (the red tank) forms the upper body and Raindance (the blue jet) forms the lower body. Using the same mold as Skytread/Flywheels, Grand Slam will now form the red lower body and Raindance will now form the blue upper body of Slamdance. While it still works like this, it also still takes away from the appearance of the G1 Character. Not to mention that they both lose their third transformation, which is forming cassettes that store inside Blaster's chest.

Any reason you guys aren't thinking that the "Firestormer Pack" might be a Sideswipe figure with Slamdance done in the style of WFC "Micromasters" Ravage and Laserbeak?

I’m SUPER excited for DOTM Optimus! I wonder if he’ll come with the full trailer or just the flight tech, and if he’ll have his handheld sword and axe from his fight with Sentinel.

The real question is, how much better will Leader TF3 Prime be than Takara's MB-11 and MB-17.

Probably a joke in comparison

Aside from them being possibly exclusives, thus potentially disqualifying them from new molds, it's the right most number in the table, which is the price more than likely:

Voyager SS: 349
Deluxe SS: 249
Leader SS: 549

Deluxe WFC: 169
Voyager WFC: 269
Leader WFC: 469

Greenlight WFC: 249
Firestomer WFC: 499
Skywarp WFC: 499

Greenlight fits with the "Deluxe + extra", but the Firestormer and Skywarp packs are more than Leader. The contents has to be quite substantial to justify the price, and Slamdance as a pair of cassettes wouldn't really cut it.

Overcracker wrote:The real question is, how much better will Leader TF3 Prime be than Takara's MB-11 and MB-17.

Well, I imagine it’ll be a mod of the existing SS voyager figure with a trailer/jet pack, so not the same size or complexity as the ROTF leader. It certainly won’t have the same paint apps as the Movie the Best figures, but it’ll hopefully come with Some accessories that neither of those have.

Another one? We are already getting a modified Voyager Prime that seems to combine with the upcoming Jetfire figure.



Two Voyager Primes with different "flight packs" seems excessive.

I could see a trailer taking up the extra Leader cost. But that would just be disappointing.

A thought comes to mind however... What if Hasbro decided to bring Takara's "upscaled" Evasion mode Prime into the Studio Series?

Doubtful as that would screw with that scale guide they are using. I do believe it will be a retool of the voyager prime with trailer that transforms into flight pack. Then I think they'll make a new prime to better represent knight prime the year after...(oh and a Cybertron Prime from the Bumblebee Movie)

What if the trailer instead or also (yeah right) formed the big ring-shaped armory? We've never had an official toy of that. Also, a voyager DOTM Optimus would be further distinguished by the chestplate. And hopefully he'd include Optimus' BFG from DOTM. Or maybe the shield or the axe.

Also, that "Legendary" Optimus figure wouldn't exactly be a DOTM Optimus now would it?

I wish we knew more about thT WFC Leader zprime before I buy the Voyager.

You are of course correct. DOTM != AOE.

It was a nice thought while it lasted.

Well we know that the firestormer pack includes more than just swipe qnd slamdance as it also has someone whose name begins with ai and possibly more, so as long as those other figures are of enough value they can still release this set with a micromaster combiner slamdance and still keep it around $50

So far the confirmed cassettes border on cheap looking and stupid (Ravage anyway).

Plus I don't like the way that G2 Sideswipe looks either, so the only thing that would motivate me in buying this "Firestomer pack" is if Slamdance is a Flywheels retool. I'd just buy it for Slamdance and sell the rest. But if it's a crummy cassettes combiner that "wolverinetodd" seems to be hoping for with no Voyager Blaster even confirmed. Then that set is all his...

And here's hoping that Skywarp comes with someone better in his pack then.

Here's hoping for an awesome G2 Sideswipe!
