The Loyal Subjects Transformers GameStop Exclusives: Red Alert, Optimus Prime and Slag

Since when was Sideswipe a Red Alert clone.....

No no the report is just misleading, TLS site has all the exclusives and Red alert and Sideswipe are both getting their own vinyls

Since the beginning of time!
actually its red alert that's the clone since sideswipe came first back in the G1 series

So are these for sale at Gamestop or are part of some kind of pre-order or something?

They're set to ship out on Friday if ordered on their website. Not sure if they'll be in stores.

The Loyal Subjects have posted on their Facebook page, an official image of the entirety of wave 3 of their blind box Transformers Vinyl figures. Wave 3 includes Scrapper, Longhaul, Bonecrusher, Swoop, Sludge, Rumble, Frenzy, Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw, Trailbreaker, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack, Hound and Blitzwing. That's 14 more characters to fill out your Autobot and Decepticon ranks.

Those look nice. Especially the contructicons.

Besides FIRRIB, (repaint sometime?) these are really cool looking. Too bad I can never find them anywhere.

These all look amazing, I just have no room anymore for a new collection.

Oh boy.... For gods sake, RIBFIR!

Either way, these guys are super cute, wish I could find them.

I picked up Red Alert, Optimus Prime (nighttime edition), and Sideswipe (nighttime edition) from my local Gamestop this week. They look awesome! Excited for Wave 3 and hoping they will make an 8" Devastator to go along with the Constructicons.

Well technically in the Japanese version of the cartoon, Frenzy was the blue guy and Rumble was the red guy (thus resulting in Rumble barely showing up and Frenzy being the main humanoid cassette).

Honestly although the overwhelming evidence in canon points towards FIBRIR I prefer FIRRIB, simply because that was how I remember them (I only ever saw the cartoon on videotape in the early 2000s, long after G1 was a thing- and because I never saw the RID cartoon nor did I know it existed, I always thought it was weird how the cartoon Transformers had absolutely no relation to the toys- thus beginning my history of assigning "home grown" personalities to my TFs). Also, it just seems to suit them better.

Now if only someone would make a Frenzy, Rumble and Ravage for Cybertron Soundwave so I can have a Soundwave with decent, non-floppy minions that doesn't turn into a goddamn tape deck...

On topic, these look kinda cool. I'm worried about how well they'll age though- isn't vinyl very squishy and prone to drying out (and also the paint flaking)?

At The Loyal Subjects booth at Toy Fair 2015 we get to see a wide variety of current and past products including previous waves and the boxed Game Stop exclusives. On display is the latest wave 3 featuring Scrapper, Longhaul, Bonecrusher, Swoop, Sludge, Rumble (red), Frenzy (blue), Buzzsaw, Laserbeak, Trailbreaker, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack, Hound and Blitzwing. ScottyP informs us that the chase figures are Sunstreaker 1/24, Hound 1/48, Frenzy (the blue one for them) 1/96. Wheeljack has light up blinking ears with a demonstration video coming later. The large black figures are customs.

Ok man there's a lot of transformers that have odd portends and can't transform but its grown on us i just have to say that amd this message is pretty random

I wonder how they would do a Devastator in this line, since they're making the Constructicons. They could just reuse one of the larger-scale molds, although it would require tons of retooling to make it look Devastator-ish.

so buzzsaw and frenzy are chase figs... damnit D:

This wave has me hook, line and sinker. Hound and a light up wheeljack, yes please!

When these first came out, I managed to hold myself back from getting into them so I missed wave 1 but with wave 2, just like the kreos, something about these little guys just screamed "buy me!"

We are bringing out the second to last Toy Fair US 2015 galleries. This round has us looking at The Loyal Subjects Vinyl Figures. Check out these fun little guys as The Loyal Subjects display past waves and the current wave 3. Click on any of the images to view the entire gallery.

just so gosh darn cute

One of the key 1984 characters is a 1 out of 96 chase figure. Another is 1 out of 48.

I'm not buying damn master cases and selling them. That's work. I really, really don't like this business model when the chase figures aren't things like the Sunstorms and variants of other characters like they were in the past. Not that I'm uber completionist on these, quite the contrary, I only get a handful of them on impulse and the characters that I like. Were they not blind boxed/chase figure BS land residents, then maybe that'd be different. They also cost too much.

Basically, this weekend I learned that the vinyl figure collecting thing which has overlapped with Transformers on these and Hikari or whatever is just not a scene I enjoy in the slightest.

Though, I will still buy that Wheeljack because it's cool.

I'll wait till I see one of these in person. I'm still not convinced they've fixed the ridiculous balls joints.

Is there a catch-all discussion thread for Loyal Subjects Transformers figures or is this the main one?

I caught a glimpse of these Loyal Subjects vinyl Transformers figures at the impressive Seattle Emerald City Comic Con Bluefin Distribution booth this weekend and it was love at first sight! They look great displayed alongside larger official Transformers toys. I can't wait to start collecting more of them!

I had no idea they carried Transformers. Usually when I go to their booth, I mostly see mecha from other franchises like Gundum

They had a bunch of boxed exclusive sets. The place was packed!

That's incredible. TLS figures are fun as hell.

Thanks to The Loyal Subjects via Facebook, we get a first look at their San Diego Com-Con 2015 Exclusive transparent black Mirage! Check out the image we've mirrored below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

Via the official The Loyal Subjects website, we have a reveal of the upcoming San Diego Comic Con exclusive vinyl figure offered by the licensed company - and it's a double hit by the looks of it! Check out below the official image for Soundwave's cassette companion Buzzsaw, and a translucent edition of Frenzy in the same pack.

Don't miss Thursday at SDCC! We're bringing heat again! [...]

Following up with an uppercut! Les Schettkoe will be on hands signing at 1p. You guys were asking about Buzzsaw? We're bringing Buzzsaw! The yellow beak edition with his pal Frenzy (in translucent clear). BOOM! 2 pak explosion! Window box. Be there or be square!

Ah, so that's where Buzzsaw ended up. At least until they nerf future case assortments by randomly including them

The Loyal Subject have really upped their game since series one.

I randomly picked up a series two last week end (got Slag), and was really impressed with not only the new articulation but also the amount of accessories he came with.

Makes me want to track down a few more. I'm loving the look of the Lazerbeak/Buzzsaw mold.

Following their reveal of their Buzzsaw and Frenzy Comic Con exclusive a few days ago ,which you can read about here. The Loyal Subjects just revealed their Yellow Constructicons SDCC 2015 Exclusive! Check it out below!

From The Loyal Subject:

Les Schettkoe is back at the podium again at 1p. This is super heat on all levels. The famous Construction "Yellow" Constructicon set in all it's glory! A three pak including Bonecrusher, Longhaul and our Devastating pal Scrapper. Scrapper comes with three sound bites, including the Transformers Theme Song! This three pak is windowbox and only 500 avail for those brave enough to dance with 2/3rds of Devastator.
Stay tuned for the Three o'Clock and 5 o'Clock Friday July 10th drops coming tomorrow!

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

Not surprising based on the grammar in the rest of their release, but this Scott Steiner math that they're running works out to Devastator being comprised of 4.5 robots.

This is kind of a slap in the face to those who wanted a G2 Titan Devastator from SDCC....

Titan Devastator is a slap in the face to those who wanted a decent Devastator so I guess we've come full circle.

Double post.

How do you figure? This is just a dude with a license repainting some figures he's already got out in green anyway. Hasbro does nothing but put a rubber stamp on it, if even that. May have carte blanche outside of character selection for all we know.

I didn't mean to imply this was anything other than a coincidence. But think about it:

After the reveals from Hasbro panel at Botcon today, they gave us a preview of The Loyal Subjects Transformers Vinyls Devastator! The green (sometimes yellow) behemoth has gotten a lot of love lately, even quite recently - also from Loyal Subjects by bringing us some G2 Constructicons at SDCC. See the preview below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

I have a general rule that I don't add Transformers to the collection that don't transform, but dammit, I love The Loyal Subjects. Looks like I'll have a couple new Devastators this year!

That Devastator is at least a five inch height one, right?

The Loyal Subjects will be giving out a Loyal Subjects Transformers Action Vinyls Checklist Poster for everyone that is picking up an exclusive from them during San Diago Comic Con!

Bluefin says they're offering the Loyal Subjects stuff including a Transformers "Construction set" which I assume is an autocorrect of Constructicon. Bluefin has multiple booths for some reason, but it seems #5050 is the one specifically for the Loyal Subjects.
