The newest batch of figures consists of 2 figures, and those 2 figures are Cybershark and Wolfang. Cybershark was previously revealed thanks to a walmart listing, while Wolfang has been rumored but is at last confirmed. Wolfang is the original Maximal release of the figure as well.

Both of these figures are set to be released for Preorder this Thursday March 24 at 1:00PM EST, so stay tuned for those preorders, which will be part of Walmart Collector Con.

It's the 10th Anniversary version with the washed out colors and the tampographed Maximal symbol on his right cheetah shoulder, instead of the original Cheetor deco that the reissue more closely resembles.

yes, it was noticed early on. they even announced the toy using photos from those innacurate toys

The Wolf and the Hammerhead. Two of the best non-show Maximal designs in the line. If I didn't have them and their every variant, I'd be tempted.

I know Beast Wars has it's fans - but... these are re-issues. Maybe it would be better if these re-issues were kept as online exclusives at Pulse or something. That way the fans who really like these can order them, while store shelves are used to stock more of the newer, current figures....

Did you think the same about the G1 reissues Walmart got? Cuz those took up just as much shelf space as these currently do.

I do at the moment - because I'm noticing that a lot of the shelf space that could be used to stock more of the newer lines (many of which are rarely seen in some areas) is full of re-issue figures instead. Many of the WFC line figures were never seen on store shelves by many areas (figures like Mirage, Trailbreaker, the Runamuks), and one can't help looking for cause and effect. While at the same time, those shelves were clotted with re-issue figures that didn't sell well, and wound up in clearance months later. Are stores passing on getting more of the newer figures, so they can stuff the shelves with these re-issues? Maybe not - but... maybe?

To be fair, I've noticed the same shelfwarming with the RED figures. However, due to that vocal part of the fanbase (and contingent within HasTak itself), catering to nostalgia tends to trump moving Transformers forward as a brand/franchise/series.

So I've seen preorders appear for Wolfang and Cybershark now. RRP £25.99... Regardless of the five times mark up in ..27 years. I thought to myself, I wonder what the secondary market prices are? Surely lower, more realistic, right? RIGHT!?

Oh, delusional eBay...

Why am I even surprised anymore??

I bought Scorponok. It was a shock that he cost 62$can plus taxes, almost double the price of a deluxe. He's still a mega and it's better than paying the 200$+ asked on eBay for the original.

But here's the thing. I'm afraid to unbox him because of his damn spring-loaded gimmicks. I fear that I'll lose the claw-bee and the missiles in a matter of seconds. #-o

Nope.

I bought it on Walmart.ca
And contrary to Amazon, Walmart have packed my Scorponok CAREFULLY in a BOX with BUBBLE packing.

I wouldn't be surprised if the strength of the spring hasn't been lessened since the OG figure.

Based on recent video reviews of the Scorpy reissue, the OG could actually kill.

At worst, you'd have to hunt around for where the Cyberbee went whenever you put the figure down (until the plastic clip inevitably broke). The missiles had a bit more bite to them. But I only put them in once. As I lost one of the missiles upon loading it for the first time.

I lucked out about 3-4 years ago and got K-9 MOSC for about $40 USD with shipping and Takara BW Buzzsaw for like $25 also with free shipping. Sadly those days are long gone now. :/

i picked up Scorponok on Friday, and he is really nice. I wanted this guy, finally got him, and he is wonderful. Definitely worth it. I am very glad they reissued him so I could get him.

We have news that Transformers Retro Beast Wars Cybershark has been found in the US. No Wolfang was found yet since these ship in solid cases. TF fan Red Snarl found this toy at Walmart (the exclusive retailer in the US) in Fishkill, New York. What an appropriate city for a first sighting.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

This sighting was originally posted here.

JTPrime has some new for us concerning the Walmart exclusive Beast Wars Retro line. We knew we would be getting Tarantulas, K-9 and Terrorsaur and now we have the product codes for 2 of those. But better yet, we have a totally new listing. We now know that Beast Wars Iguanas is also being reissued. Now there are 2 Beast Wars Iguanas toys, one basic like Terrorsaur and a Transmetal 1 one. Smart money is that this will be the basic frill lizard. That does mean that as with Rattrap and Terrorsaur, we are expected to pay deluxe prices for a basic class toy.

TRA GEN BEAST WARS VINTAGE K9 – 501099415441
TRA GEN BEAST WARS VINTAGE IGUANAS (Iguanus) – 501099415443
TRA GEN BEAST WARS VINTAGE Terrorsaur – 501099415439

Posted by -Kanrabat- on June 19th, 2022 @ 7:15am CDT

I have them all except Iguanas and Terrosaur that don't interest me.

One thing I like about these is there's differences enough for the originals to not lose one cent of value.

Re: Transformers Beast Wars Reissue Cybershark and Wolfang Officially Revealed (2136207)
Posted by AllNewSuperRobot on June 19th, 2022 @ 9:19am CDT

The only Terrorsaur figure I liked was the Transmetal. So not really interested in the OG figure. Nice to see Iguanus getting some love again.

This really surprised me. I thought we wouldn't see any more vintage reissues (original Transformers or BW) since Hasbro is eliminating plastic from their packaging. Either these will be an exception to that decision, or they are going to look very odd...

Exclusives get exceptions. Hasbro only made the commitment for mainline toys.

Posted by Sabrblade on June 19th, 2022 @ 2:21pm CDT

I'd be mainly interested in Terrorsaur if he comes in the show-accurate Takara running change colors, since I already have the Takara figure but it's misassembled with two of the same fist.

Re: Transformers Beast Wars Reissue Cybershark and Wolfang Officially Revealed (2136239)
Posted by Emerje on June 20th, 2022 @ 6:16am CDT

Only use of the Terrorsaur mold I have is Hydra so I'll be picking that up, I have Crazybolt (got him on clearance at BBTS some 20 years ago) so I'll be getting Iguanus, and I don't have the Tarantulas mold at all so I'll be getting that as well. K9 I do have so that's a pass.

So far the reissues have done me a lot of good, it's really helped me pad out my early Beast Wars collection having needed Rattrap, Tigatron, Cybershark, Wolffang, Terrorsaur, Iguanus, and Tarantulas. I still need to pick up a cartoon colors Scorponok, but I have an original so it isn't quite as important, waiting on a clearance.

I may end up getting K9. I have the others already, I think (can't remember if i actually own Iguanus already)

Re: Transformers Beast Wars Reissue Cybershark and Wolfang Officially Revealed (2136267)
Posted by Sabrblade on June 20th, 2022 @ 10:17pm CDT

I think it would be cool if K-9 was a slight redeco of the original, with his yellow fur paint changed to a more realistic golden brown shade.

We came across an interesting e-bay listing. It is for a "Transformers Beast Wars Kenner Vintage Collection Evil Predacon Retrax 220801", by a shop which tends to get the latest Transformers toys. They do not have an image yet but it's written that an image of the 2022 packaging is coming. For those unfamiliar with the toy, we have a gallery of it here.

For now, that's all we have. When we get more info, we will share it with you.

With the high parts count Retrax is, I bet the price will be close to leader class, l8ke Scorponok.
Thank God I already have mine.

This is a bad Transformers, but in a cool and silly way.

Retrax, more than any other figure, deserved something modern and BETTER to come from this:

Not a reissue of the original gimmick-ruined figure.

Gosh, I remember having this toy as a kid.

It's features included "Be a Ball" and "Give hugs." Always wondered why silly bug hug man wasn't in the show when I was little.

I also remember it being a really flimsy toy that didn't quite lock in place correctly.

Same. And I just scored a Powerhug in box for under $15 on Mandarake so I'm completely set. Although... I might just get this one just to say I have all versions.

I was 17 when Retrax came out and I've always loved that figure. The unique head sculpt, the clear shell, the paint, the roll up feature that's pure genius, it's just a fun toy even if it isn't a particularly great action figure.

Transquito is amazing but the rotating joint of the bug legs at the arms aged badly. First one shattered and and I repaired it. Now it's the second one who just broke on me.
Unless these bugs legs are not meant to rotate at the arm and I messed up?
