Transformers Kingdom Road Rage Now Available to Order from Target

Tricanius arrived a week ago for me in UK from pulse. My green power ranger finally showed up a year later too (my day 1 preorder was cancelled and I ordered him from elsewhere) but the curse of Internet shopping he has a blemished painted visor.
Passing on wave 4 deluxes if that's what wave 4 is and I've passed on Scorponok Kingdom bw figures haven't been what I've wanted from them so far with the exception of airrazor, upcoming ravage and maybe tigatron (though I might as well go for mp version).

Looking forward to seeing Tricanius combos in the forums with the rest of the fosilizers, I think disassembling transmutate might be too much for me hahaha

I got my Galvatron today. The wrong detail is facing up in the package, and based on shoulder placement I think it's misassembled. How common are the correctly assembled ones in-package? Wondering if I should hold onto it to try to replace with one I find at B&M retail, or just own up to fixing it myself or living with it as-is. I recently swapped hip parts between a defective PotP Ricochet and Jazz--with an assist from my wife--so I figure I'm capable of the swap if I really want to do it.

I'm probably going to bust him open, I'm not even sure I prefer the "fixed" version.

Yes. My Transmutate should arrive on Monday, and if Pulse is any indication, items get to my door about 10 days from when they say they are getting ready to ship. So by month end I should have Tricranius and a complete Heroic Fossilizer Combiner ready to show off. Now I am just awaiting a *hopeful* announcement of a Selects release of a Predacon repaint for Wingfinger.

IDToys in the UK posted mine today. Should have it by Monday. Its for somebody's Christmas to go with their MP Road Rage. Gonna be prepared this year for once.

Do we have any idea if Road Rage is ACTUALLY a Red Card exclusive, or if she's just Red Card exclusive to start out like T-Wrecks? I'm really hoping it's that second option, the fact that her page said nothing about requiring a Red Card until today is incredibly frustrating.

After everything I reversed Galvatron's arms and put the plugs from Larkin's Lair or JRC in.. I might even have extras if you need em.

We do have an idea. She's definitely Red Card exclusive.

I was fortunate that the Galvatron I purchased from Target on Monday was correct. However I've seen so many comparison pics. I've seen the ones with the misassembled shoulders and the *rough* edges on top etc... , and frankly, if not for the internet, I probably wouldn't have even known if I had purchased an incorrect one. If it doesn't effect Transformation, I'm not sure what the big deal is. I hear a lot of people say the shoulders look off "sitting so low", honestly, the difference is miniscule if at all. But if anyone feels compelled to fix a defective version, more power to them.

While the reveal of Draculus may have taken the shine away from Road Rage, today is a big day for her as she is now available to order from Target!



Road Rage is also confirmed to be a Target Red Card Exclusive, just as Siege Red Wing was.

Road Rage herself is a redeco of Transformers Kingdom Deluxe Class Tracks who was released as part of Kingdom's 3rd Wave of Deluxes.

What do you think of Road Rage? Have you ordered her already?

Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Thanks for the heads-up!!
Not sure I'll keep her, but I went ahead and preordered.

Being a Target Exclusive is onw thing, requiring you to have a Credit Card to gain access to an Exclusive is quite another.

I agree. I don't have a Red Card, but my wife and my best buddy do. That's why I didn't get Redwing.

Wait, Road Rage isn't a timed exclusive?! I thought we heard she'd be like T-Wrecks??

I've been rotating the shoulders off and on for the last couple hours and I have no strong feelings one way or the other. They sit too high the "right" way; they sit too low the other way. The pinholes don't bother me at all, and I don't mind not being able to peg the treads into the back of the arm since I think that looks too static and restrictive.

At this point I'm sure I'm not going to reassemble the arms, and I don't plan to get pin covers. I've gotten a couple unlicensed mods in the past from Nonnef, but it doesn't really appeal to me here.

Overall he's great, I'd rather be playing with him now than mess around looking for a better version at retail. The shoulders also aren't close to my biggest issue with him, either. I'm having trouble getting the alt-mode to click together tightly between the folded-down shoulder pegs and the clips on the lower chest. But that also doesn't really matter, I'm more worried about cracking the plastic from forcing it than I am having slight gaps in the bottom of the cannon.

Anyway, Kingdom + SS86 rules, TF:TM rules, toys rule.

It still might be, just keep checking in on her.

By the by, did Japan ever release Redwing over there?

It's a shame Road Rage isn't on Pulse like Dracula is

I haven' confirmed it yet but today in the morning i applied for the Target Red-card Debit card and just a while ago it was accepted. I then went to add Road Rage to cart and was able to. I then went to "cart" and it was there, shipping added plus a discount it came out to almost 23 bux. I didn't buy it cause i gots no $$$ right now.
But yeah anyone want to try and apply for the debit card version of the Red-card, seems like you'll get accepted easily.

For those unaware, the debit version just links to your existing checking account, so approval is pretty much guaranteed and should be pretty quick. Basically if your bank's and Target's systems cooperate, you'll be in.

The credit card on the other hand, you do have to wait until you get the physical card and activate it to use it online. Even if you sign up in store, get approved right away and use the card/account in store that day, you still can't use it online. I learned that the hard way last year with Redwing, thankfully he took a while to sell out.

If anyone does decide to sign up, I would recommend doing it in store and checking for promotions. Last year they gave you a $40 of a purchase of $40 or more coupon for signing up in store that came with your card. I've seen that same one more recently as well. I ended up getting Redwing and some LOL something that was $15 for my daughter and ended up paying like $2.50 after coupon and 5% for the redcard.

Optimus's final Golden Disk card is... really not surprising.

(and a lazy recoloring of his first card)

Redwing? In Japan? Who's selling it?

Red Wing isn't a she.

He can be, if you want her to be. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thinking about it, it would be really feasible to mod a Siege seeker into a tetrajet Splitstream. All limbs and the chest plate could be easily modified without affecting the vehicle mode at all. Finding a cheap Siege seeker to make the custom would not be an easy task though.

That fourth wave of deluxes from the Kingdom line is coming in hot. After being found at Chilean retail, these deluxes are now being shipped from Canadian retailer Toysnowman (the same guys who received Canada's shipment of the exclusive Earthrise Coneheads). Both Shadow Panther and Waspinator can be ordered for $34.99 CAD. This further confirms something that was becoming more and more apparent, the Kingdom wave 4 case assortment has changed from what we reported almost a year ago. Slammer and Pipes are not part of this wave and will come in a later wave. Of course, this does not necessarily mean an extension on the Kingdom line in the temporal sense and could simply be additional waves to ensure that there is enough product on the shelves in the holiday season, something Hasbro was very adamant about. This wave being available at this time also confirms that Hasbro has indeed secured a lot of shipping contracts since it was expected next month at the minimum (it is still not revealed and has no preorders). And if a collectible retailer in Canada is getting stock, it means these have reached North America and are being distributed all over (larger retailers take more time to bring a toy from the ports to the shelves).

The two deluxes accompanying Shadow Panther and Waspinator in this assortment are Tracks and Paleotrex. This is good news since while Tracks is in very high demand, even if the figure is not universally loved. These are also the very first online listings for these toys.

Waspinator: https://toysnowman.com/products/transfo ... waspinator

Shadow Panther: https://toysnowman.com/products/transfo ... ow-panther

Well I guess it's a safe bet my pre order for Slammer on amazon shipping October 5 isn't happening

Glad Kingdom Wave 4 is slowly coming in. I got money saved on Amazon for Tigatron. With all of hasbro's latest showings of Star Wars and Marvel I got worried it might be pushed to 2022 like the new star wars figures.

Tracks is cool, I don't care what anybody says.

Um... you may want to correct the article to reflect that the prices are not CAD. They're USD. I just spent $73 on two deluxes...

That must be it. They converted to USD because I'm in the US. Pretty screwed up that they kept the dollar amount the same. I will definitely not be giving them my business anymore with practices like that.

Just say it was misidentified and cancel your order. Write to them, they respond pretty quickly from what I heard.

I'm going to opt to keep this order. It's hard to pass up a chance to get these guys so early. I'll just not repeat the mistake again.

Like Draculus, I’ll just wing finding this one instead of preordering (like I have much choice anyway, sold out as of this writing). Thankfully it’s not a dire need, I only want her as a stand-in Shattered Glass Tracks, even though the head’s wrong.

I'm getting more and more worried that wave 4 won't see a UK release until next year, or if it does it'll only be in very limited quantities and difficult to get hold of. Granted, Waspinator and Tigatron are the only two I'm really interested in from this wave, but we still have no word on pre-orders and it's getting close to the end of the year.
On the plus side, I got an e-mail through from Amazon today, Sideswipe and Skywarp are now coming at the end of this month instead of November, so that'll be a nice thing to look forward to. Of course they probably will get pushed back to the original delivery date again between now and then like my past Amazon pre-orders have, but it'll be great if they do come this month.

Mine is due to arrive tomorrow. Munkky, you using Prime or just regular?

Roadbuster wrote:Mine is due to arrive tomorrow. Munkky, you using Prime or just regular?

Just the regular. Like I say, it'll be great if the set actually does arrive on the new date, but I'm not getting excited until I get a shipping confirmation. I have Airazor and managed to get Red Alert a few weeks ago, so I know more or less what to expect from the set.

Well..., Amazon just moved up my Sideswipe & Skywarp II from November to the end of this month now.

Now that I finally have Commander Rodimus Prime, I can truly say what I think of it.

First, is it a "true" Commander? Hell yeah. Because having the bot without the trailer and the cannon would make no sense and having everything together make it worth it.

The vehicle, the bot, and the base all look glorious. Plus everything is easy to transform without instructions.

HOWEVAH, there's some serious tolerance flaws. Even though I plug in the cannon on both tabs, the trailer cannot fully close. I'm sure it's not catching on the cannon at all, but on something. Also, the bot arms are difficult to tab evenly in the vehicle mode. Another thing that is a bit annoying is that all that inner storage space is not enough to store everything. So I ended up with a blue pinecone beside the space winnebago. Finally the bot's calves panels don't really tab in and just float.

Are these annoyances deal breakers? Not really. That Roddy is definitely a small MP and was pretty much enjoyable overall. I'm glad that I payed 95$can plus taxes instead of the regular 125$can. This makes the small flaws much more tolerable.

My recommendation for those on the fence to get this guy: wait for a sale.



Only things missing here are both MPs.... Or not.

Mine just cleared customs so should be here next week hopefully. Can't wait. Though seeing the length of trailer, makes me realize my shelf is not deep enough for that. Will probably have to put the trailer side ways.

No love for Alternators Hot Rodimus?

I've Been trying to get him and the G1 figures for a decent price. not much luck when shipping ends up being more than the figure itself.

Oh, plenty of love! He's one of the better Alternators in my collection. But that display are for the "true" Hotrods/Rodimusses with similar altmodes. The huge yellow spoiler and blue windshield being key constants. So the realistic altmode of the Alternator and the lack of the spoiler wings in bot mode make him not being part of that display.

Only Hotrod missing may be a Cyberverse one. I'll have to get the best one if he's in the right colors.

Are Puffer and Ranger supposed to come together? I can keep track of all the leaks these days

My only thought was that Prime also came with his trailer yet at Leader Class price point, so this is the aspect that hangs me up over Rodimus being worth $90 versus Prime at $52.

I appreciate the insight into the bot's mechanics and the observations of said flaws, I don't expect perfection but at $90 I would have like a better final product. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to walk in on a sale for just about anything anymore, almost nothing hits retail around me. lol

Yeah, my Sideswipe/Skywarp went from a delivery date of early November to 2 weeks from now.

I think I'm in for Puffer... Not sure about Ranger. Kinda funny to me that his colors have him looking more Decepticon-ish imo.

You cannot compare Optimus Prime trailer with Rodimus Prime's trailer. Optimus's is barely a margarine container with nest to no parts. Rodimus's is huge, with hinges, big cannon, storage spaces, pistons, and whatnots.
