Seibertronians, transform, and Roll Out! It's time to gas up your rides and head out to your local Wal-Marts folks because we are getting reports from across the map of these long awaited bots hitting the shops. We'd previously reported on sightings at Meijer's, Target, and Wal-Mart here and here but we have received word that the new wave has hit wider retail by being found in Wal-Marts in Alabama, Texas, California, Maryland, and Ohio! There doesn't appear to be a pattern here so all we can say is best of luck and happy hunting out there.

As always share your view with the Seibertron crew in the forums and tell us what you find! Please be sure to update your local sighting forum specifically to let your neighbors know where to go.

So I just got Brunt from a friend of mine who works a Walmart, and hearing the case distribution I think we may be seeing a revision wave instead of the original assortment. The case stocked only had 2 Refractors instead of the 3 the initial wave should have. Instead the case was evenly packed with 2 of Red Alert, 2 of Brunt, 2 of Refractor, and 2 of Hound. This is the first I've heard of Hound being included in this wave, so Thundercracker very well still be wave 3, it's just we've only seen wave 3 revision cases.

It's so strange considering there was only 1 wave case rumored, and then this one switches it up and arrives first.

I'm annoyed that I don't have the camera mode. I really want to finish it.

Honestly I'm just really bugged by 'Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime' lacking the Cybetron/Galaxy Force head in his smaller form. Yeah, I get this is a GEEWUN line and all that but with the Voyager being clearly the 'main' Optimus of that line would it have killed Hasbro to give us the Primal-styled 'open mouthplate' look for the smaller to better complete look, even taking into account the Siege figure has a different transformation.

It would have made a world of difference I think.

What's even more upsetting is the fact that they didn't even go full G1 with the head since it still has the yellow eyes. If they'd gone full G1 with the blue eyes, then fine. Whatever. But the yellow eyes are such a tease :-(

No way man. Rip those electronics out and give more articulation to the torso!

And possibly make the sword out of a different material. The rubber does not hold up well in the tropics...

Yellow eyes are a mix of visual consistency with the super mode+homage to the Diaclone/G1 toy coloring.

This.

the Vector Prime mold is good, but it can definitely have some improvements in articulation, swords, and maybe wing size too, they are a bit small and bad material.

It's all good. For a bit I was wondering if it was an in-joke that I wasn't aware of.

So this reminds of Siege now. How many pronunciations for Impactor are there.

So, I just watched Chuck's review of Refraktor/Reflector and at the end he mentioned that on Hasbro's site, when you use the code from his box, you see the three Reflectors with additional parts for a flashbulb and Cybertronian text. I hate being skeptical, but seeing as a gift set of Reflector would be nice to see and potentially get instead of trying to hunt down 3 at retail, can anyone verify/translate the text?

It just says "Microx M" which is a reference to his original microman toy. Its just a fun easter egg, I wouldnt take it to mean anything else. And the pic is just an artist's take on the camera mode, I wouldn't make more of it than that.

Hasbro is releasing two simultaneous case assortments of wave 3 right now, so getting three reflectors shouldn't be the toughest thing.

The flash cube and whatever's covering... Spectro (the right side) may have been planned, but dropped later in development. If so, I'm happy the designers at least considered the cube: no camera's complete without it.

In before "3P" accessory talk. :lol:

yes, I wrote it: artist's take on the camera mode. That looks a lot like the artist renders on toys we have seen before. It's the first thing that is done and then its given to the Hasbro team to use as a base for a toy. Lots of changes may happen in between for functionality's sake, hence why they don't look exactly alike.

Ah alright. Was just vaguely hoping that if a boxset did come to pass that it'd be in toy accurate decos just to help make each figure unique. Oh well

The wings are rubber because that let them stay transparent while not being at risk of shattering sharp pointy shards were he to be thrown or dropped. A lot of mixes of hard clear plastic tend to be on the brittle side. Maybe if HasTak had Lego's clear plastic recipe his wings would have passed the drop test while rigid, but they don't.

I love the original Vector Prime toy, but I do think it could stand improvement (bicep swivels, making the laser sound effect be operated by a button instead of by moving an arm that's not even the arm Safeguard attaches to, maybe some torso articulation). A CHUG Vector Prime would have to be Leader-class to improve on the original, though, due to shrinkage.

I would love to see them take the opportunity with Fasttrack to really have him integrate well with whatever Scorponok ends up being. Like have his component pieces be great guns but can also double as towers or repair equipment, something like that.

Hmm, I wonder if they'll just retool Omega Supreme for him.

I was looking at my Trypticon for the longest time just at his torso and wondering if there was any way they'd end up repurposing that for a future Titan and I can see a little Scorpy in there.

I do hope that we'll get Scorponok as the titan in the next line. Mostly because he's long overdue. Though, I can't decide if I would want them to keep the headmaster the same size as the other headmasters and give him a helmet, or give him a legends class headmaster maybe with the option of storing a normal sized headmaster (sorta like Trypticon with Full-Tilt storing Necro). And I'd imagine that if they did, they'd either include Fasttrack with Scorponok or make him available in the same line

Well, they could do a legends-class Zarak that a normal-size one stows inside and which is then covered by a helmet in head mode a la the original Scorponok toy. Or they could have the big robot head permanently attached, and have Zarak plug into it like Wipe Out (AKA Necro) plugs into Trypticon's head. Doing it that way, Zarak could be used to deploy Scorponok's robot mode face like Wipe Out deploys Trypticon's snout gun.

Nathaniel Prime wrote:3) Refraktor is just great. He's taller than I imagined, and I guess that's a good thing, and he has a really cool looking space cruiser mode. Camera is where it takes the cake though, but I only have 2 right now so I can't fully make it. I really feel this is a superior product to all the 3P versions out there, in terms of look, posabilty, and value.

Overall, this wave has some really great figures going for it, and I'm excited about the Voyager waves coming soon!

Ye gods yes... The 3P Reflectors were all carved with an ugly stick.

Amen I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.

That pic of Vector Prime and Galaxy Upgrade Prime says quite a bit about modern Transformers.

A commentor on my Refraktor video had the brilliant idea of the extra parts being Battlemasters to pad out the set.

I honestly wouldn't even change that about the figure. I get that having the inner bot be G1-based is lazy to many people, but I'm fine with it. It's a good way to get around having two completely different character named Optimus Prime running around in the lore of a G1 setting (hence "Galaxy Upgrade" in the first place), it matches the G1 toy, and since I grew up on the Unicron Trilogy, I'm more used to Prime having yellow eyes than blue anyway. Plus, I always associate the open mouthplate look more with Primal than I ever did with Prime, especially when it blatantly looks like Primal's face design like the Cybertron design did, so I prefer it stay his thing anyway.

I hate being skeptical, but seeing as a gift set of Reflector would be nice to see and potentially get instead of trying to hunt down 3 at retail, can anyone verify/translate the text?

I can confirm the image, as I discovered this about a month ago. This is what you see when you put his code (REFLECTOR) in the site:

Siege-Refraktor-Secrete-Message-02.jpg

As you can see, this shows that there maybe be a possible boxset coming, or whether thus was the original design that was scrapped.

I feel its a mighty huge leap to take from one image.

Well, maybe or maybe not. Didn't the code for Greenlight sort of reveal Lancer as a possibility? If I'm recalling that correctly then Hasbro has used the codes to reveal things before. In any case, I think we'll have our answers about a month from now at SDCC.

Only in this instance, even then it's only the ambiguous "Classified" for the missing limb coupled with the name of Greenlight's significant other:

I so need Elita-1...

Taking precedent from Cybertron's online content, more often than not it was design sketches, color charts and other development material. Is the camera mode advertised on the box in any way?

If you had seen the rest of my sentence, I said that it could have also been design sketches or a prototype. I wouldn't say a possible boxset is out of the question. Surely HasTak recognizes that there is demand for a complete set?

I saw the rest but I didnt want to talk about the rest, just that part. To me this is no different than the numerous other rumours based on art which spread to massive misinformation in the past.

Not totally impossible, but I wouldn't hold out hope. Like I did for the missing PotP Decoy Suits.

No one has pointed out an obvious flaw with the box set logic: the code comes with the Refraktor toy. Ostensibly, the person putting the code into the site just bought 1-3 of those toys. Why would you hint at a box set for a new, comparable version of the product the customer just bought?!

Good point, didn't think about that.

There are a multitude of possibilities that could happen.

Maybe a G1 toy inspired boxset could come out?

Maybe the picture is meant to reveal the "hidden" camera mode? But again, where did the extra accessories come from? :-?

Perhaps SDCC will reveal something, because I am also itching to see those 35th anniversary redecoed Siege Prime and Megatron, as well as Soundblaster

I'm sure they do, which is why they haven't said anything. They want everyone to buy they 3 retail ones first, then when the box set comes out, they'll have to buy it all over again because it has a slightly different deco on it. They know us collectors all too well
