Earlier this morning we got some shots of the upcoming T Wrecks figure based on leader class Kingdom Megatron. We now have a proper listing to go with this figure and a 4 pack.
T Wrecks is a Red Card exclusive which means he will only be available for purchase online with Target's partnered credit card (the red card). He will be $50, the standard leader class price. The 4 pack will be $80 and just a normal exclusive (no need for the special credit card). It is called the Transformers Worlds Collide Multipack which may be a reference for characters from the Beast Wars era and G1 era both being part of the Kingdom line. These have not been leaked in any way so far so we have no clue what figures may be included. Although $80 is the price of 4 deluxes.
The images from fellow Seibertronian JTPrime17 also give you the DCPI which you can use when calling Target to see if they have these toys in hand, whenever they come out.

The gold was dulled down to almost gray, the two different blues were reduced to being the same color, the helmet was left red instead of copper, and there was little attempt to put the bright pink into the color scheme...They seem to have missed the charm of the original deco.

Interesting, but doubtful that I will be picking this up. Just not enough emotional connection for Maximals in general of the VM Dinobots line, and I don't feel a need to really double dip on this admittedly fantastic mold.

Target has carried both regular exclusives, like the clones, Runabout and Thrust, as well as a Selects release, Red Wing. But that's all rather moot, as the line only affects its availability in Target stores. Even then, (returned?) Red Wings were found on the shelves so...

That isn't written anywhere here:
Exactly, we don't know. When it's officially labelled as a selects, it will be posted there, till then saying this is the wrong thread with no actual proof sounds bogus.

...well T-Wrecks had been a maybe for me when we had yet to see it, but that drab prototype grey is a hard pass.
Very curious to see what's in that 4-pack though, $80 could be a decent number of size class combos, especially if the set is potentially cheaper than retail price for an equivalent purchase of figures (like how the Rainmakers cost less than 3 Voyagers).

I kinda want T-Wrecks so I can add to the Maximals since Blackarachnia and Dinobot sport Predacon symbols along with all the Fossilizers. But the deco does so little to differentiate from Kingdom Megatron. When you look at Prowl and Barricade you can tell they share a mold but are completely different characters. Looking at T-Wrecks, I don't see a lot of difference from Kingdom Megatron.

Actually I'll be passing on T-Wrecks also. back in the day, I got all the Beast Machine Dino's because for me they were a less expensive way to get several BW Neo toys that I really wanted. Also while I was able to get the Takara Magmatron, I also got the Target Exclusive Beast Machines Magmatron as well. T-Wrecks was the only one I skipped way back when. It would be amazingly awesome if the 4 pack were "something" homaging the other Beast Machines Dinobots...but not sure what exactly that would be.

Interested in the four pack until I see it and its availability.
T-Wrecks is a pass, I kind of wanted him as I wont be getting Kingdom Megs (KO MP for me) but the original toy was something I passed on with it not being Beastmachiney or a Japanese exclusive mold. Nice to see him and no hate for the figure but I have to prioritise other stuff.

Getting a RedCard Debit card is incredibly easy and totally worth it. Comes out of your checking account. You get 5% off on all purchases and free shipping on the website. There’s a credit card version, but you don’t have to get that, just get the debit card version.

I'm going to make a quick guess on the four pack. It'll either be four Deluxes or one Voyager, two Deluxes, and a Core. I'm also thinking based on the name it'll be two vehicles and two beasts. Who knows, maybe this is where we'll get Packrat and Fractyl?
Heck, being Target and given the ambiguous title it could be mixing movie lines and be a box of Bumblebees or SS86 vs Bayverse.

I was thinking more ...
It's a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope
Against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up
Against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West
Or man against man
Can any nation stand alone

Pretty sure Takara said that it was just a prototype for any line, they just aren't sure what line to release it in. It's definitely not MP though. Maybe in 2023, we'll see a 20th anniversary line for Armada in the same way that Beast Wars in Kingdom to celebrate it's 25th this year

T-Wrecks looks cool, but I'm still hoping to score BW Megatron in the wild -- unfortunately, all I have been able to find here in Oregon are the Legends class figures, and one deluxe: Blackarachnia. All others I've obtained had to be online -- there was no way I was going to miss out on Dinobot!
oh, I did get lucky the other day finding Cyclonus though -- he looks great too.
I am still hoping for more Beastly surprises....!

I don't know if it will ever happen, but if I find a T-Wrecks or Beast Megs on clearance, I'd love to customise it into Beast Grimlock. I mean, his G1 self, but "biological".

You're the only one I know of who's found Cyclonus in a store... I haven't seen any Kingdom voyagers, saw Megatron once, and OP a few times the first times I saw figures from this line, but not in over a month or so.
I'm sure others are getting tired of me saying this, but I think Cyclonus is one of the very best figures that's been released recently... He's easily one of my very favorites in my collection.

I just opened my Leader Megatron from Hasbro Pulse today and good gravy is his transformation an absolute mess of panels that just refuse to stay in place. He's like the worst of the overengineered ROTF toys, and I say that as one who liked the ROTF toyline (the movie not so much). And that soft rubbery plastic is SO going to dry out and wither away that it's practically on borrowed time right out of the box.
After experiencing that awfulness, and coupled with the fact that this new T-Wrecks toy has downright butchered the original toy's deco, I may just track down a vintage T-Wrecks in direct protest of this new one, just like when I went straight to eBay and bought a Legends LG15 Nightbird Shadow when Selects Nightbird was first unveiled as a retool of Siege Chromia (another mold I loathe).
After all, in all of his fictional appearances, T-Wrecks was drawn toy-accurately with the battle mask halves on his head and the tail claw as his actual arm in lieu of a normal hand, so this new one is even less accurate in that regard.

Yeah that rubbery plastic is 1 of the big reasons I passed on leader Megatron at full price. At a discount I may get him, but the $50 I saved on him is going towards MP Beast Megatron, even though I have my reservations regarding that figure as well.

If anything, I'm gonna put Megatron back in his robot mode and may never transform him into his garbage beast mode again. At least the robot mode is somewhat nice, but I was also disappointed to learn that his tail weapon is permanently affixed to his arm and cannot be removed as a separate accessory. Another knock against this figure.

Nice for those who are into the character, but for me this is an easy pass. Less money and less stress to hunt for.

I know T-Wrecks is the latest (definitely not greatest) news, but have people seen this Galvatron pic? I was definitely skipping until I saw the thing they did with his shoulders.
It's not perfect, but much better than the official transformation.

In the third party forums XD
On a more related note, I didn't realise dinobot doesn't have a Predacon symbol
those Maximal still not letting him be his true self all these years on.

Leader beast Megs was a charm to transform and his panels were easy and smooth to align. Am I the only one whose Megatron is perfect, or am I a transformation genius? 
I also do love his "skin". I just hope that it's not a material that will "sweat" oil over time.

Woah, that's a massive improvement. As long as it doesn't affect his arm articulation, this single-handedly fixes my biggest problems with Galvatron.

I'm not sure I'll buy this one, just because it seems so Lazy and I do have the original release, but I am wondering if the Red Card Exclusive will mean scalpers won't be able to pick them all up at once when they go on sale.

It's not hard to get a Target Credit Card. I have one and they keep asking me every time I go shopping there...even when I whip the card out!

That absolutely makes a difference with his overall appearance!
I really wish the color of the battle damage was his main color (and that there was no battle damage at all), but he looks really good. I cannot wait to get this guy!!!!

The Beast Mode colour palette reminds me of Marvel's Devil Dinosaur..
The Bot Mode deco though... Meh. Not a fan of the dull grey.
