Hell, I might end up getting both of them.

One for nitro Zeus and one the current head uses, boss

I will say, I'm sad they didn't use a design like that for Starscream. The actual design we got isn't terrible but Nitro Zeus looks soooooo cool.

I like Nitro's design but I still far prefer Starscream. He was a very unusual creative design for the time especially in regards to having an accurately scaled jet who didn't tower over everybody in robot mode and he just looks cool to me. Leader Starscream had been on my want list for ages and I often play with the DotM Deluxe figure and just wish it was bigger but wasn't keen on the voyager figures I had owned (though now I'm aware there's an upscaled voyager size version of the Deluxe, I must have it!)

Wave 2 Voyagers have just started appearing at my local Walmarts, in the Dallas area.

Welcome and they have appeared en masse at Toys R Us in Québec.

Expect him at Walmart around the time of Deluxe Wave 2, which should come pretty soon. By the by, Walmart now has a second Transformers themed display.

Does your Walmart happen to be a Super Walmart by any chance? My smaller Walmart was supposed to get a new shipment overnight, and when I went this morning, there was not one new figure...

They should be appearing at your Walmart shortly, since they have both been spotted at Walmarts in both the US and Canada.

Since he is an exclusive he doesnt belong to any wave and doesnt have an estmated release from Hasbro. He gets released whenever Walmart wants to. For the last movie, they released their exclusives in August so thats the best bet.

Uh, I really hope that that big gap on the back of that TLK bee is just the product of mistransformation.

Wave 2 hasnt even reached saturation yet, so no reason sores would stock on wave 3 when they still have a ton of wave 2 to sell.

As mentioned in the UK sightings thread I can hardly even find Wave 2 around these parts. Argos has Wave 2 deluxes at silly £24.99 price. Everywhere else here (Forbidden Planet, The Entertainer, Tesco, Toys R Us etc) only has Wave 1. So when the heck will I see that Bee that's so for me.
I'll have to stick to using online stores like Kapow I suppose but it is a joy when you see a TF figure you want to purchase ACTUALLY on a shelf or peg in front of you when you visit a store.

Oh man TOTALLY! I was overjoyed when I saw all these figures up for grabs all at once at Toysrus.

Your Bludgeon was stuck in my head a lil bit cos I DID look out for him partially out of curiosity I guess but no new RID stuff I could see (not that I would recognise much of it cos it generally doesn't interest me but I would certainly notice that Bludgeon even though I stated it's probably not for me).
But yeah NO NEW TRANSFORMERS 'ROUND THESE HERE PARTS!

Where's my goddamn RiD Ratchet wave.

Doesn't always suck. I had Deluxe Sqweeks and Voyager Megatron way before most folk here and I love them both muchly. Sure, Megs came from Kapow but Sqweeks was an Argos purchase.
Just if they could even show some consistency...
Posted by Va'al on July 13th, 2017 @ 12:39pm CDT
If you come across them, make sure to use the Sightings Database and the regional sightings forums to let other fans know - and happy hunting!

I haven't seen anything past Wave 1 in Eastern Tennessee. My Target store has things like TLK Bumblebee, Slash, Barricade, Berserker, and Grimlock, and TR Bumblebee, Chromedome, Hotrod, Triggerhappy, Optimus Prime and Megatron...

Yep, same TLK and same Titans waves here too although with the addition of Broadside next to the Optimus Prime and Megatron Titans figures

Yeah i hadn't seen him before today. Am not interested in the figure but it was nice to see SOMETHING that hasn't been clogging up those shelves for ages (the wave 3 Titans Deluxes have been there 'forever' even at the discount prices)

Knowing your taste, I would suggest just sticking with the movie toys instead of getting this Bludgeon. I know you dont like the animated toys and he is a lot like them and works well with them aesthetically. But since they are not part of your collection, this bludgeon might stick out like a sore thumb.

I dunno. He looks a bit too lacking in chin to fit with Animated.
And yeah I liked some clever aspects of certain Animated toys when I bought that huge lot cheap that I sold off seperately (made good profit cos the previous owner couldn't be bothered and just wanted rid in one lot) but aesthetically nope not my thing, you're right. I actually do think wildly different styles of Transformers whether Animated or Movie have forced Hasbro and Takara to up their game in ways and come up with new ideas and solutions in making the designs work in transformable toy form and those lil bits of cleverness benefit the brand as a whole when designing new toys.

I'm rather amused by Optimus still having the wrong sword though. they just painted it a bit better. worth £10 or so for a replacement i'd say with the options being a plastic or metal one or a harder to find campaign one. - speaking of weapon oddities you can get reproductions of Bee's hammer now made of metal but they may be more voyager sized than suitable for bee at 15.5cm and the other 2 sizes are huge one is 22cm long and the other is 18cm - They also do an an 18cm Optimus sword and an 18cm Megatron one too also all metal.
The giant Golden version of the Optimus sword seems like an ideal weapon for a combiner to me.
I've not got a good enough look at the packaging yet - but if they were not so dangerous looking i'd be wondering if they were licensed as they are covered in hologram like stickers and look licensed (or good at faking looking licensed). I wish someone had done the Optimus Sword from TF Prime in metal - just because it's a nice sword.
Perhaps I'll buy one of the idiotically sized hammers and give it to TFC "Starcats" Dinoking or someone else who looks like they'd hit people with giant yellow hammers for fun.

They're technically 19.99 a piece, but would probably be closer to 42.00 together.

If HasBLO was smart and used Takara's Calibur mould, this thing would fly off the shelves. Instead, this thing is going to rot.

we have two new Transformers The Last Knight toy ads! One is for the Latin American region, showing off the new Titan Changers, and one featuring Mega One Step Changer Dragonstorm! The Titan Changer commercial shows the Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron toys, while Dragonstorm shows his new UV light gimmick. Check both out below!

TLK TRU Exclusive Optimus Prime Mission to Cybertron! Earth truck Prime is actually better than I remember. Pick out more details with paint and he's be pretty great. He does a lot for such a small mold, but those feet and that backpack make him almost unposable. But the protoform mold.... I love. A lot. Pod mode is neat, and bot mode is super detailed and posable. And this is the best deco yet.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on July 16th, 2017 @ 6:46pm CDT
Anyone who don't have either molds should consider this set. At the very least when it's on sale/clearance.

Still looking for anything remotely wave 2. Need Sqweeks, Megs, and Hound.
I need to find deluxe Megs so bad. Can't find him around here.
Scorn and Nitro are also on pre-order through TFsource, so I am safe with those 2, makes me happy
