This is what Chuck has to say on Bravo Class Grimlock:
Chuckdawg1999 wrote:To my surprise, Hasbro downscaled their Wave 1 Alpha Class Grimlock to a pocket-friendly size. Transformation is identical to the larger scaled figure but as to be expected, paint details are lost and the small dino arms are just molded in. Bravo Class Grimlock makes for the perfect desk toy and is fun to have.

Also the figure looks okay, but it certainly doesn't make me say want to say "Bravo!", more like "Cool, ...I guess?"
Posted by Stryker P28 on February 7th, 2019 @ 3:37pm CST
The small ones are 6 while the large ones are 10-12 at family dollar

I don't own any of these toys so I can't speak on terms of their quality but they're just so hollow. I guess it makes sense since they're only a few bucks.

the plastic are surprisingly solid and sturdy, should be able to withstand children's rough play, and all the joints are tight and nice. But yeah, when you get a deluxe sized figure for $5 and voyager sized one for $10, i don't think we can really expect too much at that price points.

10-12$ is pretty cheap for a figure that big.

They're that much? Huh. I was always under the impression they were 7 to 8.

Wait they cost HOW MUCH?
Whoa, you don't get much for that either, apparently.

Considering they are cheaper and bigger then their more advanced brethren in the Siege and Studio Series line, I think those that are on that budget level will be thankful.

The characters presented are Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee, all who were set to release in May 2019, though none have shown up yet. While there is no set price, you think these toys are worth it for kids? Tell us your general thoughts in the Pub forums below.

They were 19.99 CAD, meaning probably closer to 15 USD if ever they are found in the US. it is unknown if they are exclusive to Walmart in Canada, but that is the first place these were found. You can see images of the toys along with their transformation schemes below.

Seen at Walmart: A mom is handling the G1 Optimus. "This look neat! My kid will love it. How much is it? 70$!!! WTF?" The mom then put it back in disgust.

Dohohoho!
The funniest thing is "leader" is accepted in the French language and changing it to "chef" was unnecessary.

Up first is the smallest class, the Bravo class, which up until now had featured Grimlock, Starscream, Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee. The newest figure to join this class is Ratchet, who is also in his evergreen design and hues very close to his recent Cyberverse Spark Armor toy. He will be available along with the rest of the previously released figures.
Next is the Alpha class, which featured Grimlock, Optimus, Bumblebee, and Megatron. The newest addition to this class is Soundwave, who also hues close to a recent Cyberverse toy, in this case the Warrior class figure. He will also be available with his fellow previously released figures.
And finally, we have the Titan changer, the larger figures that transform in a couple of steps. Previous members of the class included Megatron, Bumblebee, and Optimus, and they are now joined by Grimlock and Starscream.
All of the new figures are most likely on their way to stores now, so keep an eye out for these latest Authentics figures, and let us know if you spot them!

Quantum Surge wrote:I know these Authentics figures should have lowered expectations, and some of them look decent, but Titan Grimlock looks embarrasing while Soundwave has a puny visor. Still, these would be neat for a stop motion where a universe of goofy G1 characters exists.
"Puny visor" seems like a pretty minor nitpick for what is otherwise a decent-looking Soundwave. As for Grimlock, Titan Changers are a Leader-sized figure for around half the price of a deluxe, so yeah, your expectations might be too high.

And Walgreens, though usually only during the holidays. And yes, Dollar General as well.

I'm waiting on them to release Bravo Alpha Bravo and if that figure is as good as I expect, I'll upgrade to Alpha Alpha Bravo!chuckdawg1999 wrote:These look fantastic, is it too early to start naming toy of the year? I'm still waiting on an Alpha Starscream.

I'm sure dollar tree sightings would interest people. Could you take pics next time to show which of these authentics do they have there and what are the prices?

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Authentics Soundwave is a great neo-G1 update using the Evergreen design. Transformation is smooth, simple and satisfying. Soundwave is a great for those looking for a more involved version of the Cyberverse figure.

If I come across it in the wild, I may pick him up.
Posted by noctorro on April 19th, 2020 @ 6:04am CDT
He looks good, I like the Authentics line, hope they do more.
And hopefully they make all the Cyberverse cartoon figures!!!

While these may not be figures on most fans' want list, it is good to know what's out there and we can all live vicariously through Chuck to see if we are indeed missing out on these, or not. Enjoy!
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Ratchet is a fun little figure and the perfect introduction to the character. Transformation is interesting with a sliding gimmick that adds quite a bit of heft to the figure namely in the legs. Definitely worth a pick-up to add to your Authentics collection.

That's another line I hear in relation to the Authentics line. There's a lot of eyes on the product but that doesn't necessarily translate into sales.

They were 19.99 CAD, 15 USD. The previous wave was exclusive to Walmart in Canada, so this will probably be the same. You can see images of the toys along with their transformation schemes below.
If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

And those are way more interesting than the good ol' Rescue Bots for sure.
Having known, I'd have told my friend on the phone who was shopping for his neightbor's young child.

Are these sold anywhere in America? Never seen them in stores here, seems like something you'd see at Walgreens, Big Lots, or Dollar General.

I sent an e-mail to the staff and didn't get any conclusive responses.
