Greetings Seibertronians! Enjoy the RED reveals from Pulsecon this past weekend? Well to tide you over till Prime Arcee hits Walmart's shelves, fellow Seibertron user and toy reviewer, Chuckdawg1999, has created a video review showing off all the wave 1 releases of the line. This includes G1 versions of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Soundwave. Be warned though as his thoughts may make you think twice.
This is what Chuck has to say about these:
chuckdawg1999 wrote:If the RED Series was made by any other company it would be a fantastic line of articulated robot figures. The problem is the RED Series is made by Hasbro, the company that set the standard of what articulated 6" scale figures should be. In that case, the first three RED Series figures fall short of what they should be. Yes, they're fun, but they're just not what I was expecting and probably not what you were.
We also have another review from Toy Shiz showing that these are their own new scale.
What do you think of his review? Do you own these figures? Do you agree? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

"Soft rubberry plastics".
Thanks Chuck. Now I know and I can finally say that's what I expected.

Not surprised, this seems to be in line with other reviews I've seen.
Chuck- was there any indication of slipperyness or a "film" on the plastic of these figures? Also be fortunate your Prime had straight antenna, I've seen some bent in package.

To be fair, don't all of Hasbro's 6" figures have that plastic?
So far nothing in the RED line looks as good as Prime Arcee, hope they don't screw her up too much for the final figure.
Cheetor, colors aside, that face sculpt is kinda awful with those long slit eyes. Really should have opened them more. Hopefully when they repaint it into Tigatron they do some new sculpting. But how will Kingdom Cheetor look with this gun?
Really bummed out that the line has no sense of scale when all of the other 6" lines do. No scale, no BAF, no license fees, same price and a really half hearted attempt with this line. I'll probably just get Optimus and Megatron and call it good.

It's just that I have FF8 Eidolons PTSD over action figures made out all of rubbery plastics.

None whatsoever. The plastic felt good, just not Hasbro 6" figure good. I think there might be some confusion. The plastic used for the RED figures is NOT soft and rubbery. It's firm, just not the quality we should expect.

I’ve been on the fence with these guys, but seeing how short they are takes me firmly on the “not getting into it” side.
Aside from a few characters that may pop up, I’ll be steering clear of this line.

I am considering cancelling my preorder through Walmart for Megatron and Soundwave...
That $40 is going to be nice to have for either SS86 figures, or maybe even the new MP Starscream.

I would say that's a good idea. If you're still curious about them you can always double back later and get them at a sale price.

Yeah I have a feeling that they won't be that difficult to find once available.
And I'd feel a lot better if I could get each for somewhere around $12-$15.
Preorder has been canceled!

Not sure I'd trust the walmart pre-orders at this point anyway. All of the netflix figures were spotted at stores long before pre-orders were filled (and there are still outstanding wave 1 preorders). And people who pre-ordered the Wave 2 Earthrise figures are receiving beauty products and other things like that instead of the actual toys

I've had a theory that I just can't shake, Walmart, Target, etc. will always make sure their brick and mortar stores are stocked before their online sites because they live off that foot traffic.

Just watched a RED Soundwave review... I will be tempted to get these if I see them in a store.
The more I've thought about it, the more I'm okay with what some consider a lack of articulation;
I don't play with my figures... Especially in this case, it is 150% a display piece.
I don't need them positioned with one leg kicked forward, or doing the splits, or doing some sort of yoga/gymnastics pose... They'll be standing, and yeah, maybe in a semi-dynamic stance, but nothing crazy.
I'll still wait until they go on sale, but I have a feeling I'll end up with both Soundwave and Megatron.

My local Walmart have something new and it's the RED figures.
They are 30$can, meaning the same price as a regular deluxe.
I'll wait for more interesting characters.

I bought 2 of each this week!!
They look soooo good out of box. Whoever designed them were obviously fans of the G1 cartoon.
The faces and body proportions are spot on.. or at least how I remember them from rose tinted nostalgia glasses.
The plastic isn't hard plastic, it's pretty nice quality. It reminds me of the Good Smile Nendoroids. It's a tactile rubbery plastic. Quite good IMO.
I had to go to 2 Walmarts in Toronto to find the figures. Not sure how many Walmart ordered, but I nabbed the remaining ones on the shelves.
One thing that is to note.. The quality is a bit flimsy. These are made in Vietnam, so the quality control isn't so good. Megatron's ab crunch is broken, Optimus's head was loose when I took it out of box and Sound Wave's arm didn't lift up (that was exchanged).
But other than that, these are super rare finds. I'm usually a Masterpiece fan due to the good representation of G1 designs. These are also quite good!

They've been on pre-order since Hasbro officially announced them at Pulsecon a month ago.
Still haven't seen any RED figures locally.

Greetings Seibertronians! We have word that Jtprime17 over at TFW2005.com has provided the community with some new listings regarding the Transformers R.E.D series! The new listings concern a Optimus Primal (in his Beast Wars Season 1 form, to match the forthcoming Cheetor, also in his season 1 form). The other listing however is for a Redeco Megatron which could be referring to a different paint scheme on the already released G1 Megatron. As there is no product descriptions on the listings, the fandom will have to imagine what it will look like for now.
The listings along with the EAN numbers are as follows:
R.E.D “Redeco” Megatron -$19.87
EAN: 5010993789016
Product Number: F0743
R.E.D BW Optimus Primal – $19.87
EAN: 5010993789023
Product Number: F0742
Don't forget to check out the latest Transformers Kingdom Galleries by site owner Seibertron! Voyager Class Optimus Primal is awaiting his turn in the photographers gaze as we speak!
What do you think Redeco Megatron will look like? Will you be adding Optimus Primal to your shelves to stand with his transforming counterparts? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Marvel Megatron is also proto-cartoon Megatron and early toy commercial Megatron (among other things) so there's no reason why it can't be done.

Looks to be a Soundwave from the Authentics budget line judging by the label (you can see a prime on the peg behind him). Appears to be a fixed mold toy, so I'm not sure the comparison is apt

My Walmart set them in their own segmented cardboard tray on a shelf rather than on pegs.Emerje wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Authentics didn't have any non-transforming toys.
It's a Titan Warrior/Titan Guardian.
AKA the reason why Walmarts in America don't sell Battle Masters or Micromasters, gotta save four pegs for these same figures they've been selling since Transformers Prime!

That's how my local stores did it last year (when they weren't selling Leaders), during the post-Christmas reset they moved them to the pegs.

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to fellow Seibertron users, Shiningstar7896, and blackeyedprime, we've learned that thanks to UK toy stockists InDemandToys, and Zavvi; that two more entries have been revealed for the Transformers R.E.D line! The characters are Starscream and Bumblebee, both in their Generation 1 incarnations.
Starscream
Bumblebee
As you can see, Starscream comes with the accessories to recreate his coronation scene from the 1986 Transformers movie!
Preorders are open on both figures, retailing for the UK price of £20.99. They are expected June 2021.
What do you think of these figures? Will you be picking these up? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

The RED series would be a good time make toys out of some designs from the Bumblebee movie that did not transform,like Soundwave or Shockwave.
Day 346 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Yes! This is the best news ever! We don't get nearly enough Starscream and Bumblebee toys! Hasbro has answered our prayers during this draught of Starscreams and Bumblebees! #blessed

Why weathering all of a sudden? Hasbro still hasn't learn that their designers/QC can't do weathering proper on their TF toys?
As saturated as SS & BBB are, gotta say, these looks leagues better than the first wave. I do want this BBB if I can't get my hands on the Netflix ER BBB.

That Starscream look great but even this Screamers fanboy have no need for it. HOWEVER, that Bee is a MUST. That's a Bee that will be relatively be MP scale, 100% toon accurate, no gribbles and bulls, completely affordable. No need for MP-45 when this RED Bee exist.

This would be a great line to get some of the IDW designs that don't translate well into transforming toys. There'd be no need to drop $50+ on a third party offering.

I’d probably get Starscream, but I know if I get Starscream I’d feel compelled to get the rest of them... guess it’ll be one of those “if I see him” deals.
Don’t need another Bumblebee, much less a non-transforming one.

I keep thinking that this RED toyline is pretty much modern day action masters. And as such, i think it would be neat if we see some action master characters like rad, jackpot, or slicer getting a figure in this line.

The 3D renders make Starscream and Bumblebee look OK. But we know by now, that the actual figures will be made using el-cheapo soft rubber-plastic. So the actual products won't look nearly this crisp or vivid.
