Hot on the heals of the sighting in Australia, we now have photographic evidence that Transformers: War for Cybertron - SIEGE Wave 2 Voyager Class Starscream and Soundwave are in the wild at U.S. retail stores! Seibertron.com member and site moderator Rodimus Prime found the pair at his local Walmart in Albany, Georgia. He took a snap shot of the two new Voyager Class figures on the shelf. Take a look below!
The hunt is on! Will you be adding SIEGE Starscream and Soundwave to your collections? Remember, Starscream will be followed up with a repaint into Thundercracker in SIEGE Voyager Wave 4, and previous leaks have indicated a special release of Skywarp to be determined. Soundwave may also be getting a black repaint as his reincarnated form of Soundblaster if the rumors surrounding a "35th Anniversay" edition of select figures is to be believed. We also previously reported on an English language review of SIEGE Voayger Class Soundwave HERE, along with the original Australian sighting of these figures. Tell us your plans for the hunt in the comments below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!
We have amazing news for all those who just could not wait to get their hands on Transformers Studio Series 38 Optimus Prime, the one from the Bumblebee film with the more G1 aesthetic. It has been spotted, along with his wavemate Rampage at a Walmart in Florida. The image was posted on Reddit as proof. The toys are priced at $28.96 USD each. They were due out in April, so this is one month early. We wish you US fans all the best in tracking this sought after Optimus Prime toy down.
With War For Cybertron: Siege's second wave steadily marching into stores, we have a new video review for Voyager Class Soundwave! Sent to us by our fellow Seibertronian Maverick Prime and coming from newcomer reviewer Grim Trigger on Youtube, the video goes into considerable detail regarding the figure's detailing in both modes, as well as an intervening step-by-step demonstration of the figure's transformation sequence. Grim Trigger also brings the figure into comparison with his predecessors, Siege Megatron, Hound, Sideswipe and Ultra Magnus, as well as a Marvel Legends Ant Man figure, and admittedly bizarre choice for a size comparison. Unfortunately, Trigger neglects to showcase Soundwave's hidden Lamp-mode, though he does mention it briefly while discussing the vehicle mode.
The video is provided below, so be sure to take a look!
In related news, Soundwave and his fellow Wave 2 Voyager Starscream have both been sighted in Australian retail! Found at a Toyworld in the Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre in Melbourne, Victoria by Ozformers member jroam and shared on the Ozformers Facebook profile, the Decepticon duo were sighted alongside various Wave 1 figures, so it appears these newcomers are only trickling out as of now. If you live in the area, the hunt appears to be on!
As always, be sure to share your finds in your areas sightings forum, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news and reviews.
With Studio Series keeping its flame alive in the hearts of fans, we have exciting news for all those among us still entranced with the line. Courtesy of fellow Seibertronian Fc203, we have word that the deluxe class figures from Wave 6 of Studio Series, being Cogman, Car Mode Shatter and Constructicon Scrapmetal, have been spotted today in Pheonix, Arizona! They all sell for the expected $19.99, minus tax, though their Voyager wavemates seem to have not been packed in yet. Regardless, the hunt is on for those invested.

Thanks to a post on Ozformers' Facebook page we have some confirmation of pricepoints on Transformers toylines that will be (or are) available for sale this year in Australia. Hasbro's official suggested retail pricing is as follows, though as the post states, various retailers look to be more expensive than others:
KMart looks to have the lowest pricing as of now, so that might be a good starting point if there's one near you in your corner of Australia.

Say what you want about the Bumblebee toyline but the toys were at least on shelves when the movie was out and now every single toy has been accounted for before the film comes out on Blu Ray April 2nd. A few toys have come out since the film was released in theatres like Nitro Series Dropkick and Blitzwing and the Mission Vision toys and fellow Seibertronian newsie D-Max has found the only ones still unacounted for at brick and mortar: Transformers Bumblebee Evergon Igniters Power Plus Series Ironhide and Soundwave. While he only found Ironhide, we know that the more coveted Soundwave is in the same wave and was probably bought on sight by someone else who loved that van mode. You can see the case distribution below. While they were available at Target.com, this is the first time we hear about them being found in stores. These toys were found at Target, Altoona, Pennsylvania. Ironhide was $14.99.
1x TRA MV6 IGNITERS PWR PLUS OPTIMUS PRIME
1x TRA MV6 IGNITERS PWR PLUS BUMBLEBEE
1x TRA MV6 ENERGON IGNTR PWR PLUS STINGRAY (ironhide or soundwave)
1x TRA MV6 ENERGON IGNTR PWR PLUS INFANTRY (ironhide or soundwave)
It's not everyday you walk into a store and find a toy you never even knew was coming if you are a fan living in this age of constant information. But it happened. When walking in the Transformers aisle at my local Toysrus in Montreal Canada, there was a whole new area of shelf space dedicated to the Bumblebee Test Track, a toy that was never brought to anyone's attention before. This is a figure 8 track for young kids to race radio controlled Bumblebee cars. It comes with Bumblebee both in his Beetle mode and Camaro mode. The price was $44.99 CAD (a little over $30 USD). If this interests you or your kids, you might want to stop by your local big box store since it being found in one place in North America means it is shipping out to all retailers.
You can see images of the product below along with the product listing from Toysrus.ca.

Thanks to the keen eye of fellow Seibetronian Prismartyr, we have new sightings for several Bumblebee-series figures. Found at a Big W in Erina, New South Wales in Australia, the figures found include Energon Igniters Power Series Ratchet and Nitro Series Blitzwing and Dropkick, though Dropkick was not photographed.
Astute readers will recall the memorable discovery of Ratchet prior to a reveal from Hasbro late last year in the US, so it appears the figure is finally seeing better distribution among foreign markets.
As always, be sure to be neighborly and report your sightings of any of these figures in your location’s sightings forum and be sure to stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news and reviews.
Several Americans got their hands on the most wanted figure of the year so far, Transformers Studio Series SS 38 Optimus Prime, from the Bumblebee movie. This is a complex voyager class figure featuring Optimus in his new more G1 inspired design as seen in the Bumblebee movie. This means the shipping date has passed and it can appear anywhere, anytime from now.
For now, it has appeared in comic book stores, like Fantastic Collectibles in North Carolina, and, more nationally, those who preordered from Entertainment Earth are receiving their shipments. Matthewrex on our boards has shared his experiecne getting this toy as well as some images. We also have more images from the Play with Photography Toy Blog.

Really impressive figure. Haven't opened Rampage yet, but Optimus looks great. His left leg is a little loose but I put a little nail topcoat in the joint and it helped.
Included a box shot. Considering this was just solicited for "April 1"... it sure got here quite early! April fools?

Just got done transforming him to alt mode and back. Definitely a bit more complicated than the WFC: Siege Optimus. I actually got a bit stuck and had to retrace my steps, etc. Some of the pieces (namely in the legs) don't snap as snugly/securely as I'd prefer, but overall I'm still really impressed. I think his Alt mode actually looks really great, and manages to be larger than Siege Optimus - ditto for his robot mode.
I think this is a great mix of live action / G1 Prime. Up until this I thought Siege Prime might have been my favorite in a while - but something about this Bumblebee version is really doing it for me!
Thanks to Seibertron himself, we have the first sighting of the third wave of Transformers Cyberverse Action Attackers One Step Changers at US Retail! This wave consists of the previously reviewed Megatron, Optimus Prime, Prowl and Bumblebee. These differ from the previous releases as they follow on with the attack gimmick of the larger classes.
These were found at Target in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
What do you think of these? Do you think these are a step in the right direction for this size class? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!
