The G1 show colours Thundercracker has been found at US Walmarts for a little while now but few people have reported it in, maybe thinking it was old news. But for those unaware that it's been found, well now you know. For those curious, we have a review below showing the big differences in deco when comparing to the previous G1 reissue. This toy comes with no stickers and every detail is painted instead.
Transformers core class Studio Series 86 Ironhide was found today at a Gamestop in the province of Quebec by me. There is a picture of the sighting below. We also have reviews from our community members Thundertron and Chuckdawg, who even gives us a quick written review, that you can see below. It is unclear who else is being released with this Ironhide since Gamestop either gets solid cases or just certain items within a case per store.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:It was expected that a figure like Core Class Ironhide would be released following the release of Core Class Ratchet, as both share the same mold since the start of the franchise. Ironhide has a new head and a pelvic region that closely resembles the animation models. While there were some issues with panel fitting on my copy, overall, Ironhide is a decent figure that complements the other G1 Core Class figures.
Wave 2 of the Earthspark toyline is getting a haphazard release, with different classes being made available at different times in different places. So fans have had access to this Megatron and Thrash for a good while, getting them online, and this past week we've been getting reports of them being found at brick and mortar stores. They have been found in Walmarts in several states, like Ohio and Maryland.
We have reviews below to see if they these are up your alley.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Finally, Earthspark Megatron is here to complete the wave 01 Warrior Class figures from the Earthspark line. I have to say that this figure is just as good if not a little better than the Deluxe Class version of Megatron. Transformation is simple and the weapon gimmick doesn't interfere with the figure at all. There's a surprisingly large amount of articulation, including waist swivel and ankle pivot. I highly recommend this version of Megatron especially if you're passing on the Deluxe Class version.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Of all the Warrior Class figures I've looked at for the Earthspark collection, Terran Thrash stands out as the best. The transformation process is seamless and unlike any other motorcycle transformation, I've seen before. Similar to the other Warrior Class toys, the weapon feature does not obstruct the robot's movements and enhances the overall experience of the toy. If you are considering purchasing just one Warrior Class figure from Earthspark, Thrash should be your top choice.
Hasbro literally flipped the script on the idea of one steps in the Transformers Rise of the Beasts line with the idea of "energon bands". It's a different type of transformation where elements of the toy become all loose and reconnect into the alt mode (and vice versa). While a new take on the fast conversion idea, it removes any articulation one steps may have had and adds the need to lock in, which young kids (those targeted with these) may find not as obvious. These have been out for a month in the US but have just shown up in Canadian Walmarts. For those curious about how exactly this gimmick works, we have video reviews for you below.
Lots of fans are getting the new Transformers Studio Series Gamer Edition voyager Optimus Prime in hand and enjoying it. For those who do not have it yet, fans have been finding it at Gamestop stores in Canada and in the US. The toy is also available in online stores, even the Seibertron store. We thank Scorpulator for the sighting in Canada.
We also have a review of the toy for those who want to know as much as possible about it.
While the US got wave 1 of the Rise of the Beasts Titan Changers, where only Cheetor is new, Canadian Walmarts got wave 2 and skipped wave 1. Further proof that all these toys were ready months ago and all waves are coming in at once. Wave 2 has Scourge and Cheetor, which makes it so that we can share with you a review for both toys. While Scourge doesn't seem to be a toy one would recommend to even a child, the Cheetor toy is good for what it is, which is a very large toy under $20. The Cheetah mode itself is quite impressive for how cohesive it looks with lots of molded details.
It's been quiet on the Earthrise front ever since the line was launched all at once. Well, we are now in the year's second quarter and wave 2 is rolling out. Thanks to TF fans Nicholas, we now know that the wave 2 deluxes are out in the US. Optimus Prime and Shockwave were fund at a Walmart in the East Coast, the sighting was posted on the Botposing Facebook page along with an in hand image from Darren. Unlike wave 1, these are not fully new molds. Optimus Prime is a partial of Cyberverse Optimus while Shockwave is a straight redeco. Luckily though, Shockwave is not essential for the build a figure since he comes with an alternate robot arm.
Toysrus stores across the Canadian nation have waited until the 10th to put the Rise of the Beasts toys on shelves, since that is the official release date. Below you will see images of what they had, which includes Battle Masters, Battle Changers (the wave including Mirage), Beast Combiners, Nerf gun Optimus, Smash and Change figures and role play masks.
And for people wanting to see what else was at that same Toysrus, here you go:
Fellow Seibertronian Whirlkick has found some Rise of the Beasts toys in the UK at Smyth's. You can read their report below. We also have reports of the 2 Beast Mode Bumblebee and Optimus toys out at Smyth's in Gillingham, first posted here by TFMJ where we can see them next to various other ROTB toys like the Smash Changers.
"The RoTB mainline figures are now available in different places the UK, such as Smyth's and The Entertainer. It seems the embargo date was April 10th so the floodgates have now opened!
The figures are showing as available on the Smyth's website, which includes figures like the mainline deluxes. When I was at Smyth's in Watford today, none of the figures were out on the shelves yet, as they hadn't yet allocated space for the new figures as there's so many of them and so little shelf space for Transformers. The UK community should keep an eye out for TF sales for non-ROTB figures at Smyth's!
I had to ask someone working there to get the figures from the back for me, which they did. I bought the mainline deluxe Bee and the Optimus/Chainclaw pack. I've included some photos, including a side by side of mainline Bee with SS Bee."
