We have some big news coming out of our friends up north! We have confirmation that the Power of the Primes Leader Class figures have been spotted at a Toys R Us In Broussard, Quebec! While all the other size classes have been spotted, the leader class figures have been notoriously hard to find all around the world. We have some photographic proof, as Well, of the wave 1 assortment (Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime) on store shelves, from Seibertron reader Daniel on Facebook. Daniel also spotted the wave 1 Prime Masters and Voyager Starscream and Grimlock at the same Toys R Us store! Get hunting, Canadian fans, and let us know down below what you find!

With the ending of any Transformers toyline, there's always the worry that line-ending waves (and any new figures in said waves) will be hard to find or in some cases, won't be found at all. In the particular case of the Robots in Disguise line, the final waves of Legion-class figures, distribution has been spotty at best, but thankfully, seems to be making it to more and more markets. Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Prismartyr, we can report that Legion-class Twinferno has made his way down under to Australia! He sent us some in-package and in-hand images featuring the tiny dragon-headed/handed Autobot, found at a Coles store in Lisarow, New South Wales.







Have any of you found Twinferno or other line-ending figures in your corners of the world? If so, please take a moment to note your sightings here, on our sightings page, and in your own, local, sightings forums!

Friend to the site, Scottimus Prime, found the deluxes, primes masters and voyagers from Transformers Power of the Primes at a Lake Grove Toysrus in Long Island, New York. This is the first sighting for Voyagers Starscream and Grimlock at US brick and mortar retail as well as the first worldwide sighting for the Prime Masters at brick and mortar retail. The Wave 1 Prime Masters include Liege Maximo and Skullgrin Decoy Armor, Micronus and Cloudburst Decoy Armor, as well as Vector Prime and Metalhawk Decoy Armor. You can read more about all upcoming waves that we know of here.

Regarding the voyagers, we also have a pictorial review of Starscream for those who want to know more about the figure before purchasing. And there might be some hesitation because this news also shows us the price these voyagers are going for: $29.99 USD. This is the MSRP price jump indicated by Hasbro in their official product descriptions. The Prime Masters also show that price jump in comparison to Titan Masters, where they are $5.99 USD, so one dollar more. The Deluxes however, show a price of $16.99 which is less than the $19.99 MSRP. You can see all MSRPs per class here.

These toys are also listed on the Toysrus website but not currently available. We did place a screenshot below to show the prices of each class. These are the hottest toys right now among the fan community so please post your findings in the sightings section and sightings forum.

The Robots in Disguise wave of warrior class figures including Thermidor and Bludgeon has finally hit the US, half a year after this final wave hit the rest of the world. It is great news though since final waves usually suffer from lack of proper distribution due to retailers preferring to stock a new line.

This particular sighting comes from MegaX Master who found Robots in Disguise Thermidor and Bludgeon at Walmart in Rifle Colorado.
For those curious to see what these toys are all about, or for those hesitant about purchasing these, we have a pictorial review of Bludgeon and Thermidor.

There is only one of each of these in every case of eight figures. These two have been highly anticipated by Americans who really hoped not to have to resort to the secondary market so please post your findings in the sightings section and sightings forum.

New Transformers Power of the Primes Artwork Appearing on In Store Toy Displays

We had seen some new Power of the Primes artwork three months ago with no idea as to where it would be found or what it was done for. We knew it wasn't the box art nor for cards since this artwork had several characters rather than just the one. As it turns out, that new artwork was meant for the in store displays. This was not obvious at first since it is only found on the sides of a black cardboard center aisle display which Walmart tends to cover up when forming center aisle squares (which you can see in the first image below).

However, your intrepid editor used all his might and pushed aside the neighboring cardboard shelving to see the artwork on the sides. One side features Optimus Primal while the other features Optimus Prime and both are surrounded by Prime Masters. So far, these displays have only been found in Canada where all wave one legends, deluxe and voyager class toys from Power of the Primes have been found for $12.97, $19.97, and $29.97 respectively. What is odd is that this is unlike the circular in store display Hasbro previously showed that they had designed specifically for this line.

A really cool aspect of this artwork are the 15 Prime symbols found at the edge. Yes, you read that right, 15. We only know the first twelve, which Jelze GoldRabbit list below:

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:From top to bottom, they are:

Megatronus
Vector Prime
Prima
Alchemist Prime
Quintus Prime
Amalgamous Prime
Nexus Prime
Solus Prime
Onyx Prime
Liege Maximo
Micronus
Alpha Trion

... and the last three are unknown for now. I do suspect the bottom one is for The Arisen as it looks like the face of Optimus Prime.

Transformers Power of the Primes Legends Slash Variant Found Using Movie Autobot Logo

Ever since 2007, when Hasbro changed the style of the Autobot and Decepticon logos for the live action films, these slightly different symbols have been found on non movie toys, like certain versions of Masterpiece Skywarp, which can be seen below.
More than that, it seems both symbols are used interchangeably at times in the assembly line when it comes to tampographs. As can be seen in the image of Generations Payload, one has the G1 autobot insignia (with larger eyes) while the other has the movie version of the insignia. This difference creates variants in the market.
We now have a new victim in the Power of the Primes line with legends Slash. Even amongst toys found in the very same case, Slash has been found with both a G1 and Movie version of the autobot insignia. There are images below to show the comparison. From in hand images of the figure found online, it seems the version with the movie insignia is the rarer of the two.
It is currently unknown if Slash is the only one to have insignia variants such as these in Power of the Primes so check our toys and get back to us if you see that yours is using the wrong insignia.

While the United States was the first to see any Power of the Primes figures at retail, they seem to be spreading out to retail in various parts of the world, as evidenced by the recent finding of the line in Singapore and then in Canada. Now, we can add Malaysia to that list! Seibertronian Jasmon has sent us pictures of his haul, found at a ToysЯUs at Queensbay Mall in Bayan Lepas, Malaysia. Jasmon found the Dinobots Grimlock, Swoop and Slag Slug at the price of R149.90 and R89.90, respectively, which works out to US $36.75 and $22.04. He also sent us some in-hand pictures of the trio!








Still no Leader Rodimus Prime or Optimus Prime to be seen, though. If you find those figures, please shoot us an email at sightings@seibertron.com, and be sure to list your own sightings on our sightings page and in your local sightings forums to help out your fellow collectors. Happy hunting, everyone!
