We have product codes for Deluxe Class Road Rage and the yet-to-be-seen Voyager Class Tigatron.

Via a Target store listing, Road Rage is indeed set to be an exclusive. Her DPCI code (her internal Target inventory code, shown below) brings up a listing for only her figure, at the new Deluxe price point of $22.99. Normally, our source tells us, giving a DPCI code will bring up all the figures of a size class. For instance, the DPCI for Kingdom Deluxe Class figures would bring up a somewhat generic listing for "Transformers WFC Deluxe". Search for a character name instead, Arcee for example, and you'd find her listing, but she'd have the same DPCI code as the earlier "WFC Deluxe". Road Rage, however, has a code that brings up a listing for her and her only, similarly to how Earthrise Runabout (also a previous Target exclusive) was listed. This indicates that she'll be shipping in solid cases- assuming she's sold in stores, and not as an online exclusive like Leader Class T-Wrecks.

The other listing shows us that not only is Tigatron coming in a future Wave, but that he'll also be a Voyager Class figure, and not a simple retool of the other Maximal cat, Cheetor. Searching for his specific name brings up his listing, but the DPCI attached shows him to not only be sold at the Voyager price point, but to also be part of a regular Voyager Class assortment, as it shows a specific shelf location assigned to Voyager Class figures.

So what do you think, Seibertronians? Are you excited to add these two figures to your collection when they do show up? It's not known at this time when either figure will be released, only that their existence is confirmed with these listings being provided. Feel free to speculate below on any possible wavemates for Tigatron, and how you think Road Rage will be available.

Fellow Seibertronian EvasionModeBumblebee, among others, alerted us of new images showing the upcoming deluxe Studio Series Jolt and ROTF Sideswipe. These deluxes are going to be in the same wave as the previously revealed SS 86 Gnaw figure. Jolt is a completely new mold while Sideswipe is a retool of the DOTM SIdeswipe figure we got a few years ago. The molding differences are all in the alt mode since he is no longer a convertible here.

These should be coming out in a couple of months and their preorders were already available when the full waves became available to purchase a month ago on a few sites like BBTS and Entertainment Earth. However, both these toys are called "TBA" in those full wave listings. We don't now when Hasbro will choose to reveal them officially but it should be soon or else we will see these at retail before the reveal.

Thanks to Seibertronian Mindmaster for pointing us to the Twitter account of @morgan_dfx, who recently posted pictures of a possible Bumblebee Movie Thrust. This time, he's posted an in-box picture of the upcoming Kingdom Deluxe Class Red Alert!



From this picture, we can see that Red Alert will be based on the upcoming Amazon exclusive earth-mode Sideswipe. Like his regular mold mate, Red Alert will also be a store exclusive, to the Walgreens drugstore chain, at least in the U.S., like Siege Ratchet and Earthrise Bluestreak. It remains to be seen how his distribution outside the U.S. will he handled.

What do you think of this reveal? Excited to add another LamBro to your collection? Let us know your thoughts, and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest Transformers news!

Thanks to Seibertronian EvasionModeBumblebee, we were pointed in the direction of Twitter user @morgan_dfx, who posted pictures of a haul of new Kingdom Deluxes, along with Studio Series Wreck-Gar and what appears to be the rumored Bumblebee Movie Starscream repaint of Thrust! This figure appears to be a straight repaint of Starscream, with his color scheme of greens and white homaging Armada Thrust, rather than the maroon and black of G1 Thrust.





It still hasn't been revealed what figure is coming in the wave with Wreck Gar, though this figure seems a good bet.

What do you think about this figure being potentially released? Well you be adding it to your Fall of Cybertron display if it turns out to be legitimate? Let us know what you think below!

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to the efforts of fellow Seibertron user, Mindmaster, we may have our first look at the Transformers Kingdom Deluxe Class version of Waspinator!





The pictures were shared on Twitter by user @QueenStodge.

If this is indeed the upcoming Deluxe Class figure, then this will be the third go over for Waspinator since his original Beast Wars figure, 25 years ago. He did recieve a figure back in the Thrilling 30 line. Aside from them (which were based on Beast Wars) the character appeared as a Deluxe toy in the Animated toyline.

What do you think of this? Do you think it's real?

Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Transformers Kingdom Road Rage Revealed

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Mindmaster, we can share with you what appears to be the rumored-to-be-upcoming redeco and retool of Kingdom Tracks, his mold-mate Road Rage! Coming from DaimChoc Reports on Facebook, Road Rage appears to be a straight redeco of Tracks with a new head based on her Masterpiece figure.



The original Road Rage figure and character were created in 2002 as the first addition to G1 characters since the original series ended in the early 90s. She was a red redeco of the Tracks figure, and released in a two-pack with Crosscut, a redeco of G1 Skids.

It's rumored that she's going to be an addition to the Kingdom line, though in what capacity and released through what channel is still to be determined, should this seemingly credible rumor be officially confirmed. Though, with Leader Class T-Wrecks being released at Australian retail, despite no announcement from Hasbro, don't be surprised if Road Rage shows up somewhere out of the blue with no official announcement.

What do you think, Seibertronians? Are you excited for a potential new Road Rage figure? How does she compare to Tracks for you? Let us know in the comments below!

Rumours Abound: New Transformers Legacy Line and Studio Series Priorities in 2022

The reveals today may have been rather lackluster to many who were hoping to see more of what we know is coming out soon (see fun meme image below). Well, a friend to the TF community has given fans a consolation prize by revealing quite a bit of what is coming out in 2022. As was asked in the past, we will not divulge the source but it is from the similar channels where previous leaks were acquired. This info being beyond known listings means it is not set in stone. For now, just take it as a rumour with the source being the same channel as previous leaks.

Studio Series is really switching gears next year. We already have codes for some of the Bumblebee movie Cybertron scene characters and that's the direction it will be taking. So it is said that it we will be getting all the other characters we saw in that opening scene. And remember, we are also getting toys for the next live action film in 2022 as well. So at the moment, the only character from Bay's first trilogy to have a 2022 release for Studio Series is Dark of the Moon Bumblebee. So yes, we'd be getting Bumblebee movie Arcee and Soundwave before Hatchet, the Fallen and the Twins, which at this point do not have a planned release.

The core class will be coming to the Studio Series line and one of the first core class figures will be Bumblebee movie Ravage. However, once again there is currently no indication that this class will have bots from the Bay directed films. As with the Kingdom line, this class will not only be for smaller characters but any character that Hasbro wants available at a lower price point.

An upcoming Transformers toyline is called Transformers Legacy. It will have Prime characters, along with other eras. Characters rumoured for that line right now are deluxe Prime Arcee and Stunticon Breakdown.

Transformers Generations Selects Artfire Revealed

After being a rumor for some time, we finally have confirmation, in the plastic, of the existence of the (obvious) repaint of Kingdom Inferno into Artfire! Via In Demand Toys' Factbook page (and thanks to Arturo C and Shiningstar7896 for pointing us in that direction) we have five pictures that show off the Japanese-only Targetmaster in a couple of nice action shots, as well as his vehicle mode and a an accessory shot which reveals that not only does he come with his Targetmaster partner Nightstick, a recolor of Siege Firebolt Firedrive, but two sets of blast effects, as well as the other accessories that came with Inferno.













For those who aren't aware, Artfire is a character who originated in the Japanese G1 continuity. His toy was released in 1987 as repaint of Inferno in the Headmasters toyline. This will be his first toy to be released outside of Japan, though a release date isn't mentioned or confirmed yet. Might we find out this coming Friday, at Hasbro's Fan First Friday event focusing on Transformers? Let us know what you think of Artfire, and whether or not you'll be picking him up when he's released.

Masterpiece Skyfire / Jetfire Prototype and Render of Masterpiece Trainbot Shouki Revealed

Thanks to Seibertronian Sabrblade alerting us to this news, we have new Masterpiece news to share with you! TFW2005 boards member masabon has shared a photo of two upcoming figures from the latest Generations book, which was released yesterday in Japan. In that photo, we can see a grey prototype of Masterpiece Skyfire (or possibly called Jetfire) standing next to MP-10 Optimus Prime, showing that he'll be the biggest Masterpiece figure to date....



...possibly, until Masterpiece Raiden is released! First teased back in late 2019, this is the first image of the 'bot that turns into the upper torso of Raiden, a G1 Japanese-only combiner. Raiden has a similar origin as Devastator, being a redecoed and slightly retooled version of a Diaclone group of toys (though these turned into trains rather than construction vehicles). This image of Shouki is only a render so far, rather than a physical prototype model of the Trainbot leader. This does prove, however, that the first Masterpiece combiner is coming along, though how soon until we see a physical model of Shouki (or any other Trainbot) is anyone's guess.

Additionally, given the stark size difference in the very cartoon-accurate Skyfire to MP-10, could we see the first Masterpiece figure that crosses the $500 price barrier? Until we know anything about a release date for him, it's hard to tell.

What do you think of this new image? Are you excited for either release? Going to stick with Commander Class Siege Jetfire in your collection? Let us know what you think below!

List of Studio Series Toys coming in 2022 Including more 86 and more Bumblebee Movie "G1" Bots

So we aren't even at half the year yet but we now know which toys are due out in stores in the first quarter of 2022. This would be what people call "wave 1" of a given year and it may start appearing at the tail end of this year, we never know. As previously confirmed, Hasbro is mixing 86 bots with live action bots.

Here is the breakdown:

Deluxe:
Tra Gen Studio series Deluxe TF6 Brawn
UPC: 195166158516

Tra Gen Studio series deluxe TF6 Ratchet
UPC: 195166158532

Tra Gen studio series deluxe 86 Perceptor
UPC: 195166158556

Tra Gen studio series deluxe TF6 Wheeljack
UPC: 195166160016

Voyagers:
Tra Gen Studio series voyager TF6 Soundwave
UPC: 195166153438

Tra Gen Studio series voyager 86 Junkyard
UPC: 195166158525

LEADER:
Tra Gen studio series leader 86 King Starscream cape
UPC: 195166153421

TF6 refers to the Bumblebee movie, so it would be toys based on those G1-ish designs. Junkyard would be using the Wreck Gar mold that is not revealed yet. Starscream is rumoured to be a retool of Voyager Earthrise Starscream with extra accessories like a cape. So it would be another case of a voyager with extra accessories being sold at the leader price point.

We thank Mr Chaos for those UPC numbers and Autobot N for letting us know.
