Autobots

Discount chain Ollie's has posted its weekly flier and there are two Transformers items included! First is the (former) Target exclusive Seeker 4-Pack which would make fun "background" Seekers in your display. This set is $19.99 which is a lot cheaper than the original price of $49.99! For younger Transformers fans there are Rescue Bots figures on sale for $4.99 each (originally $9.99). If you have an Ollie's near you, go check it out!

In a surprise reveal (among many nowadays) Amazon has posted two listings for Cyber Battalion two packs. The Cyber Battalion was a sub-series of Generations figures released a few years ago that were based on G1 "Evergreen" style designs featuring classic characters such as Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream. It looks like a few of these figures will be returning in the form of two packs in Selects style packaging.

One of the more unique interpretations of Optimus Prime is the new Optimus Prime Jumbo Jet Wing Racer Playset! Now listed on Amazon and Walmart's sites, this figure features a large Optimus Prime who transforms into a Jumbo Jet along with a small Bumblebee figure! Interestingly, the aesthetics of this figure firmly put it in the Rescue Bots world, but the packaging sports a Transformers logo devoid of any Rescue Bots branding. Check out the official product information and images below:

Rumors have swirled for months that Target would be carrying another Transformers exclusive following the recent release of T-Wrecks. Following the theme of "red" characters being released as Target exclusives, the next one will be Road Rage! Target has posted its listing for the figure but it is not yet available for pre-order.

Back in June, photos of Dinobot Adventures toys appeared online featuring redecos of Rescue Bots Dinobot-style figures as new versions of the classic Dinobots. Somewhere between June and now Hasbro has posted product listings for these figures to their web site including product descriptions. We also have the official name of this sub-line of figures: "Dinobot Strikers"! These figures are listed with an MSRP of $4.99 each.

Over the past few months Hasbro Pulse has been carrying limited quantities of store exclusives such as Walmart's Netflix figures. Their most recent "shared" exclusive is Walgreens exclusive Red Alert! There was no previous official announcement for this figure but leaks have indicated this would be coming for months now.

Hasbro Pulse held a Fan First Friday event today. During this live stream, three new Studio Series 1986 figures were revealed: Perceptor, Starscream and Sweep! Perceptor is an all new figure while Starscream is a redeco of the Earthrise Starscream figure with "Coronation" gear including a cape and throne (bumping him up to Leader Class). Sweep is of course, a redeco of Scourge. You can watch the stream and check out official product descriptions and images below. I have also linked to the BigBadToyStore and Entertainment Earth pages for those items.

He may be grumpy but Huffer is also one of the smartest and powerful Autobots in Optimus Prime's crew!  Check out my review and gallery of Kingdom Huffer!
