Treachery joins a whole new size class with Core Class Starscream!  Check out my review and gallery of this fun little figure that is hitting stores now.

The second wave of Core Class Kingdom figures are hitting shelves now in the United States.  Part of that wave is the leader of the Decepticons himself, Megatron!  Check out my review and gallery of this new release.

Over the past couple of weeks some teasers for a figure that is reported as Kingdom Galvatron have been popping up online here and there. In the past couple days however much clearer photos showing the entire figure have popped up online. While I do believe these represent the (rumored) Leader Class figure, no official reveal has been done yet so until then do take this news with a grain of salt. The latest photos come via @seasalt99 on Instagram who appears to have gotten an early in hand sample of the figure.

This afternoon two images have suddenly exploded online (so much so that I cannot even figure out where they originally came from).  These two pics reportedly feature the upcoming Kingdom Galvatron figure!  Assuming these images are what they appear to be, Galvatron is heavily based on his G1 animated appearance.  His "crown" shaped helmet, angled chest area and orange cannon are all signature Galvatron design elements.  For a bit of fun, he appears to have additional blasters that are based on the ship Unicron gave to the Decepticons in the 1986 animated film!  Check out

The awesome DaimChoc Reports has posted clear stock photography of the third wave of Deluxe Netflix figures that have already begun hitting some Walmarts around the United States! These show off some of the beautiful deco on the figures. Oddly, there has not yet been any official announcement of these figures and they were not posted during yesterday's Walmart/Hasbro Pulse event. News credit goes to DaimChoc Reports.

With an emphasis on articulation, sculpting and accessories, Transformers: R.E.D. (Robot Enhanced Design) continues the tradition of non-transforming figures from the past such as Heroes of Cybertron.  Primarily a Wal-Mart exclusive line, these were also made available via Hasbro Pulse.
