Thanks to Seibertronian Sentinel_Primal, we were directed to a tweet from the account @not_on_Twitta, which shows a listing in Target's systems for a Runabout figure in the War for Cybertron: Earthrise line. The listing shows that this figure has the Earthrise E-41 designation.



While no other information is available at this time, a Runabout figure would almost assuredly be a recolor of the Earthrise Runamuck figure, which is due out this late Summer or early Fall in the northern hemisphere, and would complete the Battlecharger duo.

What do you think of this news? Was this figure inevitable? A happy surprise? Let us know below!

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Nemesis Primal, we've been alerted to a post on the official Transformers Facebook page regarding the upcoming Fan First Friday event. This coming Friday, July 17th at 6:30am PST/9:30am EST/2:30pm BST/11:30pm AUS, Hasbro will have a lot of new stuff revealed on Pulse. Check out the announcement below and click on the image to be taken to Hasbro's page, which states that more than TEN new figures are to be revealed.




Since SDCC won't be happening in person this year, it's a pretty safe guess that at least one figure will be one intended for that convention. So what do you think these reveals are going to be? Speculate away below!

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, -WonkoTheSane-, has let us now that a timer has appeared on Walmart.com. The timer is apparently counting down to Walmart Collector Con, when they are set to announce 70 exclusive collectibles. Transformers War for Cybertron is one of the brands advertised as taking part in the event, meaning we could be looking at more Walmart exclusive Transformers in top of ones already like Re-issue G1 Blaster, Re-issue G1 Astrotrain and Transformers 35th Anniversary Cel Shaded Megatron.



This comes after Walmart.com listed the limited edition Back to the Future x Transformers crossover toy, Gigawatt, which sold out before many could even get their hands on it, yet saw eBay flooded with preorders at excruciating high prices.

What exclusives do you think we'll see this coming Friday? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

New Transformers Studio Series Listings Leaked

Greetings Seibertronians! From LegoTFGuy over at fellow Transformers website, TFW2005, we've learned that some new potential Studio Series listings has leaked from the Walmart computer systems. The listings all follow a theme, as previously reported here, of being more '86 animated movie cast members.

The new listings is as follows:



TRA GEN SS DLX KUP $18.84
UPC 63050997823 Item 582921129
TRA GEN SS JAZZ $18.84
UPC 63050997833 Item 582921131
TRA GEN SS BLURR $18.84
UPC 63050997828 Item 582921135

Also listed are Jolt, Gnaw, Dino and Bumblebee.

While it could be argued that Jazz may be a redeco of his earlier Studio Series release, the same can not be said for Kup or Blurr who never appeared in the live action movies and featured heavily within the animated movie which celebrates it's 35th anniversary next year. This also hints that the previously seen Cyclonus may be destined for Studio Series, and not Earthrise as previously thought.

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Autobot N, for sharing this on our boards.

What do you think of this? Looking forward to seeing these as part of the Studio Series line? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks for to a tip off from fellow Seibertron user, Nemesis Primal, we've learned that a possible image of Earthrise Dirge has turned up on the Chinese social media site Weibo. The image, shared by user @tfjianggqi, shows a possible Dirge, though missing an arm. He looks very similar to the previously shared Earthrise Thrust.



What do you think of this? Think this is another cone head ready to join the ranks of the Earthrise Decepticons? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

And the (unofficial) reveals keep coming! Thanks to Nemesis Primal and scotty_P here at Seibertron, we have pictures of the upcoming Generations Selects Greasepit! Numbered as WFC GS-12, Greasepit is a recolor and repaint of Siege Ironworks. Greasepit takes his name from the original Micromaster Greasepit from G1, though this toy is a combination of the character and the Micromaster base he came with.









Ready to add another Decepticon to your collection? Like Exhaust in the previous news story, we don't know exactly when these figures will be officially revealed or released, but with these packaged samples from an Ebay auction showing up, we're likely to know soon.

Transformers Generations Selects Decepticon Exhaust Revealed

Thanks to Seibertronian LinaNui, we have confirmation of a figure we first reported on back in April. Via an eBay auction, we can see Generations Selects Exhaust packaged in his robot mode, along with his instructions and box, confirming that he will be released as WFC GS-11 in the Selects line. He is a retool of Siege Wheeljack (as expected), and comes with the same missile launcher weapon.










The original figure that would be known as "Marlboor Wheeljack" was a Diaclone figure that was later redecoed and retooled into Wheeljack for the original G1 toyline. It was known as "Marlboor Wheeljack" for decades until the retool of Masterpiece Wheeljack was announced and given the name "Exhaust" in 2015.



The only previous figure of Exhaust went through a lot of controversy (due to his original deco being too close to the trademarks and deco for Marlboro cigarettes) and wasn't able to be officially imported into the U.S., due to U.S. laws forbidding the advertising of tobacco products on items that could even potentially be marketed towards children.



Selects Exhaust looks to still retain his red and white color scheme, though any sponsor decals in car mode aren't able to be seen. Interestingly, though packaged as a Decepticon, he has an interesting faction logo, likely that of the "Mercenary" faction that was rumored to be a part of the War for Cybertron Trilogy.



So, history lesson aside, what do you think of this (unofficial) reveal? Are you excited to be able to add this to your collection in the future? While these images come from an Ebay auction, it's likely that with the recent pictures of Hubcap we've seen, we'll likely see an official reveal of Exhaust soon, along with a release date.

Transformers RED Series Arcee, Bumblebee, Soundwave and Cheetor Possibly Coming

So far this year is giving us an Arcee release in every line. We got one in Studio Series, Generations, MP and Cyberverse. So, with this new Transformers R.E.D. Series (see what they did there?), we just had to get another Arcee. And so that's what we'll get. Transformers fan LegoTFGuy used his Walmart scanner to see if they could find other listings under this new RED Series and found quite a few. Of course, we've seen Optimus Prime and Megatron, and we have further confirmation of the Soundwave we already had a listing of, but they found even more such as the afore mentionned Arcee, Bumblebee (Big surprise!) and Cheetor. They are all 19.87.

A few extra points, we did have a previous listing for a Generations Cheetor, so it is unclear if this is that same toy or not (the ID numbers are not the same). Also, the Arcee is listed as "Prime Arcee" and these are only inferred to be part of the RED series because they are bundled together in Walmart's system. Though Bumblebee does have the clear RED moniker. And Bumblebee being the same price means either they will be in scale and you are paying the same for half a figure OR he will also be 6 inches and scale will not be a factor in this line.

First Look at Possible Generations Selects IDW Centurion (Brunt Redeco)

When Transformers Siege Brunt was first revealed, it was pretty clear the robot mode design was taken directly from the Centurion design from the IDW Stormbringer comic. So that seemed not only like an obvious redeco but also like the character this design was intended for. But we never got an IDW Centurion ... until now... maybe. I say maybe because while this looks like grey plastic, there have been customs of this same character done already so we never know until an official release. But hey, this looks the part for sure.

You can compare below with a shot from the comic. This was posted on Instagram along with the notion of it being for the Generations Selects line.
