ReAction Wave Teased, Including G1 Prototype Unicron
ReAction G2 Grimlock and toy-color Galvatron are hitting stores, and their cardbacks tease the next wave. It includes a Quintesson, a Sharkticon, cartoon Reflector, Cyclonus, Ultra Magnus and Wreck-Gar. The headliner is a six-inch version of the unreleased G1 prototype Unicron, complete with gun. One host calls it the most wonderful thing he has ever seen, and he expects to buy multiple Sharkticons. Don thinks the new molds set up a Killing Jar box set. [Source: RMaster007 on Twitter]
AndaSeat Transformers Gaming Chairs
AndaSeat releases Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron gaming chairs. One host already owns an AndaSeat chair and calls it very comfortable for close to $400. Another calls dibs if AndaSeat ever offers RFC a review unit. [Source: AndaSeat]
Transformers Retro Lunch Box and Bottle
Surreal Entertainment offers a retro Transformers tin lunch box with a bottle the listing never calls a Thermos. One host has already preordered one, though he wishes it were plastic. [Source: TFW2005]
TakaraTomy reveals Movie Masterpiece Black Convoy, or Nemesis Prime, for late March 2023 at 24,000 yen with tax. One host is pretty sure he will skip it. [Source: TakaraTomy Mall]
Trainbot Suiken Shown, Seizan and Kaen Teased
A TakaraTomy promo video shows Masterpiece Suiken and silhouettes Seizan and Kaen. One host wanted a new Raiden for years, but not this one. Another already sent his second Shouki back, and a third discovers he forgot preordering MP-48+ Dark Amber Leo Prime. [Source: Autobase Aichi]
PulseCon Transformers Content Outline
Hasbro’s PulseCon outline names next year’s line Legacy Evolution, teases a new partnership and promises the final Shattered Glass reveal. The crew expects that reveal to be Soundwave. One host is taking the day off for PulseCon on September 30. [Source: Hasbro Pulse on Instagram]
Leaked Images of Magnificus, Crosshairs and Hot Rod
Leaked photos show Magnificus on the Studio Series Perceptor mold, and one host wishes it used the Titans Return mold. Studio Series Crosshairs is probably the best version yet, but the crew is lukewarm. The Studio Series The Last Knight Hot Rod looks much better than the earlier Walmart version that ended up at Ollie’s. [Source: Autobase Aichi]
What We Got This Week
Matt got Wreckers Springer from Diecast for his birthday and likes it far more in hand than in photos. He drove two hours to Target for Elita-1 and loves how her limbs are integral to the car. His white whale finally arrived: Delta Magnus in Powered Convoy colors. He has never loved this mold, but he loves these colors and is glad to have it.
Chris got Delta Magnus and likes the way Discord member Nightsword modified theirs with blue parts and paint. He found a better Legacy Knock Out with no mold or paint problems. He also replaced his Kingdom Tigatron, which yellowed, with one from Ollie’s. He explains TFW2005 users tracked early Motormaster batches yellowing most, though nobody knows the cause.
Rob got Velocitron Road Rocket and Cosmos from Brian. Road Rocket’s front end comes off too easily, but Cosmos feels as good in hand as Classics Bumblebee. He also got Delta Magnus and may put the spare Shattered Glass head on Siege Ultra Magnus.
Don got Elita-1, who has wobbly hips but holds together. He found Studio Series 86 Wheelie at Target for $8.49 and a second Wildrider as a spare. His Delta Magnus box crushed as he opened it.
Diecast got Knock Out, whose tabs fought him until Chris explained the groove under the roof hinge. He also found Minerva at Target. He finds the nylon ankles on this mold floppy.
Brian got Delta Magnus and Tarantulas, who is way nicer than he expected. He also received a sealed Japanese Beast Wars Convoy release with DVDs, which he will keep boxed.
