New TRANSFORMERS Toys Announced at Hasbro PulseCon
This last weekend was Hasbro PulseCon and Hasbro revealed a bunch of new products for fans of some of the franchises. Transformers fans have a number of new action figures to collect. The first wave of toys for War for Cybertron: Kingdom including toys based on the amazing cartoon of my childhood, Beast Wars. The Core Class Optimus Prime, Rattrap, and Vertebreak will be available for $9.99. Meanwhile, the Deluxe Cheetor, Blackarachnia, Warpath, and Paleotrex Fossilizer figures will be $19.99; the Voyager Cyclonus will be $29.99; and the Leader Megatron (Beast) will cost $49.99. These figures look like so much fun. All of these figures will be available on January 1 and pre-orders are live now over at Hasbro Pulse and Walmart.
Amazon Shoppers are also in for a treat. The online retail giant will be the exclusive seller of the Galactic Odyssey Autobot Clones 2-Pack. This pack includes the Autobots Fastlane and Cloudraker as well as 1 of 5 planet cards. Fastlane transforms into a racecar and Cloudraker becomes a jet. This 2-pack will launch on December 1 for $39.99, but pre-orders are live now!
Next, we’ll talk about the Walmart exclusives. Releasing on January 1, 2021 for $19.99, two new Transformers R.E.D. figures will launch: Prime Arcee and Beast Wars Cheetor. R.E.D. stands for Robot Enhanced Design and each figure stands at 6 inches tall. The catch is that these figures do not transform, but are highly poseable and “the most screen accurate versions” of the characters for fans.
Finally, Hasbro Pulse has a couple of exclusives as well. There’s the Deluxe War Breakdown and Vehicon 2-pack which includes War Breakdown is an armored truck while Vehicon is a jet. Also included are Zamu and Igu who convert into weapons for the main robots. The set costs $39.99 and will launch on October 10. For $34.99, fans can grab the Voyager Hades Megatron featuring Hades and Gora II which transform into weapons for Megatron to wield. The set will be available on October 10. Pre-orders for both sets are live now.
