Transformers Club Skalor Revealed

Over at the TFCC, you can now see Skalor! Photos and a file card were posted, so now you can see what you'll presumably be able to order shortly. It's not bad!

Hasbro Transformers Comic-Con PR, Prices, Artbook

Over at Marketwatch is a big press release with all the exclusives and prices you can expect at Hasbro's Comic-Con store. Of note is an 80-page artbook filled with photos and doodads from the designers, which sounds pretty great. It also lists Nemesis Prime (Universe) as being $24.99 and Titanium Series Skywarp at $19.99.

Hasbro.com Reveals New Animated Activators

Transformers.com has revealed three new animated activators toys. They are:
Lockdown
Optimus Prime
Ratchet

They all look pretty decent, take a look!

Transformers Universe Heavy Load Available

On my toy hunting rounds, I noticed Target stores are also getting in the new Transformers Universe Voyager assortments. If your store is resetting, be sure to keep an eye out for Heavy Load and others.

Target Markdowns Continue: Movie!

If you want some, but not all, Transformers movie toys go to Target. Select products are 50% off at some stores, and I've noticed a lot of Real Gear Robots. Happy hunting! The stores are resetting so new items are hitting as you read this.

Transformers Animated Season 1 DVD Non-News

Awesome site TVShowsOnDVD.com has posted the back cover art for season one of Transformers: Animated on DVD. The good news: it looks nice.

They posted word of extras, and apparently, there really aren't any. So I guess if you were hoping for commentaries or interviews, the powers that be decided it wasn't worth doing. Boo, hiss. I was actually very much looking forward to hearing from the animation team and writers on this series, seeing as it's peppered with amazing voice actors, with some entertaining stories to boot.

Transformers Animated Bonus Packs Coming

Chinese auction site Taobao has up two auctions you will want to see, presumably for Q4 exclusives. Toys "R" Us packaged "super value" sets of Leader Class Megatron with Activator Starscream and Leader Class Bulkhead with Activator Bumblebee are coming... but when? Were I a betting man, I'd say October or November. I'd also bet on them being $39.99 or less. As such, I'd say if you haven't yet bought the leader figures, it might be worth your while to wait. (I were going to buy Megatron, but now I'm holding off. Free seems like a good price for Activators.)

Kmart Exclusive Mini-Cons: Packaged on eBay

Feast your eyes on this Kmart Exclusive Mini-Cons Pack coming this Fall. The packaging is really gorgeous, and this is the first Kmart exclusive in recent memory (or perhaps ever) from Hasbro to feature a sticker advertising the product as such. I typically don't swoon over a box, but wow. Yeah, this one's purty.

Toys "R" Us Canada Offering BOGO Animated Transformers

Over at The Allspark, user Cybersnark mentioned that his local Toys "R" Us is having a buy-one-get-one-free offer on animated Transformers toys. It does not appear such a promotion is currently running in the USA.

Transformers BinalTech Arcee Gallery

TF08.net posted a big gallery of Arcee in vehicle mode, complete with a shot of the head. Which, if you didn't know, confirms she's just a white Decepticharge repaint. Still, kinda neat.

Unicron Returns to Transformers Universe

Fans of the giant planet eating robot, rejoice! Unicron is apparently coming back for a third repackaging, although some claim the toy showing up in the box on eBay isn't final. (We think it is.) Apparently a Toys "R" Us exclusive, this beast is probably going to appear some time this Fall. Want to know and see more? See the auction on eBay, or see the report on TFW2005.

Kay-Bee Toys gets Universe Deluxes

The new Classics 2.0/Universe line of Transformers is, shockingly, hitting KB Toys. Each is $12.99, and includes Prowl, Sunstreaker, and Tankor. Happy hunting!

McDonalds McAnimated McTransformers McWebsite

While I heard they would be available on Saturday, McDonalds posted this web site showing the six Animated toys and their transformations. Releases include Megatron, Lugnut, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Starscream, and Ratchet. The toys include a coupon for $5 off a $19.99 purchase on the full-sized Hasbro toys, which would make buying a Happy Meal and throwing away the food a worthwhile purchase.
