Via
Hobbybase on Facebook, we have a look at another trio of Legion class Transformers toys which are being released on the generic "Transformers" backer cards. The original wave of these toys consisting of Bumblebee, Starscream and Optimus Prime were released at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores - we anticipate this new assortment might find a similar release.
The trio of figures in this latest assortment are Megatron, who uses the Universe Legends Generation 2 tank Megatron figure; Grimlock, who is a redeco of Beast Hunters Legion Rippersnapper (but NOT the same redeco that will be a Walmart exclusive); and Strafe, a blue redeco of Beast Hunters Legion Windrazor.
As mentioned, we expect these three figures to appear in stores like Family Dollar down the line - be sure to keep it right here for any future news on these three figures.

Rumor time! 2005 Board member hanypa is reporting a new listing Transformer toys from TakaraTomy. The toys are identified by "QT" which we're guessing means "Quick Transformation". This could potentially be Takara's line of
Age of Extinction One Step Changers. However, some of the listings like "Fairlady Prowl", Countach Lambor and "86 Rodimus" could indicate this is something else entirely, or just One Step Changers with
G1 decos ala Prowl.
Here's the listings and release dates:
QT-01 Optimus Prime
QT-02 Bumblebee
QT-03 Lockdown
QT-04 Crosshairs
QT-05 Countach Lambor
QT-06 Fairlady Z Prowl
QT-07 86 Rodimus
QT-08 Copen Bumble
1 through 6 are to be released on 11-22-14 and 7 & 8 will be released on 12-13-14. Take it as a rumor for now and sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Good news for everyone anticipating the next Masterpiece Seeker release of Sunstorm,
Toys R Us Canada currently has an active order listing on their website. The website listing has a shipping date estimate of August 8, which could also bode well for US residents as the US release won't be far behind (or earlier perhaps?).
Be sure to use our
