Deluxe Class

Yesterday Hasbro Pulse and Amazon unleashed a new release in its "Golden Disk" Collection: Jackpot with Sights! Who you may ask? Jackpot was a G1 Action Master released at the end of that era. While the figure did not transform, it was clear form his design that he once could transform into a car. He was partnered with Sights, a bird-bot who transformed into his weapon. Now Jackpot has returned in a transformable body (a redeco/retool of Studio Series Jazz) with a redeco of Pteraxadon as Sights!

In a surprise drop, Amazon and Hasbro Pulse have posted pre-orders for a two pack featuring the first chapter of the "Golden Disk Collection". This two pack features redecos and retools of the Huffer/Pipes sculpt from Kingdom as Road Ranger and Puffer! Road Ranger is based on the Go-Bot homage from the e-Hobby set released in 2004.

This morning both Hasbro Pulse and Target launched their pre-orders for the newest in the Collaborative series of Transformers: Draculus! Based on the Universal Studios version of Dracula, this brings Transformers into "classic film" territory pre-dating the 80's!

Target's Fall Geek-Out Event started last week with Batman related items, now this week it's time for some new Transformers! First is the previously revealed Road Rage, a redeco and retool of Kingdom Tracks. The second figure revealed this morning is Draculus! Rumored back in early summer, Draculus is the next Collaborative figure featuring a crossover between the classic Dracula monster and Transformers.

Back in July, Hasbro revealed the Pulsecon exclusive "Decepticons Forever Ravage" set that will be available in November 2021. Now thanks to the folks at Dengeki Hobby has posted additional images of this set, with a focus on the two figures included. This gives us a good look at both the Beast Wars Ravage and the G1 reissue Ravage including their deco and weapons.

Takara Tomy Mall has posted its listing for Kingdom Red Alert, representing the character with his "Earth Mode". This figure was briefly available on Hasbro Pulse but sold out quickly and has already shipped. The wider release of the figure is supposed to come out at Walgreens stores in the United States, but there have not yet been any mass sightings reported.

Rumors have swirled for months that Target would be carrying another Transformers exclusive following the recent release of T-Wrecks. Following the theme of "red" characters being released as Target exclusives, the next one will be Road Rage! Target has posted its listing for the figure but it is not yet available for pre-order.

"Transmutate" was one of the best episodes of Beast Wars, offering a dramatic story that made a point about accepting others and the horrors of war.  Now the Transformers character who was the focus of that episode has been released as a Fossilizer figure in the Generations Selects line!  Check out my review and gallery of Transformers Selects Transmutate!
