Most of Amazon's exclusive Transformers Wreckers line, known as the Legacy Wreck N' Rule line, has been shipped to those who preordered them. Not all fans have picked them up and for those waiting to see some reviews, well we have that for you now. Most of the reviews below are from fellow Seibertronians like Chuckdawg and Thundertron so we thank you for creating this content and reaching out to us. If you want more review from them, they post reviews regularly in our Review Forum.
Transformers Legacy Metroplex was recently found in the US. This is a toy that many fans are not sure to buy and it is the first Titan Class figure not to represent something tied to the G1 era. So a review could come in handy. We have one for you from our fellow Seibertronian Lore Keeper, enjoy!

There are lots of fears amongst fans regarding possible missing out on Cosmos. As of now, the toys is out of preorders on the US Walmart website and Pulse. Add to that the fact that he is shortpacked in the deluxe case and it's easy to see how panic could ensure. But it seems Hasbro has an answer to that. We have confirmation from Smith's toys that the deluxe cases they have received have only cosmos packed. We've seen this before with many other deluxes like TR Mindwipe, which end up putting a lot more product on the market and it's a practice Hasbro uses now and again. And it's not just Cosmos getting a solid box but Override and Hauler as well. It's impossible to know if Walmart US will receive those same solid cases but the good news is we know it's a current distribution option from Hasbro for fulfilling orders. And regardless of what ultimately happens, there being solid cases adds to the global supply removing the rarity of said figure which keeps secondary market prices down once the initial rush is over.
Here is what the retailer told us directly:
Yes, we received solid cases of each figure (Cosmos, Override and Hauler). However, depending on where you are that might be different. Some retailers might have just ordered case assortments rather than just individual figures
Also, since this figure is out in UK now, Prime vs Prime got his hands on it and sent us a message asking us to post his review, so here it is:
Amazon has shipped out quite a few new Transformer toy releases recently. One of those is Arcee which has yet to be found at brick and mortar. The fact that Amazon had her in stock and ready to ship means that this wave of toys have landed in the US and should be found at other US retailers soon. Here is a review from fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999
chuckdawg1999 wrote:When Studio Series 86 Arcee was originally announced, many fans thought it would be a slight repaint of the current Earthrise mold that has been re-released in the Kingdom line. Well SS86 Arcee is a heavy retool of the older 30th-anniversary mold that results in the best G1 Arcee we've gotten to date, it's by no means perfect though. Transformation is a bit more involved than you would think, especially when you realize that having enough clearance in vehicle mode is a difference of millimeters. Car mode is the closest to the G1 animation I've seen, I'm very impressed with how the designers were able to pull it off. Unfortunately, there is still a sizable backpack to deal with in robot mode, but the joints are tight enough for now to handle it. There are plenty of better Arcee toys, but if you're looking for a pure G1 experience this is the best you can do.
While not a physical retail sighting, Amazon is one of the biggest Transformers toy retailers in the world, so we would remiss not mentioning that the latest voyager class Studio Figures are now in stock and shipping. You will find links below along with a video review of Galvatron from Chuckdawg and Emgo. Enjoy!
While not available at US retail yet, Transformers Legacy Jhiaxus has been found online through e-bay vendors and even at collector retail in Singapore and Toysrus in Taiwan by Nimama. He and the Seige Soundwave rerelease are what make up wave 2 for voyagers. We have a few reviews from fellow Seibertronians to share with you.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Every so often Hasbro will go deep and pull out a character that really hasn't had representation in toy form, in Legacy there giving this treatment to Jhiaxus. Created during the G2 comic era, Jhiaxus has seen representation in toy form, but those were repaints/retools of other characters. This Voyager Class release is the best representation of Jhiaxus from the comics we've seen. Transformation is very intuitive with a few interesting bits, I was quite pleased to see that the figure didn't have a fake cockpit. If you're a fan of the G2 era then Jhiaxus is a must-purchase.
The second wave of Legacy core class figures is going to be hitting US retail soon, they were even briefly available on Amazon.com. While you wait to find them in stores, here is a review of Shockwave from fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:I've been anticipating getting Shockwave since the figure was first announced. If you're familiar with the Siege version of Shockwave then its vehicle mode will be familiar. I do like the included landing strut that helps keep the ship balanced and can be folded down at a 90-degree angle from the main fuselage to form a handle for proper swooshing. Transformation is fun with the dropping hips resulting in a staggered looking ship mode. Shockwave is a fun little figure and a great addition to the Core Class line.
Thanks to our standard source of early images, PrimevsPrime, we have new in hand images of the upcoming Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-13 Blackout. Blackout is a brand new mold which captures the look of the very first Transformer ever seen in live action on the big screen, and transforms into his helicopter mode complete with Scorponok mini-figure. This figure also includes blast effects for his guns, as well as the detachable section of the rotor to finally give him a movie accurate weapon while maintaining his back rotors.
This figure should be available for preorder soon, presumably from Target.
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below.
Transformers Authentics bravo class Arcee has been found t Dollar General locations in the US since the begining of June. In case you saw it and were not sure if it was worth your hard earned coin or not, we have 2 video reviews for you below. One is from Alex Reynard and the other from Chuck, who also writes about the toy, enjoy!
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Authentics Arcee is a mixed bag. On the one hand, it's a neat figure that transforms without being a shell former, and it has some good articulation. On the other hand, due to the nature of Authentics, there are some tolerance issues with the legs and arms coming together, while the articulation could be a bit more functional. In general, the plastic doesn't feel as good as it could be. If you're looking for a simple Arcee then the Authentics version might be worth the look.
Looks like there are lots of fans wanting that Exosuit Spike from the Studio Series 86 line. Fans have been able to get him on Amazon.com since the week-end but the availability has been sporadic. One moment it's available and the other it isn't. But we still wanted to let you know and give you the link so you can check it when you want and have it at your side.
Also, we have a review from fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg in case you wanted to get a good idea at what you were getting.
