This one really comes out of nowhere and is something I have never seen before. You know claw machines, the ones where you have a insert some coins for your chance to grab a plushie or toy using a claw (aka, the CLAW), well the ones I have always seen usually have random prizes inside, it's never thematic. However, a fan found a Transformers themed claw machine in Victoria Gardens shopping centre in Richmond, Australia. It uses Emiliano Santalucia's Evergreen Transformers designs both in the artwork and in the plushies up for grabs. These plushies have never been shown, found or revealed elsewhere. They include Bumblebee, Megatron and Optimus in both their modes. The fan who found this is JoemasterII who posted it on the TFW2005 message boards. You can see the pic they posted below:

Siege Shockwave's cyclopean eye has finally been spotted in Target at U.S retail by Twitter user @Jwilson011895 in Georgetown, Central Texas. Joining earlier sightings his wave-mates Battle Masters Firedrive, Lionizer and Blowpipe with Deluxe Sideswipe, Cog, Hound, Skytread and Voyagers Optimus Prime and Megatron. This also means Ultra Magnus is out in the wild, too, being Shockwave's Autobot Leader-Class wave-mate. Mirrored below is the image from @Jwilson011895's Twitter, whilst the original post can be found here.



Have you also snagged Shockwave at retail yet (and not posted a sighting), has he eluded your hunt or did you snatch one up via an online retailer? Let us know below and discuss the current Transformers War For Cybertron: Siege range on our own Energon Pub forums here on Seibertron.com.

We saw a red redeco of Nitro Speed series (aka Legion class) Bumblebee recently, but we did not get a good look at it. We couldn't even confirm that it was indeed "Cliffjumper" written on the packaging. Well now we can. Friend to the site Prismartyr gave us a nice little scoop with our best look at the figure yet. They managed to spot a Speed series Cliffjumper in the Big W at Tuggerah, New South Wales, Australia today.

We now see that there is no retooling from the yellow VW Speed series Bumblebee, it is just a redeco. While Cliffjumper does indeed share the same body as Bumblebee in the film, it is Bee's Cybertronian body he has and not the VW body. Still, the theme of having similar bodies is there and better yet this becomes a fun homage to the red Bumblebee toy released in G1.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Barricade.it we have our first look and sighting of a new die cast 4 pack for the Bumblebee Movie from Simba Dickie. The set was found at a Leclerc-CONAD store in Teramo, Italy for €17.90. The pack features both a Hot Wheels-size Volkswagen Beetle version of Bumblebee from the movie that shares his name as well as a figure of Bee from the same movie along with a similarly styled pair of Bees based on his The Last Knight incarnation. All in a nice display box. The VW Bee appears to be the same as the one we saw in November sold on its own. It is unknown if the figures are also die cast or just the cars.











So what do you think? Like non-transforming die cast cars? Think Jada Toys does it better? Sound off in the Energon Pub!

Attention all UK Transformer fans, Siege Megatron has been sighted in Symths Toys Superstore, so far there's no other sign of his wave mate Optimus Prime or of the other size classes yet but now that he's appeared it's a fair assumption that the rest of them will now trickle down. He was priced at £23.99 and there is a listing for him and Optimus Prime on the Symths website here.

Here is Megatron in all his glory on the shelf. The sighting was made in Symths, Portrack Lane, Stockton on Tees. Picture taken by yours truly.



Happy hunting!

Many were hoping that the Botbots would be found in stores soon especially since it is easier not to score so many doubles when you can actually see what is inside the multipack.

Well every single release has now hit Canada at Toysrus stores. The 5 packs are $12.99 and the 8 packs are $19.99 CAD. There is currently a Buy One Get One 50% off which includes all Transformers at Toysrus (you may need to remind the cashier since them arriving after the begining of the sale may require some workaround) making these even cheaper. As you will see in the images below, a lot of figures repeat eachother in the packs so there is a guide available showing which packs to by to get the entire set withthe least doubles possible. You can find that guide here.









This is great news to many who were hoping to use these as stocking stuffers this Christmas. If you want to see these toys in detail before you buy them, we have a gallery for every single character here.

Transformers WFC Siege Hits Multiple Retailers in Canada for all Size Classes Except Leader

While the US has been having fun with new generations line toy for a little while (as per usual), Siege has finally hit Canada all at once. Here is a quick rundown of where certain classes are found in various retailers:

Walmart: New Siege display (picture below) for Deluxes and Voyagers. These are apart from the Transformers section, in a central aisle.
Toysrus: While the Battle Masters were already reported, they now have the Micromasters, Deluxes and Voyager classes.
EB Games: They have the Micromaster two packs.

The prices are the same across the board with the Micromasters at $12.99, Deluxes at $29.99 and Voyagers at $39.99. These are all in Canadian dollars. Like in the US, the MSRP is made to match the movie figures price jump we saw last year with The Last Knight. Of course, there are always deals and right now at Toysrus there is a BOGO 50% off sale. So buying two Siege deluxes gives you 25% off each figure.
