Are you ready to start building your Transformers Combiner Wars Defensor? Fellow Seibertronian Cdavid3 is as he found the third wave of Combiner Wars deluxe figures. They were found in a Target in Fremont, CA. Wave 3 includes Protectobots Blades, Rook, First Aid and Streetwise which combine with Voyager Hot Spot to form Defensor.

Also spotted in the pictures is legends class Groove which also can combine with Defensor. Viper and Warpath can be found in legends wave 3 too. If you spot new Transformers in your neck of the woods, do like Cdavid3 did and use the Submit News link to let your fellow Seibertronians know.

Transformers Robots in Disguise (2015) Kre-O Sets have been spotted at retail in Walmart in Montreal, Canada, by yours truly.

The sets found were:

sideswipe roadway rundown



bumblebee disc demolisher



strongarm capture cruiser



underbite jepack takedown




These may have been spotted in the wild before, but no one contacted us to let us know. So please, if you see something that can potentially be front page news, please contact us with pictures.

On a kre-o side note, the battlechangers have also been found here for a while but since it was never posted yet, I thought I could also mention it here. Since these sets are no longer in the Transformer aisle, they can easily be missed and this is just a reminder that they are around.

Today, we have a sighting from me, Autobot032! I found these two Kre-O sets at Family Dollar in Ashtabula Ohio, one featuring Bumblebee and the other featuring Megatron!

Oddly enough, both Kreons make an appearance on the packaging, but there's no mention of them being included with their respective sets.

Both sets are filled with random pieces so you can make custom builds and seem to share the Megatron and Bumblebee color schemes, but it clearly states that pieces and colors may vary, so don't be surprised if it doesn't come as advertised.

Bumblebee features 77 pieces and Megatron's checks in at 88, both are priced at $5.00 each and are available now at Family Dollar stores.

Thanks to fellow fan, Eric John A. Cruz and Cybertron Philippines, we have some great news to share with you: Combiner Wars Wave 3 is hitting retailers in Asia! (This is good news for the rest of us, means it's just a few weeks until they hit the US and other world regions!) Mr. Cruz shared this good news with us on our Seibertron Facebook page, which you can see his post here.

The wave is due to be released on April 18th in the Philippines at various Toys R Us stores, which you can see in the image mirrored below:

Eric John A. Cruz > ‎Seibertron.com
Combiner Wars Voyagers, Deluxes and Legends wave 3 and Leader Class wave 2 will be distributed tomorrow, Saturday, April 18 at Toys R Us Robinsons Galleria (Metro Manila)

Since it's already the 18th in the Philippines, we have in hand images of Wave 3 to share with you, courtesy of Mr. Cruz!

Up first:
Leader Class Thundercracker (base mold is a heavily retooled Leader Class Jetfire, you can see him in our galleries)


Next:
Voyager Class Cyclonus (a redeco of Silverbolt, with a new head) and Hot Spot (a new mold!)


Followed by:
Deluxe Class Blades (a repaint of Alpha Bravo, with a new head), First Aid (A drastic reshelling/remold of Offroad), Rook (a brand new mold!) and Streetwise (Another drastic reshelling/remold of another figure, Dead End)


And last, but certainly not least:
Legends Class Groove (another new mold!), Warpath (a redeco of Generations Legends Megatron with a new head) and finally Viper (a redeco of Legends Powerglide in Decepticon/Cobra (G.I.Joe) color scheme!)


With them seeing release in the Asian region of the world, it's at least reasonable to assume that the April release date provided by BBTS is looking possible at this time, even though Amazon has them listed with a preorder date of June 15th. Chances are this is a special early release and June's the actual saturation release time frame, as soon as we know, you will!

The North American continent has been seeing the new Generations Combiner Wars Leader class Megatron for a little while, and its seems that Australia is also receiving its batches, too! Courtesy of Seibertron.com board admin Burn, we have confirmation of the Decepticon founder arriving down under without too much to wait compared to elsewhere in the world. Check out the image below, taken at a Toys'R'Us in Cairns, priced at AUS$ 89.99 (approx US $69) - and maybe join Australian fans in weeping over the retail price of MP Ultra Magnus, too (approx US $ 230).

Remember, to help out your fellow fans and collectors, make sure to flag any sighting of this or other toys in the regional forum boards here, and in our ever-growing database here!

Fellow Seibertron staffer, ScottyP shared a sighting with us, a Toys R Us sighting of Hyper Change/3-Step Robots In Disguise Optimus Prime. As you probably know by now, this has seen release across the country in various spots, but not at all retailers and not in every part of the country. This is our first official sighting of the figure and if it hadn't been for ScottyP we wouldn't have one to share, this is why we need your help to know what's been sighted. Please, as soon as possible, send your finds of brand new figures to sightings@seibertron.com and post in our sightings forum, here, so we can spread the word when new and hot items become available.

Here's what ScottyP had to share:

Hyper Change OP at a TRU in Raleigh, NC. $21.99 each.

Angry Birds Transformers Jenga Toy Single Packs Sighted at US Retail

Good evening fellow Seibertronians, I hope you're ready for some obscure new toy sightings. The Angry Birds Transformers Jenga single packs have been found at US retail, at an Ollie's Bargain Outlet in Raleigh, NC. Each set was marked at $4.99, and the assortment consists of Angry Birds versions of Galvatron, Lockdown, Soundwave, and Heatwave. Each set also includes some Jenga blocks to build up, run your bird into, or even destroy in a rampage.



Some of you may be wondering, "So what?" Well, while we previously reported how these had been sighted in Canada several months ago, no US sighting was ever reported, and the awfully high aftermarket prices had many assuming these were completely canceled for the US market. Alas, at least for those of us with an Ollie's nearby, "Market Six" has come through like an old reliable watchdog once again, saving us from the putrid husk of overpriced Amazon listings.

Remember, if you see a sighting out there that you think is way cool, there are several things you should do!

• If your sighting is news, or in other words, you think no one on Seibertron.com has posted a news story about anyone in your region (US, Canada, UK, Europe, Asia, wherever!) finding this toy or mechandise at retail, let us know at sightings@seibertron.com or news@seibertron.com. Be sure to let us know your username on the site, where you found it, how much it was, and include a picture if at all possible. Emailing the news staff is the only way to get magical "News Credit" points for your sightings!
• News or not, let your other local collectors know by posting about it in your State or Region's Sightings and Meet-Ups thread.
• Be sure to also click it through in our awesome Sightings Database, and be sure to let us know if it isn't listed there. I'm about to do that with these right now

Keep on impulsively refreshing our homepage (because who needs to go outdoors when all the cool toys are indoors) for the latest and sometimes weirdest Transformers news here on Seibertron.com.

First Sighting of Wave One Combiner Wars toys with Comics

Thanks to TF fan Quinton, we now have a first image and sighting of a Combiner Wars wave 1 toy (Dragstrip) in its new packaging. While the United States got the international version of the Combiner Wars wave 1 toys, meaning they came with a card instead of an English language comic, the wave 2 toys all came with comics. Hasbro had stated in an interview with Seibertron that the plan was to release the wave 1 toys again with the comics. Finally, one such product was found. Here is what Quinton told us:

I was at Walmart in Harlingen Tx and noticed that the Dragstrip that is coming out with the Stunticon wave also has comicbook with it. This is new since Dragstrip came in wave one without the comicbook.

Seibertronian from Canada Jones has finally spotted a wild leader class Generations Combiner Wars Megatron in the other, colder side of the North American continent - specifically Toys R Us in Barrie, ON. They report that a single Armada Megatron was on the shelf, too, and that this specific toy has now found a new home at the price of $59.99 CDN.
