Transformers R.E.D. Shockwave and Galvatron Revealed

Walmart Collector Con is fast approaching, and Hasbro has just given us a preview by revealing Transformers R.E.D.

Our first reveals from the upcoming Walmart Collector Con are RED Shockwave and Galvatron. Shockwave in particular actually looks pretty good.

I have given up on the RED line. Bought all of them, waiting to see how they were until Knockout was released. Opened him up, and while he looks good and has nice accessories, the quality is just not there. Loose or gummy joints. I'll be selling them all off now. Hope Super7 decides to do something like Knockout at some point or the Legacy figure blows me away.

I just wish this wasn't happening on a day that I had to work. I want to get in on the action for those beasts.

If Shockwave had been in Action Master colors, I would have gotten him.

Have you had any trouble finding the other WM beast wars items? I wouldn't be worried

I haven't had serious trouble, but I'm something of a pessimist. Plus it's not just the reissues I'm worried about - I want the Legacy guys too.

All preorders now up on Pulse (and also Walmart but good luck with that).

I feel weird that everything was available on Pulse and all I preordered was turquoise Gung-ho.

The three legacy recolors are fine and all but they aren't characters I care about at all (and have no new bios or story attached to make me care) so they just don't feel "necessary" to me. Part of me would like the two BW guys because it's just wonderful to see original BW molds again but I still have the originals so it feels pointless to get them. And R.E.D. hasn't ever reached the quality or character creativity to make me care.

I'm not trying to be all negative it just feels really strange to me that there are seven exclusive TFs there and I didn't want any enough to order.

-ZacWilliam, not that I don't have way too many other things preordered already...

Well, much to my relief, I was able to preorder on Pulse with no problems.
