The bi-annual event of the new Argos catalogue occured yesterday and its now time to analyse the 1802 pages to see what Transformers offerings are inside. Animated Bumper Battlers are shown twice, and Animated Deluxes seem to have a price increase, but Leader Megatron has £10 off.

Ironically, on page 1674, it mentions that 2009 is the 25th Anniversary of Transformers. This makes no sense as Hasbro UK (wrongly) said that 2005 was the UK’s 20th Anniversary!

With all the news in San Deigo, here’s some news closer to home. Argos’s new catalogue came out on Saturday and with it lots of new figures for the UK. Argos, over the next 6 months, will be selling lots of Universe and Animated figures, with most of the first wave already out.

In total, 8 Deluxe, 5 Voyager and 4 Ultra figures will be released for the Universe line and 15 Deluxe and 8 Voyager figures for the Animated line.

Already sighted are Universe Deluxe Sunstreaker, Prowl and Tankor (all costing the rediculus price of £12.99!), Voyager Heavy Load and Blaster and Ultra Onslaught and Powerglide. Be sure to look out for in the next couple of months.

Rick of TF@TM has revealed that there will be 2 new Transformers Alternators in the new Argos catalogue, due out on 29th July. There will also be some Star Wars Transformers, but all the figures have already been released in the UK.

- Transformers Ford Mustang (cat no. 369 2006)
- Transformers Dodge Ram (cat no. 369 2013)

There will also be the Mazda and Subaru Alts, but no Jeep though. Also there are two separate Star Wars Transformers items listed.

Rich doesn’t confirm the identities, but its Prime and either Grimlock or Wheeljack.
