Transformers.com International Site Updated (Finally)!
Hasbro have finally updated the internatonal version of their Cybertron Website. The product page has also been updated with new figure listings that haven’t been released in the UK (yet). Hopefully they will be released soon
Scout
Clocker (Wave 2)
Hardtop (Wave 2)
Recon Mini-Con Team (Wave 2)
Deluxe
Red Alert (Wave 2)
Override (Wave 2)
Leader
Megatron (wave 1)
The “Where to buy” page has also been refurbished, but the link to hasbrotoyshop.com isn’t very useful. The site only ships to the USA and so is no use to people in the UK.
