Revenge of the Fallen Toys Out on 29th May

Written by Big Bot on January 7, 2009 | News,Toys,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen | Tags: ,

A  post on a.t.t. has confirmed that the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toyline will be hitting Walmart stores on 29th May, about a month before the film hits cinemas.

This follows a similar launch to the first movie, with toys being sighted around late May 2007.

A quote from the Walmart 2009 Toys Spring Modular Guide describes the line as being “far and away the largest action figure license for the year”, which should means lots of attention focused on the brand.

Transformers: Animated Two Packs News and Bios

Written by Big Bot on October 13, 2008 | Hasbro,News,Toys | Tags: , ,

Site Sponsor Kapow Toys has posted the profiles for the Transformers Animated 2-packs – Optimus Prime and Blackarachnia and Megatron and Prowl. he has also revealed that the packs will be Wal*Mart exclusives in the USA.

The Revenge of Blackarachnia
Long ago Optimus Prime was forced to abandon Blackarachnia in the caverns beneath the surface of an alien world. There she found herself surrounded by a terrifying horde of bizarre spiders and she was forced to reformat herself based on the strange organism to survive. The experience twisted her and drove her away from the autobots and left her with an undying desire for revenge on the former ally who left her to her fate. She has come to earth in search of Optimus Prime and she will not stop until she has destroyed him and everything he holds dear.

Battle In Space
In Space over a strange alien world Megatron carves his way through the hull of the autobot spaceship with his fusion cannon. Inside Prowl and his fellow autobots wait, knowing there is very little chance of defeating the Decepticon leader in a fight. Prowl knows his only chance is through stealth and skill. When it comes time to meet the mighty Megatron in combat he relies on his holographic projectors and speed to avoid being hit whilst tagging his opponent with every combat technique he knows. Unfortunately even his most powerful attacks bounce off the invincible armour of the Decepticon tyrant.
