Additional WalMart.com Listings Reveal More New Figures walmart_logo2
Following up on the news of listings for previously unannounced Transformers toys at Walmart.com, Transformers @ The Moon had found even more new listings. New listings include Animated Bumper Battlers Lockdown, Workzone Bulkhead (repaint), and Stealth Ninja Jazz (repaint), Animated Activators Bandit Lockdown (repaint), Animated Activators Ramjet (repaint), Universe Deluxe Dinobot, and Universe Deluxe Starscream. The listing also includes many of the previously announced toys to be coming in late 2008 and early 2009, including the 25th Anniversary toys such as Hound & Ravage and Hot Shot. A full list of the new Walmart.com listings with links to the WalMart pages can be seen by clicking the TF@TM link.

Transformers - More Than Meets The Eye, Robots In Disguise - Transformers @ The Moon - www.transformertoys.co.uk

Links to the "order" page can be seen at the link, but here's a rundown of what's "new".

Transformers Animated Bumper Battler Lockdown
Transformers Animated Bumper Workzone Bulkhead
Transformers Animated Bumper Stealth Ninja Jazz
Transformers Animated Activators Bandit Lockdown
Transformers Animated Activators Ramjet
Transformers Universe Activators Dinobot
Transformers Universe Activators Starscream

From the looks of it, the "Universe Activators" seems to be incorrectly labeled and are actually deluxes. New BW Dinobot or a new mold G1 Dinobot other than Grimlock?
Powersa:
Animated Ramjet sounds interesting
General Tekno:
PLEASE be Beast Wars Dinobot.

I'm begging you, Hasbro.
Takara_destron:
Bandit Lockdown?
Hope he has a poncho.
Tim Formas:
I wonder what the Universe Deluxe Starscream is. Are they just going to repackage Classics Starscream for the 25th Anniversary or would this be a Starscream from a different generation for the 25th Anniveersary? Deluxe Armada Starscream?

Meh, how about a new Classics dinobot mold that doesn't suck for a change. Grimlock, with your mouth feet, I'm looking directly at you!
Spiderus Prime:
Why was have more of this listings?
yovnocrats:
well, i hate to say this, but I SLAGGIN CALLED IT.

STEALTH NINJA JAZZ?!?!?!?

more like, black jazz repaint that looks suspiciously like ricochet/ stepper.

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transf...-ricochet.html

can i haz cookie please?
Ravenxl7:
Transformers Universe Activators Dinobot
Transformers Universe Activators Starscream

These are the only two that really interest me. Looking at the link, I take it these are just actually Deluxes. Dinobot is going to be interesting. He's most likely a Beast Wars homage, so I most likely won't be getting him. Starsrscream is probably the same one we heard about a while back. I'm still hoping he's an Armada homage in Deluxe form. Hopefully it isn't too long till we find out what some of these figures are like. I wouldn't mind a G1 Snarl homage being called Dinobot, if it meant we would actually be getting a new mold update of him that's Classics styled.
Omegus Prime:
Looks like the Walmart listings have changed, Dinobot and the other Universe Activators are now marked as deluxes. As for Starscream, I REALLY want that to be Armada Starscream, they could do him so much better and his character was the saving grace of Armada.
General Tekno:
I am definitely praying we get an update on BW Dinobot that improves over the original.

And I will definitely raise my arms in Lugnut-style jubilation if he comes with a wooden/rock club and a Golden Disk.

i called it first but hell i call ricochet for EVERY series

it would be cool if this new bumper battler looked like ricochet.....but i think it is the silver repaint of jazz
Beastbot X:
YAY, DINOBOT!!! Seriously, his toy NEEDED an update. It looked too off from the show model.

As for the others:
Transformers Animated Bumper Battler Lockdown-- Self-explanatory.
Transformers Animated Bumper Workzone Bulkhead-- Probably yellow repaint
Transformers Animated Bumper Stealth Ninja Jazz -- Black repaint, most likely
Transformers Animated Activators Bandit Lockdown-- Hrm. Based off of the upcoming deluxe repaint, maybe?
Transformers Animated Activators Ramjet --I can't imagine what this is. Really, I can't. I'm not lying.

Psst...he knows. He's just acting like Animated Ramjet. You know, a liar.
G1Wheeljack:
Dinobot & Activators Ramjet= I really hope they mean BW Dinobot & that it's not a placeholder for one of the G1 Dinobots. The Jazz & Lockdown repaints sound nice also(I hope Bandit Lockdown has his poncho)
Omegus Prime:
So if we're getting a new Dinobot mold... does that mean we'll get a new BW Grimlock, Fox Kids Dinobot, RID Grimlock, Hardhead, Dinotron, and Thrustor??

yeah lol, but you called ricochet, i didn't, i called a black jazz repaint still called jazz that looks like ricochet. and i'm hoping i'm right, because i love animated jazz, and ricochet would look lovely on that mold...

the ricochet colors ALWAYS look good on ANY jazz mold......that is why jazz exist...to be repainted into ricochet

If Wal-Mart is putting these listings up...um why haven't these been announced yet?!

no he doesn't
dark69:
i hope its BW Dinobot
Veloxiraptor:
They've recycled the original BW Dinobot mold like a million times at this point. For the love of GOD let this one be a new sculpt.
Shin Densetsu:

Beast Wars Dinobot or a new mold Generation 1 Dinobot other than Grimlock?
I think its Beast Wars Dinobot. For one thing the mold is dated. Another thing he is arguably most popular after Cheetor, and Cheetor will be a new toy in Universe. I would not be surprised if its an all new, show accurate Dinobot, hopefully with moveable face guard though, I hated the teeth exposed appearance on the show.
Quote:
Animated Ramjet sounds interesting
Its probably just a repaint of Starscream, like the red and white clone on the show. Though if its a retool, that would be bad ass.

Oh god man i hope its Armada Starscream! Most popular character next to HotShot in Armada and the original toy is not up to par for us collectors.
SmokescreenGT:
Universe Dinobot and Starscream are the only ones on this list I will be getting. I hope Dinobot is a new BW mold. That would be cool.

Walmart has a history of having new listings in their system before Hasbro is ready to make an official announcement. I suspect it's due to the fact that they list each item by UPC, while Target uses DCPIs and doesn't name names.

As to why Hasbro isn't ready to announce the new listings, who knows?

"Hmmmmm.....Wal-Mart clearly has no honor in this situation... posting listings received by Hasbro before official announcement has taken place..."

"What are you talking about? They are the most honorable institution out there!"

"Spare me your tongue, vermin!"

"Cool it, cats! No reason to get all uptight 'round here!"

"And YOU... YOU are the worst of them all, bounty hunter! You possess no scruples, no honor!"

"No need to get hostile here... I'm just here for a job... see, there's a bounty out on any Starscream I can find..."

"I'm not a Starscream! Honest!"

WHAM!

"Sorry, my bad."
sixshot2K:
ARE ALL THE DAMN STARSCREAM ACTIVATORS!I hope the girl one isnt
TF@TM:
Sorry for the confusion on the last few entries in the list guys. From Universe Deluxe Assortment down to the Ultras they are all Universe deluxe, the activators part sipped in when I was making up the links to the listing.
Silent_Magnus:
Are ALL of those listed as activators really meant to be deluxes?
Even the Ramjet listing?

edit: oh it's just the universe stuff.

I KNOW 25th ANIVERSARY NEW FIGURE DINOBOT PLEASE!!!!!!!!! Do it right this tame give him GOOD teeth.
Thundershot:
I really wish we knew ahead of time what mold the Starscreams are gonna come in. I want them all. I don't really care which of the molds it is, but I don't want to start getting one mold only to have them not complete them in that mold.

Thundercracker and Ramjet will be Activators, Skywarp is Voyager.
videriant:
What if Dinobot is a repainted Classics 1.0 Grimlock? =(
Wazzpinator:
I would love Starscream Dlx, (classics) in his Armada colors.
Thundershot:
Oh yeah, regarding people wanting Megatron and Prime re-released...

At Botcon 2008, we were told that now even Classics Megatron can't be made because of the ever-increasing toy gun laws.

They are, however, going to run that Prime mold into the ground along with Starscream.
Dropshot:
Deluxe starscream? I don't care if it's the classics mold, new mold, new armada mold or even the energon mold, I know I will buy that. I really really hope it's Armada Starscream.

People would rampage over it and it wouldn't look a thing like him. It'll be a new mold like Cheetor
Thundershot:
It's probably BW Dinobot. When I was talking to the Hasbro guys at Botcon, Dinobot and Blackarachnia were two that they wanted to do because their toys didn't look anything like the show.
aey103:
Universe Starscream will be a pass, because I think it was already announced that it will be a repack of the Classics 1.0 release. Universe Dinobot I will be all over if it is either an unnammed G1 dinobot or if it is a new mold for BW Dinobot. I just hope Hasbro isn't dumb enough to do something like re-paint Classics 1.0 Grimlock brown and try to pass it off as BW Dinobot.

If a new Blackarachnia mold is made, I sincerely hope it's not repainted into Tarantulas.

Okay, with that said, thats more evidence to support the theory that the upcoming Dinobot is indeed a new Beast Wars version. AWESOME.
Deceptigtar:
how are they on the site but when you search for the item nothing comes up, even if typed word for word?
Lupis Convoy:
Dinobot and Ninja love.. awesome. I can't wait for these now.
Thundershot:
Some people here seem to have found some loophole into Wal-Mart's website. I have no idea... someone should spill the beans.
artiepants:
we talked about U. Deluxe Starscream in a thread a while back, my inclination of likelihood: #1. Henkei version minus chrome (takomy has this up and going, so i'd imagine it'd be the cheapest for Hasbro to do. Plus i just shelled out $25 for it, so that'd be about right ). #2. Classics Starscream again (apparently fairly rare judging by i see him going for like $25, popular character, good 'filler' for a wave). #3. outside chance of it being a new mold for Armada Starscream. I think this is fairly unlikely...

Dinobot. oh man, i hope this is a new mold and it's good. the original Dinobot toy is pretty awful, and i know a lot of folks consider him on of the best characters in the mythos...
Laser_Optimus:
Hm. Activators Ramjet listing coupled with Thundercracker and Cliffjumper makes me sad. I really wanted full sized (Voyager & Deluxe versions respectively) for these guys. Guess I just won't have them for my collection than.

Digging the listing for Deluxe Universe Dinobot. Very awesome and I do remember Thundershot talking about this before so I hope that means that Blackarachnia is close behind.

The listing for Deluxe Starscream... pass if it's just a repackaged Classics version (not likely... Hasbro never does anything like that for mass release) and I'll totally be picking it up if it's for a new Armada Starscream! Seriously that would kick ass. Could be a place holder for another unamned Seeker out of the Classics mold also.
