Redeco DOTM Voyager Optimus - Argos & Target excl

[griffin]

The Allspark website has obtained a new Argos catalogue, which has a new image of this redeco DOTM Optimus toy in it (and a lot clearer this time), and since it doesn't say it is an exclusive or anything other than the regular "Premier Edition", this could just be a later wave toy (wave 3 or later) in the regular retail line.
But time will tell.

Those red wheels and reddish undercarriage.... somehow I like that... looks like he's traveling on hot lava.
Not going to buy it though.
Just be keen on the shield and sword... if I can get it separately.

TFW has obtained a catalogue as well, and scanned up all of the Transformers pages, including RID and Rescue Bots.
Nothing new shown though, as the DOTM Optimus and wave 2 Tiny Turbo Changers were already posted up as news.

The mysterious toy in the UK Argos catalogue a month ago, of a weird red/blue redeco of the DOTM Voyager Optimus toy, has been fully revealed, thanks to a Robotkingdom listing, labelling it as a Target (America?) exclusive.

The packaging notes that it's shield and sword act as decoders, like the red techspec decoders that came with 1980s Transformers toys.
It looks like it may only be revealing the allegiance symbol on the packaging... but maybe there is some inserted "coded" material as well.
