    Arrow 2012 Transformers Toy Checklist for Australia

    This checklist aims to cover everything being released by Hasbro America (which we get here), Hasbro Asia (we sometimes get here), as well as the most notable or unique TakaraTomy toys (maybe one item here per year).

    The current release status for Australia will be noted as often as possible.
    Previous Archive Checklists:
    2011 Movie toys
    2011 Non-Movie toys
    Second half 2010
    (late 2009-early 2010 to be added later)
    2008-early 2009
    1996-2008

    Items will be added to the checklist when officially revealed by Hasbro, or official pics of the toys, or in-package images verify its existence.
    Posting of corrections or additions of Confirmed information is welcome.

    Release dates are when items are expected to be widely available in America, and should only be used as a guide for Australia (usually within a month or two if released here at all). All future dates and details can change at any time (they changed a few between Toyfair and BotCon).

    US prices are before tax (usually about 8%)
    AU prices are full retail (includes 10% tax)

    Key:
    HERE = Release date at a major chain in Australia.
    OUT = Release date in US or globally (not yet found here if not mentioned as "HERE").
    NOT HERE = Released in other countries, but not expected here.

    Hmmm, there really isn't much on this list that's interesting me besides the Generations figures. I hope Has/Tak have more in store for this year.

    I'm confused about this

    Deluxe
    - - Wave 6 (CANCELLED)
    Soundwave (grey, new - Decep) (in Japan & Asia only)
    Wheeljack (blue, new - Auto) (in Japan only)
    Evac (blue car, new - Auto) (in Asia only)
    - - Wave 7 (CANCELLED)
    Soundwave (black redeco - Decep) (in Asia only)
    Wheeljack (white redeco - Auto) (in Asia only)
    Bumblebee (minor redeco - Auto) (in Asia only)

    Were these planned for asia only and were then cancelled or are they just cancelled in america and are expected in asia?

    To my understanding it's just the Western Markets that have had them be cancelled, though that Wave 7 assortment is completely news to me in regards to it's sheer existence.

    I've heard about the soundwave and wheeljack recolour but just assumed that they were cancelled along with wave six. I didn't know that they would still be released in asia

    As Hursticon was guessing, the US Toyfair Media Event reported that those remaining DotM toys were not going to be released in America, but would be in "Movie Trilogy" packaging for the Asian Hasbro markets.
    But as with everything unreleased, things can change at any time.

    I'll reword that to be future-tense, so that it isn't as confusing. I also added them into the Hasbro Asia Section as well. (including the Ratchet redeco that I forgot before)

    And Hursticon, that 7th Wave was announced at NYCC, but that was a while ago now, so easily forgotten (for just being a redeco wave).

    That should cover all the non-BotCon news items now, except the single-pack JP Microns, as I'm waiting for their release to know exactly what is in it... there are a lot of Micron moulds and redecos floating around lately, I've lost track of them all. (having unique JP names doesn't help either)

    I love the look of that Japan Exclusive Black Jetwing Optimus Prime. What do you have to do to get one???. Does anyone know.

    Thanks for any info.
