Not exactly news, but Hasbro Pulse was updated with new pictures of Thunder Machine Soundwave, and figured they were snazzy enough to be worth posting here:
Posting to the nice, comfy, purple pages here is always good as we don't have to go anywhere else.
Cheers for the pics!

I am really thinking about that Soundwave. He looks really nice!
I own the HISS Megatron, but still have never opened him as I really enjoy the packaging. The same reason I have never opened my JP1 Crossover set. However, both pieces value is basically non-existent since they're both on heavy clearance in a lot of places. Once I'm finished re-designing my display area, I'll probably pop both of them open to display.

He's very cool, Gizmoboy - you should do it! I've picked up each of the G.I. Joe crossovers so far, and IMO, Soundwave is the best; he looks good in both modes. I initially felt like the Thunder Machine was the wrong choice of vehicle, but after having it a while, it sort of works. Plus, my inner 8-year-old does backflips every time I transform it.
Yes,it is a best J.I Joe vehicle choice for Optimus.
That Soundwave is the most desirable of any of these to me so far.
I just want that blue Ravage.
Target Collaborative Optimus Prime w/ Autobot Bullseye

I have to say...I really dig the the Optimus deco. I can leave the trailer and Bullseye (Siege Ravage redeco), but the black/dark blue and red Optimus looks pretty sharp.
Even the Target logos are pretty restrained and easily ignored or covered up. I'll have to keep an eye for sales, but I REALLY like that deco.
Target Optimus Prime & Autobot Bullseye First Look
Courtesy of TFW's Jtprime17 and Nickster563, we have our first look at the upcoming Target Optimus Prime & Autobot Bullseye! This is a redeco of the Laser Prime cab and Earthrise Prime trailer in Target-themed colors, along with a reuse of the Siege Ravage cassette mold as Bullseye. These pics...

I guess they realized kids won't know what a cassette is anymore and tried to do something else with Bullseye, but I'm not sure what. Is he supposed to be a sign board?
I'd also comment on them not realizing the mold is supposed to be a jaguar, not a dog, but it's not like that mistake doesn't happen all the time anyway.

Transformers x Target Optimus Prime & Autobot Bullseye Revealed
Hasbro has unveiled TRANSFORMERS x Target Optimus prime & Autobot Bullseye, a collaboration that features Optimus Prime as

Oof. They have to hit me with that sweet Galaxy Force Optimus Prime color scheme.
It's ironic that the intended use for the Volvo Prime (Amazon Prime) was supposedly cancelled due to Hasbro not wanting to favour one retailer over others, but it's fine to do so for Target?
Regardless, THIS is the type of "shop exclusive" figure (alongside the upcoming comic editions of Shockwave and Grimlock) that should be retail exclusives (rather than actual "new" releases of established characters, IMO.
These are the type of recolours that many of us can both appreciate and/or take them out leave them without FOMO.
Also:
- is Bullseye meant to change into a Target giftcard?
- Optimus' abdomen logo perhaps isn't the best one?
Honestly Bullseye is the best part of this IMO. The trailer with the side art is the third best. (The box is the second best.) The Optimus is the boring part being just kinda generic ok.
Bullseye turns into a Target Mailing package /flat pack to be delivered by the Optimus truck. And Hasbro absolutely knows Ravage is a Jaguar, it's just an abstract metal jaguar at that tiny size is pretty much indistinguishable from a dog so it works fine as a repaint.
-ZacWilliam, now wants a Bullseye G1 tape...

Definitely like the deco on Prime. Bullseye is fun, though the trailer is a bit on the bland side (well, the inside of it at least). Not sure its a "preorder right this minute" sort of thing, but I may pick it up if i run into it in the store.
I wish it was the Volvo Optimus because then I might be interested. I already own this mold three times over and I'm tired of it's mediocrity.
Yeah, any kind of interior deco would help the trailer a lot. I kinda want this set, but mostly only for Bullseye. Blaster needs another cassette.
I'll buy the Optimus off you if you don't want it
