No, seriously. Pre-orders
are open, but if you wanted the Megatron who turns into a bull, he's not there.
Anyway, here's what the product description reads, for all you lore fiends out there:
Welcome to the incredible world of Transformers robots. It is a world of high technology, ancient history, and a battle that has spanned the entire galaxy and millions of years. Optimus Prime, leader of the heroic Autobots, battles the tyrant Megatron and his evil Decepticons for the fate of freedom across the universe. There's a Transformers figure for every kid or collector. From big converting action figures to miniature battling robots to figures that change between modes in 1 step, you can team up with Transformers toys to create your own incredible adventures. Whether you're defending Earth with the Autobots, or conquering space with the Decepticons, the action is up to you. Transformers is a world-famous entertainment brand with 30 years of history, blockbuster movies, hit television shows and countless novels and comic books. With Transformers robot toys, you can create your own chapters in this epic, ongoing story. Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

And check out this cool back-of-box spread for Big Grim:
Now, some of you might notice that some of these (well, all of these except Grimlock, as of this writing) are unavailable/out of stock. Yeah, they'll do that. But keep checking back in, because these things tend to come and go. But at least now you know where to look, right?
Thanks to our friends over at
Tformers, Lord Giga Ice, Steevy Maximus, and viewers like you for letting us know about these.
