Latest revision as of 21:06, 17 August 2021

The Loyal Subjects is a company that makes vinyl figures, among other things. Most of their Transformers vinyls are based on the Generation One animation models of the characters, but there are some figures that take design elements from the original toys. The figures are primarily sold in blind boxes, but there are a few exclusives and larger figures sold in 'normal' packaging.

Several of their figures' bio cards are... somewhat familiar.[1]

Blind Boxes

[edit]

The Loyal Subjects has released three (so far) waves of vinyl figures packaged in blind boxes. The figures have varying rarity, and there are no codes to identify the characters.

Wave 1

[edit]
A case of wave one figures

Variant Wave 1

[edit]
A re-run of the original wave with different chase figures and differently-colored foot stamps; white and black foot stamps are first run, gold foot stamps are second run.

Wave 2

[edit]
A case of wave two figures
Wave two increased articulation, giving the figures ball joints. This upgrade made a substantial size difference between waves one and two. Wave two also had existing characters as the chase figures, whereas wave one just had special "dark" variants of characters from the set. This wave also added extra pieces that had to be attached to the figures. Peter Cullen's voice is used in the talking Optimus Prime.

Wave 2 Hot Topic Variant

[edit]
A special revision of wave two for Hot Topic stores, switching out some of the pre-existing figures for new ones.

Wave 3

[edit]
A case of Wave 3 figures
Wave 3 introduced gimmicks to the figures. Scrapper has sound effects, Blitzwing has a moving cannon, Rumble has working piledrivers, and Wheeljack has LED "ears".

Wave 3.5 "Power Pak"

[edit]
A variant of Wave 3 exclusively for Hot Topic including Diaclone, G2, and cartoon variant figures.
