The Loyal Subjects

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.

Wave One

Optimus Prime - 2/16

Bumblebee - 2/16

Jazz - 2/16

Grimlock - 2/16

Megatron - 2/16

Soundwave - 2/16

Starscream - 2/16

Thundercracker - 2/16

Chase variant Bumblebee - 1/96

Chase variant Jazz - 1/24

Chase variant Megatron - 1/48

Be careful with your Starscreams and Thundercrackers. The wing pegs are notorious for breaking off during removal of the wing packs.

Wave Two

Slag - 2/16

Shrapnel - 2/16

Thrust - 2/16

Ramjet - 2/16

Shockwave - 2/16

Mirage - 1/16

Sideswipe - 2/16

Prowl - 2/16

Chase Talking Optimus Prime - 1/16

Chase Dirge - 1/24

Chase Skywarp - 1/96

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.
