Description:
Autobot Cosmos (Deluxe Class, 2022)
Accessories: Blaster, checkered/white flag
Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection "Autobot Cosmos” is a Deluxe Class figure that transforms into a flying saucer based on his original design, albeit with a rather tall top. He has multiple 5 mm post-holes in both modes in order to make use of the many other figures from recent years that disassemble into weapons and armor, plus his blaster is compatible with the "Fire Blast effects” that came with many other toys... but sadly, his wrist-blasters and saucer-mode thruster-pipes are not.
He comes with a hard-plastic checkered flag piece that can connect to his blaster, which Cosmos can then hold by the barrel to wave the flag around. The other side of the flag is completely white; this has been jokingly referred to as a "surrender flag” in developer livestreams, but in racing terms, white flags can indicate slow-moving vehicles on the track or the start of the final lap (depending on the racing organization).
Cosmos’s deco is missing the yellow frame around his blue chest details due to several of his major appearances in the cartoon being colored incorrectly (see Notes for more details). Speaking of missing deco, some stock photography shows him with an Autobot symbol on the silver stripe at the front of his disc/feet, but the final product lacks this symbol.
This toy was originally intended to be a partial retooling of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee "Origin Bumblebee” figure, but the engineers were able to figure out how to make an entire Deluxe Class figure out of the mere three sets of tooling that would nominally be allocated to a six-tools-total Deluxe. Impressive!
The Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection was exclusive to Walmart in the US, with Hasbro Pulse receiving limited quantities of the figure. The series went up for pre-order on July 21st 2022, and started arriving in stores by August 1st. However, Cosmos and Clampdown were both shortpacked at one each per case where everyone else in the Deluxe assortment shipped at two per, thus those two pre-sold-out very quickly at both Pulse and Walmart’s website... though some retailers in the UK did receive solid cases of this figure.
