Transformers Thread 2.0

Tigertrack looks badass! I’m a sucker for the sporty, yellow color-scheme. It’s like Sideswipe is cosplaying as Sunstreaker lol. It’s temping but, i’ve already got Siege Sideswipe and Red Alert. So that’s two of the mold (even though it is a good mold).

Hrmmmmmm…

Finally got my hand on jetfire… kind of. Pre ordered x 2 (one for me and one for the Boi). Extended delivery time due to covid :frowning:
On the bright side sunstreaker (for Boi) and trailbreaker for myself should be here by wednesday.

Finally picked up Earthrise Double-dealer, in all his Teal glory! Most of the time when i spot him they are in damaged boxes but, i scored one in a Mint box. Because TF boxes are glorious.

Also lately i’ve checked (4) Wal-marts and (2) Targets. Two really sad things i’ve noted: 1) Grapple is a big shelf warmer. Shame because it’s a damn good rendition of the character. Something tells me we may not get an Inferno, due to how badly grapple has warmed the shelves. And 2) There are an INSANE buttload of studio series bots! And not the new 86’ releases but, the Bayformers series.

Are Bayformers bots in THAT much of a demand by the fandom?! Geez. Every wal-mart i’ve been too has had a crap-ton of them. At a few wal-marts i even noted some shipping boxes up top. I pulled them down and opened them up in the hopes that i might score and find something like the 86’ releases but, nope! Just MORE Bayformers. They have so much that they don’t even bother to take them out of the shipping boxes, and leave them up top.

Ever since i heard about Earthmode Ultra Magnus (and should i be suprised at this point, Hasbro?!), i’ve been considering letting go of my Siege Magnus. Aside from the Vehicle mode, Siege Magnus otherwise looks great. Both in Magnus and “White Prime” mode.

Hrmmm…

Wow. So it turns out there are 3rd party upgrade pieces for the Siege Sideswipe/Red Alert/etc mold, to add a spoiler onto it. And it really COMEPLETES the vehicle mode and looks cool as hell.

I want the counterpunch but, don’t care about Earthrise Barricade.

My crappy local wal-mart that is really bad on getting new releases, has a CRAPLOAD of Earthrise Netflix Soundwave’s and the New Earthrise Prime pack (the one without trailer and two battle masters). Plus i finally saw some Earthrise Bumblebee’s and Elita-1’s.

So i’m guessing these guys will be everywhere before long. The scalper’s must be sad right now.

So far the only figures hard to get are Amazon exclusives. Most others become available pretty easily upon release.

As a G1-fanboy, i LOVE those boxes but… i’ve already got these guys in 2017 with Titans Return. When i first heard about them and saw images, i was thought this would be the next wave of G1 reissues. Then i’d HAVE to get them. But just the Titans Return guys in spiffy new boxes? I dunno.

Being a G1 Fanboy, I normally don’t care about Beast Wars and will be skipping all of the releases (Aka: Truk not Monky).

But that Purple Dinosaur mode looks badass! The only one i could see myself maybe getting. Would probably go good on a shelf with Studio Grimlock.
