Wave 3 has to be one of the oddest waves so far, Fasttrack to go with been and gone Scorponok

?? I don't think/hope that's an accurate way to describe Scorponoks current availability. I mean he is still pretty readily available for several online retailers, but as for actual B&M Stores, at least for Target here in the U.S.... I hope there is more to come, than the few sightings back in late Summer. I mean I got mine, so I'm happy, and it's not like I was expecting every Target in the US to get 10 of them for the Holidays, but I was hoping a few more would spring up and be available to those that still want one.

It seems like both Walmart and Target are stocking up a bit for the Holiday. Unfortunately is mostly with Cyberverse that is extremely slow moving, or SS which is a moderate seller. Not many signs of Generations, which is obviously the best seller, since nobody can seem to keep it in stock (except for Micromasters, which admittedly there is an overstock of).

...well I guess this is happening anyway? Saw it on TFW:

Shove that up your Counterpunch.png

I dunno if this means the Glyph and Tap-Out rumor is more or less credible now, these GO sets have been some real weirdos when it comes to their "leaks".

Right now it looks like the set only actually shows up on Amazon if you got to that GO hub page they made though.

This is correct, almost flipped out when I couldn't find it. This is the link if anyone wants: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0855748HF

Always knew P/CP was meant for WFC, not Prime Wars .

Scorponoks no longer available from our toy retailer Smyths ands looks like he has been removed from Amazon UK. They might do more like they are doing for Omega though.

Interesting repaint on Punch/Counter, unpainted wheels but a nice yellow trim and a different shade of blue by the looks of it. Not too fussed about Barricade (Edit: he has the cheeaper unpainted smokescreen look to him with his unpainted rear and wheels compared to Bluestreaks nicer details).

Thanks for that!
I maybe in for this...
I really like that Barricade, & I was kind of wanting that Cybertronian car mode as well. Considering I’ve never had Punch/Counterpunch makes it that much more tempting.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Nemesis Primal has let us know that the Official Transformers Instagram has revealed the latest Amazon Exclusive Galactic Odyssey two pack: Criminal Pursuit Pack!

This two pack contains Deluxe Class Barricade (Redeco'ed from the Earthrise Deluxe Class Smokescreen) and Punch/Counter-Punch (which was previously part of the Prime Wars Amazon Exclusive series, representing Power of the Primes. This release lacks the Prime armour that the previous had).















This is the fourth Galactic Odyssey set to be revealed.

What do you think of this set? Will you be getting these figures? Did you miss out on getting Punch/Counterpunch two years ago? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

[william-james88]

Thanks for getting this Zerowolf.

As for this set: BOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[o.supreme]

The G.O. sets have been interesting, but I haven't seen a single one I've wanted. Yay for my wallet I guess?

I kind of hope the rumor about the last one including another repaint of Ironworks is false, because then I'd have to get it.

This pack is the only way to get Punch/Counterpunch for less than $80 or $90 anymore so to me this is a heck of a deal.

No probs boss!

So looks like the rumours of punch being included in the Walmart Headmasters release is just going to be hot air in the end (though stranger things have happened I guess).

[blackeyedprime]

Might have been cool for punch/counter to have been done as frenzy/rumble just to be odd and something different.

Which leaves us to speculate what other figure can take that spot.

Yeah that's a skip for me. Barricade isn't too high of a priority for me (though he does look pretty rad) and I managed to snag Punch/Counterpunch back during POTP. I MAY have been interested if the Punch/Counterpunch here was the exact same deco as that one so I could have both Punch and Counterpunch displayed at the same time, but nah I think I'm good.

It would be nice for everyone to get a shot at her again

I'm still holding out hope for a Cerebros!

Also, on the new Punch/Counterpunch deco, I guess they had no where else to go after the PotP release, which pretty much nailed the deco for both screen and toy accuracy. This new deco seems to just add some details that weren't there before, like the yellow trim on the alt mode, and take away iconic details, like the red hubcaps. They also took away some, but not all, of the toy sticker tampograph details. I guess this helps maintain the value of the original release?

Oddly enough I used the slightly different deco to justify buying this and using the PotP one as Punch with the darker blue and this one as Counterpunch and display them at the same time. (Note: crappy basement lighting may help one not care as much about the deco differences.)

[Burn]

Oh be still my enlarged not functioning to full capacity heart ... how awesome! Characters that have been given modern updates in the last five years getting another go around!

[Flashwave]

So I did pre order this for Barricade, but I'm gonna end up flipping one of my P/CPs if I keep the pre-order. And honestly, ai am not sure I care enough about Barricade to do so. Plenty of time to cancel though.

[Rodimus Prime]

This set is a complete pass for me. I don't have enough interest in either figure. I do want a Counterpunch, but there are better options out there.

Out of nowhere, I got a notice from Amazon today that my Trailbreaker will be here in a few days. I thought I was going to have to wait months. Prowl and Ironhide should be right behind him, followed by Sunstreaker and Runabout.

[bacem]

Yup, now this is a 2-pack where i actually want both figure. I haven't got any of ER datsun mold, and barricade seems like the most interesting one, as i just want 1 datsun mold. And for punch, i never able to get him before, so him being reissued here is good news for me.

[Razorbeast88]

Oh man! So exciting to get another shot at punch/counterpunch that isn't ridiculously overpriced but what a shame with the redeco, it wouldn't bother me as much of they had kept the red hubcaps and I dont own any of the Datsun molds and don't have a lot of deluxe decepticons so im happy to have a barricade, already pre-ordered it!

[Ultra Markus]

so in order to get barricade you have to get punch/counterpunch too

[TF-fan kev777]

Out of nowhere, I got a notice from Amazon today that my Trailbreaker will be here in a few days. I thought I was going to have to wait months. Prowl and Ironhide should be right behind him, followed by Sunstreaker and Runabout.

I managed to snag him when he briefly came in stock/pre-order for $17.88 on Friday and mine just arrived today. Originally said somewhere in November, then I got a notice saying Yesterday or today, but after the last time of the move the dates up only to move them back merry-go-round, I wasn't believing it until he arrived. I'm now a believer.

Edit: Also Sunstreaker is my guess on the next one to be suddenly moved forward. Just a hunch.
