I think I want him as well. He looks good enough to be a generic or my own character seeker.

Found a lone Deep Cover at Walmart Saturday. And no wonder, the package was completely smashed, even the box window was torn down the middle. I've seen the first two waves restocked multiple times including Bumblebee so I'm good.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, and YouTube toy reviewer, Chuckdawg1999, has uploaded a new video review of one of the latest releases in the Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron line, Deluxe Class Deep Cover!

This version of Deep Cover reverses his color scheme, similar to the way that G2 Sideswipe reverses his.

Check out what Chuck has to say:

Chuckdawg1999 wrote:It seems like with every other week comes the release of another version of the Siege Sideswipe mold. The Walmart exclusive WFC Netflix line brings us our second version of the previously Japanese exclusive Deep Cover character, forgoing its usual black and blue look for a navy blue deco splotched with battle damage. Surprisingly, this is the most solid version of the mold I've handled, your mileage may vary though. There's not a lot new to recommend here so buy the figure if you're really, really into the mold.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:

Will you be picking up this figure? Do you prefer this colour scheme over his normal one? Do you have him?

Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Sometimes they absolutely kill it on these, like with the Bumblebee, Soundwave and Optimus Prime Netflix releases, sometimes they crap out stuff like this.

I think when fans look back at this line years later, the overall consensus will be that Wave 2 of the Netflix series was by far the best (In that it offered 3 unique and highly desired retools, and arguably the best Spoiler Box). Then Wave 1, then a pretty steep drop to finally Wave 3.

And that's mainly thanks to Covid forcing what were supposed to be three normal Earthrise figures into this line.

Makes one wonder what Hasbro might have offered in Wave 2 in place of those three had the pandemic not happened.

Dirty versions :lol:

Though in the case of Elita-1, maybe a dirty version of Arcee.

She's a pretool of ER Arcee, and by rule of thumb, Netflix is all redecos. That's where the theory of releases being shuffled comes from.

It does make a certain amount of sense.

That'll probably be the majority opinion, but for me personally, the only point of this line has been obscure Decepticon repaints/generics and the Cheetor with better coloration, Wave 2 was the only wave that actually had nothing I wanted (although if I didn't already have PotP Nemesis, the Spoiler Pack would have been sorely tempting).

If I'm remembering right, I think one of the leakers said that more specifically, Bee and Soundwave were supposed to be mainline figures that got moved to Netflix because there weren't enough mainline spots and their amounts of retooling meant they wouldn't fit in Selects, while Elita was a Selects release that got moved to Netflix, but obviously we don't have specific proof of that being 100% accurate.

That makes more sense to me, seeing as how her lack of animation accuracy is more similar to Selects figures than the mainline ones.

It was said that Bee was bumped from the main line because VW took too long to give their approval.

Ok, so I have a question for the few of you who have Bee and Cliffjumper:
One of the things that kept me from picking up Cliffy is the fact his feet are so big and clompy! I know its weird :lol:

but it hampers the enjoyment non the less. So the question is, how clompy are the VW feet on Bee? A little more minimal, more streamlined bc of the curves?
The only reason i ask is because on the off chance he pops up in stores it might be fun to pick him. My collection has 0 Bumblebees, especially a G1 styled version. And if Bee tickles my fancy enough might pick up the other mini-bots, Huffer and Warpath, to complete a little team trio. But honestly right now Warpath is being held up by the same feet issue and Huffer because .. well hes whole front end just turns into a hoodie (sigh) It sure is fun being a manic toy collector :BANG_HEAD:

I haven’t been lucky enough to find Bee. I do have Cliffjumper.
But if you ever see Bee, of course you should get him. I have Classics Bee & still wanted this NF version.
And his feet are a bit smaller than Cliffjumper’s.
I’ve given up hope for any NF figures from previously released waves... Haven’t seen anything in weeks.

I’m only wanting Bee at this point.
I was lucky enough to find Soundwave, & have OP shipped.
I’m pretty sure the next NF figures I find will be the new ones; sparkless & Deep Cover.

Let the MOTU Jokes Commence!

This is the exact same Megatron that was last released in the Netflix line down to the exact same paint. Only difference is the paint on the chest plate. Still look totally bad-ass. A must for those who missed out on the last Netflix Megs.

Plus that Skelivore look nice too. I think that's a set with great value. ;)^
