Anybody know Cybertronian? I can post pics if someone wants. Pretty sure the spoilers are the two text blocks on top with Autobot and Decepticon symbols next to each, where the putty and Energon cubes are.

I think we're not supposed to reveal on this site what the spoiler text says until after the show premieres, out of courtesy for the show's makers.

Though, if you want to try translating it for yourself, check on TFWiki for the alphabet. Having not seen the text, myself (since I don't want the Spoiler Pack), I presume that it's this one.

Something to the effect of "redacted redacted redacted redacted redacted redacted".

I saw it on YouTube.

If I see that Magnus for $35 I'd bite. He doesn't look too bad for that price

I got a Rung, and I'm not too worried about burning justice Rung

Plus, Rung is getting a re-release in Earthrise (unless coronavirus messes up distribution...).

The most important this is if he looks the part in robot mode.

Not surprised. Just disappointed. Expect to see him on Ebay for $80-$100. All we can do right now is wait.

If the first wave of Netflix figures are anything to go by, I’m not too worried about preordering these. I’m only interested in Bumblebee, Elita-1 and Soundwave and I’m sure I’ll find them when they come out.

None of the figures in the first wave will have nearly as high a demand as Soundwave and Bumblebee (who is now also sold out).

Very true, but we said that about Hotlink too and I see him all the time. Only time will tell I suppose :-?

Hotlink was niche though and cost more. With Bee, you not onky have to deal with fans and scalpers, but with parents too.

I'm sorry but I'm confused....is this a NEW "spoiler" Leader class figure...or is just the Ultra Magnus set?

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Fri Jul 17, 2020 5:27 pm

It's a new spoiler figure. But people are predicting it will be just as lame.

Yes, Hotlink was niche, cost more, and some people found him disappointing.
Bumblebee is a lot more mainstream and at a smaller price point. On the other hand, that last fact does mean they can put more of him out.

Plus people might be burned out on Bee once more, after a certain late-2018 movie caused shelves to be flooded with Bumblebee toys all over again.

It's a new one, presumably a Decepticon of some variety judging by the packaging sporting the logo.

You say that and yet I remember this toy being the figure thst sold out the quickest from TLK toyline. And thats a figure no one cared to scalp nor was it a figure most fans cared to add to their collection.

Bee sells whether we want the toy or not.

1. I saw TLK premier Bee shelfwarming, although not as badly as Barricade and Berserker.
2. That was TLK. TLK came before the Travis Knight movie flooded the shelves with umpteen different Bumblebees, some of which I still saw lingering last time I went in a Target.
