What about the fact that the original SG Ratchet and Ironhide didn't share body-types in the first place?

Ironhide used Universe Ironhide's body while Ratchet used Energon Roadblock's body and his backup form used CW First Aid's body.

The Seeker looks like one of the dark green ones seen in the show.

Yeah it looks like the Maximals are getting Minimals changes.

Is it just a brighter blue and a darker red for Primal with the change I feet color? Don’t see much else different on him. Rattrap seems brighter overall too.

People are missing that the alt-mode decoes are also different, especially in the faces. Still very minor, but it's something.

Leave it to Walmart to have a 1 week countdown to a broken webpage.

Voyagers and Leader Spoiler pack are up on Pulse in the Premium-only stage regardless of Walmart's broken site, as are the reissues of Cheetor, Rattrap, and Megatron.

Rattrap is the same price as Cheetor on Pulse. Why?

Well now it is sort of working, but only shows the Voyager Primal set not many people want.

For everyone wondering what the $50 Premium subscription got you, it was this, getting Pulse orders in while everyone else spends half an hour refreshing Walmart.com.

Edit: Spoiler and Sparkless Seeker pack both sold out on Pulse as of 1:35 PM ET.

Pushed back to an Amazon 2-pack due to COVID-19 supposedly. I think he's supposed to be packed with BW Grimlock (White/bronze BW Dinobot).

Walmart's site is finally working, but no deluxes and no voyager seeker pack. I'm guessing bots must have already cleared them out of seeker pre-orders that would never end up shipping anyway.

The voyagers are there:

I see BW reissue Rattrap is also over priced on Walmart's as well. How are they justifying the deluxe price on the smaller figure?

So, who will be the spoiler leader?

Yeah, I just found it too. Man, what a mess of a launch to have a 1 week countdown leading to this crapshow.

Sabr, got any other ideas for obscure Transformers or Diaclone homages a blue "Sideswipe" might represent?

Ok lots of news to get through all at once. Firstly, Hasbro is wasting no time using that new Partner Exclusives option on their Pulse site. Right now, they have the following up for preorder:

Beast Wars reissues, with a rather high price for Rattrap: https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... ge-nosto-1

Netflix Voyager packs, where the Sparkless Seeker is already sold out: https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... ge-nosto-1

Finally, they have the Netflix Transformers Wave 3 spoiler pack, which is sold out: https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... ler-pack-1

That means we have a first look at this new Spoiler Box. The contents are the clear purple Paleotrex and a rumoured voyager Megatron figure. Images are below. Before we get to those, here are the all the Walmart preorders.

Optimus Primal https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers ... /632803916
Megatron https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers ... /791542741

Giving UK Pulse a go for the first time, pre-ordered the Sparkless Seeker/Double Ugly with Nape and Snake. Time will tell if this works out!

News Credits: 56 · Mon Mar 15, 2021 2:17 pm

So... the deluxes are starting to show up in some locations now, but the Voyagers and spoiler Box not until August...?? :HEADHURTS:

.

Unfortunately I had a busy morning, so by the time I looked at Pulse, they were sold out. I pre-ordered the Seeker and Spoiler Box on walmart, for all the good it will do :roll:

Also, have the contents of the Spoiler Box officially been revealed (beyond the aforementioned rumors?) WFC Megs $30 / Paleotrex $20 (Gotta have something else to justify the additional $10)

They basically just inverted Deep Cover's normal deco for this toy, switching his primarily dark blue and secondarily bright blue color scheme for a primarily bright blue and secondarily dark blue one.

Pretty much the same way G1 Sideswipe's red w/ black deco was inverted into G2 Sideswipe's black w/ red deco, essentially making this "G2 Deep Cover".
