These are names you come up with under heavy medication.

Just as Shrute was the new name given to Hairsplitter based on Dwight from The Office.

I think Sheeldron is a play on Sheldon from BBT...Just my guess.

Or "Shield" and "-tron"? Nah, too easy...

I like the look if that Optimus, but I doubt I'll get him.
Hope to find that Soundwave... Wish his visor was red, but he still looks totally worth it.
And I don't even really care about the cassettes (I'll probably keep one in his chest).

As far as I'm remembering, this is the best update I think Soundwave will have since.......... ???
I was using a reissue in my collection back in '07. And ever since.

The visor may very well be red, but who can really say for sure? We've had one instance this year where the early test shots had different colored translucent plastic than the finalized products (the Earthrise Seekers 2-pack) and another where the initial in-package photographs depicted a non-final product that was missing paint apps (Studio Series Blitzwing).

Damnation now I gotta switch out WFC Soundwave for this one! :BANG_HEAD:

It would be cool if Soundwave's visor is red-ish. :VEHI:

Laserbeak is in his Earth form, look at his head.
Soundwave is bought on sight for me.

I dig yellow visor Soundwave.

So I was able to pick up the WFC Spoiler pack 2 and man Nemesis is just so cool I really appreciate the ingenuity behind using the POTP Nemesis weapons on him since it make him look that much more imitating...wait imitating?

"What's that sound?"

But no in all seriousness I'm actually really excited to eventually pick up the Box-set Nemesis Prime to add to these 2, I'll give each Siege Nemesis one of the arm cannons and the POTP-type swords while POTP Nemesis the ringleader will have two cannons and the Takara Siege sword.

Picked up Netflix Megatron and gave my siege one to my son. He really looks great! And I love how they didn't rename Lionizer and Pinpointer, so they're captured Autobots that Megs is using against their buddies! I'm glad I picked this up!

For some reasons, I didn't notice.

And yeah, that's pretty BAD-ASS! 8-)

I'll have to try it out.

Thanks! Yeah I'll have to take some more pics when he's just absolutely loaded up to destroy everything in sight. Make use of all the ports.
I really love the paint job. Definite upgrade over the original siege figure.

Amazing that just a he right paint job can make a somewhat average mold into something freaking sweet!

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, Turned Agent and Praxiusprime77 have notified us that YouTube toy reviewer, TonTon Reviews, has uploaded a brand new video review of Transformers Netflix War for Cybertron Voyager Class Optimus Prime!

This Optimus Prime is actually the Leader Class version of the character from Transformers Earthrise just minus his gun and trailer. To make up for this, the Netflix release of this mold comes with two battle masters, Enerax (who is a redeco of Siege Battlemaster Pteraxeadon) who is meant to resemble Primes Energon axe, and Sheeldron (who is a redeco of Earthrise Battlemaster Soundbarrier), who is wielded as a shield in all the images thus far.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:

What do you think of this Optimus Prime? Are you getting him? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Honestly, all I want are the 2 Battlemasters from the Prime release (I already have ER Prime). I'll probably give Prime himself to one of my friends, unless I can get the Battlemasters cheap on eBay or something.

News Credits: 42 · Fri Sep 11, 2020 2:03 pm

Prime is a no for me. I already have the Earthrise Leader, and Soundbarrier/Shieldron is the lamest of the 3 Earthrise battlemaster molds.

Well I plan on picking it up but I don't want the battle masters. So maybe we can make a deal.

Arrgh... I've been ninja'd.

Having spent a small fortune in improving my ER Optimus already, I would love these Battlemasters.

It looks better just from having both parts of the head the same color. Would have preferred dark blue windows like the G1 new years. Inner legs are way better but I think I like brighter reds/blues of the original. Will probably go for the netflix version in the end tho, just have to do somrthing with the windows.

Hey, if you want the Battlemasters I won’t need mine, I can dm you once Prime (eventually) shows up.

On second thought, I already have the Weapon Pack on preorder. So I find no use for these Battlemasters. :-?
