There are many G1 Dinobots fans out there and quite a few found the redecos of Rescue Bot toys adorable. But these were not easy to find for everyone. So, in case anyone is still looking for them, Entertainment Earth has the whole set as a preorder that will be shipping out next month. For only $20, you get these cute little guys. All transform in just one step but also have a gimmick in Dinosaur mode, like Swoop flapping his wings or Snarl swiping his tail.

This will be very quick so we get the word out ASAP before it sells out. While the Target exclusive Buzzworthy Bumblebee deluxe Silverstreak (a blue redeco of earthrise Bluestreak) seems abundant in many stores, it still isn't the case for absolutely everyone. There's always someone looking for a way to order him online and this is your way now. You can get him on Hasbro Pulse right this second for $24.99 USD, which is the new deluxe price point.

Here is the link: https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... lverstreak

Target.com currently has him in-stock, too, at an even cheaper price: https://www.target.com/p/transformers-b ... nk=sametab

And here's a review if you'd like to see one before you buy the toy.

Blue/Silverstreak has never been a character I've cared much about, but this repaint does look nice. My G1 Autobot shelf could do with some more shades of blue, I'm thinking I'll buy either this or Skids, or put Legacy Prime Arcee in there and treat her as my default Arcee.

Wait a damn minute... $24.99 USD for Silverstreak comes up to $31.27 CAD. So why the hell is he $42.99 CAD then? That's a hell of a mark-up for the exact same toy.

I just remembered that this blue Silverstreak toy also doubles as Shattered Glass Bluestreak. All you SG collectors better scoop this one up! ;)^

Great review!! Only downside I have to this is we're not getting Blue Bluestreak/Silverstreak but what it looks like they did was use the Barricade repaint of Smokescreen and stuck Bluestreak's head on it so it's kinda of a Blue Smokescreen...but I bought one anyway!!

As someone who happened upon this figure this evening, for anyone planning to hunt him down, I've never been so scared for a figure breaking then I have for this bluestreak. The blue paint seems really sticky, and with it being painted on clear plastic, I genuinely don't think this figure will make a year or excessive transformations.

Thank you! I got mine, along with Buzzworthy Kup, which was back in stock. Still waiting for Road Rage to show up on Pulse.

I have a copy of this mold from the Ironhide/Prowl Earthrise two pack. As such, I have avoided getting any of the associated repaints. It's flimsy, those hollow legs are just too glaring to ignore and the little shin plates that rotate down to cover the emptiness are more comical than effective. Every time I transform Prowl I worry that it will snap in half because it feels so brittle, and I have to treat it like it's made of spun glass.

The minions have seen several copies of Bluestreak in stores now, but we've let them be for these reasons.

Just saw that more of the earthrise seeker two pack is coming out this month. Was anyone still looking for it?

Sheesh!. Why just these guys? Where's the re-release of Thrust or the other two pack with the cone heads?

These guys have been available everywhere at varying prices. Heck you can still get them from Amazon right now.

I got my set for $30 bucks shipped in a flash sale. Is anyone still needing TC and SW at this point?

Or do jets sell that well?

I got my silverstreak from Target.com. He is pretty neat. I will discuss him in the Buzzworthy thread, but he is a fun diaclone addition.

Road Rage will not be coming to Pulse.

Just snagged Terrorsaur on Amazon for 43 bucks. Best price I've seen so I jumped on it. 19 on him left in stock at the time I got him. Hurry if you've been looking for him!

News Credits: 4877 · Tue Apr 12, 2022 4:02 pm

Prices for Terrorsaur are getting pretty crazy on the secondary market and Amazon third party sellers. So if you were looking for him, just clock the link below to get him on Pulse. It's available for US and Canadian buyers for $22.99 USD, a price that is looking better and better as time goes on. He might sell out as soon as this news goes out but we wanted to let you know jut in case because this has been a really hot figure.

Well toy accurate may not be ideal, but some fans will at least have another shot at it.

Not sure why Kingdom Terrorsaur is so sought-after, it looks pretty goofy to me. There's no accounting for tastes I suppose. If the minions find the Buzzworthy repainted version in stores I may pick it up, but otherwise I'm not fussed over this one.

It's the most show accurate version of him we've ever gotten, and it's a pretty good figure (retool of the excellent Kingdom Airrazor), so it makes sense. They really shouldn't have made him an online exclusive, anyone who wanted to complete their S1 Predacons was going to try to snatch him up. Which of course, also makes him easy money for scalpers.

Sometimes I really, really hate modern toy collecting. Got mine pre-ordered, thank God, but crap like this is infuriating.

I'd say the Buzzworthy version is what looks goofy...
The Golden Disc Terrorsaur was one of three BW figures I really ever considered getting.
Picked up Megatron because a promotional sale made him $37-ish...
AirRazor was the other, but I didn't allow myself anything past Megatron.
Which I'm fine with, because I'm really starting to lean towards getting 2 sets of Legacy Stunticons.

It's the first update for the character from Hasbro proper since Beaat Wars and while all other season 1 BW characters are released at wide retail, Terrorsaur is exclusive. Having an exclusive character be needed to complete a set of on screen characters is the recipe for high demand.

Mortals, rejoice! If you've been angry because Legacy Dragstip is constantly 'sold out' on Hasbro Pulse, and impossible to find in stores, then act quickly!

Because he's available again on Pulse - though only for registered members.

https://hasbropulse.com/collections/bac ... -dragstrip

Also available again, Skids, Kickback, and Studio Series Perceptor!

https://hasbropulse.com/collections/back-in-stock

And Premium finish Bayverse Megatron, if you're 'in' to that sort of thing...
