G.I. Joe Classified series is already a thing.
Okay so, even being kinda drunk, I DID understand everything there was to know about the R.E.D thing...am I the only one who thinks that name is kinda dumb?

I do hope this line gets some non-G1 figures though. And/or some non-transforming figures. I'd even buy a pack of human characters (Rad Carlos and Alexis please!)

What confirmation? Someone has seen the toy?
william-james88 wrote:So far this year is giving us an Arcee relase in every line. We got one in Studio Series, Generations, MP and Cyberverse. So, with this new Transformers R.E.D. Series (see what they did there?), we just had to get another Arcee. And so that's what we'll get. Transformers fan LegoTFGuy used his Walmart scanner to see if they could find other listings under this new RED Series and found quite a few. Of course, we've seen Optimus Prime and Megatron, and we have further confirmation of the Soundwave we already had a listing of, but they found even more such as the afore mentionned Arcee, Bumblebee (Big surprise!) and Cheetor along with another figure which has yet to be named in the system. They are all 19.87.
A few extra points, we did have a previous listing for a Generations Cheetor, so it is unclear if this is that same toy or not (the ID numbers are not the same). Also, the Arcee is listed as "Prime Arcee" and these are only inferred to be part of the RED series because they are bundled together in Walmart's system. Though Bumblebee does have the clear RED moniker. And Bumblebee being the same price means either they will be in scale and you are paying the same for half a figure OR he will also be 6 inches and scale will not be a factor in this line.

Okay, that is your paranoia about John Warden's G1 focus interfering with your rational thinking Prime Wars Arcee is literally just G1 Arcee, with a Headmaster gimmick at one point, and thus wouldn't require a special "Prime" designation. Also, this Arcee listing has that "Prime" designation where Bumblebee, Cheetor, and Soundwave all have "Gen".Nemesis Maximo wrote:That’s not a confirmation of TF:Prime Arcee. That’s just as likely to be Prime Wars
That's a bit more plausible, but still seems unlikely given the nature of the 6" action figure lines.Nemesis Maximo wrote:Prime Armor or some other gimmick.
You're so skeptical that it almost seems like you don't want it to be anything other than G1 either.Nemesis Maximo wrote:I’m skeptical of anything other than G1 showing up. John Warden doesn’t like it.
This made me think back to Kabaya's Blockformers and Change Galaxy stuff. Those transformed though. They did those little Hyper Galaxy 5 PoA non-transforming ones too but never a Leobreaker or Wing Saber. Have to admit stuff like that would make these more interesting.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Good BAF possibility for this line: Cybertron Super Mode Optimus Prime, including backpack-mode Wing Saber, and arm mode Leobreaker.
