The Previous Amazon Punch/Counterpunch? I don't know if there are any other double agents it could be? Unless they just create a new character. Was there a Shattered glass P/CP, now there is a brain buster if ever there was one... I refuse to acknowledge this was ever part of Power of the Primes because it doesn't adhere to the play patterns of that line. It is pretty obvious it was pre-Siege, but I just call it an Amazon Exclusive

I've seen speculation of it being either a combination Drift/Deadlock utilizing both bot modes or a new Pointblank using just the Counterpunch bot mode.

Just saw a rumor from one of the reliable sources for our selects releases. Apparently that new Earthrise Barricade that was revealed is going to be in a Galactic Odyssey set, and his packmate is either going to be Punch/Counterpunch, or a reuse of that P/CP mold as someone else.

Also from the same guy, the other sets are Glyph and Tapout, and a white Ironworks who might come with some Micromasters.

I thought ER Barricade was supposed to be in the Netflix WfC Trilogy line?

Boo! Target cancelled my Quintesson Judge order. They claim they sent me a delay notice that I didn't aprove, and they did send me one on 10/2, but when I checked the order it said I didn't need to take any action. Then on 10/7 I got another message for a delay on SS Skipjack which did require approval and I did so on 10/8 and there was definitely not an approval required on the Judge. But then I get the email Friday saying they canceled my Judge for not approving the order. That really sucks, I would have gotten him for half off. It's extra annoying knowing people have ordered two or three of them from Target and gotten them while my one kept getting delayed.

Dude that is so lame! Is this a typical occurrence with preordered stuff, or is this just a Target problem, or what?

It was. Apparently, things are getting shifted around due to distribution troubles brought on by the pandemic.

Yeah, I've had to approve four delays now and, frankly, if the Pit of Judgement shows up first I might just cancel. Sucks to lose the deal but it ain't a deal if I ain't actually receiving the product.

The leaker who's been talking about this GO stuff just confirmed this morning that apparently GO Barricade and Netflix Barricade are two separate entities, and the one we've seen is allegedly the GO one.

[Sowndwave76]

Smokescreen is the ER Autobot figure that opened the door to me even considering to buy any Autobot figures from these lines. Which also makes the Barricade figure very tempting.
I have Prowl & Ironhide on the way, & will definitely be trying to get Bluestreak.
Smokescreen has been ordered through Amazon, but for whatever reason, won’t get here for over a month.

But I’m really excited about the Datsun bros.
I think this mold is really good, & has better headsculpts & proportions than any previous “updated” releases.

It's a Target thing, they're too big to have fan interests at the forefront like most collectibles retailers. Places like TFSource or BBTS will just let you know there's a delay and move on, big box stores don't really understand delays and have been fumbling these pandemic delays pretty badly. Walmart isn't much better with entire orders getting canceled or infinitely stuck in their order system on the way to the fulfillment warehouse. For the most part it's all stuff that's readily available in stores (eventually) and just more convenient, especially when Target did that big sale back in February the same week Hasbro launched a bunch of pre-orders at Toy Fair, still receiving the benefits of that.

So if the Netflix version is still happening I guess that one will have battle damage.

Huh, so Bluestreak is a Walgreens Exclusive, picture comes from TFW2005 Board member NotoriousBSG82

Good to know... Although makes me worried he'll be impossible to find.

[-Kanrabat-]

So in Canada, I suppose it will be a E.B. Games exclusive?

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Cashed the recycling today for the first time in ages (finally resolved to drag the bins past the furniture pileup in the driveway), and bought Snapdragon. And I'm loving him so far! Although his right hand was really stiff about folding away at first, it almost seemed like it was stuck.


Am I the first to do a pic of him fighting Grimlock?

I swear if this ends up being the first one of the ER Datsuns I get....

Unless it's a... DOUBLE EXCLUSIVE!!! dun, Dun, DUN!!!

[william-james88]

So we went from having little news of Transformers Erthrise Bluestreak to basically having all the news. While Hasbro is still mum about this guy, Takara officially revealed him along with their release of Deluxe Centurion Drone (that's the toy's actual name) and the Paradon Medics set. There are links of all those below, which were provided by fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade. We also have a US sighting of Earthrise. He was found at Walgreens proving that this is this year's Walgreens exclusive. He was found by TFW2005 Board member NotoriousBSG82 in Louisville, Kentucky. We thank fellow Seibertronian Aronjlove for letting us know of this.

New preorders at TakaraTomy Mall:

ER EX-20 Paradron Medics
ER EX-21 Bluestreak
ER EX-22 Deluxe Centurion Drone
ER Set (EX-20-22)

All are TakaraTomy Mall exclusives. The ER Set is a bundle of the first three.

Of note is that the Centurion Drone has been renamed "Deluxe Centurion Drone". Yes, the "Deluxe" part is in its name and is not in reference to its size class.

It's also been given a small character description that states it to be "A drone soldier who protects Cybertron's supercomputer vector Sigma." This is based more on the cartoon Centurion Drones rather than the IDW ones that the toy is actually based on.

Ok, glad I asked, and glad I only pre-ordered Cheetor from Target. Might do other figures elsewhere.

I'll as again. Who will be selling ER Silverstreak in Canada?

[sol magnus]

There's still no official word on it. There's still no official word on the US release, a guy just found him in Walgreens.

If that's how it has worked in previous years, there's little reason to think it will change, but no one can truly answer your question as yet.

Hmmmm......

So far, all Walgreen exclusives have been E.B. Games exclusives. Maybe except for TR Brainstorm.

[Nemesis Destron]

It's too bad we can't get a Bluestreak with paint and colors like Combiners Bluestreak.
