I'm the only one who can't find that 2pack (R&L) pre-order live on Amazon?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08557NFF2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EsdsFbAWKAWFV?tag=seibertron07-20&&pldnSite=1

Nope...simply when i click the page is blank or give me errors

For me, it shows up as out of stock with that link. The Seibertron link straight up redirects me to amazon's homepage.

That's odd

yeah still shows up as available for pre-order; maybe its a compatibility thing

Both links take me to a still in-stock listing. @Rtron maybe try a different browser?

[Ultra Mad]

I was able tu find the page but they are listed as no longer available.

If you folks that cannot find it are not in the US, that could be why. I'm seeing several posts on Twitter from people complaining about another US-only exclusive, which I find somewhat understandable. It is freaking 2020 and international shipping is not magic.

I'm willing to get this is how we get Thrust and maybe a Barricade.

Thrust has his own number, E26, and a Target listing for just him, whereas this set doesn't have any numbering as far as we know, so Thrust shouldn't be in one of these, and I think the running theory is that the listing for Netflix Barricade is going to be an ER Barricade.

i would love to see some more seekers come out of this.

Anyone else got any ideas?

From which Seeker mold though, Siege or Earthrise? Now that I have my Dirge and Ramjet, I have experienced both molds, and I still would prefer to keep using the Siege Tetrajet mold for the missing non-Conehead Seekers (especially so potential Sunstorm and Bitstream releases would match Hotlink) with the exception of maybe Slipstream, I think the ER mold most suits the retooling she would need.

As long as I get him, I'm not gonna be picky about which mold he is

Same. I'd prefer the Siege mold, but as long as we get a Sunstorm I'm fine either way.

[Gauntlet101010]

For Sunstorm I'd prefer the ER body. I mainly know him from Dreamwave and I don't really associate him with the other "Welcoming committee" members.

The link for Ratchet / Lifeline doesn't seem to be working for me. I already have FunPub's Lifeline. I guess she can be a different medic? Were there more than one in that one episode?

I'm not in the US, so it may be this. Pretty weird that it doesn't just say "Does not ship to your country" instead of doing weird shenanigans.

I would prefer the Siege mold for Bitstream and Sunstorm, the standard seeker body for Slipstream and Blackout, and a combo of the standard/conehead seeker body for Nacelle.

I'm also hoping this is the last hurrah for this number of figures. How many figures are we getting this year? The amount of exclusives is insane, between netflix, selects, these boxsets on Amazon, Centurion drone, there are so damn many! They are redoing almost every figure from last year plus a whole other years worth of figures basically.

I hope kingdom is a return to somewhat normal, I think we have hit the point of too many figure releases

[Gauntlet101010]

The link here seems to be incorrect. TFW has a working link ... and it seems to be out of stock anyway.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08557NFF2/

Guess it's another recent TF I'll have to pay stupid prices for, geez.

[Ultra Mad]

Same here. I really hate how Hasbro handles distribution some time...

[trouvadour62]

I really want the new Ratchet, but I strongly dislike this Arcee mold. It looks like I'm just going to have to pony up the money, and hate myself in the morning.

I promise you will be able to sell the medic figure, arcee sold out everywhere, so I'm sure someone would take it off you

You could always give Lifeline a chance, and if you don't like her, sell her to someone else. She's an army builder, so you'll have no problem finding a buyer.

Me personally, I don't mind the mold (I'm okay with removable kibble if it makes the bot mode look better), and Ratchet was always the van guy I wanted anyway, so I'm really looking forward to this set. Now that I think about it, I'm probably gonna end up buying all 3 verisons of this mold, since I've got Arcee and Elita-1 on pre order already.

Still says in stock for me. What's up with this listing?

[Sowndwave76]

Yeah, I'm interested in Ratchet, but really don't want Lifeline. They both look like good figures...
As is, looks like I'm in for MP Starscream, and there's still the SS '86 Movie figures on the docket.
So this medics 2 pack may be a pass for me.

Maybe it's being restricted because I'm in Canada? I've never had Amazon say something just isn't in stock before ... just that it couldn't ship to me.

Edit: Just tried through a VPN. Yep, it's because I'm in Canada. Weird way to handle it.

Most of the issues do seem to be from non-US people, so that's likely it.

Hey guys, just joined wanted to share this amazing coincidence, I just received my hotlink and megaton toys and the posting reference code is ALL-R1 ha ha I’m not sure how to post an image in here can anyone help?

What's most interesting about Ratchet is how wrong the leaks and rumors have been. I'm pretty sure none of them actually said he'd be packed with Lifeline, just that they were both being made, I think it was just our own speculation that they'd be paired together.

Rumor: Ratchet will be a Walgreens exclusive again. Nope.
Speculation: Ratchet would have a retail release because Ironhide is an exclusive. Nope.
Leak: Ratchet is a Selects figure. No, but easy to see how the mistake would be made coming in the cardboard box.
Leak: Ratchet is a Leader class release. No, but maybe they based that on the size of the box?
Most recent leak: Ratchet comes with a number of tools like the Siege version: Surprisingly not true.

If that last leak did see a number of tools that could mean we do have another weapons pack coming soon like with the Centurion drone.

Dominus: Some sort of Headmaster/Targetmaster-affiliated character? (Artfire from ER Grapple/Kingdom G1 Inferno?)

Alternatively it could be the resting place for those unreleased ER Battle Masters that we saw designs leaked for, maybe also include repaints of Soundbarrier, Slitherfang, and Doublecrosser for a 5-pack.

Yay! So glad Ratchet is being released in the near future, and the Lifeline Paradron Medic figure is a great bonus too. I'm going to keep my TFSS Lifeline as the character lifeline, and this "Earthrise" version will be a generic Paradron Medic. In fact, I ordered three sets to "army" build. Is it still army building if the characters are pacifists?

Anyway, I only need one Ratchet figure, so I'm looking to sell the extra two. Is anyone looking to get just Earthrise Ratchet and skip on Lifeline/Paradron Medic? If so, please PM me.

Wait, what!? I don't remember seeing or reading about thee supposed unreleased Earthrise Battle Masters before. Where can I find them?

[TulioDude]

Ratchet and Lifeline look nice.
I hope they repaint Ratchet with the red helmet coloration he has in the comics.
