Have we found out what's the spoiler in the Ultra Magnus box?

I'm not too sure, honestly.

It's the story spoilers printed in Cybertronian text on the inside of the box.

Yeah, but do we know exactly what that is though? Has that text in full been reported anywhere online?

Have we found out what's the spoiler in the Ultra Magnus box?

Yep, it's a teaser for how the Netflix series is going to pan out, with major spoilers for the entire run. The spoiler itself is easily seen when one looks at the deco Magnus was given.

Disappointment.

I found the deluxes and voyagers at a Walmart in KY today. No sign of Magnus.

BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE...

The SS voyager Megatrons are silver. They're brighter than Netflix Megatron.

How pissed would you be if you found out this Chromia has a combiner peg?

Honestly, it would make me want her more because there would be more than just dirt effects to distinguish her from the Siege version

Me too. But I would be a bit upset about buying the previous version, which could have had the peg just as easily.

At we know it does not have one.

Actually I'd be ecstatic. I didn't purchase the previous version for that very reason, and I need one more Autobot to complete the Inferno combiner.... But we know it doesn't , as stated so, Meh....

I'm only interested in the Battle Masters from Hotlink, Megatron, and Ultra Magnus (not the toys themselves), haven't seen any sold separately on eBay yet, but if I find the toys in stores first, I'll just purchase them, and sell the toys separately.

You don't want Hotlink? But he's soooo pretty!

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

I think Hotlink would look better if purple had been his base plastic color. I want a Hotlink in my collection, but I might just get and repaint a Starscream instead of getting the official Hotlink toy, because of how it was executed.

Regarding Chromia not having a combiner peg... She doesn't have one for the same reason that SIEGE toys larger than Battle Masters don't have ball joints except in the neck: The C.O.M.B.A.T. system. The central peghole for a combiner appendage wouldn't have played nice with the pegholes in both feet + ankle rockers required for the C.O.M.B.A.T. gimmick. Without that central peghole, she wouldn't be able to function as a limb, and so a combiner peg would be pointless.

For a seeker, he does look cool, but I don't collect them.

For anyone still looking for Ratbat and Rumble, Entertainment Earth says they are restocking the wave 5 micromasters soon. You would have to buy them with Direct Hit and Power Punch, but at least both are at retail price.

AWE YEAH! Thanks for that heads up Kev!!
I wanted and needed both those little sets. Trigger pulled. Crisis averted.

[TF-fan kev777]

Glad I could help Cobs!

Meanwhile on the pool table...

Crosshairs: So Trenchfoot, um, sorry pal, but this means you'll have to find another partner.

Sad Trenchfoot: Um hey guys, is it okay if I join back up with your crew again? I really suck at aiming myself.
Grand Slam: *shrugs*
G2 Sideswipe: Sure, Hasbro didn't give me my rifle, I'm sure you and I will get along fine.

Displaced Battlemasters 2.jpg

Not Lionizer Anymore: Um hey fellas, any chance you could use a sword-cat? I also seem to need a new name, any thoughts?
G2 Sideswipe: Sure, I'm all for more weapons. Welcome aboard, I shall call you Frostbiter.

And there resolves the partnering and duplicate names/bots from buying the Netflix Megatron set that I was originally going to pass on, but my lack of impulse control bought anyway yesterday when I saw them in hand.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Trenchfoot is the reason I'm not bothered to get Netflix Megatron, since the only real reason I would want that set is the battlemasters.

I gave one of my six Smashdown to G2 Sideswipe, and it works out really well! regular Swipe has Lionizer

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian TF-fan kev777, we have news that the hard to find final wave of War for Cybertron Siege Micromasters will be seeing a restock at Entertainment Earth for retail price!

The final wave of the Siege Micromasters proved to be a hard to find wave, as there were very few sightings and even fewer online listings. This wave consists of the Battle Squad (Direct-hit and Power Punch) and the highly sought after Soundwave Spy Patrol 2 (Ratbat and Rumble). The listing on Entertainment Earth is for both sets, and is listed as $19.99, which is retail price for the wave. You will need to pay shipping, as Entertainment Earth shipping is only free on in-stock orders over $79, but it is far better than paying ebay prices for these guys.

Check out the listing, and let us know if you pre-order these guys and finally secure them below!

Is there any noticeable difference between Trenchfoot and Pinpointer?

Is there any noticeable difference between Trenchfoot and Pinpointer?

Trenchfoot:


Pinpointer (CG render):

[D-Maximal_Primal]

So really only the 5mm peg location and the 1 vs 2 barrels for the gun

[Omegatron.]

Plus the head, chest, arms, and legs. Actually, the only thing they share is the colour scheme (and even then Trenchfoot has the white on his torso and yellow on his visor).

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Compared to Trenchfoot, Siege Pinpointer is closer to the G1 version with the rounded shoulders, head and colors, despite being a redeco of Firedrive:


Transformers G1 1987 Pinpointer Gallery

Although in the Headmasters Anime, he did have a yellow visor, like Trenchmouth. But the added white ties the latter specifically to Covert Clone (aka G2) Sideswipe.

[Sabrblade]

So really only the 5mm peg location and the 1 vs 2 barrels for the gun

And the fact that they're two entirely different molds.
