Blahbity Blah Blah...

Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused by this delay.

Honestly after last nights PREORDERAPALOOZA, I don't actually remember what the EAD originally was.

It's fine. Spread them out. My wallet will thank you.
But, did anyone else or everyone else get this?

Yep, I just got it too. I think the original date was somewhere in September, but I can't keep track either. I also got one for the Alphastrike set last night pushing it from early August to the same date later in August as the Phantomstrike set.

I also have no problem spreading out the payments. As long as Pulse keeps that reflector set on target.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fresh from his recent appearance at SDCC, Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Deluxe Class Ratchet has been found in a Toy's R Us in Hong Kong! And it wasn't just one that was found either but a whole shelf full. The sighting appears couresty of fellow Seibertron user, TFanPage101, who found it on the Snakas blog, who presented the picture. According to Snakas, the image was posted to the HK-TF Facebook group.



It's been known for a while now that Siege Ratchet was going to be a Walgreens exclusive in the USA, but was unclear what that meant for fans elsewhere but this does mean they could show up at other stores. We'll have more news for you as we get it.

Siege Ratchet is a redeco and slight retool of Wave Two Deluxe Class Ironhide. Instead of coming with Ironhide's weapon, he comes with his own unique weapon and has a third mode of sorts where he can fix Micromasters.

You looking to get Ratchet? Does this spell good news for you? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

But we can't get it until Christmas?

[Sentinel_Primal]

I can't wait for Ratchet. I hope they fixed the hinges though

[Cobotron]

But we can't get it until Christmas?

Maybe more like Oct-Nov?
I wonder though, if these are already produced, could we see them earlier?

I hope so, especially since the pre-ordering with Walgreens was bunkum.

Any possibility for the "outsiders" can't get him in USA?

Takara release import?

They did it with POTP Wreckgar, so that's a possibility.

Don't forget Grotusque and Repugnus in a two-pack since Japan did not get these retool initially, being TRU and Amazon exclusives.

Not from walgreens, been that way for years now.

Yep, definitely won't see him in Walgreens until they reset the stores ahead of Christmas. Was that way with Brainstorm, the Clones and Wreck Gar. Most other countries that will be getting him will have him a few months ahead of the US. Robot Kingdom should have them pretty early as well. I remember seriously considering pulling the trigger on the clones from robot Kingdom because of how the tail end of TR was winding down and not wanting to miss them. Glad I waited, as they were everywhere once they showed up. Hell one store by me still has one on the shelf.

we could possibly see him for order at robotkingdom soon

[Vic Zanzibar]

I'm glad so many of y'all love the new Astrotrain, but I'm gonna be skipping him. All of the extra bits just seem like stuff that will need to be stored outside of the shelf he'll be displayed on like has happened for me with Siege Shockwave. Also, without a lot of that mass, he presumably won't be much larger than the already very well-designed TR version that I am a huge fan of. Thus, there is no reason for me to spend $50 for a figure who won't be an upgrade over what I have.

We first found out about the 2018 Wreck-Gar in July 2017 and our first look at the figure was finished figure in March 2018 and was in Taiwanese stores in July 2018 (at which point Hasbro still hadn't officially announced him yet), yet we still had to wait until November to buy him. Definitely not coming early.

John Warden interview:



Among the things discussed...

* Siege has been so popular that Hasbro added a Wave 5 to the line.
* Leader Astrotrain is based directly on the G1 cartoon model sheet with cartoon-accurate colors. Included with him is a weapons box that holds a lot of weapons and becomes a tender for the steam train mode and opens up to become a launch gantry in shuttle mode.
* The launch gantry is indeed compatible with the likes of Omega Supreme, Fortress Maximus, and Titans Return Soundwave.
* Warden calls the two Decepticon Micromasters who combine together in vehicle mode "Duocons"
* Warden acknowledges Rung as the popular IDW character that he is, along with Rumble and Ratbat (yes, this Rumble toy is RIRFIB/FIBRIR)
* The Battle Master next to Spinister is identified as Singe
* Confirms Apeface to be completely backwards-compatible with Titans Return Titan Masters.
* Warden pronounces Orthia's name as "Or-THEE-uh"
* Warden calls Ricon a "brand new truck Transformer", suggesting him to be an all new character despite everyone else in the set being a preexisting character.
* He also pronounces Ricon's name as "Ry-con"
* Omega Supreme is expected to ship in the Fall, contrary to some places listing him as an August release. They wanna make sure that Omega is done right, so he's set for a Fall release, not August.
* Warden says Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime is based on the "Armada series"
* Voyager Thundercracker is said to be in the lighter blue of the cartoon
* Confirms that Soundblaster can hold two tapes inside his chest
