Elita 1 huh? Using the Chromia mold too, I bet.

Hm. I think I'll pass. It's a bit tempting, but if I went that route I'd also have to get Siege Chromia. And, TBH, I'm not thrilled at that mold.

[Tuned Agent]

Elita-1 is interesting, but I really hope she's not a retool of Chromia. Most of the other fembots already look really similar, some variety would be nice.

As for Cheetor, this listing has me excited. But as credible as it is, there's a large part of me that'll only believe it when I see it.

WFC... Netflix... Deluxe class... CHEETOR!!!

Hmmm...would they dare re-relelese a 12 year old toy (universe/Henkei) Cheetor with a new paint scheme? I just don't see how they could come up with a new figure in a short period of time.

There is Cyberverse Cheetor.

Or, what most are expecting, a Siege toy (like Sideswipe or Prowl) merely redecoed as a Cybertronian Cheetor.

[Sentinel_Primal]

Honestly, until the figure is released, I'm not getting my hopes up for Cheetor. I've seen some people speculating that it might be "Pre-Earth Cheetor" but really it's just Tigertracks and they needed to keep the trademark for Cheetor.

As hopeful as I am that they might do something next year for Beast Wars, I'm still skeptical, and if anything this listing actually makes me feel a little cynical because if it's a repaint of Sideswipe, they may call it quits there and say "We celebrated Beast Wars!" which I'd find more insulting than if they just didn't do anything.

Though, I am now curious as to why Cheetor. He was in Cyberverse, but I can't really imagine that they'd do Cheetor rather than either Megatron or Primal who are arguably more iconic and easy to sell because of the heads being similar to the G1 Megatron and Prime

I'm fine if it mean we get Tigertrack.

Don't give Warden some ideas.

[Deadput]

As unlikely as it is, just because the Netflix line started as repaints doesn't mean it only has to contain repaints.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

And everyone missed the joke. Look at the TR boxsets

Anyway, thanks to Emerje, I was able to dissect the mixed listings by looking at the product codes and the trends they follow. With a fair amount of certainty, this is what we may get for WFC:

Battle Masters
Firedrive
Lionizer

Micro Masters
Battle Patrol
Race Car Patrol
Rescue Patrol
Spy Patrol (possibly the missing half of an already released team)
Rescue Patrol
Sports Car Patrol
Road Patrol

Deluxe Class
Sideswipe
Chromia
Ironhide
Autobot Hound
Prowl
Cog
Sixgun

Voyager Class
Optimus Prime
Megatron
Starscream
Thundercracker
Autobot Springer

Leader Class
Ultra Magnus
Optimus Prime?

Yes, we have a Leader Class Shockwave, BUT that may actually be for the Studio Series and not WFC (how does movie Shockwave size to Prime anyway?). This list is nowhere near a certainty, but educated guesses with firm bases.

Looking Back,
Damn you hit all the notes

Amazingly, with the info available at the time (Leader Shockwave was in both SS and WFC, which we didn't know at the time, with the same type of "Cheat" no less). Soundwave's cassettes were the biggest surprises, really.

Well, do we know the full cast of the show?

What we know so far of the cast is here.

We know a good chunk of the cast but that doesn't inherently mean we know all of them, there were several characters present in the trailer that were not part of the voice cast announcement and vice-versa, Cliffjumper is in the show as announced in the voice cast list but there wasn't any sign of him in the trailer, Barricade is in the show but not in the voice cast list, this could mean that characters like him and Hound go unvoiced but who knows.

So characters like Deep Cover and Cheetor could very will be minor characters, cameos or spoiler related characters such as how the spoiler box set contains not only Ultra Magnus but Rung as well, the latter of which we do not see in either the cast announcement or the show trailer

Of course they could be toy line only characters.

The spoiler in that set isn't Rung. It's some Cybertronian text written on the inside of the box.

I didn't say that it was, but his presence in the box despite normal Rung not coming with Ultra Magnus probably means something right?

Whatever the case, Rung's inclusion was already given away by a product page for the set that revealed all of its contents except for the spoiler text and Magnus's charred deco.

The only reason I even put Rung's name in spoilers was because of consideration for people who might of been avoiding the topic, it had nothing to do what was considered the actual spoilery contents of the box.

Just because something was given away in a product description (since descriptions can and will make mistakes at times) doesn't exactly mean it was meant to be given away.

[Rodimus Prime]

Finally my Wal-Mart got the Spoiler box in along with Hotlink and Megatron. I was tempted to get one of them but I already have Magnus and the extras aren't worth spending the cash.

Fellow Seibertronian JT Prime found another listing on the Walmart app, this time for a deluxe Cheetor. According to the grouping it was found under, it would be within the Transformers Siege subline exclusive to Walmart for the Netflix show. There can always be an error of course, we'll keep you updated if we get more news.

If anyone wants to verify the listing them selves, it’s as easy as downloading the Walmart mobile app and following these steps. It brings up all the same basic info that scanning it in store would, besides the SKU number if the listing is still locked.

Here’s also all the EANs for the rest of the rumored figures.

Bumblebee: EAN # 5010993782178
Elita-1: EAN # 5010993782161
Wheeljack: EAN # 5010993782123
Red Alert: EAN # 5010993782116
Impactor: EAN # 5010993782864
Deep Cover: EAN # 5010993777501
Barricade: EAN # 5010993777495
Quintesson: EAN # 5010993777525
Cheetor: EAN # 5010993777549

I still think its a repaint or head retool of a car bot (or a Ravage or Lionizer repaint sold at a premium!), as I don't imagine him having a cheetah mode on Cybertron.

If Hasbro got cheeky and did a car mode:

Or

[Rodimus Prime]

It's clearly labeled a deluxe so I doubt it would be a repainted battlemaster or cassette. A car mode? That I can see fairly easily. So if he's not an all-new mold, whose repaint could he be? We haven't seen the Siege Datsun mold in the Netflix line, right?

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Honestly, Cheetor was the best possible redeco of the Animated Blurr mold considering it was based on TransTech Cheetor in the first

We haven't. But my money would be on the Sideswipe mold.

Here's what I'm hoping he's not: The 2008 mold hauled out of storage.

So long as it has cheetor's head sculpt I actually think he could pull off the datsun mold, but I think the sideswipe mold works too

But them I realized since cheetor is fast, it could be a yellow mirage

[Skritz]

Cheetor can absolutely pull the Datsun body type if you remember his transformation (as the original Cheetor mold) is very much of that same type and shape, with the front/head as chest and kibble as flaring 'wings'. He even has the Prowl-esque headcrest.

Cheetor was basically the BW Datsun already!

[Stormshot_Prime]

I feel like once again we're going to have a single/ few Beast Wars characters supplanted into a new G1 continuity, because god forbid we get a line/series that isn't a G1 rehash.

But if this Cheetor had a vehicle mode opposed to a Beast Mode, I will admit that would awesome and a better way to stuff other continuity characters into G1.

I wasn't particularly liking the idea of Cheetor on the Siege Datsun mold, cuz I don't feel like its proportions fit him very well, but then I thought: what if it wasn't the Siege Datsun mold, but instead the Earthrise Datsun mold? I think its greater legginess would be a good fit, and it would be even cooler to see an actual Earth-style car painted like a cheetah.
