Did you mean Sunstorm?

No

After I customized mine, here come Greenlight and Lancer! Figures...

Those look very good! And Ultra Markus, if Starscream ever gets completed, it should be with Skywarp and Thundercracker, using the deluxe Starscream mold.

Very nice work! You should show those off in the customization forum, if you haven't already.

or any of the other seekers would work too

Well dangit. Now I am going to have 1 leftover combiner limb!

Believe me, I am super glad we are getting Lancer and thus the 3rd all female scramble city combiner. But uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.

So now, I'll have Wreck Gar, Jazz, Ricochet, Sunstreaker, and Prowl to choose from for Infernocus/Sky Reign. with 1 left over.

True. But the fact that those 2 didn't see release as repaints of either sized Starscream is a huge oversight on Hasbro's part.

Thanks man! I may just do that!

I highly doubt Hasbro is going to make a Lancer figure just for the sake of giving fans another all female combiner. I don’t think Hasbro has much faith that the female figures they produce are even going to sell well. Moonracer was shortpacked and Novastar came in a wave that Hasbro knew many retailers would skip, so there’s probably a lot less Novastars made than say, Sinnertwins, because of this. Plus, with the way Greenlight is packaged, I wouldn’t expect her to be as plentiful as say, Chromia- who herself is included in a wave which retailers often neglect- and I expect Chromia to also be shortpacked as well.

I’m guessing that Orthia’s right leg is classified because it’s just Hasbro’s way of saying “you can put whoever you want in this spot, kids.”

Odds are if we get Lancer, and I would say odds are fair to good, she'll be an exclusive like Greenlight is and I am very confidant that the Exclusive Market will support her. I would be inclined to agree with you if we were talking about a mainline release,

Well, you never know what might happen. That's what I've noticed with Generations from Prime Wars onward. We saw things we never expected.

I very much disagree with this. Considering the fan votes where a female was involved has the female winning 2 of the 3 (Windblade and Victorion) and the 3rd was beaten by the Beast Era, and considering they are gradually giving us more girls, such as in cyberverse and even the mainline Generations line, I think the girls are doing well.

Moonracer was shortpacked with Blackwing cause the remaining 3 were Dinobots and Terrorcons, 2 that had set combiners being sold in the line. And she was included in revision waves and i think pretty much everyone got the Novastar they wanted, and there are no reports of her or Moonracer sitting on shelves anywhere.

And Greenlight is going to be much like Red Swoop and Ricochet, an exclusive, cause we are getting more of these now, and those exclusives are pandering to us who want things like to finish the teams. And considering the picture with 4 of the same mold, I would highly doubt Lancer isn't coming. and Classified most likely means "You'll get the reveal soon, maybe at Toy Fair"

Since there was an Ultra Magnus sighting in the St. Louis area, I was on the lookout for the past few days. Finally struck gold at the Belleville Walmart...not Ultra Magnus, but Shockwave. Woo.

Whether Shockwave is worth $50 really depends on what $50 is worth to you. I've enjoyed him a lot. I like his accessories, and am convinced there's a way to make a lab-assistant drone with the parts.

May I say a job very well done. I especially like how you redid Elita-1 so that the palettes for robot and torso mode are distinct.

Speaking of Red Swoop, there's 0% chance of a deluxe Sideswipe with a combiner port coming out, since we just got Siege Sideswipe, right? How about a non-UW Ratchet?

Walgreens exclusive Ratchet, more than likely out of Ironhide. Maybe, just maybe it's a UW redeco, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I'd be more than happy if it's the latter case though, Inferno needs limbs.

We don't know, it's one of those things somebody found in a database randomly. Same way we found out about wreck-gar, but we also found out about him several years before he came out. Best guess is probably either late this year or next year but that is just a guess

I believe it is this years 'walgreens exclusive', and if it follows the pattern of wreck-gar and brainstorm, expect to find him around october/november-ish

Transformers Siege Ratchet on Walgreens database

Like Greenlight is placed between Waves 1 and 2, Ratchet may end up between Waves 2 and 3 with the rest of the leaked exclusives.

I personally hope for him to be a new-head redeco of Ironhide.

There’s no reports of Moonracer or Novastar shelfwarming because they have to make it to the shelves first in order to warm them up. I never saw either fembot at retail. Not saying they weren’t there, I’m just saying that they were barely there, which is why there’s no reports of them shelfwarming anywhere. The odds of a fembot ever showing up in a wave 1 assortment are quite low because Hasbro doesn’t expect them to be big sellers- no matter what the fan polls say.

I saw Moonracer and Elita come and go while having a decent but not overly long stay, I saw Novastar show up, and I saw the revision wave Moonracer.

Well, I for one can firmly report that, as of last night, the Moonracer I've seen shelfwarming at the Walgreens across the street from where I work, is still there, sitting unsold with two Wreck-Gars, two Slugs, a Rippersnapper, and even the old TR Cloudraker/Wingspan two-pack.
