Too bad there's no Leaders at any of my Walmarts, because I would love a Shockwave. Apparently other figures are on clearance too, such as the reissue Minibots and the first wave of Siege.

Yeah!

Further evidence. You'll note in the first pic, there were no leaders on the shelf, that's because I hid the one lone shockwave.





There was no way in hell I was ever going to pay $50 dollars for a voyager with armor. $35 though? Yeah, I'll give them that.

Bluestreak is WFC-S64.

Pretty sleek. But they gave him Prowl's head.

Have any of you wondered what Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Deluxe Mirage looks like from the back? Well now you can see it for yourself in these images from Dengeki Hobby. If there is one good thing from brand unification is that now even those getting Hasbro products can enjoy the Japanese marketing campaign, with better product images, for products they will find at retail.

We also have new and clear images of Transformers 35th Anniversary Bluestreak including the back of the box which shows him as WFC-S64. So there's your missing numbers for you! The images came from Ladypapa on e-bay who, while an e-bay seller, does get their products and images directly from Hasbro. This toy being available now on e-bay may hint that these 35th anniversary toys could be made available once they are revealed at SDCC next week. Or not, who knows.

WFC-S64 ?!? Well that changes things up a bit. So who will be 52-63? WFC part deux?

Bluestreak just keeps looking better and better; dem painted wheels.

Ahhh great way to start the day. Thanks Will!

Bluestreak’s vehicle mode I think looks the best out of the three AutoSeeker bros I mean that grey just totally works for me. Dang can’t wait to get these guys.

Found this on Twitter on Snakasblog it’s just a digibash but I dunno, if they did Crosshairs from Ironhide I could totally see this:

I thought I would be mad about Bluestreak's car mode door, but I like it, and it seems much more Cybertronian than the other "Autoseekers" (Thanks Stargrave! ) Car mode gives me "I, Robot" vibes, which is great since Cybertronian is supposed to look futuristic. Mirage still looks great, and he has a cool transformation.

Autoseekers? How about Seekars? Or more obviously, Seecars?

Eh, I like Praxians

Oooo Praxians I like that!
Yeah Will and I were trying to hammer that out at one point I think we got as far as Movars or Rovars hahaha Nono not that bad but I dunno it’s growing on me they’re the wing-backed counters to the Seekers and always have been.

I was looking over Bluestreak, and then suddenly, I ask, "What else can the Datsun mold be redecoed into?".

I mean, we have the Datsun trio, and Barricade, but then what?

I guess you could make one of these:


Just call him Covert Agent or something like that like G2 Sideswipe so we can "differentiate" the characters.

I was thinking of a yellow, brown, and silver redeco of Prowl to homage Beast Wars Prowl.

Maybe Autotroopers? Although I wouldn't mind some of those from the Siege Ironhide mold

I could see a Diaclone blue Bluestreak being a cool Selects release, but more likely a Taraka special. I know a few people who'd be down for that. I'm going get the main three Datbros and call it a day though. Skipping Barricade, until he gets his own Generations body. Not that I have a problem with the Seige version as I think it's quite the attractive deco, but I only need three of this mold. and three Refraktors and three Siege Seekers

Silverstreak?

I avoided Silverstreak because he is much too similar to "Bluestreak".

Ah you beat me to my edit. I noticed after I quoted, cut and posted that I cannot read. I missed the yellow and brown bits like a doof. I'll leave my foolish quote above as punishment

I do think you're right about changing the name though. It'd match G2Swipe and be very "on brand".

WOW. They missed the mark on prowl, but blue streak looks DAMN good.
I want this yesterday. Mirage looks decent aswell

Honestly, I think thats enough. Too many redecos is no fun for most fans.

I see no ports for weapons storage on mirage in vehicle mode. And he has two weapons, I mean, I see those 2 at the top, but those are HORRIFIC placements for weapons

I thought they would be the best place for vehicle mounted guns

No at all in my opinion. Either next to the driver's cockpit or mounted on the sides of the vehicle.
I go for a more realistic view, that the guns could rise up from the body of the car mode, like the 1989 Tim burton batmobile.
2 guns lopsided hanging from a spoiler?! Cmon bro

Considering the big ass block of bot arms under the "spoiler", it would seem possible and logical to store weapons in there

But your point is valid.

That also enables weapons mounted on his upper arms in robot mode, which is standard placement for Siege.

And you're not wrong, but "this robot that turns into a space car based on an F1 racer (but not really) needs more realistic laser gun placement" ...

Well, that's not a thought I had, but you do you.

That's true too, it was just a thought I had

I'm the opposite. I never liked that silver on any iteration of Bluestreak. That's why I would like the blue repaint. *Stands over Strada with the stick.* It's never enough!

I thought realism was a word we left at the door when entering this hobby
