The funny thing is the same Walmart that has all those 35th figures is the same Walmart I got Starscream and Grapple from. They only ever (that I saw) got the Voyagers - nothing else.

I'm the opposite, compete a seeker selection. I'm hoping for some strange coneheads and a few vanilla ER seekers to finish the collection, or more Siege tetrajets.

Distribution has been wonky, I have not seen more than the battle/micros at the same store yet

I chose to stick with the main three seekers with Siege, but if they make any of the coneheads (besides Thrust, who we know we're getting) I will be getting them. I had to keep some standards of fiscal responsibility with my collecting, so I couldn't get everything. Now I have a son who's gone full on Transformers crazy to boot, but that's my fault.

I'm pretty much piecing together the missing pieces of my cons, which includes most of the seekers. I only had the FOC deluxes for Skywarp prior to Siege, with PotP being my Starscream and CW being my big Thundercracker. That blue was so beautiful on him.

Other than that, my seekers were slim, and I have a lot of the rest in some form now. Now it's filling in those blanks, and I really like owning more 3rd tier figures. It's part of why Redwing is my favorite Seeker so far

At Wal-Mart the Netflix figures, all 3 sizes, have their own spots on the shelf and pegs. They don't get mixed with the Siege and Earthrise stuff, so I doubt having an abundance of Siege has any effect on the Netflix line.

Maybe at your stores, but near me, the deluxes are just mixed in with Siege. Voyagers and Leader/spoiler box have their own spots, but they also have a different price. No different price tag for the deluxes.

The deluxes are 1.27 more than Siege figures at Walmart.

I went to the Walmart I mentioned with all the 35th and Megatrons. They also had a Thundercracker. The bad news for me was they had spots for ALL the Netflix figures, but none of the Voyagers or Leader were present. Not one.

At the Walmart I picked my figures up at, the Netflix deluxes were $19.87 while normally Siege or SS deluxes are $19.99. The Megatron pack with two Battlemasters was $39.87. No idea for the price difference but I noticed my pre-order for Decepticon Mirage was also $19.87 when I came home and canceled it after finding the figure in the store.

Just did the same, they have half the deluxe wave and a single Magnus. They had a spot for the voyagers, but no voyagers.

Robbed!

My Walmart (and all the ones in my area) sell Deluxes for 18.88 plus tax. I still have a receipt where I got the Deluxes and Ironworks on the same receipt. I'll check it, but I remember him being less and the Netflix guys being more.

Just purchased Barricade last weekend and the ammount of weapon choices is amazing.

1 - one in a shoulder/other in hand
2 - both in shoulder mounts
3 - a twin blaster
4 - and my favorite dual wielding in separate hands

However my Barricade does not seem to have loose hips unlike my siege prowl and his left hip. did i get lucky or did recolors after Prowl fix the issues among those and Smokescreen and Bluestreak.

Found this on Twitter, looks like more Netflix figures are coming...

News Credits: 20 · by **Rodimus Prime** » Wed May 13, 2020 7:38 pm

A deluxe Elita? Is that new or did I miss it from before?

News Credits: 3 · by **Sentinel_Primal** » Wed May 13, 2020 7:52 pm

On the plus side, it's nice to see a which line Bumblebee's in. Though, since it's Siege, I'm now more inclined to believe that it'll be "Cybertronian", like Sideswipe, Hound and Optimus, not Cybertronian like Starscream, Soundwave, and Chromia. Still, if that SELECTS rumor for Bugbite is true, at least they won't stand out too much

News Credits: 10 · by **Nemesis Primal** » Wed May 13, 2020 8:11 pm

...I'm going to take a guess and say that this is a combination of two waves of product, as that is both significantly more figures than the first wave had and it's a combination of Siege and Earthrise molds, so Wheeljack, the Quint, and Bumblebee are definitely Earthrise Netflix guys, which further confirms that a regular Bumblebee is coming at some point. Elita I think is going to be a Chromia retool, based off her comic/show trailer design, which would I guess make her round off the second Siege Deluxe wave at 5 like the first one, assuming the other 4 are Seige as well to get all the Teletraan pieces in play. She would be the first actual retool in this Netflix "line", though, interesting. Deep Cover is an interesting addition, nice to see him around, and I'm going to hope that some of these redos have some Mirage-style new decos to make them interesting (especially given this would be the third use of the Impactor mold on the SAME character, and STILL no Demolishor).

...actually, speaking of Mirage-style new decos, that would be a perfect way for them to stealth-release Slicer if they wanted, just claim he's "Decepticon Wheeljack" or pull a Prime and claim "Dark Energon Wheeljack" and let the fans use him as they please.

Shame there's nothing about Voyagers though, I still have a mighty need for Tetrajet Sunstorm, and if they have no qualms about releasing the Sideswipe mold 3 times in this subline then there continues to be no excuse for the lack of Detritus.

News Credits: 53 · by **Deadput** » Wed May 13, 2020 8:31 pm

Depends on who is in the show if this is indeed related to the Netflix show, I presume this confirms Deep Cover in the show which would be rad. (if he's a straight repaint of Sideswipe/Red Alert then it would be quite easy to put him in the show if one wanted to much like how any character who is a repaint of another could be)

I presume characters like him and Scrapface will be mauve/red shirt characters who are notable enough to not be generics but are still killed off so that the show won't have to resort to killing more notable characters like Hound, Skywarp, etc as much.

That's my assumption as well. I didn't expect to see Bumblebee debut in the Netflix subline, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense. I'm with you 100% about Sunstorm, too, and I really hope this Impactor uses the IDW headsculpt. He won't, though, I'm never that lucky.

Thanks to several Seibertronians, we have news of potential further releases for the Netflix subline of War for Cybertron figures. From a thread on Google Groups, a Walmart employee by the screenname Zobovor was looking around in the computer and found listings for Deluxe figures from the Netflix line. These figures were listed at their own pricepoint and listing separate from regular Siege Deluxe figures. Take a look at the screenshot below.

So it seems that Bumblebee might finally make an appearance in a current toyline, after not having a Generations figure since Titans Return in 2016. Not only that, but we may be getting a figure of Deep Cover, a character first released by Ehobby in the early 2000s as a G1 Sideswipe recolor in a Diaclone color scheme.

Other possible figures include a Quintesson, Elita 1, Wheeljack, Red Alert, Barricade, and Impactor. As we don't have official confirmation of these figures, please take them with a grain of salt until we have news from Hasbro to share.

So what do you all make of these listings? Fo you think these figures will be new? Remolds? Recolors? Repaints? Feel free to speculate below, and stay tuned to Seibertron for all your Transformers news!

News Credits: 3 · by **Sentinel_Primal** » Wed May 13, 2020 10:34 pm

Hm... I kind of like Deep Cover's colors and think he could make a decent stand in for G2 Sideswipe if one doesn't want to get the Furestormers pack. Assuming of course that the new guy IS designed like that and not just a name reuse for a different character

Hey, the listing I clicked on took me to that post, and it was Google Groups. >:oP

I was out of collecting when the fandom was in its infancy on the 'Net, so that alt.toys.transformers doesn't have any nostalgia for me.

Absolutely incredible to me that people still actively post on formerly-Usenet groups.

Would be nice if deepcover is a new mold so that an earthrise sideswipe can be less of a block. I'd pick barricade up if he's a mirage repaint even tho I really dislike the alt mode.

Not keen on er wheeljack so I'm doubting I'll be wanting a netflix repaint. Looks like their is a lot more I'll be interested in on the second netflix wave. I can't see myself needing another impactor unless it's vastly different though I'd prefer a non idw head version other the one I have.

by **Skritz** » Thu May 14, 2020 8:17 am

If this is true: remember when I brought up Elita-1 and people went "Nawwww, not likely"? Also hell yeah Deep Cover, an E-Hobby era redeco.

What if it isn't a repaint? There were rumors for so long about MTMTE Bumblebee and Wheeljack (for clarity, the Sunbow saucer and space van) for so long in the lead up to and during Siege, maybe they've landed here as exclusives?

I'm doubting that with siege only having a few figures with full cybertronian modes and netflix series being just repaints so far. I'll be happy if a Green Grapple/ehobby hauler shows up in netflix or selects. Wondering what/if any cardboard background comes with wave 2 deluxes

According to TFwiki, there are 10 pieces that makeup Teletraan 1, one in each deluxe. Wave 1 of Netflix is only five deluxes: Chromia, Hound, Sideswipe, Scrapface, and Decepticon Mirage. I'm guessing the next five will be in wave 2.
