Thanks to the Transformers Instagram account and Hasbro themselves, we have word that there have been a pair of reveals this Saturday morning, which includes 2 new figures and 2 reissues of older figures you all might not have gotten.

Up first, we have the long suspected Thundercracker and Skywarp from the Earthrise Starscream mold, which are being released in a 2-pack together. They both appear to be straight repaints of Starscream, with no alternate head immediately apparent.

And second, we have another 2-pack which features the Decepticon clones, which were originally released in Titans Return. These 2 clones, which consist of Pounce and Wingspan, appear to use the Takara decos. Whether or not the Autobot clones will be re-released to go with their counterparts is unknown.

These will both be Target exclusives.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think of them in the comments section below!

I'm pretty underwhelmed by this, but at least they are exclusives and not taking up mainline space. I don't plan to get either

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Skywarp has the new head in his standalone image, but the regular one in the one with Thundercracker

[ZeroWolf]

I'm going to need to track down those con clones. For some reason I have a weakness to flyers where the legs are used to make the wings so which rumoured listings have we still not seen yet?

[Flashwave]

Well the clones are good toys for anyone who needs them, but more repeats?? And from what, 5years ago?

Glad to see TC and Skywarp, but I need to see more before I commit to replacing my og Classics mold. What else you got Hasbro?

[Cobotron]

Yes, please, and thank you Mr. Skywarp!

This however does not make me think we will not be getting the other two coneheads in some form or the other down the line.

Looks like that screaming face found on that random Starscream. Guess time finally told.

Transformers: Generations -- War for Cybertron: Earthrise WFC-E29 Voyager Seeker 2-Pack

(Ages 8 and Up/Approx. Retail Price $59.99/ Available 7/3/2020)

Oh well, I was hoping for a small discount. They both look very good, TC is my fav and I'm a sucker for Seekers.

This however does not make me think we will not be getting the other two coneheads in some form or the other down the line.

I feel like the Coneheads are a given at this point. Probably will follow the established pattern of a single one getting a retail release and the other two some form of an exclusive.

[ZeroWolf]

Yes, please, and thank you Mr. Skywarp!

Never say never! There's still opportunity for the coneheads to come as either Amazon exclusives, or as Selects

[TF-fan kev777]

Last year's Target Rainmakers Seeker exclusive multipack retailed less than what three voyagers would normally cost. I wonder if this new 2pk will follow suit? I doubt it, but would be a good motivator to double triple sixtuple dip?, how many dips are we even up to now?

Too many

Ok, out of the Siege mold we have:

Starscream
Thundercracker
Skywarp
Red Wing
Ion Storm
Nova Storm
Acid Storm

7 in total.

Hotlink feels sad and left out...

[no-one]

LEt me reword that Z. I think we willl still get the other 2 coneheads. Eventually. Down the road.

[frogbat]

The seekers do look great in spite of some misgivings I have re the mould (think they could've done a couple of things better). Skipping the 1st three still and will wait for the coneheads.

Re wingspan and pounce, they're a good addition to any collection but always seem to be at a premium for what are quite small figures.

I can't remember off the top of my head. It was a rumors list, and I think it was Ramjet?
It was the same list (i.e. news post) that had these.

[ZeroWolf]

I think we had a listing for Thrust?

[Ig89ninja]

Phew, I’m glad I skipped on the Cybertronian seekers, that two pack will be a fine addition to my collection.

[Autobot N]

a fine addition to my collection.

[Ig89ninja]

Grievous 4.png

Yes, exactly!

[Sentinel_Primal]

There he is! Thundercracker looks great and while I like Skywarp, I'm probably going to give him to my friend who's been trying to find a decent voyager Skywarp. Only issue I have with them is that I want them now

[blackeyedprime]

Weird on the clones set but if they are going to still use reissues of older lines maybe we might see diaclone colored insecticons yet or standardised normal colored ones.

Still not sure on upgrading the classics seekers even if I'm missing most of them, but good to see them available.

[Skritz]

Ah well, just keep showing what **** tools we were to even buy a single Siege figure, huh? Myself included.

[1984forever]

Only issue I have with them is that I want them now

EXACTLY. With the exception of Universe Hound, the MP tapes, and Henkel Ratchet and Ironhide—I’ve switched out my entire ‘84 collection! Great job, Hasbro!

On the downside, since this is a summer Target release, I probably won’t be seeing these in my area until November. So I guess these guys are gonna cost me about $150 on eBay.

[Tigerhawk7109]

You know what? Screw it, I want my TC and my 'Warp!

[Wolfman Jake]

I predict we'll see the Autobot Clones 2-Pack announced as an Amazon exclusive soon enough. Furthermore, since we have the "rumored" listing for Earthrise Thrust coming down the line, I think we'll also see a Ramjet and Dirge two-pack, again, likely from Amazon.

[leokearon]

Hopefully some comic shop in Ireland will be able to get the clones, I have the Autobot clones and would love the cons
