My ER Smokescreen showed up today!
I've had great luck with Amazon... So he was "packaged" in a mailer envelope...
And yet is in basically perfect condition!

I'm going to start looking for Bluestreak. Probably this evening.

I wonder if it's possible to part switch ER and Siege Barricades to make an ideal Barricade, so here's what I'm thinking.

Siege torso, shoulders and head.

Earthrise legs, lower arms and doors (never mind the door connecters are different between the two versions).

I don't have any ER Datsuns and don't intend to get any, so I could be remembering wrong, but aren't the legs completely different shapes too? I don't think that proposed combo would be able to transform at all.

If it did, you would get a car with a low, flat round front and a high, square back.

My perfect prime would be the legs and ab wheels from Siege prime with Earthrise primes upper half somehow merged into a single figure.

This would be amazing if possible.

Well damn, I hope the arms can switch around at least.

It's really only an issue in vehicle mode. If you're going for robot mode aesthetic, it can be done.

Robot mode is more important of course, I was initially thinking of this part swapping to have the benefit of giving Barricade a distinct car mode from the Datsuns that fits the 2007 character.

The Siege Barricade/Smokescreen head certainly looks more sinister then the Earthrise version so at least the head sculpts will be distinct across the 4 characters.

With the next galctic odyssey set revealed during today's fan first friday being an unanticipated micromaster six pack, we are left with three leaks/rumors but only two slots to fit them in: a Glyph/Tapout two pack, an ER Barricade with a punch/counterpunch redeco, and a white launchpad ironworks with the space shuttle micromaster team mold. I'm thinking the barricade rumor is mistaken, since the guess was that it was a changed release plan for the nextflix listing we saw a while back.

We have more Fan First Friday reveals. We finally know how we are getting Runabout and Thrust. They are both part of the Earthrise line but will only be available at Target in the US.

So does settle it once and for all that Earthrise wave 4 is definitely cancelled?

Also nice to put a face to these at last

Actually we can just say Wave 4 is Exclusive to Target in the US, and pending distribution elsewhere

[Deadput]

Ah Thrust the Redwing before Redwing who is now the Redwing after Redwing and will likely be hard to find as well.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Secured my preorders for Thrust and Runabout. So I will have 12 seekers and both battlechargers now, splendid.

Also managed to use the Target $10 off $50 coupon to pre-order them, so that helped

[Deadput]

Oh I see you don't need a Red(wing) card to order them this time, should I grab them or wait for a better retailer for Canadian?

[o.supreme]

Yes Redwing was selects. Thrust and Runabout are normal ER (basically wave 4) that just happen to be Exclusive to Target in the U.S.

[william-james88]

depends, if you absolutely want to ensure you get him, then buy him now. I will wait for the canadian release. And if it doesn't happen, so be it.

[blackeyedprime]

wouldnt have minded the micromasters but they will probably not be offered over here.

Having to pay more than a deluxe for runabout kills him off for me and then I have no need of wave 3 Runamuck so that's money saved.

Headmasters are tempting for the Japanese decos at £80 but something new and shiny wins over versions of something I already have for the most part, dampens the temptation.

*thruust, not much point not being able to get the other seekers so I'll stick with my classics that I'm also missing seekers from... hard to believe brand spanking new G1 (reissues) were the easiest to get out of all the toylines.

[Bounti76]

Well Thrust is sold out. Bleh.

Does anyone else but me find it odd that Thrust's nosecone is solid maroon, but his cone head is black?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

As someone whose favorite "G1" seeker toy is the CW Thundercracker, nope

[bluecatcinema]

Yellow-eyed Thrust for the win!

[ScottyP]

I find it odd that Barricade isn't called Barricade. Guess it's to not be confusing given the Siege and upcoming Selects ones but the venn diagram of "people that care about both" and "people that know what G1 Micromaster Barricade looks like" is just a circle. Not sure who it helps to use "Runner".

Was shocked by how easy it was to get in on Thrust and Runabout. Had just assumed they'd sell out in mere seconds like most of the other Target exclusive stuff lately.

That really surprised me too, it took an hour and 20 minutes to sell out after it showed up in the store. Maybe it actually caught people off guard enough scalperbots weren't actually ready for it

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

It does kinda spoil the illusion of his head being the real nosecone, but that's paint budget for you.

I'm just glad he doesn't have the halfassed turbofans that Henkei/Generations Thrust did. Remember those?

(Botcon Thrust on the left, Henkei Thrust on the right)

EDIT:

Snapdragon in jet mode, together with fellow SR-71 knockoff the Megajet. Has anyone else posted a pic of these together?

I haven't got my Overlord with me (since I'm at college), but I have noticed how similar their alt-modes look since I picked up Snapdragon a couple of weeks ago. I've been wanting to compare them, so thanks for the image!
