Just saw primevsprime's review of Kingdom Dinobot and do we know if dinobot will get any recolors in the Netflix line or in a spoiler pack or something?
I'm scared of getting this one and then a new one comes out with a more show-accurate raptor mode and gray hips instead of the orange. And a non purple rapier lol
Like what happened with people that got kingdom cheetor and siege soundwave

The current rumor is a Selects redeco of Dinobot as Beast Wars Grimlock.

[-Kanrabat-]

I'd be more interested in a BW Grimlock than the actual Dinobot.

But I know I'll buy both.

[Razorbeast88]

I'll definitely be getting both as well haha
Thank you! I'd heard the rumor about BW Grimlock

Nothing so far about a repainted dinobot though, right?

I thought it was supposed to be in an Amazon-exclusive 2-pack, not Selects, but yeah. Nothing about any other Dinobot repaints currently.

Forgot about that. Grimlock first came about as a Selects rumor, so I had that on the brain.

Specifically with Earth Sideswipe retool

How many waves are left to be revealed in Kingdom, two? How much space is there for more Earth re-dos? I know Sideswipe and Red Alert have already been mentioned several times and there was talk of a couple of 2-packs pairing a G1 character with a BW character. But where would they go? Store exclusives? Will we get something like the Galactic Odyssey sub-line ER had to push out the extra figs? Sooo many questions...

[Nemesis Primal]

Yeah, but the contents of said waves leaked months ago at this point.

Exactly those, yeah, the only character redos we've had mentioned so far are Sideswipe and Mirage in Amazon 2-packs with BW repaints, and Red Alert as the Walgreens exclusive.

[o.supreme]

I'd say most of the "standard" Kingdom releases are known, though we haven't seen official photos of several of them (with ToyFair cancelled, hopefully before month end or early March Pulse will have some reveals)

But as for Selects, Netflix, or any other retailer exclusives (Target ??, Amazon??...), There is a lot left to be revealed.

Yeah, this was my understanding as well.

This, however, I did not realize.

Its an assumption based on an educated guess. The only new Selects toy that has been officially revealed in this Calendar year is Deep Cover. I am almost certain there are more coming.

Also only a portion of the Netflix 3rd wave has been revealed. If ER is anything to go by (both of which had exclusives at Target and Amazon), I'm sure there is more to come.

Lastly, are any clues as to what this years Walgreens exclusive might be? If it was reported I missed it.

I mean, leaks and/or rumors exist for all of those things, we just don't know if the stuff in said leaks is all we're getting for each of those releases and don't know the full contents of a few multi-packs (which is basically all we're missing Netflix-wise).

Walgreens is an Earth Mode Red Alert, between leaks/rumors and someone I believe finding the listing for it.

Sorry, but i'm not done having fun with cyclonus yet. I'm bringing zoids weapon pack into play this time.

The Transformers Kingdom wave 2 core and deluxe class figures are out in France. They were found at the store Carrefour. TF fan transform75 made a video review for the core class Megatron figure he picked up there. It's in French, but it gives a good idea of what is in store for those who are interested.

Hello
I may be one of the first to post a video review (in French) of Core class Megatron from Kingdom.
Part of the second wave core class, it is perfect for titan and commander class size like SkyLynx and Scorponok

Deluxe and Core class wave 2 has been released here in France.
Enjoy the visuals

How is it that a legends/core-scale figure has by far the best head sculpt for Megatron of the entire generations line? If only Earthrise Megs had received this sculpt....

[Quantum Surge]

I think it's based on the Masterpiece figure.

Cyclonus is awesome. He looks really good with Scourge even though they are technically two separate lines.

They would have probably been the same line if not for the beasts

[o.supreme]

I'm sure they would have, which is unfortunate Hasbro was in a rush to do too many things at the same time. A great line to finish the original series and an amazing line to start BW had to be compacted together so both only gets half the toys they could have.

Well the solution is simple...Go back in time and get Beast Wars made either a year earlier or a year later same the 1986 movie Just how the anniversaries fell for the respective parts of the franchise.

If it were only that simple. A year earlier and the final year of G2 wouldn't have happened, removing from exsitence the ball-jointed articulation that Beast Wars took advantage of, while a year later and Transformers would be too dead for Beast Wars to exist.

true, and something I've had to remind beast wars haters through the years (and to an extent, live action haters), that the franchise survived (and thrived) because of these choices.

[Emerje]

Exactly those, yeah, the only character redos we've had mentioned so far are Sideswipe and Mirage in Amazon 2-packs with BW repaints, and Red Alert as the Walgreens exclusive.

Though it should be mentioned that Mirage is an Earth-style repaint, not a retool like the Sideswipe mold.

Also only a portion of the Netflix 3rd wave has been revealed. If ER is anything to go by (both of which had exclusives at Target and Amazon), I'm sure there is more to come.

No, it's almost all been revealed

Spoiler Pack ER Megatron with purple Paleotrex
Voyager Optimus Primal with Rattrap
Voyager Sparkless Seeker
Deluxe Sparkless Deep Cover
Deluxe Sparkless Barricade
Deluxe Quintesson (black Ironhide)
Deluxe Cheetor

A leaker said there wouldn't be five Deluxes this time around so that's it for that class. I think it was said that the Seeker comes with a repainted Ractonite, but can't remember if that's right. Only thing not revealed is what, if anything, is packed with the Deluxe figures this time and what else is padding out the price of the Spoiler Pack because we're only up to $50 on a $60 set and we don't have a $5 price point anymore (and after Nemesis Prime they have a lot to live up to). That's basically it.

Exactly. Those were rebirth/milestone years.

Beast Wars saved Transformers.

2007 Bay movie brought a whole new generation of fans AND brought back many who gave up on the franchise years and years ago.

But haters will never understand those facts. They WON'T understand. Luckily, they are a tiny minority.

Hasbro hasn't always been the most exact when it comes to anniversaries. In fact I'd say they really dont care more often than not (BW 10th, TF 20th, T30). Many BW fans would agree they got snubbed heavily on the 20th. Doing a full original series line this year to finish the WFC trilogy, and then full on BW in 2022 I dont think would have been that hard to conceptualize.
