Yup, instant preorder

Also now that I think of it, if they also gave him the name "Tigertron" as he was named in early promotion material, that would have been a neat callback as well.

Ok Hasbro release this one before the actual Kingdom Tigatron.

Hasn't Shattered Glass Blaster been found, via Case Distribution, before a regular Blaster as well?

So would this count as a shattered glass Tigatron?
Though I guess since this is an alternate timeline it's separate from shattered glass too

It can be whatever you want.

*Hums Beast Wars theme*

Finally, an obscure figure I actually want. Instant pre-order, but not at Pulse as I doubt my great great grandkids would know what is.

Looks like BBTS has pre-orders for wave 4 deluxe (Including Slammer and Pipes) as individual, or whole assortment pre-order

nothing for Tigatron yet.

Insta Pre-ordered, if only for the Mutant head.

Quizas mutant tigatron and shadow panther should team up and battle Maximal Grimlock and skywarp/silverbolt

Another one that I've been waiting for. Waiting for it to appear in the MP line...

Yayyy they revealed the one I don't want on the one day I was out of the house when the reveal happened. Cool to see my lore prediction was mostly right, looking forward to Terrorsaur tomorrow.

Blaster has both a Kingdom release and a Legacy release coming according to listings found before we ever heard about the Shattered Glass repaint.

The fact that they've now revealed both Tigatron and Pipes's molds through this before the actual original uses of the molds is aggravatingly hilarious though.

Even BBTS is fed up with Hasbro dragging their feet on the reveals.

In other news, I just found Waspinator and Shadow Panther during that outing that had me out of the house during this reveal!

BBTS seems to be working on old data.

Here is that same wave on Entertainment Earth

To be fair, it's really not that different than what we had in TR here we'd get the redecos/retools revealed before the main use of the mold. Or Alpha Bravo before Vortex in Combiner Wars. Hasbro is jut revealing stuff before other stuff. Same diff.

I think that's a bit different, since those guys were still mainline, while these are exclusive repaints

At least in those instances, though, it was because the things they revealed first were the first uses of those respective molds to get released since they were all retail figures. Retail Tigatron could show up in stores literally any day now considering the Deluxes for his wave are out, and instead they reveal the exclusive version not coming out until March? It just seems a bit off.

Mutant Tigatron looks great in orange, but I wish he had his normal head included too. Same goes for Shadow Panther. The mutant heads are a nice callback, but they’re ugly. They were just optional on the original toys. Wish we still had that option now, at least as swappable heads, if not the same mechanism as the original toys.

So, for 3 consecutive days, the new Golden Disk toys have sold out on Pulse during the "Premium Members" 3 hour window. For me it's not an issue as I can easily order them on Amazon.com . However I kind of wonder, what is the purpose of even offering them on Pulse? I mean Pulse only reaches the U.S., Canada, and U.K.

(I could be mistaken, but wont these be offered on Amazon.ca and Amazon.uk as well?)

To me it seems like a lot of the same ground is being covered, same price, estimated release date, and with such small quantities Pulse isn't doing anybody any favors.

Hopefully these will be made available to fans in the rest of the world via other means.
