Preorders Available for Generations Selects Deep Cover

The Pulse listing says there's another version coming too. I assume the Earthmode version.

I have hopes for his MP version to finally be released, but you are probably right.

My friend got a strange email about this, with am image of the toy done through a photo negative filter. I didn't get this email, and neither did our other friends. maybe the second version is an inverted color one?

or clampdown?

Honestly, if the changes are like the Datsuns, I'll probably buy a bunch more Lamborghinis.

Netflix rusty version.

I doubt it, it sounds like it is specifically for the character of Deep Cover, not a zombie army builder. I think it's either masterpiece or earth-mode.

The Netflix rusty Barricade redeco is being sold as Barricade even though it isn't him.

I'm pretty sure it'll be the MP, and people can stop deluding themselves already.

I'm excited for people that want Deep Cover. I'm sad that although just officially revealed today, people will likely have it before the next 3 TT Selects (Volcanicus, Abominus, Soundblaster), in spite of the presumed release dates.

Deep Cover is a Hasbro Selects toy, though. Why should his release have anything to do with the Takara Selects?

I'm well aware, I was just referencing the release dates, all of which are on Hasbro Pulse. I know it's no shocking revelation that the TT Selects releases will likely be delayed. It just seems disingenuous of Hasbro Pulse (who publishes the release dates of all products they offer). If from the beginning they said Volcanicus release date would likely be April, and Abominus/Soundblaster in May, (which sees more realistic based on past trends) I would have no care in the world when Deep Cover Comes out.

Got my order in. Curious that they're using the Transformers Tuesday label on Pulse again though, last time they used that was when they did those weekly drops of Hot House, Bugbite, etc. Are we about to get a bunch more Selects announcements in quick succession again?

We've also had the Netflix Deep Cover listing for a few months now, well before any rumors of this Selects one, so I'm not sure why this is confusing.

That would be nice, but I think it has become an overgeneralized marketing term, kind of like Taco Tuesday. . Pulse has revealed several past release on random Tuesdays as well. Conversely they have on occasion dropped new pre-orders on other days (I seem to recall G2 Selects Megatron and Sandstrom dropping on a Friday seemingly out of nowhere...I could be mistaken). Another series of weekly reveals would be nice though...I guess we'll have to wait and see.

You can doubt all you want, you'll still get a rusty deep cover.

Yeah, Netflix Deep Cover was leaked way back in May 2020 alongside wave 2 and the already leaked Sparkless Barricade and "Quintesson" (the black Ironhide). Other leaks have said Netflix Deep Cover would be a Sparkless version along with a Sparkless Seeker (wave 3 Voyager along with Primal).

That's your second Deep Cover, no Earth mode, no MP.

I like how his name is Deep Cover, he's supposed to be an undercover cop and yet, he had the blaring police insignias all over his body. Okay in three spots, but still.

Looks like Gamestop has Deep Cover listed with a release date of Friday, Feb 12th, and an option to have it delivered on Day One for $10. I'm interested but not sure it is accurate. But then again, they were the second to deliver Kingdom figures after the CMDStore.

Well good for Deep Cover, but I was hoping for an earth alt. Still looks like a great figure.

According to the listing, he'll be getting one it seems.

Not quite. The other release the listing is referring to is most likely the Netflix sparkless version that was leaked via a Walmart app listing a while ago.

Awesome...bring him on!

It's a pretend Lamborghini logo, with a star in place of the bull. Probably to make him look a tad more "Earth-y" than the previous uses of this mold.

Also, his real cover is shrinking down to action figure size for stealth.

Ah, alas I did not see that. But, now that I have, you've saved me a pre-order. So does this mean he (and Barricade) are dead? Barricade got an Earth Mode(!!)

Mea culpa.

But what of the rumored Earth mode Red Alert that's also rumoured to be the Walgreens figure? So many rumours, so many Lamborghinis.

If it happens it'll probably just be Earth lettering instead of Cybertronian, and maybe the clear windshield not being ruined. At most there will be paint dividing the windshield frame.

sol magnus wrote:So does this mean he (and Barricade) are dead? Barricade got an Earth Mode(!!)

At least in the case of Barricade vs his Sparkless "counterpart", they are canonically separate characters with the same body-type and the Sparkless has never actually been referred to as "Barricade" outside of the figure's listing. Actual Barricade is alive and well in the show as part of the crew of the Nemesis, while the Sparkless Datsun was only in basically one episode's worth of screentime between two episodes and got dusted when Optimus touched the Allspark.

(But also the figure releases in the main toyline and the Netflix show aren't a direct 1-1 translation anyway, since both Skywarp and Magnus are actually dead despite getting updates in Earthrise and Kingdom.)

sol magnus wrote:But what of the rumored Earth mode Red Alert that's also rumored to be the Walgreens figure? So many rumors, so many Lamborghinis.

We are allegedly supposed to be getting Earth Sideswipe and Red Alert as Amazon and Walgreens exclusives, respectively, but there haven't been any solid rumors about similar updates for any of the other Lambo repaints.

Correct. I guess he's being referred to as "Barricade" as a placeholder in that aspect - I'm aware of the non-binary deaths.

I hope they are significant enough to stand apart from the Siege ones, as they are very good as is.

The Datsuns received a remold or redesign, which gave them a much different front and rear bumper that 'modified' the transformation enough. And then we got Gigawatt, which is an ER Sideswipe if you think about it. So If the is an ER Sideswipe and Red Alert, there has to be something similar to the changes. Something that doesn't change the existing transformation drastically but gives a lot of visual difference in alt-mode, since that is what becomes more earth-like. I'm thinking of a possible change to the back of the legs/feet that give it more of a spoiler look while not being an actual spoiler. I also expect some change to the doors and a thicker front bumper, and more noticeable headlights how the front of Gigawatt in alt-mode the Datsuns changed.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user Turned Agent, has let us know that PrimeVsPrime (fellow Seibertron user and YouTube toy reviewer) has uploaded a review of the recently revealed Deep Cover!

Deep Cover is a predominantly black and blue redeco of the Siege Deluxe Class Sideswipe mould. The colour scheme comes from Takara's pre-transformers line, Diaclone, the same as with other redeco uses of the mould like Tigertrack.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:



Will you be buying this to add to your lambo collection? Still holding out for an earth mode? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Finally got sandstorm! This is my first experience with this mold, and i gotta say, this is definitely a nice mold. While i still prefer siege mold more, this one just feels solid.



The camo deco really works well with this mold, and the shark face is the cherry on top.



Only nitpick i have is i wish the camo deco would extend to that leg area as well, because it just feels empty compared to the rest of the jet, but not a deal breaker.



Robot mode looks good as well. I particularly like the fact that his wings can fold flush against the leg, making him look tidier.

I folded the leg wings flat on my Sandstorm too He's a really wonderful Voyager, if I only own one version of the Earthrise Seeker mold I'm glad it's this one
Picked up Rattrap for myself and 86 Grimlock for a friend at Targét last night, man Grimithoy Lockenschpel is a big boy! Hopfully will be able to track another one down soon and experience it for myself!

Greetings Seibertronians! Still on the fence about the latest reveal in the Transformers Generations Selects line, Deluxe Class Deep Cover? Well, let's see if any of these reviews in this round up and help bring you to a decision about this Disclose inspired figure!

First up, we have Chefatron:


Next, we have [IdArmed], sharing their thoughts:

I can't believe I did this but I went on ahead and ordered Deep Cover through Gamestop and paid for shipping in the hopes they actually ship him this Friday. I was able to use the Honey browser extension to purchase a gift card and then pay with the gift card which saved a couple of bucks so the shipping cost wasn't too much.

That black and blue look really freaking sweet together, looking forward to this guy...

I'm a big fan of the colour scheme as well, i think it looks fantastic in the Siege Sideswipe molud

Kinda wanna get Selects Bugbite, he looks cool. But the question is, if I do, should I give him the tacky purple tribal tattoos or do him up as a little police car?

Evil Eye wrote:Kinda wanna get Selects Bugbite, he looks cool. But the question is, if I do, should I give him the tacky purple tribal tattoos or do him up as a little police car?

I think the tribal tattoo look is pretty cool and I wish Selects Bug Bite already came with them.


Gamestop really thinks Deep Cover is shipping Friday...

I'll be very interested to see if they come through.

I wouldn’t worry too much.
They came through w/ my Kingdom Cyclonus, no issues except was 1 day later than expected. But they emailed me about that change.

Not worried at all, just curious since they are a relative newcomer as far as a source for TF's. I refuse to pay for shipping if I don't have to and don't mind waiting, so I'm not ordering from them anyway. I'm getting mine from Pulse since I have premium there and free shipping.

Sandstorm is a great figure, and outside of Redwing and maybe Hotlink, he is my favorite seeker from the WFC trilogy.

Deep Cover looks sweet, glad I scooped one up on preorder.

I got my Super Megatron at last, and he really is super. They went balls out with the retooling and paint, and they did an excellent job with him. Fantastic! Mine will always use the TLK face, that is an awesome thing

These 3 go frightening well together



My updated Shattered Glass shelf

Super Megatron is great, good to see someone else getting him! Also a huge improvement over TR Galvatron. Alt modes are perhaps a bit abstract but I like them, they've got a similar toyetic charm to RID Megatron/Gigatron.

As much as the jet mode is supposed to be the primary alt mode, I actually really like the tank mode, that one is my favorite.

His giant ass cannon is also great. I can't really find fault with him at all

Me too! The triple-barrelled tank mode is great.
My one gripe is I wish he had wrist swivels, but that's about it.

Wrist swivels and maybe a peg on his forearm instead of elbow for his cannon, but otherwise, he's fantastic. I love that he has the 2 face, 2 forehead, and 2 chest options. A lot of fun to be had there
