Transformers War for Cybertron: Earthrise Snapdragon Found at U.S. Retail

I love Snapdragon's rocket mode, he looks worth the wait.

How many more waves of ER past what we've currently seen figures for are left?
Are have we seen the end and the next waves will be from Kingdom?

As far as we know, we're missing the entirety of Wave 4, plus exclusives, and then Kingdom is next, unless we get another Siege situation where a bonus Wave 5 gets added (which is probably unlikely).

Right on. So Thrust and Runabout are confirmed. Well Thrust is basically...
Wonder who else we'll see in wave 4. ????

Actually, Ol' Willy-Jameson pointed out on the FFF thread that the signs point to Thrust being an exclusive rather than a Wave 4 figure, so all we have on Wave 4 is Runabout (although Hasbro doesn't usually put repaints of the same mold back-to-back in the waves, so that's...odd if that is the case).

Oh good, another new figure that will never show up in Connecticut, and Snap is the one I've been waiting for! Arrrghhh!!!

We're still missing Tracks and Skids from the '85 cars. I was convinced we'd see Tracks in Earthrise. That would also set up a Selects Road Rage, since Hasbro has been releasing many of the Diaclone decoes.

I initially really liked the look of Runamuck, until I saw the back of the legs...
But who knows. Man, getting or not getting MP Starscream is going to have a huge impact on whether I buy any of the many figures I'm on the fence about.
This duo is a couple of maybe's for me... I think they look pretty good, and it's cool they purposely share the same mold.

I always pose my figures from the back (I don't) or wherever they are the most hollow (also, don't).

sol magnus, word of advice: Don't get into a debate with Sowndwave76 about mold hollows. You won't get anywhere and it will just leave you drained - take it from me X.X

Looking at that pic of Snapdragon: Totally called it, he looks much better in situ than in the stock photos and renders.

I think one of the final product shots confirmed that he wouldn't have that odd white plastic like Apeface did. Still, it's nice to see it and know for sure.

That ivory-colored nylon plastic is essential for keeping certain of Apeface's parts from breaking. And I wouldn't mind if Snapdragon had it (not that his transformation needs it from the looks of him). But the renders and especially the Takara stock photos... They made the white look bad, obscured some of the detail...

So Runabout isn't going to be a Selects or Pulse exclusive, and he's not being put in a multipack with some other figures I don't want? He'll be available at retail? This day keeps getting better and better!

Genuinely surprised by this news. I thought Hasbro was all about tearing teams and duos apart and making us pay more to collect them these days. Was resigned to this being a Selects release or, as you say, being bundled with someone/something to put the price up a notch or three e.g. Siege Skywarp. If true I'm happy that one of my most anticipated releases (LOVE the Battlechargers!) will come out at the retail price point, but the cynic in me suspects there'll be a catch somewhere like only available during rare planetary alignments from a long-dead wizard in a burned-down forest @ midnight, or similar.

Here’s some more pics of Snapdragon in both T-Rex and robot mode. I’ve got between 30 and 40 of the War for Cybertron line and I’ve gotta day this guy might be my favorite. The usage of color is fantastic. They did a great job recreating the G1 aesthetic while updating it in every way. If you spot Snapdragon, he’s definitely worth picking up.

Note: On his package images he looks like he’s got more white in him, similar to Apeface. His actual coloring is somewhere in between Apeface and Earthrise Starscream.

That's definitely interesting that 5/6 ER seekers could end up exclusives...
Figured at most it would've been 2-3. I guess Hastak thought with what was released in the Siege line that trying to have 6 seekers following so closely in ER couldn't justify full retail releases of each.
If it's true fingers crossed he's as easy to get as the conehead 2-pk.

Excellent. Maybe my preorder will arrive soon. Target was projecting a delivery of at least a couple of months from now.

The alt mode is a little stark but the mold is nice. Looks to be exactly the same as the box image. Good job Hasbro.

Yesterday was my (18th) wedding anniversary, and I get paid on Thursday. BBTS has Scorponok in stock, and Hopefully if it is still there Thursday Morning I'm pulling the trigger. It's neat that Scorponok and Skylynx have been spotted at Target retail. I'd love to find them both and get a 5% recard discount at purchase, but I have little faith, even with 10 stores I could drive to, to find it actually in a store near me.

I still haven't seen the clones or Seekers, despite seeing the endcaps and tags for them.

...Are those painted cockpit details? HOLY SHIT!

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:...Are those painted cockpit details? HOLY ****!

Yes, the cockpit is very nicely detailed

My Doubledealer should arrive tomorrow, excited to get him. And hopefully Snapdragon ships soon. I'm ready for him and to pair him up with his buddy!

Ugh, I hope Target gets their stock of Snapdragons soon and starts fulfilling pre-orders

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:My Doubledealer should arrive tomorrow, excited to get him. And hopefully Snapdragon ships soon. I'm ready for him and to pair him up with his buddy!

Mine should too. Well it should have arrived today. Target used Fedex Smartpost, which hands of to the local post office and mine kinda of sucks with packages. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Get your rifles ready and put on your mask, because the hunt is on! Both Transformers Earthrise commander class Skylynx and Titan Class Scorponok have been found at Target. That's right, Target is carrying the Titans class in stores.
The specific listings are the following:
Skylynx was found at Target in Birmingham, Alabama by Edhaskel. The DPCI number is 087-16-4497.
Scorponok was found at Target in Boise, Idaho for $159.99 by Dirge121. The DPCI number is 087-16-1984.

Also, regarding these two toys, Skylynx is currently shipping from Megalopolis, and the EB Games stores that ordered him in Canada are getting their Scorponok orders in.

If you have found these toys, please let the Seibertronian community know by posting in the corresponding Sightings threads.

It's actually Idaho, not, Indiana. I tried to correct the OP on TFW as well....

Mine arrived this evening from Target via UPS, I wonder why the different carriers?

Also is this the first time we've seen a Titan at retail outside of TRU and wholesale clubs (and Ollie's)? I have a feeling he'll be showing up at Best Buy as well.

Fry's Electronics Had Fort Max and Trypticon, I went in there for the first time in almost a year not too long ago, store is almost half empty, was already on its way out, won't survive this pandemic I'm afraid, kind of sad

Can you take any comparison pictures of Snapdragon together with Apeface?

He's here!

Here’s some quick ones of the robot modes. I’ve been storing Snap’s guns on his chest cause I just like how it looks.

Looks like he had a bit of a rough journey.

He did yeah. But hot dang if this isn't a fantastic figure so far! Like seriously, I think this is the best leader (first impressions) of the entire WFC line so far

Pretty snug. Knok is in his chest at the moment, and Skar is on the back. You can only fit 1 in at a time

Ok, so more like Soundwave, that's cool. Definitely looking forward to mine shipping from Amazon next week.

Um, has anyone noticed that Doubledealer preorder is available on Walmart.com for $42.99??

I just pre-ordered for $45. Won't be here until September, but I have too much school to do in the meantime anyways.

Thanks for pics of them together, this makes me even more excited. Those purples seem to match really well!

Scorponok in store at Target, eh? Too bad I already pre-ordered mine at "the Pulse"....

This is seriously the best leader class figure I have handled outside of Studio Series since CW Ultra Magnus. I love this toy so much

Okay, I seriously want this repainted into Cybertron Defense Team Red Alert.

You and me both

I did as well, but you can cancel anytime. If by some miracle I do find it in Target before pulse gets it, that's what I'm doing.

Funny, I just read this from UltraPrimus, posted 12 years ago:

Looks like a full circle

Just ordered the Clones from Target. They show in-stock at my usual store but they don't have the pick it up option. As I was checking out I saw a ship to my store option but then it wouldn't arrive till next weekend while ship to my home will arrive this weekend. Needless to say, I should have the clones Saturday. Plus I was able to squeeze in a pre-order for Airwave. I had him pre-ordered on both Pulse and Amazon and somehow cancelled both

It's like looking in a mirror...

A tad late in response about finding the past Titans in a store. When I was stationed in Hawaii I was lucky enough to snag Fort Max at TRU and then Trypticon on base at the local exchange store. Would be really cool to snag Scorponok at a local Target. I do have him preordered though. Cant wait.

Side note good pics as always @Dmax!

I saw the clones at Target last week and picked them up along with the seeker 2-pack. It was the only one on the shelf. Still haven't opened them yet.

Wow, both two packs in a single run!

I went to a couple outlier Target stores yesterday, and nothing... However just now my wife is shopping at our local Target and she found Skylynx . So that is cool. It's nice to have someone who can go early in the day for me. I thought there was zero chance of finding that at a store near me, especially so soon, still haven't seen clones or seeker packs yet. I don't want them, just like to see them though...

Apparently Slitherfang is getting around. I know my closest store had him, because I saw Rung. What irks me though, is on the day I probably could have got it, the employee I asked was being a real jerk and refused to go in the back to look.

I hear you, my wife does the same when she can. Same here, I just want to put an eye on the Clones and Seekers pak.
