Here's another US sighting for new Transformers toys. The third was of deluxes from the Transformers Netflix line is out. They ere found at a Walmart in New Jersey. The fun finding was posted on the Cybertron Cafe Facebook group. What's fun is that in this world of leaks and online announcements, we still did not know the exact names of these figures nor if the rumoured Deep Cover was confirmed to come nor how it would look like. Well, now we do. This wave is made up of Cheetor, in slightly different colours than the mainline version, Sparkless Bot, using the Smokescreen/Barricade mold, Quintesson Desseus Army Drone, using the Ironhide mold and begging to be used as an army builder, and Deep Cover in a blue redeco. His colours are reversed where what is black on the Selects toy is now blue and vice versa. He also sports battle damage.

I get they are trying to make characters to scale, but I feel ripped off whenever I buy a Legends-sized deluxe (not that he's THAT small, but you know what I mean)

He's pretty standard sized and perfectly in scale with the other beasts. If you want a small deluxe, Blackarachnia is pretty tiny (but still perfect in every way.)
Beside, size dosen't matter. It's what you do with it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I know people are excited about a darker blue Cheetor, but I can't get around the lack of blue on his legs. Kingdom Cheetor remains the superior figure for me.

I really like the main colors of Deep Cover but, those battle damage splotches ruin it for me. Also, I'm bummed it doesn't come with the extra gun.

G2 Deep Cover since the blue and black have switched, like G2 Sideswipe I will say I was caught off-guard with Netflix Deep Cover in blue, did not expect that.

I like the darker blues and green cheetah eyes on Cheetor better than what we got with the initial one so I may sell my one to a buddy and get this one instead.
I want to get that Quintesson soldier fella as a makeshift Shattered Glass Ironhide but as I’ve said before, the difference between it and Ratchet would bug the ever living crap out of me, so it’s a hesitant pass for now.
Sparkless Bot is a hard pass, I’ve no need for it nor space.
So out of this whole wave I might just get the Sparkless Seeker as a makeshift Skyquake to round off another Seeker squadron and Cheetor. The rest I’ve either no interest in or the differences in paint are negligible enough that their prior releases still have homes with me.

What about the fact that the original SG Ratchet and Ironhide didn't share body-types in the first place?Mindmaster wrote:I want to get that Quintesson soldier fella as a makeshift Shattered Glass Ironhide but as I’ve said before, the difference between it and Ratchet would bug the ever living crap out of me, so it’s a hesitant pass for now.
Ironhide used Universe Ironhide's body while Ratchet used Energon Roadblock's body and his backup form used CW First Aid's body.

The Seeker looks like one of the dark green ones seen in the show.
Yeah it looks like the Maximals are getting Minimals changes.
Is it just a brighter blue and a darker red for Primal with the change I feet color? Don’t see much else different on him. Rattrap seems brighter overall too.

Rattrap is the same price as Cheetor on Pulse. Why?

For everyone wondering what the $50 Premium subscription got you, it was this, getting Pulse orders in while everyone else spends half an hour refreshing Walmart.com.
Edit: Spoiler and Sparkless Seeker pack both sold out on Pulse as of 1:35 PM ET.

Pushed back to an Amazon 2-pack due to COVID-19 supposedly. I think he's supposed to be packed with BW Grimlock (White/bronze BW Dinobot).

I see BW reissue Rattrap is also over priced on Walmart's as well. How are they justifying the deluxe price on the smaller figure?

Unfortunately I had a busy morning, so by the time I looked at Pulse, they were sold out. I pre-ordered the Seeker and Spoiler Box on walmart, for all the good it will do
Also, have the contents of the Spoiler Box officially been revealed (beyond the aforementioned rumors?) WFC Megs $30 / Paleotrex $20 (Gotta have something else to justify the additional $10)

They basically just inverted Deep Cover's normal deco for this toy, switching his primarily dark blue and secondarily bright blue color scheme for a primarily bright blue and secondarily dark blue one.Wolfman Jake wrote:Sabr, got any other ideas for obscure Transformers or Diaclone homages a blue "Sideswipe" might represent?

Pretty much the same way G1 Sideswipe's red w/ black deco was inverted into G2 Sideswipe's black w/ red deco, essentially making this "G2 Deep Cover".

So doing the math, new spoiler pack ways 2 figures, compound and 6 accessories. By comparison, the Nemesis Prime spoiler pack said figure, battlemaster, compound and 9 accessories.
For Nemesis prime, I have the 3 energon cubes, 2 swords, Siege gun, and 2 arm cannons bringing us up to 8 and I'm assuming the trailer is the 9th accessory.
ER Meg's product description says he comes with 2 weapons (fusion cannon and spear), so those plus the 3 energon cubes already eats up 5 of the 6 accessories. I don't think Paleotrex's tail counts as one.
Edit:
Sabrblade wrote:The Spoiler Pack also allegedly comes with the AllSpark itself.
That would probably be the final accessory then.

Ultra Magnus was an indisputable flop (especially considering even now, nearly a year later you can still get it at discount price). Nemesis Prime offered a LOT, and was a HUGE success.
I mean I know there has to be some veiled connection to the show (as insignificant as it is, and the term "spoiler" doesn't really apply). But still, Neither Astrotrain nor Doubledealer got a second use. Heck they could have created a new character "Triple D", or DDD, (Deeseus Double Dealer)
Just a slightly off color, battle damaged/weathered Doubledealer with a random Battlemaster, because they aren't in the show right?
The Spoiler could be- *hinting that he somehow survived the explosion and transferred his consciousness to the Mercenary Decepticon, and arrived on Primitive earth. Have him in one scene, getting blown away by some BW characters. The End . See it practically writes itself.
