New In Package Shots of Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Deluxe Class Wave 2

I'm just not that excited about these figures. Already have Wheeljack and just need Bee.
Does anyone know if Elitas backpack is removable? Reminds me of a homeless cybertronian.
The impactor paint job is nice, I may just have to grab a 2nd figure.
Please fill me in on this line but other than the Netflix line, do these figures have better paint apps? Thanks and take care my fellow cybertronians

Most of these are cool. Red Alert and Wheeljack are very disappointing. Red loses his red biceps from the renders (again) and his limbs are this weird cream color that clashes with the white paint like nobody's business. Wheeljack loses the cool weathering effects on his car mode paint apps and instead just gets black stuff spattered on him.

Overall, I felt like that battle damage paint on the first series was pretty good, but the ones that have it on this second series is pretty blah.

The miscolored whites didnt work on the regular siege version either, only Selects Artic Megatron pulls it off in a good way (it makes him look cheap but also even more G2ish).


I might consider elita 1 and detaching the shell but only bumblebee for sure, Optimus depending on final figures coloring and maybe the mystery leader. Soundwaves nice but I just need to spend money on another one.

This just odd, because in Earthrise we are getting Arcee (which is clearly not an earth vehicle). Just like we got a couple figures in Siege that looked pretty much like standard earth vehicles rather than Cybertronian. I just wonder if not for the Netflix show if BB and Elita-1 would have been regular Earthrise or Siege releases...??

That makes the most sense. I mean I know some people are into the Netflix line. To me they pretty much were pointless cash grabs until Elita-1 and Bumblebee which are arguably the first new toys in this line.

Yeah the Spoiler Box #2 is puzzling. I think a Black Galaxy Prime is the best guess I've seen. But then again, that character never appeared in the series so...

Yes I guess it would have to be. Although everything else from wave 1 and 2 was specific to Siege. (well now I guess an Earthmode Soundwave would be the other exception as well) I figure Netflix Earthrise will have repaints from ER (and a couple new surprises perhaps), and same for Kingdom. The packaging I imagine would stay the same, just muted black/white versions of the line they are duplicating.

So basically "Earthrise" Bumblebee and Soundwave got hijacked by Walmart for use in their Siege Line to Promote Siege Netflix, . My other thought could have been that Elita-1 was going to be a Selects perhaps, but fortuitously just happened to work in the series favor.

A picture is worth a thousand words
