The size of Ironhide's chest window makes his head look tiny in proportion to the rest of his body, the Seige version has a better looking robot mode, but the Earth vehicle mode looks nice. Prowl looks great in both modes, so much better than the Siege version. I'm definitely buying this set, but I'm still undecided on the Ramjet and Dirge set. I have Starscream and it's a really good mould, Skywarp and Thundercracker are pre-ordered, but I wasn't really planning on having any more Seekers than that, though Ramjet and Dirge are certainly tempting.

I'm probably going to pick the Ironhide and Prowl set up because I still need a vaguely G1 Prowl, and my ideal "G1" Prowl is only gonna happen if I pick up a 3D printer 
The Coneheads look really nice and I'll definitely get them to go with the Rainmakers and Earthrise Starscream and Thundercracker (my friend and I are splitting the TC and Skywarp set because he only wants Skywarp, and I only want TC)

If that saves us all from having to sit through 15 minutes of forced corporate enthusiasm and tepid "jokes" then perhaps it's for the best!
Great to see the Coneheads at long last but once again time to feel bad for the people who bought Prowl or Ironhide last year who might not have done so had they know these were coming.

I remember having a LONG discussion regarding the possibility of an ER Ironhide and Ratchet and my reasons for waiting for one rather than getting Siege. So it's nice to see this taking shape. Looks like I'm gonna be getting a lot of sets. So far all three shown are must-haves for me.

Oh god yes let’s feel bad for grown adults who bought and play with toys. The same characters released as a new toy a year later. Some of you people wouldn’t have survived beast wars and unicron trilogy

No feelings for those that bought the siege versions of Ironhide and prowl. Plenty of people that were/are happy with them and plenty that weren't and waited. I'm willing to wait more for a studio series version with optional battle damage and a crater for a head

I think that Prowl looks cool, Ironhide looks frickin ugly, and the Coneheads look decent. Don’t @ me.

I agree, and this is actually my problem with the earthrise seekers too. I grabbed starscream, because of course I would. but despite being an update to an already pretty good mold, and an excellent jet mode, his chest looks too big for his body, and his head way too small. its nowhere near PoTP screamer bad, but it is a big detraction for me, placing the siege seekers as the better ones imho. This is why I am not getting the Target 2 pack. I will get the coneheads of course to have all the seekers in scale.of course though, im also an oddball trying to complete the map, so not getting the Target seeker 2 pack kinda kills that. anyone not want their map piece and willing to share? lol
that prowl though... see I loved the earthrise "datsuns" but theres no denying their proportions are a little off too, with 'dem skinny thighs. So I may have to get that set and say goodbye to my siege prowl.

the walmart hasbro collector con page is live. no pics, or names yet, though item descriptions show transformers and gi-joes.

Yeah, there's one at $60, two at $40, and five at $20, so it definitely looks like second wave of Netflix exclusives.
Guessing:
$60 - Shockwave with lab stuff.
$40 - Optimus Prime recolor and new character (maybe Deadlock from Springer) plus Battlemasters.
$20 - Elita-1, Armada Wheeljack, Ironhide recolor, ...?
What would be hilarious is if $60 fig was a retool of Astrotrain as Armada Jetfire, but that seems really unlikely.

I think they used some of the wrong pictures for the event, because they showed an unaltered ER Prime for the Netflix Siege figure.
Also, Bumblebee and Soundwave are a part of the netflix line? Why wouldn't they go in ER? Seems kinda weird if they don't have weathering but whatever.
It is cool that Bumblebee is a VW, I was just hoping he didn't partsform like Cliffjumper does. Maybe the updated molding will let him transform without removing it?

kind of weird having non battledamage/non premium paint applications in the netflix line that boasts it, what will the regular earthrise releases look like for them (if there is any).

Well, now we know why Arcee has that junky unintegrated transformation: So that they could easily swap the robot body to give us an attempt at car-mode Elita One. Which ends up being rather pathetic because of said unintegrated transformation, having Arcee's car mode instead of her own, and being too short relative to Optimus.

I don't think I'll get Elita. I already have the Primes version for my official version and I like MMC's as my main.
I wish they'd just lead with Netflix. I always found some fault with the main ER Prime and if Netflix is just going to come out with a better one Hasbro is going to lose a lot of my trust.

Honestly, it would be awesome but I don't think it will happen. Battle Masters are cheaper individually than Micromasters. Plus that Select box exist.
In all logic, it may be a special "battle damage" version of Optimus Prime with one or two Battle Masters included.

I hope earthrise Ironhide gets a separate release. Don't want to waste my money on a two pack if i'm only getting it for one figure.
