No, they were never in stock, it's new listings

Oh, my bad... Wish they could figure out how to come up with something like a label that said, "Coming soon"...

Also, any guesses on the Prime redeco?
Nemesis?
"Death of..." (which would seem pointless to have posable dead Prime)?
Battle-damaged?

Red optimus was going to my main prime but I think netflix wave 2 has won out. Knock out and arcee will likely be my buys from the line, I never picked up that many prime figures with animated not having the full run of figures/exclusives/japanese/first release headaches of trying to complete.just hoping for some scaling in the figures rather than them all being the same size.

A set of six combining Transformers who not only can't transform but also can't combine? Sure, that'll sell well.

Yeah, they had such iconic personalities with such defining characteristics as...

I'd rather have the full team with the missing members, all transformable.

Still, I'd be down for RED Animated figures. Sari Sumdak being top priority. "Robot", teen, and child versions in a 3 pack.

Unless I missed it, I still haven't seen the Prime Arcee.

Seriously, the original line of Prime figures need a reissue to atone for the non-existent distribution. All I can find are $100 first editions or ugly ass "Beast Hunters" remakes.

Good fan art of Sari are rare.

Anyway, the toys would be 100% show accurate, of course.

Fair, but a whole lot of these G1 characters didn't have a ton of personality. "Iconic"?
Very very few would ever fit this descriptor, even relative to a kid's cartoon.
Devastator himself didn't add some multi-faceted emotional spectrum to TF's, and yet he'll always be one of the most popular combiners.
Do people really think these toys are collected based more on personality than appearance???
Hmmm...

So agree to disagree, but I'm not using the label of "classic" based on depth of character.

Whether you (meaning anyone) are in favor of non-transforming figures or not, it's also not completely ridiculous in the grand scheme to think they'd eventually give one figure to each of these 6 characters. Whether in multi-packs, as exclusives, etc.
I mean seriously... This idea is that outrageous compared to some of the other obscure and wishful-thinking wants of some collectors?? Pshhhh. That's laughable.

Kinda reminds me of the time someone seriously went off about "how dumb I was" for thinking they'd ever make the Classics seekers as regular releases after the BotCon set... And yet within that next year or so..........
This isn't to suggest I really think Constructicon R.E.D. figures are coming. But to put it out there as an idea isn't completely irrational either.

The R.E.D. line exists... Someone with some sort of business savvy thinks it's a good idea, with making money the bottom line.
Not to mention, these aren't just statues, or even figures like in the ReAction line that have articulation made for 4 year olds, are 2"+ shorter, only $2 cheaper, and look 10x worse.

If these are that off-putting to you, cool, bros.
Good for you for saving money for all of those awesome transforming figures.

Agreed. Unfortunately I also only see Devastator happening if the line does really well. But who knows, if Hastak thinks it'll make money, an exclusive could be possible.
Here's my fear; I think the R.E.D. line is the wrong line to expand into BW, Prime etc....
I want as many fans as possible to get what they want, but I don't feel overly confident that G1 characters are going to sell that well.
And I see BW and Prime characters being peg/shelf warmers, making the chances of the line going very deep for any series less likely.

Then this really would be Action Masters all over again XD
