Thanks to the Transformers Instagram account and Hasbro themselves, we have word that there have been a pair of reveals this Saturday morning, which includes 2 new figures and 2 reissues of older figures you all might not have gotten.

Up first, we have the long suspected Thundercracker and Skywarp from the Earthrise Starscream mold, which are being released in a 2-pack together. They both appear to be straight repaints of Starscream, with no alternate head immediately apparent.

And second, we have another 2-pack which features the Decepticon clones, which were originally released in Titans Return. These 2 clones, which consist of Pounce and Wingspan, appear to use the Takara decos. Whether or not the Autobot clones will be re-released to go with their counterparts is unknown.

These will both be Target exclusives.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think of them in the comments section below!

I'm going to need to track down those con clones. For some reason I have a weakness to flyers where the legs are used to make the wings :-?

so which rumoured listings have we still not seen yet?

Well the clones are good toys for anyone who needs them, but more repeats?? And from what, 5years ago?

Glad to see TC and Skywarp, but I need to see more before I commit to replacing my og Classics mold. What else you got Hasbro?

This however does not make me think we will not be getting the other two coneheads in some form or the other down the line.

Oh well, I was hoping for a small discount. They both look very good, TC is my fav and I'm a sucker for Seekers.

I feel like the Coneheads are a given at this point. Probably will follow the established pattern of a single one getting a retail release and the other two some form of an exclusive.

Too many

Ok, out of the Siege mold we have:

Starscream
Thundercracker
Skywarp
Red Wing
Ion Storm
Nova Storm
Acid Storm

7 in total.

The seekers do look great in spite of some misgivings I have re the mould (think they could've done a couple of things better). Skipping the 1st three still and will wait for the coneheads.

Re wingspan and pounce, they're a good addition to any collection but always seem to be at a premium for what are quite small figures.

I can't remember off the top of my head. It was a rumors list, and I think it was Ramjet?
It was the same list (i.e. news post) that had these.

Weird on the clones set but if they are going to still use reissues of older lines maybe we might see diaclone colored insecticons yet or standardised normal colored ones.

Still not sure on upgrading the classics seekers even if I'm missing most of them, but good to see them available.

EXACTLY. With the exception of Universe Hound, the MP tapes, and Henkel Ratchet and Ironhide—I’ve switched out my entire ‘84 collection! Great job, Hasbro!

On the downside, since this is a summer Target release, I probably won’t be seeing these in my area until November. So I guess these guys are gonna cost me about $150 on eBay.

I predict we'll see the Autobot Clones 2-Pack announced as an Amazon exclusive soon enough. Furthermore, since we have the "rumored" listing for Earthrise Thrust coming down the line, I think we'll also see a Ramjet and Dirge two-pack, again, likely from Amazon.

I feel conflicted. On the one hand, decent matching Voyager earth mode Seekers at long last. On the other hand it's a kinda weak mold that's basically an upscale and slight re-engineering of the ancient Classics figure. If I get Starscream and like him I might track them down. But that's a big if honestly.

I was just relieved that this time, there will be a UK retailer picking up these Seekers. It is so obnoxious having to try to source these obscure US exclusives internationally.

I don,t have time to dig up my old post, but yeah we were talking about it and I was really adamant about not assuming it would be the coneheads. To me, having these two was always the more obvious assumption. It would be weird to finally have the mold in the size everyon's been asking for and not doing these.

As for the clones.... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

This only helps those who didn't get any clone whatsoever in the first place. And even then, that just means they are stuck finding the others on e-bay to complete the set.

Thanks for getting this D-Max, I just logged on to do it and saw it was already taken care of.

Heh, so this time when they said "Clones" they really meant it instead of it being an excuse to have somebody's Forestonite-upgraded self walking around with them.

Given how the Clones were handled during Titans Return, there's likely a counterpart reissue pack of the Autobot Clones on the way. There had better be, since this pack can't supplement the TR packs.

And not too surprised at Skywarp and Thundercracker being bundled, it's something of a trend (although IMO this line should have opened with Skywarp in the first wave and put Starscream in the two-pack). Glad to see Skywarp bundled with TC rather than, say, Ultra Magnus' cab robot. And glad that they're still getting Skywarp's purple right, not putting too much red in it.

I did it. And it worked out fine. The classic seekers sold in no time at all, for what I bought them or more. Plus, we have more now than we did before and in different molds still keeping a nice aesthetic. If they give us the coneheads, that means I will have a nice collection of 11 good looking seekers in the right size (the classsics just does not scale well).

The Classics mold does scale well... with G1 toys. :BANG_HEAD:

Which is why I've been hesitant to get them all.

I'm holding onto the Dirge and Badly Repainted Acid Storm (which I will probably strip again and give another try for reasons) I have, just to lend their weapons to the WFC versions.

Huh. I don't see a difference. I just got out my Tak Legends Wingspan to compare and contrast. Looks the exact same to me. In that render though, they have the wings untabbed from the torso so they can bend upward.

Also, looking at these Legends Clones, that is indeed the exact same deco. Stickers and all.

Makes them an easy pass for me since i went for the Takara Clones when they came out. I must have those Seekers though.

It's possible bluecatcinema is talking about in comparison to the original toys:

Pounce's transformation is decidedly less dissimilar than Wingspan's.

I disagree somewhat on the scale. There are a ton of Deluxe Jets that they work very well with. Airelbots, Darkwing and Dreadwind, RTS Lugnut

I am still waiting to find out if we get the Coneheads. If we do, I'm in. As you say, 11 Seekers, 6 Earthbound and 5 Gusrding Cybertron, is more than my Classics Collection.

That's not even the strangest thing about these images:

Check out their guns impossibly strapped to the bottom of the jets facing backwards. Skywarp's are even black instead of purple which I would greatly prefer. His visible shoulders are also black.

And now the guns are gone and Skywarp's shoulders are purple again.

And here the bar that goes across their chests are black and blue instead of silver like on the individual shots. I kinda like this more.

Edit: Just realized zooming in that the second set of images are actual figures, not 3D renders. Still time for more changes to happen, we've seen that a lot with WfC.

Skritz wrote:Ah well, just keep showing what **** tools we were to even buy a single Siege figure, huh? Myself included.

Speak for yourself. They're both great molds and I don't mind getting all the reasonable repaints they want to make for each.

As for the clones, I might get them if they sell them for Deluxe price one sale. If freaking Walgreens can sell two clones for $18 then Target should be able to sell them for $20, not this nonsense $25 price. If that's what Hasbro thinks two Legends are worth now then I guess we wont be seeing Legends replacing Micromasters any time soon. I guess all future little guys are going to be handled ER Cliffjumper from now on.

They don't scale well with the CW Aerialbots unless you're insisting on IRL vehicle mode scale.

We've had a listing for Thrust, and all three show up on Sky Lynx's box... (which is decidedly more hint than we've had of the other Datsuns).

Skritz wrote:Ah well, just keep showing what **** tools we were to even buy a single Siege figure, huh? Myself included.

Hardly fools. Here's why:

Also:
1. No sign of Sideswipe getting replaced
2. You do realize Skyfire and Omega Supreme are SIEGE figures, yes?

3. There's no sign of the Rainmakers getting Earth redos (which would be wrong anyway)
4. Ironhide and Ratchet are better than the Universe figures and there's no sign of them getting new toys yet, plus they'd make passable Cybertron Mode versions in the event of "Definitely Earth" versions
5. The SIEGE Battlemasters
6. Is there so much as a whisper of revamps of Chromia, Brunt, Cog, or Six-Gun? No. Those were SIEGE figures too.
7. SIEGE Optimus makes a passable Cybertron Mode version given the constraints caused by the cartoon not bloody giving anybody except Laserbeak a Cybertronian robot mode
8. IMO SIEGE Megatron is better than Earthrise. I have no interest in getting ER Megs unless I find him at a substantial discount. Now, if they gave us a Leader-class "Submarine" Megatron... But no sign of that yet.
9. You know who else isn't getting an Earthrise revamp? Shockwave!

I hope Thundercracker will be a darker blue, he is a little light in these pictures.

It's because of the cartoon:

You know what I hate about myself?....where I'm excited about these two packs and am going to grab them on sight....I'm now asking what about the other clones and the Coneheads.

Thrust is coming as an individual release according to TRU’s system.

Theres a listing for a Amazon exclusive “Earth mode 2 pack” that’s also priced around $60. So maybe the other 2 are in there?

Edit: before any one asks. Yes the Earthmode 2 pack and Thundercracker and Skywarp seeker 2 pack are different things. They both have different Hasbro product codes and EAN’s.

Look like I wont be having ER Thundercracker because I always get him to keep him sealed and 2-packs break the rule.

However, it's WAY better to sell the two other members of the Seeker trio this way than the bullcrap Amazon exclusive.

Well Skywarp and TC were inevitable, nice to see they come together and don't take up too many spots for other figures/Seekers. I thought they would be the Earthmode 2-Pack though, not this one. Also note that the description in their listing soft-confirms the existence of more Earthrise Seekers, further confirming the leaks. The clones are an odd choice though, wouldn't it have made more sense to do the 2-pack of Fastlane and Pounce instead, to go with the Walgreen set? I probably won't get either of these, although my girlfriend might snag those Seekers to go with her Siege Screamer.

Selects

Deluxe Hubcap *
Deluxe Mercenary Bugbite
Deluxe Roritchi
Voyager G2 Megatron

Retail
Voyager Seeker Thrust

Amazon
"Alternate Universe" Optimus Prime
Earthmode 2-Pack

Unknown (Could be any of the other 3 categories)
Deluxe Exhaust
Deluxe Greasepit

SDCC
GI Joe & Transformers set

* I'm starting to wonder if Hubcap will be a MW-based Hoist repaint instead of the Minibot everyone is expecting, since there have yet to be any Selects figures who share/repeat molds with each other and as of what we know right now, Bugbite would have to be a Cliff repaint due to lack of Bumblebee.

You do realize that Selects isn't limited to WFC molds, right? Bug Bite could just as easily be a redeco'd TR Bumblebee with accessories thrown in to bring him up to Deluxe value. Hot House could be a similar redeco of CW Powerglide (although he could instead be a redeco of Ironworks, Airwave, or an as-yet-unseen Modulator as Hot House's fire station).

Also, just because we haven't seen double-dipping yet doesn't mean that we won't. SELECTS is still a baby line, especially on the Hasbro end.

I hope that that rumored G2 Megatron is pulled from Selects to take the regular version's place at retail, and the regular one scrapped altogether.

Greasepit is probably going to be a redeco and retool of Ironworks based on this:
