    Aw, I'd half been hoping Barricade would wear that mould better than Prowl but he still looks just as weird, and he's got a stupid chinless cartoon-Smokescreen head to boot, a shame because I love that colour scheme.

    Barry - no - neck.

    I'm interested in the idea that perhaps Mexican Prowl or a Black G1 Prowl might be considered something like a neo-G1 Barricade.
    I'd not say no to that as a G1 reissue style toy in a fake vintage Autobot car style box only in purple - that would be rather spiffy.

    Oh and if they lost the name Tote i'd have a (sad panda face) I like Tote. He's like Ironhide's Mini-me

    Did they say that as that's High Jump and Powertrain?

    Not Tote .

    Sorry I realised as soon as I posted it that i'd skipped a few words & it didn't say what I intended it to say I was just about to edit it to clarify when you came along 1st. I've clarified it now.

    I was half expecting them to use Tote so they could remould it into Fix it and save some money.
    But they seem to have skipped over that character anyway in the last wave and the idea of completed 4 part patrols remains just a dream.

    I would have preferred Tote to High Jump honestly.

    Didn't notice they were retooled until just now. That's a nice touch.

    i'll give you that. roadhandler is good. swindler just falls flat.

    i'm judging it more as a set. one is good one stinks and the weapon mode is just awful.

    they remolded the heads which i didn't expect but i still think this might be a pass......at least until i'm wandering around in target and impulse buy it....

    Hmmm, the cross sell with Red Alert suggests w3 for the Off Road patrol - all the cross sells have been with contemporaneous toys so far....

    Considering how some recent toys came about, I'm gonna bet all Hasbro did was a Google image search for "G1 Barricade", ended up with that Guido fanart and mistook it for something official.

    I'm quoting myself here, because within a day a) the teams became uneven again and b) we DID get ONE more set of two. So, overall good news, I guess? Now I just want one more set of Decepticon Micros to even things out... Flak and Big Shot remolded into Dropshot and Bombshock, anyone?

    I just go by what the file names were on the images Hasbro sent out (see the image file names at Seibertron, as they were renamed on the TFW news posting).

    Yup, no doubting what you were told, just wondering if it's right or not.

    Having said that, after I posted my reply to you Thundercracker sprang to mind:

    Siege Springer, Thundercracker, Red Alert and Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Images - Transformers News - TFW2005

    The images show him using Caliburst, so should be contemporaneous to him as a w3 toy and out about the same time.

    However there's some doubt as to when Thundercracker is out and which wave ...

    Transformers Generations Siege Voyager Wave 3 Case - Entertainment Earth
    Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Siege Voyager Springer - Entertainment Earth
    Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Siege Voyager Thundercracker - Entertainment Earth


    Generations 2019 Siege of cybertron Voyager Wave 3 set of 2 (STARSCREAM, SPRINGER). Preorder. Start Shipping on 1st July 2019.
    Generations 2019 Siege of cybertron Voyager Wave 4 set of 2 (MEGATRON, THUNDERCRAKER). Preorder. Start Shipping on 1st October 2019.

    Further to previous discussion:
    IDToys have stuck up pre orders for the remaining revealed Battlemasters and Micromasters for July.

    PRE-ORDER Transformers Siege Wave 3 Battle Masters Set of 2 Caliburst and Smashdown | In Demand Toys
    PRE-ORDER Transformers Siege Wave 3 Micromasters Highjump and Powertrain | In Demand Toys
    PRE-ORDER Transformers Siege Wave 3 Micromasters Blackjack and Hyperdrive | In Demand Toys

    They think both Micromaster packs shown at the Australian Toyfair are W3.

    For those following the ongoing online retailers vs Hasbro UK fun and games, IDToys don't say where they're sourcing these.
