Wait, first place it appears? Does that mean we'll be getting Mercenaries in the show and toyline as well? As far as I can tell, that Octone isn't based off of any previous design for the character model wise, so that'd be cool to have as a figure.

 

"We've got Deadlock!"

WOAH!

"Lockdown!"

YES!

"Detrius"

HOLY SH*T!

"Octone!"

Wait. What?

"and Mudflap!"

....

 

Deadlock looks awesome

 

Setting the stones for Mudflap’s Hall of Fame induction

 

Oooh, Lockdown from ER Wheeljack please.

 

I love all of these card art. Thanks for reminding me Lockdown despretly needs a new toy (NOT IN CYBERVERSE). All he got was a TFA fig and an ROTF. Both 10 years old.

 

Wait no,,,, (damn, mental block. The Flo Derry guy from Season 2? Appeared in one episode with Smokescreen?)

Him!

Why isn't he in this collection?
(Name's gonna bug me for an hour if I don't go over to TF Wiki.)

 

I don't know, I can't get a game going.

By the way, I looked it up and it's

Spoiler

DEVCON!

I put it in spoiler tags just in case anyone else wants to have fun guessing. But yeah, he totally belongs in this set.

 

He really does. It'd be so great to see... that character.
Especially since it looks like these are all getting toys? Doubledealerdoubledealerdoubledealerdoubledealer

Deadlock looks cool, and I guess Detritus is just a Hound redeco, but hey, always happy to get more Junkions.

 

I'm all in for that Mudflap and Lockdown

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Also where's Devcon?

 

I find it funny that all the cards have the character name in English on the left, and in Cybertronian on the right, and OCTONE's name in Cybertronian is OCTANE. They couldn't settle on what his name should be so they put both on there!

 

Answer is simple: "Octane" written in Cybertronian isn't "Octane..."

It's a pleasant Easter egg.

 

I'd love to see toys of Lockdown, Detritus, and Mudflap.

We also got toys of him in AOE and Studio Series. But it would be nice to see something more inspired by his Animated incarnation like this art.

 

That's kinda what op was saying, though.

 

So they're saying we can expect them in Earthrise?

 

Oh look, Nightbird!

Hey she has an alt mode? What is it?

*looks closer

Goddamnit another Moonrac,,,,

 

Funny thing about Drift/Deadlock,

Drift is supposed to transform into a Japanese Drift car

But am I the only one that gets a VIP* vibe from Deadlock's vehicle mode?
That's awesome!

(*VIP is a customizing style that emphasizes large luxury sedans, blacked out, dechromed, tinted windows and slammed. Some say it's based on a mob/mafia/yakuza style, though when we sent someone to ask, he was never seen again! )
