Im still at a loss as to why its acceptable that soundwave doesn't come with at least one minion...

 

I see alot of Shockwaves too. They basically waited for him to drop to $30 online to stock him locally at full price. Then these stores go "hur dur y iz evry1 b buyin' @ amzn lol?"

 

Found wave 1 earthrise micromasters today at Target in Boynton Beach Florida. Have a fresh case just got the 2 sets.

 

I hope the Military Patrol shows up soon. I doubt I'm that lucky.

 

I like that he and Soundblaster don't come with any cassettes, as it means you don't have to get both of them to have all the cassettes (as was the case with the FOC Soundwave and Soundblaster).

 

You know what... Thats a fair point lol

 

Parts of the map for earthrise from bombshock/growl and Trip-Up/Daddy-O's cards.

 

Sighted in the Puget Sound area today! Got my set, looked like there was a full case. No Soundbarrier or anything else Earthrise though.

As I look at the map pieces, the Hotrod Patrol's appears to go top-left of the Military Patrol's.

 

I really hope the battle masters don’t follow this with the map pieces. I want to go full completionist with this map but not enough that I’m gonna buy another smash down or rung.

 

I'm kinda glad this is the map they advertised when they first presented ER. I was really intrigued about that and had me considereing going full completionist on the line. With space and money running low I'm glad I can resist thar urge a little bit more.

 

This is why I proposed a TFW group project collecting scans, sorting out the pieces and splicing them in Photoshop.   I *only* do MM's and related (Astrotrain hasn't made the cut unless he has a usable cargo bay I don't know about, and Hoist's ramp is "why is this even here?"), so that's most of the line I'm sitting out...

 

Just got the Military Patrol today. Be careful when you\'re turning Bombshock\'s turret, it can get stuck and develop stress marks underneath if you try to force it

 

Compared to Siege Megatron, I still feel like Soundwave needed a free cassette to be of equal worth.

 

Just picked up both sets at Target here, a significant improvement over the Siege micromasters I’ve handled. Joints are tight and the parts solidly tab into place for the alt mode. The weapon modes are still garbage but who’s buying them for that?

 

EE had Soundbarrier briefly in stock but sold out quickly.

 

I like your Ratbat and Frenzy.

 

Anybody recognize this holding the weapon modes of both Micromaster Patrols? It looks like Siege Ultra Magnus' core robot, but it has a more Prime-esque chest to it

 

He was pretty into it!

 

hopefully not a leak of an ‘Earth Mode’ ultra magnus. Maybe a Battle Convoy?

 

There was an upcoming rumored RID/CR character with a base mode. Maybe this is Scourge/Black Convoy?
