Yeah, I'm hoping there's some other Clones out there and not Hasbro doing the Scrapnel or Cosmos re-release.

Sigh.....Then again there were a lot of people who didn't both sets of clones because of them being in all types of different exclusives sets that year. Walgreen's Wingspan and Cloudraker were the easiest to obtain while "Pounce" was only in the Siege Of Cybertron "Gift"set at BBTS and Fastclash/lane was only available in the Chaos on Velocitron's set courtesy of TRU.

I ended up getting the Chaos on Velocitron set from TRU (Selling half of it) for Fastclash then buying the Takara set of Wingspan and Pounce and still buying the Walgreen exclusive set on sale in order to get Cloudraker but being stuck with an additional Wingspan.

So i wouldn't be surprised if this secret Clone set is just Pounce and Fastclash for those in the US still siting with Wingspan and Cloudraker.

 

Bumblebee mold. But seriously, we cried and whined about too many bumblebee toys and now we’re half-excited for him.

 

There he is!!! They look great on that box.

 

Why would we have SKUs for items at other stores? This is new information to me, so I'd love to know more.

 

What happened with MP Exhaust?

 

I believe They mean they could be exclusives to other stores in different regions.

Example you guys in Canada have the following in your TRU’s system.

Studio series Leadfoot
Cyberverse Repugnus’s Revenge
Cyberverse Seeker Sinster Strikeforce

These 3 will most likely be Target Exclusives in the U.S.

 

Exhaust - Transformers Wiki

"Legal controversy
Initial prototype photos of Exhaust's car mode (see left) featured markings strikingly similar to the Marlboro logo. Beginning in November 2014, toy dealers worldwide received warning notices from the parent company of Marlboro, Philip Morris USA. In addition to the trademark dispute, this paintjob also raised corporate alarms under the rules of the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement as well as the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act: under those federal statutes, smoking-related markings may never be used on products that could be intended for children. For some time, it technically became illegal to sell Exhaust in the U.S., and Phillip Morris pressed that claim aggressively—even against dealers based in Asia."

 

the cigarette company had a fit about the MP exhaust. I believe he was delayed and they had to do some paint work on him before they could release it

 

That was what I had thought too, however he mentioned Ectotron. That threw me off as EB Games and GameStop have their own inventory systems and numbering.

 

Well, if it is under Earthrise, I bet on Coneheads.

Sunstorm and Bitsream should make it under Netflix repaint line.

 

I hope that you're right but seeing WJ's cameo are on previous SIEGE boxes/posters is proof that they might not be released until next years line for all that's worth.

Keep in mind that Galvatron is also floating on the Wave 1 ER boxes yet currently doesn't mean anything. But fingers crossed that we might be getting a good upgrade of Galvatron (and Rodimus) in next years line at the least.

    

Cool, it just so happens that a few months back on the Earthrise Speculations forum I mentioned Bugbite being one of the few characters I'd buy from CJ's mold.

I'd buy a Crankcase retool of the mold as well (If you're reading this HASTAK).

 

Really hoping that new MPM listing is for Ratchet, but I figure after the limited release of MPM-1, they might be giving Starscream a second go around, not least since we now have 3 MPM Bumblebees. Personally, an MPM Blitzwing would be pretty nice as well, but that seems a long way off.

 

oh goodie, another set of clones I will never see at retail.

 

Is there a price on the Joe vs TF set?

 

Is it possible that the rumored clones 2-pack could be a Cliffjumperish sized deluxe Topspin and Twintwist pack? Maybe $40 with the two good bois and a few weapons to make them feel worth that price point?

 

Really excited for all of these. Bugbite all but confirms bumblebee

 

My guess for Selects G2 Megatron it’ll most likely be the Earthrise figure in his G2 colors.

 

There's product codes for Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker which indicate they're the remaining two w3 deluxe. Both are obvious retools - Wheeljack and Hoist - so have a fiver on them being shown at the Melbourne Toyfair ..... Either next Sunday or Sunday after can't remember which

 

I'll update when I can!

 

G'damn it Hasbro, gimme a new Banzaitron!
