Best chance is if you know someone in the US or Australia to ship you one. Maybe - if you're VERY lucky - one MIGHT show up on Mandarake too a while after release.

 

So revisiting the Netflix trailer, here's what I expect for wave 2:

Leader:
??? (Shockwave, probably)

Voyager with Battlemasters:
Optimus Prime
Sunstorm (seen briefly before Optimus crashes into him, his white bits are more gunmetal)

Deluxes:

Sixgun (Brave colors)
Elita One (Earthrise Arcee, new head)
Barricade (Too prominent in the trailer not to get reused)
Bumblebee (I think we might actually get a Cybertronian Bumblebee -- as a Flywheels retool, reused lower torso)
#5 ??? (Impactor, possibly. Maybe a palette swap of another like Ironhide as a new character)

 

I would have gotten the Hound figure if I didn't own a Hound already. As for Sideswipe the clean look Siege Sideswipe has for me is the best look. Scrapface is a new character, not sure about him. Hotlink a must. Megs is the only one I'm not entirely sure about.

 

Hotlink is my must-buy. I'm on the fence about Megatron since I already have Siege Megatron and I'm already having trouble justifying any more "it's the same character but slightly different" purchases, though that chromey finish sure is tempting.

Scrapface is a neat repaint, but I think I've hit my limit for Reflector variants from that mold. All the others have some cool battle damage details, but I've got the original versions of those figures and I can't get the enthusiasm up for slightly different versiosn of them.

 

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transfor...-Inspired-Decepticon-Hotlink-3-Pack/100876059He's out of stock. I'm also looking for a Hotlink, but I'm probably going to have to go through eBay.

 

Kinda funny, first time waiting on siege has payed off. I like all these reprints more. Megs, hotlink and Magnus are a must.

 

Yes Scrapface is like, I dunno. A random repaint. And I'm sure they have some kind of story for him in the new animation but just the design isn't anything special. As it serves as the 3x 1 camera gimmick. So what we need a single space sloop for I don't know.

 

Grand colours Cog? We see it in the trailer

 

He's an homage to a GI Joe figure, and for that I'm in.

 

Really? Which one?

 

Bumblebee as a Flywheels retool. Humph. Honestly I have no idea what they're doing with Bumblebee he's so overdue, but I think he needs a new mold.

 

By what we get of him from the trailer WfC BB seems to be the inevitable repaint/retool of Earthrise Cliffjumper. Plus the whole Netflix line is made of straight up repaints, so while a Duobot BB would be a fun idea, I think the chances of getting that go from small to nill. Of that latest possible wave2 list, I'd expect Barricade, Impactor and Prime to be the most likely to realize. Shockwave... I really really want a nice premium repaint Shockwave, but I don't know if they'll do two leaders, and there's also Astrotrain if they want to go for it, so who knows.

 

Sold out

 

bumblebee was said to be a different mold from cliffjumper by warden (not his exact words and his words can be twisted to say bumblebee will be a retool) but theres rumors of a selects hubcap (cliffjumper rehead) and selects bugbite (white bumblebee), so bee may share engineering but will likely be mostly new mold (like hun-grr compared to silverbolt)

 

Scrapface. Same color sceme. Same facial scars.

EDIT: Scrap-Iron. See below.

 

Scrapiron.

Scrap-Iron (RAH)

 

If I were more into GI Joe I would be tempted to troop build. Also if there were more TF/GI Joe homages.

 

Unless they manage to actually make him a VW bug, I think I'll stick with the TR mold that I can actually put Spike inside of.

 

I wonder if that means there's a chance of Rung being in the show.
