    I think you guys are on it...
    Transformers Generations G1 Redeco Soundwave... maybe another line similar to the 35th Anniversary last year. or even just your run of the mill exclusives.
    (which I would have thought the Netflix line would cover, but since it's multiple waves and has voyagers at a different price point it's kind of a different beast)

    The Earthrise Megatron with a paint job as nice was the Netflix Voyager would be appealing. and a "clean" Soundwave. (although they'd need to remold the chest, right, isn't the battle damage sculpted on the door?)

    Great, another Walmart exclusive soundwave redeco, and another Walmart exclusive megatron redeco (that makes 3).

    The damage on the tape door isn’t molded, some people have cleaned it off pretty well

    Well, it's fairly obvious, Walmart is striking at Target, & releasing all red variants.

    Seriously though, Red probably means redeco, as several others have pointed out. Maybe they're going to be released in their Marvel colors, which technically would be G1?

    G1 Soundwave is still in stores and there is No Chance In Hell G1 Megatron will ever be sold in the US no matter what color they paint it (They Tried) so these have to be other molds in G1 Color Schemes.

    No way in hell is it a reissue of the G1 Megatron as it violates multiple states toy gun laws. Only way you would see a g1 megatron reissue would be the action master , if the molds for any of them even exists any more.

    It's either redeco, redux, or Hate Plague. Megatron wasn't around anymore during the Hate Plague though, and that's admittedly a cheap cashgrab out of all the repaints they could do, so probably not even that.

    So they'll be red?

    But seriously, even if Megatron get reissued, will they give him the orange tip (hopefully removeable)?

    Personally, I think they should just sell him in Robotmode. OR better yet, get G2 Megatron, and repaint him as G1 Megatron. Whether if its the green one or the purple one (or both) I think that might be a better alternative. But thats just me.

    Could it be a rerelease of some of the older Prime Wars molds maybe? Target’s re-releasing the Decepticon Clones who are from the Prime Wars era, and Combiner Wars Tank Megs & Titans Return Soundwave were the same size.

    Maybe cel-shaded, if they're "G1 redecos" of Generations figures.

    I assume that Fallout was telling a joke.

    The Netflix series and original Siege Megatron are the same mold right? And that’s the mold that got the 35th anniversary G1 deco as well yes? Perhaps since the new Earthrise Megatron is a different mold they will do that same G1 deco to it as well.

    My guess is that it’s G1 Red Alert.

    Probably just Siege Megatron and Soundwave repaints. I'd be surprised if it's something different.
