Whats interesting are the pieces under him...one is faced up and looks like it might belong to tigatron with the striping.

 

Oh wow, you're right. That really looks like a piece that would belong to Tigatron.

 

That's some keen spotting, one might even say you have the...

 

Looks more like little green things

 

As in MP Tigatron?

 

Hmm, that could potentially be it too, but I think the implication from the person who spotted it was probably that it was from Kingdom Tigatron.

 

Touch?

Well, that was a Swerve.

 

It's only "The Touch" if you feel their presents.  

 

Maybe? Not sure what the parts on mp tigatron look like to identify it. I was really thinking back to one of the leakers saying kingdom tigatron was still in the assembly phase.

 

I would say it is cancelled and has been filtered through other means as why would 2 main characters be relegated to Netflix cause they are heavy retools which thus far that line has no previous instances of they were straight up repaints, Soundwave is also a retool, Thrust being an exclusive by the looks of things when he would have been the last Voyager to fit in Wave 4.

I think what with the pandemic screwing with distribution etc they scrapped it and just dropped em into exclusives.

Kingdom being stated for December all but confirms it. ID are supplied by Hasbro UK so a very reliable source.

 

Wave 4 likely wouldn't have even been a full wave either. Likely half new stuff and half repacks of earlier figures.

 

This I was definitely speculating too. I think a wave could still happen but it would be small. Think PotP small as wave 4 was literally only 1 dlx fig.

 

But you’re only looking at the pieces of info that can be misconstrued to support that theory, not all of the available information. Thrust was always an exclusive based on his wfc number being within the number range with the exclusives and as for bumblebee, Soundwave and elita, they always would have been Netflix wave 2 (based on the leaks in May), the unknown is if the Netflix ones were originally supposed to be dirty or not, which the fan Friday that announced them doesn’t really give any indication of.

 

Roritchi looks good

all orange plastic is replaced with purple

Grey plastic is replaced with a good looking gold. Not sure if the gold is molded or painted tho

Paint apps (red eyes) are still the same

 

I love ya, Dann, but this is half right ID are a reliable source, the Information they get from Hasbro UK is not always, cf. The Siege Chromia and Netflix Exclusives debacles, Not-so-UK-Exclusive Armour-Up Cheetor, etc.

 

It does not mean it is too much. What it means what I say is that for that money you should at least get the feet tucked in. How is it like im complaining it is too much. Look at other figures. They do not suffer from this kind of thing.

 

is there somewhere i can go to see it?

 

I'd like to see as well. Where is Roritchi even being released? Is it a Selects?

 

Not surprised for regular releases, exclusives is a whole different beast. That is just the point. Exclusives usually means better paint apps, more details and remolding. Not cutting costs.

 

Prediction: Wave four will have a mainline Bumblebee sporting an Autobot symbol on his chest while the Netflix Bumblebee lacks the symbol to represent his neutral status from the series.
