    I’d probably buy a barricade. I’m still hoping for blue bluestreak.

    he's listed for the Netflix series. I'd give him a 99.5% chance of happening, and a 75% chance of being the Earthrise Smokescreen mold.

    I just can't shake this feeling that something's missing. If Kingdom is being released early then I feel like we would have more official information about it by now, but I can say the same about a fourth full wave of Earthrise. Also what about ER Runabout showing up in Target's system as number E41: Transformers Earthrise WFC-E41 Deluxe Runabout Listed In Target’s System - Transformers News - TFW2005.

    I mean they could still reveal the Kingdom but Earthrise was revealed at NYCC in late October and didn't show up until February/March. So if Kingdom is coming this year then they need to reveal it soon because they usually like to have four to six months between reveal and the figures showing up in stores. So the longer Hasbro waits the tighter that turn around time is going to be.

    Earthrise only started in February/March because 1 of it's waves was cannibalized into Siege, otherwise it would have started in December/January

    The fact that people were complaining about a r e n d e r being a different mold from what the actual thing looks like honestly kinda makes me wish the render was real just to spite

    just looking again, he's borderline knocking Prime and Skywarp out of my favorite ER figure position.
    the only thing I'm seeing I'm not a fan of are the entire calf assembly being translucent plastic and the huge 5mm port nubs on his shoulders.
