Pass..

H3ll, I'm not even sure if this pending SS86 Rumble can compete with this epic little guy (nothing but the MP version has IMO).

But I'll keep my eye on him...

 

All the Walmarts and Targets around here are positively choking on Starscreams. I can't wait for them to go on clearance... I'll toss the Starscreams, I just want a few more thrones! Right now I have Jhiaxus sitting in the one I do have.

I think Hasbro suggested it was so you'd have tiny versions of bigger toys to put with your Titans to make them seem bigger, but that didn't really explain BB Shockwave when there are no movie Titans.

 

HasTak (rightly) assumes most kids will just mix and match figures from the various lines.

 

So that means SS Core Wave 4 is just 86 Rumble and DOTM Laserbeak (in terms of new figures, I'm sure there are repacks); no one else is rumored at this point, right?

 

Correct

 

Freaking Ratchet and Wheelie already showing up when I haven\'t seen ONE Spike.

 

O the dopamine again 

You all are just so lucky as I am still waiting for mine to be released by my crack dealer! About Wheelie, yup, PO'D the little sucker)! Can't have the 86 set without our little survivalist!
On Ratchet, a great harbinger of the upcoming deluxe! I can't wait! 

Da EF? he's been out for months! Seems there's so much movement that Hb is rushing to clear all inventory!

 

Have Wheelie and Ratchet even gone on preorder anywhere? I saw this post saying its found at retail and panicked that I missed the preorders, but I'm not seeing them anywhere.

 

I expect some kind of unannounced drop on Amazon, maybe at most a Pulse push notification/email. If I recall, that's what they did for Exo-Suit Spike. Watching for it any day now. Are there Amazon links yet to add to our watchlists?

Edit: found them!

Did Hasbro suggest that, or was that fan inference? I remember we speculated that they would fit in the Ark or have some kind of interaction with it, but then of course that didn't happen.

And BB Shockwave was probably an inevitable repaint of the G1 Shockwave that they just decided to release first.

 

Oh really? I just assumed it was a repaint. I don't have either.

 

They're the same color! Purple!

 

Interesting that this wave is out, when just about 4 total sightings of spike in a store have been posted.

 

Yeah I see SS86 Starscream all the time. I actually bought him once and returned him before even going home after checking him out. I already had RED Starscream and I actually prefered that model over the newer one. Yeah sure SS86 is nice for the throne and backdrop but I wasn't a big fan of the toy itself, not for $50 anyway.

 

Good question. The older I get the less well I remember stuff, but I could of sworn I heard it from Mark on one of the livestreams.

They're super different.





Honestly, and I say this as a geewunner at heart, the BB Shockwave is a lot better than the G1 (although it's kind of cute that they tried to cram in the junk from Siege's "spaceship" mode).

What the hell?!?
