No, that photo was just of a prototype. The actual shipped item will be the correct color for the figure.

They could perhaps just retool his backpack to transform into wings maybe. Either way, I would want Skids to be his own mold (and I want a G1 Dialone Crosscut Selects out of it).
I wonder how will they make a proper Wreck-Gar this time... If Hasbro wants to prolong SS86 line, they need to make almost all characters appeared on the film. And it's gonna be a long long list. Will they finally release a Leader Class OP with Trailer that is accurate to the film? Or skip it because G1 accuracy design is "reserved" for masterpiece line? For sure they will not make a Megatron coz he's a GUN in the film. I don't mind them repacking Netflix WFC BB and Soundwave under SS86 line. You gotta think how different SS86 Arcee if ever they make it compared to ER Arcee.
I doubt they’ll bring in characters like Arcee, Ultra Magnus, Soundwave, etc... in the ss86 line, since those characters got some accurate figures this year and next year.
Ok, while I agree PrimeVsPrime gets “questionably obtained” products, he is only verbal if he doesn’t like a figure. He handles them well, and in my opinion, his videos FAR outclass TonTon’s. In fact, he seems to go out of his way to find positives about figures, even when they’re bad. I understand if you don’t like the way he gets his figures, but his reviews are MILES better than TonTon’s.
I’m guessing Gnaw and Wreck-Gar will be in Wave 2. With WFC covering a lot of the cast already there aren’t many left to do. They might get around to those characters in the future, but for now I’d like them to do characters they haven’t done yet. Blitzwing and the Insecticons The other Dinobots, Blaster, The Cassettes, Perceptor, Brawn, and if you really want to scratch the bottom of the barrel Windcharger and maybe Gears. I really want all 18 of the Ark Crew ok? I know the leakers said there is currently no plans for a few of these, but I figure SS86 will get to them eventually. Just need to be patient as we get through Covid.
To use the serial number is not really smart. Did you see how many numbers has the serial number? Jazz will need a couple of doors for the entire number. It is not hard to understand how the number 14 is related to the number 4 and what is the reference implied. Not a big deal here.
I think someone said Blitzwing was pretty much one that won’t get a figure next year. But they also said there’s plan to make him for 2022 or 2023, other than that it seems like we’re going to get everyone from the 86 movie.
Was just checking Pulse this morning and really the only figure you can still pre-order is Blurr. I'm gonna get almost all of them except for Jazz. Just something about the way he looks that bothers me with having his doors not peaking out from each side. I'm gonna have to watch several reviews to really decide whether I want him. I currently have Grimlock and scourge on order from Pulse for the SS 86' line so far. I'm gonna just wait longer to get the others but Hot-Rod and Kup will just have to wait a little longer.
Jazz, Kup, Blurr and Scourge are still available for preorder on Amazon. Grimlock and Hot Rod are unavailable. Keep in mind that all SS86 have being in and out, it is likely to see new pre-orders for Grimlock and Hot Rod soon. 2021 will be an expensive year!
