I understand why it's annoying to other fans, but it really makes my collecting life easier now.

That's the main purpose of these packs. Those are catch-up packs, a great way for the new or unlucky collector to fill in their collection.

Now, let's hope that pack will be easy to get and be sold at Amazon. ALL the Amazons. Even though I never needed it personally, I'm a bit salty that the SS '07 Movie pack never appeared at amazon.ca.

Not gonna lie, the rumor of these 5 figures in the repack having battle damage makes me a smidge interested

Wow all these collectible children's toys aren't being made because there's no non collector sales,
What a shame.
Maybe if the associated franchise made some decent media they could sell, until then there's no option but to continue to buy plastic I guess, oh well.
It's not like the only ones that sold were the 85 studio because the 85 movie was cool with not a very human centric story and was concentrated on the robots relationships, if only someone could bang out a fresh pop 80s tune and a decent story.
I mean bumble bee had og stuff in it for 30 seconds and seemed pretty cool, but instead tead we get a comedian as mirage a bunch of no names no story robots and some dude saving the day.

If only there was a way to fix this.
Oh well keep purchasing friends.
Don't forget to buy your minecraft fortnite lego star wars transformers figures.
And buy your no skin Steve transformers figure.

This is the post that really got that rumor running, and it seems like obvious bait to me, so I'm very skeptical. I know people are still salty about dead Prowl, though.

If it's true and it's molded in I'd be a little more interested, but if it's just painted I'm going to be very disappointed. That would be a very strange for a Selects set to do, they usually do straight up character releases.

I've obtained, and am in the process of reviewing the 'dead' Prowl/Ironhide 2-pack. And to be frank? I'm perfectly fine with the molded damage bits on both of them, and even their vacuous 'dead' faces. Getting rid of that horrible transparent plastic, and the ugly paint discolorations that come with it, was a perfectly acceptable trade-off, IMO. Not having to worry that Prowl's entire back half will snap off, or Ironhide's roof, is a HUGE relief. If they do the same to this new 5-pack, I wouldn't mind one bit. They'll still fit in just fine with my updated G1 Autobots. Only downside is that I'll need to sell ER Sunstreaker and Wheeljack. Sunstreaker may still fetch a decent ROI price. But the ER Wheeljack mold? You can't swing a dead cat over your head without hitting an entire pile of those....

So it would be a reissue of Siege Wheeljack from Walmart?

Battle damage increases its passableness for me.

This battle damage rumor seems like bollocks, anyway. I have all the figures involved,but i have no problem with buying the pack and selling off the extra figures. If they're solid plastic, they can say.

If the rumor were true I still wouldn't expect that to happen. As is he'll probably get the Target blue opaque window treatment, but if they were going to do battle damage it'd me more like this:

Yeah, I was really looking forward to this one, and honestly am surprised it was only ever planned as a store exclusive. Literally a character some of us have been waiting on for over a decade, completes a subteam from the movies, and it wasn't going to be a regular release? Makes no sense to me.

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Not gonna lie, the rumor of these 5 figures in the repack having battle damage makes me a smidge interested

Ugh. That actually makes me even LESS interested. I just want a decent earth-mode Hound, not a battle damaged one.

While it's annoying that Hatchet was cut, I would have honestly preferred a Voyager jet version anyway. And now that Studio Series is including concept figures...

Make it LEADER and you get yourself a deal.

I still have my DOTM Cyberverse Dreads on the shel and Hatchet still holds up.

took Jazz to work last week, got reminded how solid he is. I need to appreciate him more, he is a good fun toy

Whenever a new toy gets reveals, fans just want to know one thing: how do I get it. Well, Hasbro has been playing rather coy with their recent reveals and just like with Tuesday's reveals, we have now been given more info on Orign Wheeljack, except for anything regarding preorders. However, with this being a Target release like the previous Origin figures, it could very well be that you see this guy on shelves before your preorder ever gets sent your way. Below is the product info and new images, which features a really nice vehicle shield accessory.

Whoa, what's with the giant wings that weren't in previous pics of this figure?

Those are his blast shield, a separate accessory that has been shown in other ways before. Looks like you have an option to attach them in robot mode, too.

Check the back of the box pic

That Wheeljack sure have a massive backpack, even more so with the extra blue bits, but he still look BOSS.

Also, no BWBB yellow packaging. Interesting.

I will say one thing from a OCD perspective, it will be annoying for those who like MISB collecting to have this release in a non matching Buzzworthy box. lol

Wasn't it announced the Buzzworthy line is done? Any Target Exclusives will just have normal Gen Packaging ala Thrust, Runabout, Red Cog Etc.

MISB collecting is a bit pointless with these cheap open boxes.

GIMME! He should also come with a small non-transformable bumblebee in alt mode that goes into the back cab. Already got the energon rods.

I'm pretty excited for this figure.
And interestingly enough, relative the the vast majority of my collection, it's because of the alt mode.
That Cybertronian vehicle is awesome.
