I take it she's like Chromia and has no Combiner port, which is fine. definitely great for Nightbird fans. I feel like her name was dropped on a list somewhere recently...now I want to see that list again.
Everything else that was on that list have been things we've seen confirmed in the past week or two, with the exception of Cybertron Defense Hot Shot from Hound and very vague hints at Coneheads being in the future.
Powerdashers? Check.
Rainmakers? Check.
Galactic Man? Check.
Refraktor 3-pack? Check.
Decepticon Impactor? Check.

Yep, that means that Redwing, plus a $15.99 LOL doll for my daughter's upcoming birthday came to only $6 and some change after the RedCard discount, coupon and taxes.
So basically free Red Wing and then some if you don't already have a card, assuming they don't sell out while you are waiting for your card. You do have to wait until you have the physical card before using it online.

Wish I could get the legends one, but this one looks pretty good too

How long did it take you to get your card? I was thinking about applying today after seeing that $40 deal they had going

Exactly a week, signed up last Friday, arrived today.
Edit, Another option for the coupon would be to pay full price (-5%) for Redwing, and get your rainmakers for less than half price with 5% off then -$40. I of course found the rainmakers today on the way home from work, before I got the card out of the mailbox.

I had signed up last week and I just bought Red Wing yesterday, and he came to basically $30 shipped. I wonder if I could still get the coupon because I would put that towards the rainmakers. Is there a code?

I think you had to sign up in store in order to get the coupon. The code on mine was individualized, not like one of their regular ad coupon codes. I've already thrown it out otherwise I'd snap a photo.
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on July 27th, 2019 @ 6:31pm CDT
Got approved instantly, nice! I'm gonna wait for my coupon to come in, but Redwing will be purchased within the next 2 weeks! Yay!
Thanks for answering my questions about the redcard yesterday Kev!

Looks like Overbite is Rippersnapper (no surprise), Seawing is Cutthroat (no surprise), Nautilator and Skalor are both Blot (dull surprise), and Tentakill...I got nothing. We are getting all 6 and gun modes though!

Whoops, thanks.
Also looks like they all have swords that combine for the combined mode like UW Computron's gun, awesome.

King Poseidon, which is standing in all his glory at the ACGHK event in Hong Kong, is finally revealed in full, along with all of his individual members. The full combined mode confirms for us that at least Overbite will have a gun and limb mode, and while we cannot confirm that the other limb bots will have weapon modes at this time, we can speculate that all 5 limbs will have gun modes.
We also get a good look at the individuals in robot and beast mode, with Turtler from Hun Gurr, Overbite appearing to be a Rippersnapper retool, Kraken a Cutthroat, Lobclaw and Gulf both retooled from Blot, and Tentakill... well, we're not sure, but it is possible Tentakill is a new mold.

Posted by ZeldaTheSwordsman on July 27th, 2019 @ 8:39pm CDT
Damn but they look awesome. It just figures that of all the G1 combiner teams, the Seacons would end up as exclusives, though, doesn't it? Somebody should photograph them with Noisemaze Mass Production Ver. and the BotCon Sweeps.

Forget the torso joints, there is no way his arm is holding up the gun. It's a good thing I like Overbite, because it seems like he'll be an individual in order to not destroy one of his team mates joints.

Honestly, they all seem sick enough to have one be on their own, I'm concerned about has/tak charging for all the new hands and feet, and then the combined mode won't even be able to hold up this leg - like abominus

It looks like he's holding a sword blade by the tang, rather than by a grip. Actually, now that I've gotten more into customizing I probably could make one, but depending on how much this is supposed to cost I probably shouldn't have to.

I mean, that's nothing a tiny bit of paper towel can't fix, but hungurr's crappy shoulder ratchets? No way, bum shoulders are permanent cuz hasbro pinned his entire body together, so you can't mod or fix it, which means, he can barely stand on his own, let alone strike a pose

Plus, they're all retools of pre-existing PotP molds, so the robot modes have to be retained:
Turtler/Snaptrap: Terrorcon Hun-Gurrr
Gulf/Skalor: Terrorcon Blot
Kraken/Seawing: Terrorcon Cutthroat
Overbite: Terrorcon Rippersnapper
Lobclaw/Nautilator: Terrorcon Blot(?!)
Tentakil: hard to make out, gimme a moment on that (or get me a shot from the back)

So far, Tentakil appears to be a unique, all new mold.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Tentakil: hard to make out, gimme a moment on that (or get me a shot from the back)
This close up of his hidden robot mode chest resembles no existing CW/Potpie Deluxe mold's robot chest.

Which is pretty odd, but I'd still like to see the reverse, or where the Combiner peg swings out from.

Hooray for King Poseidon being an Abominus retool instead of a Predaking retool.
Snaptrap looks like a good use of the Hun-grr model.
Seawing reusing Cutthroat is a creative choice. Seems obvious now, but would not have thought of it before.
Overbite reusing Rippersnapper's mold. That one was so obvious you'd expect it from the start.
I think Sinnertwin's mold may get a turn as a Seacon too. We'll wait and see.

Probably for stability. The 5mm peg by itself would be about as reliable as the Alternators-type peg on Sparkdrinker in this situation.Jtprime17 wrote:Tentakil looks like it's possibly from the Moonracer mold.

Perhaps the thumb can traverse over?

I know there is technically a grip, but it still looks off. I think a bigger guard would help it look better, along with maybe a thicker blade overall.

My guess (and hope) is that four come with hands and maybe the fifth comes with something extra, or is Tentakill and is still the same price as the other due to all the mass that goes into the head.

That would make sense. Though, I'm thinking maybe the fifth would be Overbite, and he'd come with a sorta stand for gun mode or at least something to stablize it
