Not exclusively. My secondary evidence was that the show hasn't used anything but Siege molds for it's main cast. And the spoiler box is explicitly focused on the show.
I dunno, it's just speculation.

Rusticon? Really?
Well, I guess it's as good a name as Cheetor.

Reminds me of Bollux, the droid from the Han Solo novels.

Rusticon? Really? Well, I guess it's as good a name as Cheetor. Seems like it's a lowercase title for a set of troops/hoard, than intended as an actual individual's name. It's probably akin to tfp calling the vehicon drones "Vehicon" on the package.

I WANT CRYSTALLUX NOW

I wonder what chance there is of them doing all the Fossils in clear versions. The repaint options for those moulds seem limited, so a second set of the same in clear would be a bit good. They're be like the Jewel Lords.

well. So far it seems like the fossilizers are modeled after the types of rock the fossels either are found in (Paleotrex) or actually are (the opalized Ractonite). Even though fossils are not actually amber, I want to see one made up to look like amber, or looks like it's incased in amber.
And if we venture into the premise of the show, then I'd love to see one in green, as though it's energon.

This was debunked as being a fake, so it's still possible that Crystallux will be in the spoiler pack as originally thought. It does, however, give us a nice look at the figure, and confirms that I want this version more than the Paleotrex. Glad it's a fake though, simply because that gives me one less reason to be annoyed that I chose to move Jo to Scotland rather than moving myself to Singapore. Now all I have to be annoyed about is how they regularly have more Transformers on the shelves and a much better grip on the Covid situation...

He exists, but may not be a single release, and might be operating under a pseudonym
We will know who he really is though!

I think I prefer the standard release. That is the darker blue one, yes?

I think darker blue is netflix.

Ah, right then. I just wondered cuz the cheetah at the bottom doesn't have the blue on the back of his beast legs.

Post by Toph on Feb 4, 2021 0:50:17 GMT
Kingdom focuses on the robot, netflix seems to focus on the cheetah, which I think is why the shins aren't painted. It's the only part of the robot that stands out.
Not that Kingdom's beast deco is bad, but Netflix seems to have a more accurate color selection. Wish it had more spots, though.

The lack of blue on the legs is annoying, because solid yellow legs don't look right. BUT the rest of it looks so much better, so I'm still going to hold on for this version. Provided that I'm able to access a Smyths at some point later this year, that is.

The Netflix line is essentially what Japanese TF's used to be like, ie an alternate deco. Sometimes a small difference, sometimes big. It is also training me not to bother with mainline Generations when they come out but to wait and see if there is a better Netflix version coming.

Possibly a mistake there by Hasbro. No, we're not buying two of each toy, we're waiting. Although I say "we", I know there's plenty of us on these boards that are still buying multiple of the same toy. Not mentioning Phil's name, of course.
