That's the siege megatron. That's the exact same thing they already did. With the exact same deco.

It appears to be the exact same paint job as Netflix Megs other than the scratches on the chest.

As I passed on this the first time they did it, I have an easier time justifying it for purple Paleotrex, than I would otherwise.
Though, I assumed it would be Earthrise Megatron with a shiny silver deco, originally. And I assumed that would be insanely close to "too same" territory for all but completionists. I didn't think they'd be stupid enough to what amounts to a repackaging of the exact same toy they already did (which is still shelfwarming), at a higher price.

Wow. That's pretty cheeky.
Barricade's paint job is amazing, but this wave isn't so much scraping the bottom of the barrel as gouging a hole through it.

Wow. That's pretty cheeky. Barricade's paint job is amazing, but this wave isn't so much scraping the bottom of the barrel as gouging a hole through it. Thats more than cheeky, the box clearly says leader class toy and fossilizer. When thats the only information buyers have about whats inside they better get a leader class toy and fossilizer or its proper false advertising. And even putting that aside, as Smyths at least are showing the contents and arent saying its leader class, Thats still a £24 voyager plus £18 deluxe fossilizer. £21 for playdoh and a couple of extra parts. Nope.

Well that's pretty much what I was expecting from that spoiler box, and yep, it's incredibly lazy. I had said previously that I might pick it up anyway since I don't yet have a Siege Megatron, but not for that price I won't. And since I have the G2 ER Megatron I've got an idea of what the mold might be like anyway, so I'm not really that fussed. Yes, I'm going to miss out on Deluxe Christopher now, but it's really not worth it at that price. I'd say I'll wait for a sale, but in these times of Covid that'll be never...

The Netflix Megs is worth getting as the paint job is astounding (and is not the same mould as ER) but that is already available at a somewhat cheaper price and comes with two Battlemasters! I'm astounded it's being put again as a 'surprise' toy in a spoiler box!!!

W3 Deluxe en route from Robotkingdom. Can't remember the last time the pound was that good!
I'd love to know what the maths is like on the Lambo mould as regards putting an extra part in the package vs throwing it away. Deep Cover is missing the gun his Selects version is! The retail versions have all been Gun (Red Alert) or Launcher & Missile (Sideswipe) There's enough examples of the toys out there now that I'm pretty sure the launcher & gun are on the same sprue as the wheels (both always cast in black) and the missile on the same sprue as the bodywork (both cast in the same colour)
So for each retail release some parts must be going in the bin!
I do hope that SOMEWHERE they've kept all the discarded bits for a future Battlepack - I could do with extra guns.... and the correct coloured missiles from Red Alert to swap with Sideswipe!
Personally I wish they'd cast gun & missile on the same sprue as the legs as per the original toy then we could have had white guns & missiles for everyone and only Red Alert's would have been wrong!
