Cheetor's gut cannon Cheetor's tail laser Optimus Primal's morning star Dinobot's stone club Dinobot's Gun Dinobot's ammo sash belt The Golden Disk The Alien Disk The Transmetal Driver Tarantulas' Arachnoid drones ×3 Energy Web Stasis Pod Rubber Ducky Cheetor's Shoulder mounted communication device (5mm peg) Monitoring device from Equal Measures Covenant of Primus Autogun Unrefined Energon Crystals
These are just a few of the things we could have had if he came with a real accessory pack.
It will take me some time to stop being bitter about this.

Since I’m still short a Wheeljack, is there any clue when he’s likely to get reissued? That *is* on the cards for Kingdom, right? Thanks.

They would of course all (or mostly) have been unpainted. But that's fine - it would've still been a lot more interesting than a box of blast effects.

Sorry, was posting from mobile & was awkward to check. My bad. Main reason for asking is to do with preorders: I can now preorder Tracks who is also Wave 3, but not Wheeljack. Is this likely due to the sites already having an entry for that toy in its Earthrise box?

Yeah, generally the UK sites haven't bothered with the repacks

Odd, why's Bumblebee among all those Kingdom figures?

Odd, why's Bumblebee among all those Kingdom figures? Because it's highly plausible he was intended to be part of the line but cancelled, like Gears, Polar Claw, and Catbone. Or moved. I doubt Netflix Bee, Netflix Soundwave, and Buzzworthy Bumblebee were always intended for those lines.

I hope in the near future that we see Gears, To alleviate my Mini-Autobot Road fears.

It'll be here before that. The dates Hasbro pass out to retailers, especially Amazon, often prove a little pessimistic
They were saying June on Pulse for the Spoiler 3 box and I've had that from them a month now

There were some rumours that the previous known pairings were incorrect.
BWII Skywarp never seemed like a great idea anyway!

There's now a small run in the low 1200s F1207 Generations Prime Optimus Prime Figure (I don’t know what this is but it’s new) F1208 Generations Sideswipe and Nightprowler F1209 Hasbro TRA GEN K Deluxe Mirage & Grimlock Mirage & Grimlock are the same price as Sideswipe & Nightprowler $Aus 77.23 - also a Voyager and Deluxe and using Tigatron for Nightprowler instead of Cheetor?

I have to buy a Beast Wars figure to get my Earthmode Mirage? Unfair!
And again with Sideswipe, I guess...

Very google translate stuff, or written by someone who really has no idea wtf they're writing and wikied things. I very much hope that it's auto-translated, because I've re-read this sentence several times and it still makes very little sense. Either that or I really am suffering from a lack of sleep. Which would make no sense, because I'm not suffering from a lack of sleep... F1208 Generations Sideswipe and Nightprowler F1209 Hasbro TRA GEN K Deluxe Mirage & Grimlock Mirage & Grimlock are the same price as Sideswipe & Nightprowler $Aus 77.23 - also a Voyager and Deluxe and using Tigatron for Nightprowler instead of Cheetor? Well I was wondering how I'd be able to swing buying a second version of the Dinobot mold, which I was going to have to because I've always wanted a Beast Wars Grimlock. Well now I have the perfect excuse! The Conjunx has been after a WFC Mirage, but we've never gotten around to picking one up, so it's going to be SUCH a shame that the only way that I can get his Earth mode version is with Grimlock also. What a pity. Also Nightprowler being Tigatron makes more sense, they've had at least one re-use of the Cheetor mold in the Netflix line, so reusing the larger retooling makes more sense there. Although seeing as this is not a character I'm interested in it'll make things interesting if that Sideswipe is the unreleased, Miami Vice colour scheme, because I am certainly interested in that.

What on Earth is going on here: Fans can complement their vehicle collection with non-included Beast Wars inspired characters The Grimlock and Mirage followed by Dinobot, Starscream, and Waspinator join together to ward off the Decepticons/Predacons?!

This has been going on for a while now. Last year I thought it was a covid related thing, but since the start of Earthrise, the wave dates have always felt like they are about three months further away than they should be, but then the specialist shops start to get their supplies in several months before bigger/more generic sellers like FP/Amazon/Zavvi etc get theirs.
SG Blurr is an example - September for Pulse US/UK, yet July for ID Toys. Is it because Hasbro supply smaller specialist outlets first and the big box shifters later, or are the specialists sourcing their stock from somewhere earlier in the supply chain? Or will ID's supply just slip like usual and end up being September anyway? No idea.

I want to see how good the Mirage is first. I'm wondering if he and Sideswipe have been left out of the ER stuff because they're only minor remoulds of the Siege ones. Surely Sideswipe can only be a few changed panels in the car mode. The Datsuns were changed quite a lot for ER, but I reckon these two will be much closer to Siege.
