I hope we get Shia LeBeouf

kinda funny you say that.  i'd run over a shia lebeouf figure but if they made spike and his dad or when hot rod and arcee got turned into humans i'd be all over those.

Is there rad artwork for this line like the G.I. Joe's, Zach?

Not that I am aware of.

[WookieFodder]

So if I preorder this set on Amazon is it really being released September 29th 2021?

[HellfireSamurai]

I hope this line does well & we get some Beast Wars characters. While vehicles have been a licensing bane for some linesh I don't see why we couldn't get Beast Wars 2pks with one mate in bot form & the other in beast mode. 

[MisterPL]

Tigatron would be cool. 

 

[cylonchaney]

Any version of Dinobot and Dragon Megatron!

Also, we're going to need Omega Supreme and Devastator Vinimates.

This packaging works for me. The colors pop. It shows off the product. This should be in the mass market but I'd still want specialty to get it first.

And so it begins....... ?

[Prowlar]

Looks like I'm going to have to get at least 2 sets to have both Bumblebee and Goldbug.

What is the head by Bumblebee's feet?

One person on Instagram said it was the original head that the G1 figure came with, and someone on Facebook said it was Bumblebee in battle mode. I love Transformers, but I am not a super fan, so I'm not sure which is correct. 

I love how you can see the Matrix of Leadership in Optimus's chest!

[MiniFiend UK]

I Do like them and I will be buying them. I just would have preferred Bumblebee in a basic yellow, just a little niggle but otherwise a great set of figures.

[MiniFiend UK]

I Just had to google who Goldbug was and came across this image of bumblebee toy from 1984 so it does look like the extra head is based on how bumblebee looked back then.

2-packs, but they will not be exactly the same as the specialty releases.

I'm guessing Walgreens might have that basic yellow Bumblebee.

Unfortunately no.

But we may be soliciting Series 2 as soon as next month! Fun lineup.

If the differences between what's being offered through specialty and at Walgreens is strictly packaging, we're running into the same old cannibalizing of sales that occurred with TRU.

Given that my Walgreens is offering Minimates at $8 a 2-pack, I might take my chances with their haphazard distribution than pay almost twice as much for the same product.

Is series 2 going to be another 4-pack?

There will not be Transformers MM at Walgreens. If you like the way these look, get them from your local shop or your favorite online retailer.

Yes. If you think of the most popular Autobots and Decepticons, you will probably guess three out of four. The fourth is a little bit of a wildcard, but makes sense for the set. 

[Trekker 42]

So Soundwave and Megatron for the Cons

Im gonna say Ratchet and someone we’ll never see coming for the autobbots. 
 

[jettstorm]

Hrmm I was thinking Megatron and Soundwave for the Decepticons. Autobots I would assume the "popular" pick would be either Jazz, Prowl or Ironhide...lets just say Ironhide though for giggles. I might then assume maybe Blaster for the Autobots as a wildcard pick but making sense as a foil to Soundwave maybe?

[cylonchaney]

We need Omega Supreme and Devastator as Vinimates.

[IamGroot]

I was thinking Megatron and Soundwave for sure; then Jazz and Grimlock for the Autobots...

 

As noted though, Blaster probably does make sense based on Zach's comment...

[Prowlar]

I'm going with either Cliffjumper and Hound from when they tried to take out Soundwave. Or based on Zach's clue Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.
