We have a nice surprise for all of you. Care of In Demand Toys On Facebook we have our first look at the new War For Cybertron: Siege Greenlight figure.
Good-old fans of the G1 cartoon should remember Greenlight, who was one of the Autobot fembots seen briefly in the episode “The Search Of Alpha Trion”. To our surprise, she is getting her first figure in all these years thanks to the Siege line.
The mold is a nice redeco with a new head of the Power Of The Primes Moonracer figure, so she still retains her combiner port (which was removed in Siege Chromia) and the ability to become a Combiner arm or leg. Additionally, she includes a Prime Armor piece and a Battlemaster Dazlestrike (repaint of Lionizer) and a new fire blast effect. A very nice pack indeed!
We still have no specific information on price, release date or if she will be a mass retail or exclusive store figure. Be sure to stay tuned with TFW2005 for more information once it’s available. Click on the bar to see the mirrored image and join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

IIRC Takara never did Greenlight. Since they've recently done Skywarp and Ratchet they may well go back and correct this omission

Pre-ordered greenlight and skywarp because I'm a scummy completionist and I knew exclusives always end up being expensive in the after market. They're pretty good figures but def not worth those after market prices.
Also when?

The scalper market has made it very hard to get some of these older figures for cheap..it sucks. When the economy recovers..I hope Hasbro decides to do reissues.

I put one of the last orders in when Greenlight was of the 'still orderable' variety of out of stock and that was, what, March this year?
As much as we're likely to get better Moonracer or Firestar down the line, its a lot more up in the air for Lancer and Greenlight given they've basically been 'The other two' since the start but given the obvious demand, hopefully they'll turn up again

really 300$ im glad i got her when she came out

Which makes me even more pleased that someone here sold her to me for $20.
At least we'll have another chance at Skywarp thanks to Takara.
Now then,

Personally I'm holding out hope for better versions of all the fembots.

Over a year later, this figure has vanished, and eBay listing want $300 for it!?
Damn it

Well that's too bad. I would like for the worker to not have poor working conditions, but I'm not sure if their strike and boycott will be enough for Amazon to notice. Not that I'm discouraging you for taking part in the boycott, but more action might be needed, in the long run.
But let's back on topic, Greenlight is back.
Mecheon
The widely publicised strikes against their working conditions that there has been noise towards "Don't buy anything on Prime day" going on for months now? As in, happening today?
Make Amazon's higher ups suffer for their actions in the only way you can by ignoring their big flashy day and getting things at your leisure. Or, hell, from other sources.

What?
Mecheon
I wouldn't order from Amazon at the moment anyway. Nothing wrong with holding off.

I wanna pull the trigger but shipping will break me in half. Gotta pass on this one… again.

Look who's back…

YAY! My Greenlight showed up early!
The tracking said by the 10th, and shipping to Canada can take even longer depending on the customs agent. But it's here now, YAY!

It’s there on both sides

All we need is someone who can confirm this 5mm port on the tip of the hammer in renderings is there on the figure:

If someone who has Smashdown doesn't test this by tomorrow, I will.
