You were correct
BigPhill
It'll likely be Transmutate, if you ordered her. I had a small issue which they helped me fix the other day, but in part of the communication they told me that orders for Transmutate had began shipping.

Whatever it is, it's on my doorstep at home.

It's easier to see on the original version as tweeted, where you can see it just a touch larger.
Thundershot
It didn't even dawn on me that they'd put the TFSS 2.0 on the sticker…
G.B. Blackrock
Perhaps it's worth clarifying that at least one of the "2s" visible (there are several) doesn't appear to be part of a "TFSS 2.0" bit (as it seems to be on other parts of the sticker).

I suppose I stand corrected. I didn't think people actually liked the Prime molds. I know my Barricade and Chromedome are going on Ebay ASAP, just like my Slipstream did last year.
Thundershot
Sorry.
There's 3 pics on twitter. The first you can see the sticker with the number 2 on it.
Matty
Well, cool. If you're excited for him that much then I'm happy for ya
Insane Galvatron
Say what? I don't see his sticker in that pic.

Of the six listed on BBTS, he's tied with Treadshot for the lowest price ($54.99) and he hasn't sold out (don't think he ever did, unlike Chromedome and I think Barricade early on?).
Yes, he's a prominent character now, but he's using a mold that isn't much loved (combining ability be damned), Botcon already released a nice toy of him a few years earlier (that's better, in my opinion) and what does being or not being a Prime mold have anything to do with it? It's not stopping people from being interested in Chromedome or Barricade (or Slipstream last year). There were also people that were hoping he'd come in LSotW colors rather than the toy colors this release will see; if you want colors that replicate LSotW, you'll have to go the third party route instead via the upcoming Mech Ideas figure.
So no, I don't think he's the most desired by a long shot.
murphytronus
What about poor botcon fisitron? He may have been terrible but he was fisitron
Matt_M
Er, no?
Matty
That was sarcasm, right?
gawddammit
Yeah, this is the first I'm hearing about him being the most sought after…
I figured Thrustinator, or Chromedome and Rewind would hold that spot.
Lbsammills51
He is? I'm fine with it and intended to pick it up eventually, but I figured the "most sought after" title for 2.0 belonged to one of the others.
Matt_M
He's probably going to be the most-sought figure of this year's set, so you can at least look forward to that sweet, sweet ebay money.
G.B. Blackrock
While I'm sorry for your disappointment, I'm excited to learn that this means I can create a Ruination with real fists (yet with all-different, yet still relevant, characters) sooner rather than later.
Oh, well, maybe a little later….
Thundershot
Oh crud. I guess that settles whether or not he'd come with Roadbuster's gun that didn't come with Swindle….
gawddammit
Now that I've actually looked at the pic/tweet, I think you may be right. They don't mention that he's first, just showing off the packaging.
Makes me wonder who number 1 is…
