Via In Demand Toys on Facebook we have our first in-package look at the upcoming Transformers Siege 35th Anniversary Optimus Prime, Megatron, Soundblaster & Bluestreak toys.
We finally have a closer look at the actual toys. Optimus Prime and Megatron are labeled as “Classic Animation” versions and they show a very nice cell-shaded finishing. Soundblaster is a black redeco of Soundwave, inspired by his appearance in the G1 Japan “The Headmasters” cartoon. To top it all, Bluestreak joins to the Autobot cars collection.

SG Soundwave, hopefully!
Many of us, yes.. I hope they do a wave 2 with Soundwave, Grimlock, Jazz (unlikely), and Hot Rod.

I was just thinking SG Soundwave honestly, but those recolors are trippy

What colors would a Shattered Glass Twincast and Shattered Glass Soundblaster be? That could be wild.

I do

Good information all around.
I love the cel-shaded look, so I'll have to make due with the Siege 35th then.
The Twincast and Earthmode Soundblaster are also good tips.
As always, thank you very much!

I had a couple of issues with my online purchase of Netflix Soundblaster and in the end never received it. Lately I've been stalking ebay for a good deal on the Takara Soundblaster. Now that I know an Earth mode Soundblaster is coming out next year, I'll just wait. This is why I love leaks so much.

You guys really like SG, don't you?
Fenrys
Could be an SG deco as well

>Earth Mode Soundblaster
niiiice.

I haven't heard of a cell shading for either mold truthfully. Premium Finish Megatron or the original 35th anniversary Megs are your best bets. I know PF has a wave 2, but I have no idea how that works or what will be in it.
Semi on topic, there might be a Twincast (unknown if it has Rewind or not) and an Earth Mode Soundblaster in selects next year. The Netflix Soundwave mold is supposed to be seeing another use, but not sure how/where.
Cardion
Thank you. We appreciate you!

I can't speak for Wreckgar39 but in general I don't get much in the way of information on exclusives unfortunately.
I've also been told to cool it for a few months.
Hopefully we'll get some more officially sanctioned reveals soon

@Apollux & @wreckgar39 – We know Hasbro loves their repaints. You hear things long before the rest of us. Do you think there's any chance of us getting Earthrise Optimus or Earthrise Megatron in the 35th Anniversary cel-shaded deco? Generations Selects? Maybe in a future Premium Finish wave even?

Yeah, I wish I could catch someone doing that. Problem is, they'll just lie and say they purchased it like that and CS will be forced to return it; you can't call a customer out on return fraud UNLESS you have it on record that they're a repeat offender. Even then, they'll probably make a fuss and CS ends up returning it anyway.
I see swap outs ALL THE TIME with Marvel Legends. Makes me sick.

Anyone else wish they had a chance encounter with one of these asshats?
I tell you, if I worked at a Walmart CS counter and someone came up to me with that, I'd call my manager and then turn them away.

Well I have a problem, more of an annoyance. Two days ago I canceled my online order because I don't need a third. Then that night I got an email saying it was shipped. Last night I received an email saying it was delivered but it was not. I do not want to have to call Walmart to today.
Sylent
I've been to Walmart several times, and the only thing I've seen from this line was a swap-out from some douchebag.

Are these guys plentiful? Have they been seen at Walmarts that initially didn't get the endcap/initial shipments?
I'm getting kinda anxious for Bluestreak and if I'm not mistaken they haven't arrived at any Walmarts in Puerto Rico. Other Walmart exclusives (i.e. the G1s) I've seen in store plenty of timesand have even shelfwarmed to the point of deep discount clearance. Do you guys think there is a chance the 35th guys might still show up here?

35th Megatron finally shipped. Only two months late!
