Seibertron is currently at the Hasbro breakfast event at SDCC and we have some fun news to report. As rumoured, Hasbro revealed a 3 pack of Transformer Siege Refractor / Reflectors. All three are in their G1 toy colours, helping us differentiate them as individuals. The camera mode is uniformly black from the front and comes with extra accessories like a flash.
Siege Soundblaster and Bluestreak were also there and this is technically their official reveal. Reflector should be available at various online retailers soon, similarly to the earlier Generations Selects toys. Keep watch for more news throughout today.

I know it's hectic with all of the SDCC reveals coming up but if anyone could provide some insight I would be grateful: I've had Seige Jetfire on preorder from BBTS for a while and was expecting him in stock early this month. Haven't seen anything as of yet. I'm just being impatient but has anyone received their preordered Seige Jetfire through BBTS?

That Reflector is a thing of beauty, I need it, and five other reflectors...

On the side, it looks like the 35th Anniversary releases don't follow the size class rule with their ID's: Bluestreak is S64, but Soundblaster is S63. Optimus Prime and Megatron, if they're still a thing, would probably be S61 and S62.

Was just sitting out. Rang up normal @ self check out. Looking for the mini con pack

I don't have him preordered because of cough cough a certain planet, but more than likely they just haven't gotten their shipment yet. This happened with the recent MP+ Wheeljack who was supposed to come out in February, and BBTS didn't get their stock until last month even though other retailers got the figure in March. So it's more than likely just a core distribution issue with Jetfire. It not being sold out would more than likely point to that rather than them potentially just not filling your order ;)^

Amazon and Hasbro Pulse had these briefly in stock on July 1, other than that, no other retailer I know of has received them yet, so no worries, you have not been left out.

So much yes with these reveals! I was hoping the Reflectors would have new heads, but they look so amazing as is, I'm not sure I care anymore.

Uurg! As a collector who prefers toy accuracy over toon, I now think I'm feeling a tinge of da regrets for already scooping up the retail Refractors.
Looks like I'll end up with both, because there is no way I'm NOT getting that set.

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Riley Hoffman, we've learned that YouTuber TonTon Reviews has made a new video review of one-half of the 2018 Fan Poll Contest winner, Mirage!

The review covers the basic such as transformation, size comparison and how he compares to past versions of the character. He also covers Mirage's points of articulation. Mirage and Impactor won the poll last year, earning the pair the right to be made into figures even though Spinster has appeared as well and Needlenose has cropped up in a poll for the next part of the War for Cybertron toyline.

We have embedded the video below for your convenience.

What do you think of this version of this classic character? Will you be racing to get him? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews! Also look out for all our reports from SDCC 2019!

So do the instructions.

I expected reveals, but this is just ridiculous. And it's all SIEGE, not whatever's next year's line.

OK, with the reveals for the Battle Masters and Micromasters, in addition to the earlier Deluxes, Apeface and Astrotrain, the void between S44 and S51 can be filled. That leaves S55 to S60, one slot for the Micromaster 10-pack, maybe one for the Refraktor 3-pack... assuming S61 and S62 are 35th Optimus Prime and Megatron... 4 more releases until everyone is done, over for Siege.

What rock have you been living under? Hasbro's been "putting out" stuff that never shows up in stores in sufficient numbers for the better part of a decade now. Frankly, other than Refracktor they've actually been doing much better as of Siege, but they just didn't pack enough of him into cases to make up for all the greedy Gusses grabbing multiples before the cases are even unpacked so the rest of us are stuck with nothing. :APPLAUSE:

I had been buying everything from Takara. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But ever since the "brand unification" thing there's no reason to wait for them because (at least in theory) Hasbro's releases come out first.

It's also Skyfire. I don't think it's scalpers... I pre-ordered Skyfire on February(!) yet Amazon failed to deliver and I can't find him anywhere in-stock. And Reflector didn't even have pre-orders.

Anyway, I've kind of lost interest in the latter (I'm not going to chase Hasbro around) and I'm starting to wonder if it's a good thing that Skyfire never delivered.

If you remove the lens piece from them they match the generic Decepticons from the flash back episode reasonably well. They even turn into boxes!

Yeah, I'm going with the idea of getting both three of the retail Reflectors and the toy-based 3-pack in order to have a good 6-member group of Photons.

Minions are always cool for cannon fodder! :michaelbay:

And I'm never afraid to scramble!

I was kinda thinking, this crew for the MP shelf, the Box set Bunch for the Microman shelf, and keep the BotCon set as they are on the Gen shelf.

Refraktor toy color is a definite must for me, likely pick up just one of the toon colored guys.

Blue streaks alt is still not for me, will probably pick a barricade and then I'll have 1 car from the siege line up.

I have three store bought Refraktors. And have seen him since. To be fair, the first two were from a case that had just come out to the floor and I opened it and bought both of em.

Apparently, it's all about the ordering.

I understand why it exists, but, as the wave is brand new, it should never have seen the light of day this soon >:oP

Reflector is available directly from Amazon right now, he wasn't just an hour ago! You see? Once you play hard to get they chase after you.

And I have a $10 discount because they failed to ship Skyfire.

In the past, I have sometimes received an earlier shipment of figures than a lot of others. My suspicion is that BBTS sometimes ships product via air freight to get it in earlier (a bit more expensive...well, probably a lot more expensive) and the rest comes in literally on the slow boat from China. I don't know for sure that this happens, but I did work for a company that did that a lot.

That said, I still have Jetfire showing as pre-order arriving in July. As soon as he gets here, I will likely ship my POL...

Also, these reveals are insane. I am having trouble keeping up on the exclusives. (Already missed Ectotron, I believe. I did get Redwing today. But, I need that Refraktor...)

Haven't seen anything as of yet. I'm just being impatient but has anyone received their preordered Seige Jetfire through BBTS?

I don't have him preordered because of cough cough a certain planet, but more than likely they just haven't gotten their shipment yet. This happened with the recent MP+ Wheeljack who was supposed to come out in February, and BBTS didn't get their stock until last month even though other retailers got the figure in March. So it's more than likely just a core distribution issue with Jetfire. It not being sold out would more than likely point to that rather than them potentially just not filling your order

In the past, I have sometimes received an earlier shipment of figures than a lot of others. My suspicion is that BBTS sometimes ships product via air freight to get it in earlier (a bit more expensive...well, probably a lot more expensive) and the rest comes in literally on the slow boat from China. I don't know for sure that this happens, but I did work for a company that did that a lot.

That said, I still have Jetfire showing as pre-order arriving in July. As soon as he gets here, I will likely ship my POL...

Also, these reveals are insane. I am having trouble keeping up on the exclusives. (Already missed Ectotron, I believe. I did get Redwing today. But, I need that Refraktor...)

I have to say, I really like that new addition for Astrotrain. It's a nice change for a classic style.

What do you guys think the aftermarket price for Redwing is going to be?

Why are you looking at aftermarket?

Getting a Redcard is really easy. Bring in a blank check to Target(this was actually a few years ago, so you might not even have to that anymore) and they will send you a Redcard debit card. Comes right out of your checking account and you save 5% on everything you buy. If you don't have one, and you can get one, you should. I've never regretted getting one.
