New Video Review of Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Spoiler Pack Nemesis Prime

heh...heh..heh....Spoiker...

Frustrating case of first reviewer wanting to be first and not knowing about the toy or fiction itself... How ironic is it that someone who didn't even know this was coming is the first to get it.

Looks like he did some quick googling, but doesn't know that ER Prime is completely different from Siege, and there is no "Netflix Prime" (not yet anyway, its coming and will be the same as ER, just painted different).

I know what the cypher is, I was asking if there's any tipster to comprehension without going through it letter by letter. Like "the character for A looks like a lowercase a if you look at it sideways", shortcuts like that


To keep this on topic, I'm looking forward to Soundwave and Bumblebee from the next wave, I hope they start turning up soon. They're supposed to be next month, right?

Seibertron should trademark the word "Spoiker".

As far as I know the Deluxes are coming end of this month/beginning of next month, but here in the UK the Voyagers aren't due until December, not sure about the rest of the world though.

First time posting, how did I do?

Prime VS Prime got his hands on Netflix Soundwave!

Greetings Seibertronians! We've received word from a few fellow Seibertron users (Turned Agent, Praxiusprime77 and -Kanrabat-), we've learned that PrimeVsPrime has done a new review for the forthcoming Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Soundwave!

This Soundwave is a retool of his Siege Voyager Class toy, complete with slight redecos/retools of the first Spy Patrol Micromasters (Lazerbeak and Ravage). Soundwave no longer turns into his Siege spaceship alt mode, instead taking on his classic earth mode! Lazerbeak and Ravage under go slight modifications as well with their appearances to better match their earth modes (for example, Lazerbeak sports a new head).

Soundwave is set to release soon but only at Walmart for those who live in the US and Canada (UK fans should keep an eye on Smyths toys)

Here's what PrimeVsPrime has to say about the toys:



Are you getting this version of Soundwave? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I'm not as enthusiastic as PvP, because the back of the tape deck is a pile of scrap and there's hollow parts visible from the front. The Updated cassettes are nice though.

So I guess an impulse purchase if seen live in store, but I'll not be going out of my way to get it.

I'll probably pick it up because I think it looks better than the Siege version but I don't like Ravage so either I'll sell him or just keep him in cassette mode in Soundwave's chest.

Rodimus Prime wrote:I'll probably pick it up because I think it looks better than the Siege version but I don't like Ravage so either I'll sell him or just keep him in cassette mode in Soundwave's chest.

I'm in pretty much complete agreement. New Laserbeak looks good, but I don't really care for the new Ravage. I'm worried I won't be able to sell them separately though.

It occurred to me that I don't really want this for the tape deck mode, but more just because it's clean. I might try to get a Siege Soundblaster to have the mold around after I sell my Siege Soundwave.

Also, Buzzsaw when? Maybe that's one of the unannounced Selects sets.

This is interesting to me; Netflix Soundwave looks like a pretty great figure... And yet, it still could be better.
But I will essentially hunt for this figure, because I can't help but think that the next time a G1-esque Soundwave is released, it will most likely be quite different, and imo, be hindered (and possibly ruined) by some sort of gimmick.
Which also means it could be a really long time before we get a better version than this one.

I kinda wish he was packaged with just Lazerbeak... I too could pass on Ravage.
In fact, I wish Ravage was replaced by Frenzy or Rumble.

Either way, I'm really looking forward to this figure; if I can get ahold of it!

I know this will never happen but how cool would it be if they got Peter Cullen to voice Nemesis Prime and he used the Karr voice?

I know this is super random and unrelated lol but I've always wanted an updated, generations style toy of transformers animated Shockwave and when news came of leader class siege shockwave id hoped he was leader class because they were going for the quadruple changer. Just wishful thinking I guess

chuckdawg1999 wrote:I know this will never happen but how cool would it be if they got Peter Cullen to voice Nemesis Prime and he used the Karr voice?

He kinda already uses that voice in the live action movies.

I think if I can find this in the store, Laserbeak and Ravage are going become my next attempts at customizing a thing.

It's been so long since I've seen that one Knight Rider episode. Cullen does go a bit deeper in the live action films. But not sure if it's close to anything like Venger from D&D or Cindarr from Visionaries, those were great villain voices.

It's mostly on display when he has Prime say his most aggressive lines like, "Give me your face!", "I'll kill you!", "He's going to die," or "We will kill them all."

What I think is funny is that the cassettes have never really been improved upon. The originals still look the best in both modes, and pretty much function the best.

Next time, a bit more context?

Anyway, that's Prime VS Prime video review of Netflix Spoiler Nemesis Prime.

New preorders at TakaraTomy Mall:

WFC-15 Autobot Impactor
WFC-16 Nemesis Prime

Yep, Takara is releasing Netflix Nemesis despite their having already released their own Siege Nemesis previously.

This came exactly out of nowhere. In a surprise move Takara Tomy Mall is taking pre-orders on a new Siege SG-EX Soundblaster based on his appearance in the Netflix animated series. While mostly similar to the Walmart exclusive 35th Anniversary figure it features less "battle damage" on his chest and a Mercenary faction symbol. There have been no leaks or rumors about a new Soundblaster release aside from speculation of a repaint of Netflix Soundwave retool figure due this month. As an EX figure it will be exclusive to Takara Tomy Mall within Japan. It should be pointed out that this is not being listed specifically as part of the mass retail Netflix line by Takara Tomy in Japan.















Original figure for reference:



Netflix appearance:


It's unknown if Hasbro will ever release this version of the figure which could make it a hard to find collectible for fans trying to complete their Netflix lineup and unwilling to settle for the original Walmart release. Takara Tomy Mall will also be the exclusive seller in Japan to including ER EX-20 Ratchet and Lifeline, ER EX-21 Bluestreak, ER EX-22 Centurion Drone, SG-EX Rainmakers. If you have any thoughts on this release feel free to post them in the Energon Pub forum!

This Takara Soundblaster look pretty boss!

As for the price of that Nemesis Prime, oof...

Interesting that for the picture poses they stole Netflix Soundwaves Lazerbeak and Ravage

Takara's doing their own stuff again

According to Hasbro Pulse, Soundblaster is Selects and not Earthrise or Netflix, the 2 forums I've seen him posted in. I put the links to Pulse in the Selects thread.

Yeah, it's confusing. TakaraTomy Mall says it's a normal Siege figure while Hasbro Pulse says it's a Selects figure. It appears that Hasbro and Takara are treating this figure differently. Takara is selling it as part of their Siege line in Japan, while Hasbro instead puts it in their imports of Takara's Selects line.

RIP Brand Unification 2018-2019.

PrimevsPrime did a review on Netflix Wheeljack https://youtu.be/czGY7yv4Q5s

So, is it just the chest piece and damage deco? Reflexively pre-ordered, but pretty sure I'm gonna cancel.

Not feeling the paint scheme, the scratches and dirt nor the lack of sponsor logos. I like the regular Siege version more. I'll just keep that one and skip he Netflix version.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, Praxiusprime77 and Tuned Agent, have alerted us to the news that fellow Seibertron user and YouTube toy reviewer, PrimeVsPrime has uploaded a new Transformers toy review! This time the attention falls on Netflix Transformers deluxe class Wheeljack!

This is a redeco of the Earthrise deluxe class Wheeljack that saw release as part of Wave 1.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:



What do you think of this deco for Wheeljack? Will you be getting it or will you be sticking with his Earthrise release? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

They did Voyager Nemesis Prime last year, also a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive, Soundblaster is just more of that. There's still a bunch of Selects and retail exclusives from Hasbro that haven't been released in Japan while Hasbro has only missed NP from Takara Tomy.

I like Wheeljack and Impactor their my favorite Deluxes of wave 2. Preference thing.

Takara is selling it as part of their Siege line in Japan, while Hasbro instead puts it in their imports of Takara's Selects line.

It is confusing for sure, but it does provide insight in how the brand unification is put into practice. True, the figures are still (mostly) untouched when imported into either region, but either company is still allowed their own projects and especially release scheme, even if there's overlap when it comes to characters like Nemesis Prime and now Soundblaster.

The main lines in the WFC Trilogy and the Netflix series are pretty much shared, Selects is split between Hasbro and TakaraTomy, and standalone exclusives are free-for-all if there's a way to make them fit. Unfortunately, Hasbro has no real place for Soundblaster as Siege has effectively ended here, so he gets chucked into Selects with all the other TakaraTomy imports.

Huh, Walmart just canceled my order for Netflix Wheeljack and Red Alert

I've just caught up on what I liked from the first wave so I figure I'm ready for Bee, BOtOx1a-1 and maybe Optimus.

Redwings white paint chipped on first transformation to trijet so I'm just leaving Hotlink alone to look shiny and scorchy.

So is it time to stat taking bets on when Walmart starts sending out delay notices on the next wave of Netflix figures? They are due to "arrive" in 2 days with the free 2 day shipping meaning they should be released/shipped today.

I have almost no hope of them actually shipping out on time. Wave 1 was delayed so far that I found everyone I wanted in stores and cancelled the pre-orders before they shipped. I'm expecting the same for wave 2.

Just before this, saw someone on Twitter get their Soundwave delayed to November 17

I'll be curious to see whether my leader spoiler pack ships from Walmart or Pulse first. I ordered the Spoiler pack, Bee and Elita-1 from Walmart when they were first announced, but then ordered a second Spoiler pack from Pulse once we knew who was in there as I didn't want to chance things with Walmart.

Impactors and red Alerts are now being cancelled outright, and more delays with the other deluxes and voyagers noted. No confirmed leader delays yet

The only one I have pre-ordered is the Nemesis Prime Box. I was able to find all the first wave in-store, but didn't want to take a chance with this one (The only others I want are the BM's from the Optimus, and I have a deal with someone for that). So yeah, I was going to ask since it is scheduled to "arrive saturday" but there is no movement yet.

Amazon, for all the pains of delays are at least frequent with their notices. Target was a huge Pain, not doing that again, now I guess it's Walmarts turn to mess things up for me, though from what I've read, they've messed over plenty of fans already.

Elita-1 just got cancelled for me last night. Not irritated yet, as I was probably going to cancel her anyway. Waiting to hear about bee and the leader spoiler pack.

Well, just got my email, Nemesis is delayed until 11/12/20 Booo!

Got bombarded with emails this morning from Walmart. Three had the same message telling me that Nemesis Prime, Optimus Prime and Elita-1 were delayed to 11/12. A fourth told me that Elita-1 (again), Red Alert, Wheeljack, and Impactor have been delayed to an unknown date "due to high demand" (I wasn't able to order Soundwave and Bumblebee). Walmart sure is doing a great job of continuing to screw up their pre-orders. I pre-pay for my pre-orders using PayPal, you'd think that would make my orders a priority since they already have my money, but I guess Walmart only cares about the money, not the service.

Wasn't it great then that Walmart got even more Exclusives to sell?

Has anyone actually had their others fulfilled? I ordered in the first minutes of availability and also got the "high demand" email. If they don't have the stock for distribution and don't know when they'll get it, then I don't know what else people expect to happen.

On the plus side, even when they completely botch pre-order fulfillment like with Netflix wave 1, there's still plenty of stock at retail later. Put another way, I'm annoyed I'm not getting them yet and don't know when I will, but I'm confident I'll get them in my hands when they come out.

^This. After wave 1, I really had zero expectation that Walmart would actually deliver before I found them in stores. It would have been a pleasant surprise, but I definitely wasn't counting on it.

I have a back-up plan order for the spoiler pack on Pulse, now I'm wondering who will come through first and who will end up canceled.

Wow, after the trails and tribulations you had with the wave 1 spoiler pack, really hope for your sanity it doesn't repeat itself this wave.
