I'm keen on that G2 Sideswipe. Just need to find someone who wants Slamdance.

[Sinnertwin]

Greenlight interests me. I wonder if she'll still be an Amazon exclusive

[hYpNoS]

skywarp is a NEED but g2 sideswipe no g2 symbol?

Does it have to be a generations selects to get that privilege :(

[SharkyMcShark]

I really like that G2 Sideswipe, despite it being a repaint. I'll grab it if I see it!

[swoop]

i was wondering what they would recolour fly wheels into and I think it’s fantastic that they put some thought into it and went with grandslam and raindance. A pity that they didn’t put as much effort into the sideswipe recolour. They could of gone with deep cover, G2 sideswipe is just lazy

[DELTAprime]

I'll be getting Slamdance to cross him off my checklist list. But I would have obviously preffered a new mould for him more reminisant of G1.

[BigTransformerTrev]

Will grab Slamdance, reckon that’s a clever reuse of the mould.

If I’d known they were gonna do G2 Sideswipe I might have skipped the first version.

Still hopeful Greenlight won’t be too hard to acquire

[KELPIE]

Well, someone's got to say it - Yay Skywarp!

[Lint]

That fire looks delicious

[dirge]

G2 Swiper is one I’ll grab if easy to get. I won’t jump through silly hoops, but as I didn’t get the mould & it’s the G2 colours I’m happy to give them my money.

Slamdance is a clever use of the mould. Not sure I’d get him but I’m
Impressed.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I'm always up for some more G2 Sideswipe, but that red bit really breaks up the car.... I guess it must be unpaintable plastic.

From a listing on Amazon UK (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/30/transformers-war-for-cybertron-siege-firestorm-pack-g2-sideswipe-slamdance-battlemaster-new-stock-images-389028), the "Firestorm Pack" has the Slamdance and Gen2 Sideswipe, with a dark grey and red redeco Battlemaster Caliburst, which is likely to be one of the Autobot Targetmaster guns.

Do I?
Or done I?

Packaging and some of the toys have now been leaked by some people in Asia, giving us the official names of the packs, and the toy names of the Battle Masters.
The "Firestormers" pack is actually the "Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/06/24/war-for-cybertron-siege-autobot-alphastrike-counterforce-multi-pack-g2-sideswipe-slamdance-packaging-images-390197)" (WFC-S26), with Covert Clone Sideswipe (black redeco), Slamdance (made up of Autobot Raindance & Autobot Grandslam - redeco Skytread, possibly a new head), and Trenchfoot (redeco Aimless).
The Decepticon pack is called "Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/06/25/transformers-war-for-cybertron-siege-decepticon-phantom-strike-squadron-multi-pack-skywarp-fracas-shrite-terror-daxtyl-in-hand-images-390264)" (WFC-S27), with Skywarp (redeco Thundercracker), Shrute (redeco Aimless), Decepticon Fracas (redeco Firedrive), and Terror-Daxtyl (redeco Pteraxadon).

The art on the front of the two boxes make up a combined battle scene.
Still no info yet on when and where these exclusives will be released.

Is it selfish of me that I wanted Skywarp in his own packaging?

MISB of the three seekers won't looks as good now :(

In-hand photos of the (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/06/27/war-for-cybertron-siege-autobot-alphastrike-counterforce-multi-pack-g2-sideswipe-slamdance-trenchfoot-in-hand-images-390466) Sideswipe/Slamdance pack, including some from Robotkingdom, so it must be out in Asia now.

Not at all. Having 2 different packaging sizes also disrupts the aesthetic flow of a display. You could always place SW in the middle, but that really should be for SS.

[hYpNoS]

Anyone know a safe place to buy skywarp from right now?

I see some listings on ebay from taiwan...but it seems the one I used to buy from who tried to pull a fast one with a fake tracking number changed their name, plus that price...

Robot kingdom doesn't have him up yet either

[griffin]

Looks like these two packs are now out in Asia (https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/newly-released-and-upcoming-toys-hasbro-edition.953417/page-91#post-17021222) (found in Taiwan earlier this week), so should start showing up at online stores and ebay.

[DELTAprime]

I hope these sets are not too expensive. I need both.

[DELTAprime]

As per the SDCC Transformers panel, both the Autobot and Decepticon packs are Amazon Exclusives and will go on preorder later today.
