Unfortunately I had a busy morning, so by the time I looked at Pulse, they were sold out. I pre-ordered the Seeker and Spoiler Box on walmart, for all the good it will do

Also, have the contents of the Spoiler Box officially been revealed (beyond the aforementioned rumors?) WFC Megs $30 / Paleotrex $20 (Gotta have something else to justify the additional $10)

It's got play-doh

It's just just play-doh it's also 3 tiny energon cubes too.

Yeah...You guys aren't helping . I mean Nemesis Prime had a ton of extras and a Battle Master. I don't see any way/precedent to arm a WFC Megatron with a bunch of accessories like Nemesis. I'm expecting at the very least 1 Battle Master as well, if not 2. If this isn't the case I'm definitely cancelling my pre-order and taking my chances on getting PP separately via some other means. Even if I have to pay almost double the price of a deluxe, that is better than just a WFC Megs and PP for $60+ tax.

The Spoiler Pack also allegedly comes with the AllSpark itself.

Siege/Earthrise Megatron with purple pelotrex

Hmmmmm...... I'll have to see the proper pictures before deciding if I'll pick this up.

Sorry o.supreme, I don't think we'll be getting any battlemasters, and maybe only a single extra weapon. The previous 2 spoiler packs have called out the battlemasters specifically in the product info, which isn't the case here.

So doing the math, new spoiler pack ways 2 figures, compound and 6 accessories. By comparison, the Nemesis Prime spoiler pack said figure, battlemaster, compound and 9 accessories.

For Nemesis prime, I have the 3 energon cubes, 2 swords, Siege gun, and 2 arm cannons bringing us up to 8 and I'm assuming the trailer is the 9th accessory.

ER Meg's product description says he comes with 2 weapons (fusion cannon and spear), so those plus the 3 energon cubes already eats up 5 of the 6 accessories. I don't think Paleotrex's tail counts as one.

Edit:

That would probably be the final accessory then.

I’m not really seeing much of a difference between the deco of that Optimus/Rattrap two pack, and the figures that were released a few months ago.

Good to know, I'll most likely be cancelling my pre-order then sooner or later. I mean, I'm not sure who makes the decisions on these....

Ultra Magnus was an indisputable flop (especially considering even now, nearly a year later you can still get it at discount price). Nemesis Prime offered a LOT, and was a HUGE success.

I mean I know there has to be some veiled connection to the show (as insignificant as it is, and the term "spoiler" doesn't really apply). But still, Neither Astrotrain nor Doubledealer got a second use. Heck they could have created a new character "Triple D", or DDD, (Deeseus Double Dealer)

Just a slightly off color, battle damaged/weathered Doubledealer with a random Battlemaster, because they aren't in the show right?

The Spoiler could be- *hinting that he somehow survived the explosion and transferred his consciousness to the Mercenary Decepticon, and arrived on Primitive earth. Have him in one scene, getting blown away by some BW characters. The End . See it practically writes itself.

yeah, I'm assuming I'll be cancelling my spoiler pack pre-order as soon as we see some leaks and info confirming it just isn't worth it.

Primal's feet are a different color and Rattrap has a coke nose.

The product description on walmart's pre-order page for the Spoiler Box says it is a Leader Class.... leading some to now speculate it is a repaint of BW Megatron despite what rumors have come before...

Voyager + deluxe = leader?

I'm think Leader is being used as the pricepoint here as opposed to the specific figure. I just can't see Hasbro giving us a Leader, plus deluxe, plus playdoh, 3 cubes, the allspark (if that is correct) and 2 mystery accessories for less than the value of the 2 figures alone. Voyager ER Megs (edit: plus deluxe paleotrex) fits the math with the accessories, as underwhelimg as they are.

Both previous packs were 'Leaders' since Nemesis Prime came with ER Prime's trailer and Magnus was already classified as a Leader.

Weren't the previous Leader Spoiler Packs $49.99, instead of this one's $59.99? That would cover the cost of a Beast Megatron and purple Paleotrex.

$59.99's the standard. Though Magnus went up on heavy discounting in the past.

They were always priced higher than leader class since they came with an extra bot

Also, leader plus deluxe would be $70, not $60, which is why beast megs makes no sense unless Hasbro suddenly got much more generous than in the past.

It's just Megatron's two weapons. Seems the only surprise is whatever the Allspark ends up looking like and how Megatron turns out.

Also Hasbro considers Deluxe figures worth $23 now so it's only a $7 difference they need to make up after Megatron and Paleotrex.

The Nemesis Prime set being a spoiler really took on a double meaning by giving us more bang for our buck.

I know they are likely Megatron's weapons, if you go back further than the comment you quoted you will see I said that exactly already. The comment about 2 mystery weapons was if the Megatron included was actually beast megs like some were speculating and me refuting that logic because then we would be at $70 for the base figures (leader + deluxe) before the 6 accessories were accounted for since beast megs doesn't have any weapons leaving 2 unknown mystery weapons (3 cubes and the allspark as the other accessories).

Well that wasn't long. Only yesterday did we get our first glimpse at the spoiler box for the third wave of Netflix Transformers toys. And now we know what's inside, an it is exactly what was rumoured for months now. On the Smyths website, where folks in the UK will be able to order this, we can see images of the contents, which is yet another Siege Voyager Megatron and the clear purple Paleotrex. Megatron's deco is similar to his previous Netflix release, but there are noticeable differences like on the chest. We also get some effect parts and a Matrix chain, which is a pretty massive spoiler. Let us know what you think!

And there's the allspark...looks like a big d20...does that mean megs is a dnd player?

The purple Paleotrex looks awesome! Megatron, eh, it's another redeco of the Siege mold and not a particularly interesting one. If I can get it for cheap I might snap it up, but I doubt it.

And, cancelled.

I'm assuming leader Galvatron will come with the same matrix chain accessory. I was hoping for something more movie accurate like a chain necklace but I suppose that option didn't work out over all as well as this one did

Time will tell

Bleh - ANOTHER Siege Megatron? Like those things haven't been shelf-warming for a year already? Maybe they just took all the other ones that DIDN'T sell and repainted them....

And they used transparent plastic for the purple Paleotrex? That worries me. That plastic is notorious for splitting and cracking over time.
