I have hopes for his MP version to finally be released, but you are probably right.

Honestly, if the changes are like the Datsuns, I'll probably buy a bunch more Lamborghinis.

I doubt it, it sounds like it is specifically for the character of Deep Cover, not a zombie army builder. I think it's either masterpiece or earth-mode.

Deep Cover is a Hasbro Selects toy, though. Why should his release have anything to do with the Takara Selects?o.supreme wrote:I'm excited for people that want Deep Cover. I'm sad that although just officially revealed today, people will likely have it before the next 3 TT Selects (Volcanicus, Abominus, Soundblaster), in spite of the presumed release dates.

We've also had the Netflix Deep Cover listing for a few months now, well before any rumors of this Selects one, so I'm not sure why this is confusing.Sabrblade wrote:The Netflix rusty Barricade redeco is being sold as Barricade even though it isn't him.Keelan wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Netflix rusty version.Dr. Caelus wrote:The Pulse listing says there's another version coming too.

That would be nice, but I think it has become an overgeneralized marketing term, kind of like Taco Tuesday. . Pulse has revealed several past release on random Tuesdays as well. Conversely they have on occasion dropped new pre-orders on other days (I seem to recall G2 Selects Megatron and Sandstrom dropping on a Friday seemingly out of nowhere...I could be mistaken). Another series of weekly reveals would be nice though...I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, Netflix Deep Cover was leaked way back in May 2020 alongside wave 2 and the already leaked Sparkless Barricade and "Quintesson" (the black Ironhide). Other leaks have said Netflix Deep Cover would be a Sparkless version along with a Sparkless Seeker (wave 3 Voyager along with Primal).
That's your second Deep Cover, no Earth mode, no MP.

Not quite. The other release the listing is referring to is most likely the Netflix sparkless version that was leaked via a Walmart app listing a while ago.

It's a pretend Lamborghini logo, with a star in place of the bull. Probably to make him look a tad more "Earth-y" than the previous uses of this mold.

Ah, alas I did not see that. But, now that I have, you've saved me a pre-order. So does this mean he (and Barricade) are dead? Barricade got an Earth Mode(!!)

Mea culpa.
But what of the rumored Earth mode Red Alert that's also rumoured to be the Walgreens figure? So many rumours, so many Lamborghinis.

At least in the case of Barricade vs his Sparkless "counterpart", they are canonically separate characters with the same body-type and the Sparkless has never actually been referred to as "Barricade" outside of the figure's listing. Actual Barricade is alive and well in the show as part of the crew of the Nemesis, while the Sparkless Datsun was only in basically one episode's worth of screentime between two episodes and got dusted when Optimus touched the Allspark.sol magnus wrote:So does this mean he (and Barricade) are dead?

(But also the figure releases in the main toyline and the Netflix show aren't a direct 1-1 translation anyway, since both Skywarp and Magnus are actually dead despite getting updates in Earthrise and Kingdom.)
We are allegedly supposed to be getting Earth Sideswipe and Red Alert as Amazon and Walgreens exclusives, respectively, but there haven't been any solid rumors about similar updates for any of the other Lambo repaints.sol magnus wrote:But what of the rumored Earth mode Red Alert that's also rumored to be the Walgreens figure?

Correct. I guess he's being referred to as "Barricade" as a placeholder in that aspect - I'm aware of the non-binary deaths.

I hope they are significant enough to stand apart from the Siege ones, as they are very good as is.

Deep Cover is a predominantly black and blue redeco of the Siege Deluxe Class Sideswipe mould. The colour scheme comes from Takara's pre-transformers line, Diaclone, the same as with other redeco uses of the mould like Tigertrack.

The camo deco really works well with this mold, and the shark face is the cherry on top.
Only nitpick i have is i wish the camo deco would extend to that leg area as well, because it just feels empty compared to the rest of the jet, but not a deal breaker.
Robot mode looks good as well. I particularly like the fact that his wings can fold flush against the leg, making him look tidier.

Not worried at all, just curious since they are a relative newcomer as far as a source for TF's. I refuse to pay for shipping if I don't have to and don't mind waiting, so I'm not ordering from them anyway. I'm getting mine from Pulse since I have premium there and free shipping.

Deep Cover looks sweet, glad I scooped one up on preorder.
I got my Super Megatron at last, and he really is super. They went balls out with the retooling and paint, and they did an excellent job with him. Fantastic! Mine will always use the TLK face, that is an awesome thing

Wrist swivels and maybe a peg on his forearm instead of elbow for his cannon, but otherwise, he's fantastic. I love that he has the 2 face, 2 forehead, and 2 chest options. A lot of fun to be had there
