And while I appreciate the faction swaps, there doesn't seem to be a symbol-less option for Neutral?
Huh. That's unfortunate.

I guess that would make this Dreamwave Armada comics Sideways, then? Since he was more like just an ordinary Decepticon unaffiliated with Unicron.

I always hated the 'leg horns', I'd always fold them back to make the heads more 'square'. And while I appreciate the faction swaps, there doesn't seem to be a symbol-less option for Neutral?
I did the same thing for the same reasons. I hope we can do this for the new toy too.

i can understand people questioning over if the whole head swapping gimmick would be included considering none of the stock images showcased it nor did the product description but the fact that people were questioning if the faction symbol could be changed even though the fuckin stock images show him with an autobot symbol in robot mode and then a decepticon symbol in motorcycle mode makes me go ???????????
In fairness, there's been at least one TF who came with stickers so you could just make him whatever faction you wanted, though I don't think they were removable-friendly.

People might have been worried that would be the case here.

(I also might just be giving some of them too much credit.)

I think there's been a few, such as Detritus and Overcharge, right?

Maybe! Not sure. That's why I hedged my bets and said "at least".

All I could think of was CW Megatron.

Somehow still sane

That's probably the last mainline sticker-based faction swap. The other faction flippers since then have been like Doubledealer, Punch/Counterpunch, Detritus and Cybertron Sideways who have both symbols printed somewhere on them.

Just a little FYI:
Entertainment Earth seems to be getting most of the first wave of 2026’s assortments as IN STOCK, including Deluxe and Leader case assortments with select individual characters available (Quintus and Quickstrike, that I saw off hand).

So if you can’t wait, there’s an option. Or, if EE is getting inventory now, we might see a good spread of availability in the coming weeks.

My Quintus and Jalopy just shipped from Pulse, so they're definitely starting to spread.

I didn't order Jalopy, but do have Quintus, Quickstrike, and Barricade on the way from Pulse.

Also got notices that Big Convoy, Razorclaw, Soundwave, Nemesis, Brawl, and Airachnid are all supposed to ship next week. o_O

Yep. Got notices from Pulse about these starting to ship now. It's nice that they're coming, but I honestly would be cool with them waiting until January to ship.

Just cancelled Nemesis. Still mulling the others over. I hate gambling on later availability. Been burned on that front too many times. Big Convoy and Razorclaw both seem like candidates to postpone, though.

I won't put down any preorders unless I have the money then, simply because I'm paranoid at this point. I just plunked down nearly a Bruticus-and-a-half for various medical tests, and property taxes come up in January, so I knew my budget would be shot.

For those who wonder if a Bruticus-and-a-half is a valid unit of measure, I'm American, so it's ok so long as it's not metric.

Just don't get me started on how many HasLab Unicrons my car payment will cost me if I don't pay it off early enough to duck the interest...

Bruticus is a tricky one, as due to recent prices, one arm is 1/3 a torso, two legs equals ONE torso, but the torso bot and the frame STILL counts as 3/4 of a Bruticus IF you don't have the other four. If the other four are present he's 1/5.

You didn't know Wheeljack was American? You could clearly tell by the earliest dialogue...
