Summary: Who would have guessed God Neptune was the least remarkable thing to happen this week?<br> <br> <a href="https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810153207/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TakaraTomy</a> has revealed Generations Selects God Neptune! A boxed set of five Seacons (nobody loves Nautilator), it will be released in late October at a price of ¥22,000 - or <a href="https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-takara-tomy-generations-selects-tt-gs10-god-neptune" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">$185 from Hasbro Pulse</a>. While the rest of her pirate comrades are otherwise just simple redecos, Scylla received some remolding to have the robot mode be even more feminine looking than Tentakil already was.<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.tfradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/god-neptune-01.jpg"></a><br> <a href="https://www.tfradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/god-neptune-02.jpg"></a><br> <a href="https://www.tfradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/god-neptune-03.jpg"></a><br> <a href="https://www.tfradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/god-neptune-04.jpg"></a><br> <a href="https://www.tfradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/god-neptune-05.jpg"></a><br> <a href="https://www.tfradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/god-neptune-06.jpg"></a><br> <a href="https://www.tfradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/god-neptune-07.jpg"></a><br> <a href="https://www.tfradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/god-neptune-08.jpg"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> As we reported during RFC this week, <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/alt.toys.transformers/7w6_GYbWZ7E" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Zobovor on alt.toys.transformers</a> uncovered some new Deluxes listed by Walmart that appear to be part of their exclusive Netflix-inspired War For Cybertron subline. The list is as follows:<br> <br> * TRA DELUXE BUMBLEBEE<br> * TRA DELUX QUINTESSON<br> * TRA DELUXE WHEELJACK<br> * TRA DELUXE IMPACTOR<br> * TRA DELUX DEEP COVER<br> * TRA DELUXE RED ALERT<br> * TRA DELUXE BARRICADE<br> * TRA DELUXE ELITA 1<br> <br> This already leads to some interesting speculation as this immediately looks like some mix of Siege and Earthrise molds. But then it got a little more interesting when <a href="https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/new-wfc-netflix-series-deluxe-cheetor-listing.1193484/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jtprime from TFW2005's forum</a> found one more name with these: TRA DELUXE CHEETOR. No obvious mold currently exists that would suit a Cheetor with corrent beast mode, which leaves us wondering just what exactly this will turn out to be.<br> <br> But as listings like these can appear in store inventory data several months in advance of being released, we may be waiting quite a while still before we find out any real details.<br> <br> <br> <br> Finally, <a href="https://twitter.com/preterniadotcom/status/1261272234058027008" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Preternia on Twitter</a> shared stock photos that gave us our first look at My Little Prime, a crossover between My Little Pony and Transformers. Unsurprisingly, it takes the form of a pony figure with heavy paint work to apply Optimus Prime colors and details. This is the third revealed MLP crossover item, following a Ghostbusters pony, and a pink Mighty Morphin Pony Ranger. Release date and channel are currently unknown.<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.tfradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/my-little-prime-1.jpg"></a><br> <a href="https://www.tfradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/my-little-prime-2.jpg"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Thanks to all of our Patrons who are making this possible! <a href="https://www.patreon.com/tfradio">Join our Patreon</a> and let's make awesome stuff happen!<br> <br> Please support RFC by using our <a href="https://www.amazon.com/ref=assoc_res_sw_logo?"></a>
