Thanks to Seibertronian Decepticon Finishline, we have word that not only are two new War for Cybertron figures newly revealed, but preorders for the set are live on Amazon!
Ratchet and Lifeline are two figures that are natural remolds (and in Lifeline's case, a recolor) of two Earthrise figures, Ironhide and Arcee, respectively). Lifeline comes with a recolored version of Arcee's blaster, referred to as an Energon infuser, and Ratchet comes with a recolored version of Ironhide's gun. From Amazon's description:
As the Autobots and Decepticons speed through space during the events of Earthrise, special side missions take some of their members off course. Their duties lead them to unfamiliar planets where they encounter epic adventures and unknown dangers. Now fans can come along for the journey and explore the Transformers universe through the Galactic Odyssey Collection. Energon supplies are low aboard the Ark. Teletraan 1 detects an Energon-rich planet and Rachet sets out on a retrieval mission. He arrives on Paradron to find Lifeline, a Paradron medic and one of the pacifist refugees that populate the planet after fleeing the war on Cybertron. Ratchet and Lifeline join forces in this Paradron Medics 2-pack! The Autobot Ratchet figure converts to ambulance mode in 22 steps and comes with a arc welder accessory. The Paradron medic figure, Lifeline, converts to Cybertronian vehicle moRatchet and Lifeline join forces in this Paradron Medics 2-pack! The Autobot Ratchet figure converts to ambulance mode in 22 steps and comes with a arc welder accessory. The Paradron medic figure, Lifeline, converts to Cybertronian vehicle mode in 15 steps and comes with a Energon infuser accessory. Also comes with a Paradron planet card with key details about the planet.de in 15 steps and comes with a Energon infuser accessory. Also comes with a Paradron planet card with key details about the planet.
This pair is up for order on Amazon right now (though they're not due for release until December 1st) and the listing can be accessed by clicking any of the above pictures, or the highlighted link.

Not that I need them but picked up a set anyway. It'll be nice to have a Lifeline who can actually use her Targetmaster Quickslinger though.
Just noticed that Earthrise Ratchet looks to not be using any of the Siege Ratchet retooled parts and is a straight Earthrise Ironhide new head redeco with what appears to be Earthrise Prowl's light bar. I guess it makes sense though since Siege Ratchet's shoulders are made to look like emergency lights and they'd look more awkward in Earthrise Ratchet's vehicle mode than Ironhide's already do. That and there's no way they'd be able to fit with the new roof given the different dimensions they have. The lights on Siege Ratchet's shoulders would definitely hit the windows. Shame they didn't account for that when they designed that roof piece, not that it really matters.

They both look really good! Don't need or really want them though. Has this been rumored at all? I know a Ratchet version of ER Ironhide was inevitable, but did we have any knowledge of these figures coming out before now?

There'd been a few leaks, but the guy who leaked them said they were Selects, and then later corrected himself to say that they weren't a two pack. Guess he was wrong thereDecepticon Stryker wrote:They both look really good! Don't need or really want them though. Has this been rumored at all?

Ratchet manages to look even better than Ironhide somehow, despite not having any unique accessories.
I'm disappointed that Hasbro can't be more creative with these various Arcee repaints, but considering Paradron Medic was a straight recolor of Arcee in the cartoon, I guess she gets a pass. Mostly I wish they'd retooled Elita's alt mode as well.

This is odd, but interesting. I wonder why it comes in generic "Selects like" packaging, instead of the more stylized packaging of the other Amazon 2-packs.... oh well....
In any case, this makes me more excited for the next 2 TF Tuesdays because now we have no idea at this moment what they will be.

Ah, that explains why I didn't even notice. Wish they'd made it more like the cartoon model but I suppose they had to cut corners somewhere with all that robot mode retooling.

Looks like Ratchet wins this round, drawing him to 1-1 after Ironhide won Siege. Ratchet really wears the earth mode tooling well. And he's got a way better deco than Siege Ratchet, but it still makes a couple of odd deco choices. Why the grey hands and thighs? It's almost like the design team loves everything about G1 except Ratchet's color scheme. 
At least he has a good deco this time though, accuracy aside. But he still has the cartoon head deco, and a Marvel red helmet was kinda my threshold for replacing Siege Ratchet, so...
Still want a Marvel accurate Ratchet.
Lifeline looks solid, I like the shade of green. That's about all I have to say.

So the most interesting part of this, IMO, is that the description makes it pretty clear that we're getting 4 more of these, and the box seems to indicate which planets each one will be, so speculation time!
We appear to be getting sets for Micron (combination of Micromaster and Minicon planets), Botropolis (Go-Bot planet), Dominus (Planet Master but renamed?), and Biosfera (Doesn't really exist, according to TFWiki, might be Beast-themed?), so I'm guessing:
Micron: A pack of Micromasters like the Target pack, presumably, or possibly another Unicron Trilogy homage (CD Red Alert from Doubledealer, Demolishor from Siege Impactor, CD Scattorshot from Siege Impactor, I could go on)
Botropolis: Another Bug Bite-style Go-Bot update (Treds from Kingdom Warpath or Road Ranger from Kingdom Huffer, maybe, since Ratchet & Lifeline aren't out until December and these should come afterwards, or Crasher/Fracture from Siege Mirage?)
Dominus: Some sort of Headmaster/Targetmaster-affiliated character? (Artfire from ER Grapple/Kingdom G1 Inferno?)
Biosfera: Ummm....Missing Beast Wars guys or a general beastformer character? (Tarantulas from Kingdom Blackarachnia? There aren't really any beast mode molds in Siege or ER already barring the Horrorcons)
Also, if these work the way this one seems to, the story is that crewmembers of the Ark and Nemesis (and maybe, hopefully, some Mercs?) are going to these places and encountering the other bot in the set, so each one should just come with any repaint/retool of one of the pre-existing molds, like Ratchet, so that could be...really anyone that Hasbro wants (Hauler, Deadlock from Siege Springer, Detritus from Siege Hound, more Seekers, etc).
Anyone else got any ideas?

Ratchet as usual always wears a look better then Ironhide.
This is of course due to Ironhide's base design, him and Sideswipe with their head designs and colors of mostly red are the prime example of "generic design" amongst the early Autobots which I think works for them since they are just members of the Autobot army with basic roles so for all intents and purposes they are just named/important generic soldiers but it does make their more specialized mold-mates Ratchet and Red Alert look cooler in comparison.

Preordered. Mainly in it for Ratchet, but I have a buddy in my unit who’s new to collecting who’d get a kick out of Lifeline.
Makes me wonder what the other four sets will be.
Also this made me think; considering the state of the world what with COVID-19, perhaps releasing these as online exclusives is Hasbro’s attempt at encouraging social distancing.

If you folks that cannot find it are not in the US, that could be why. I'm seeing several posts on Twitter from people complaining about another US-only exclusive, which I find somewhat understandable. It is freaking 2020 and international shipping is not magic.

Thrust has his own number, E26, and a Target listing for just him, whereas this set doesn't have any numbering as far as we know, so Thrust shouldn't be in one of these, and I think the running theory is that the listing for Netflix Barricade is going to be an ER Barricade.
From which Seeker mold though, Siege or Earthrise? Now that I have my Dirge and Ramjet, I have experienced both molds, and I still would prefer to keep using the Siege Tetrajet mold for the missing non-Conehead Seekers (especially so potential Sunstorm and Bitstream releases would match Hotlink) with the exception of maybe Slipstream, I think the ER mold most suits the retooling she would need.

Same. I'd prefer the Siege mold, but as long as we get a Sunstorm I'm fine either way.

For Sunstorm I'd prefer the ER body. I mainly know him from Dreamwave and I don't really associate him with the other "Welcoming committee" members.
The link for Ratchet / Lifeline doesn't seem to be working for me. I already have FunPub's Lifeline. I guess she can be a different medic? Were there more than one in that one episode?

I'm not in the US, so it may be this. Pretty weird that it doesn't just say "Does not ship to your country" instead of doing weird shenanigans.

I would prefer the Siege mold for Bitstream and Sunstorm, the standard seeker body for Slipstream and Blackout, and a combo of the standard/conehead seeker body for Nacelle.

I'm also hoping this is the last hurrah for this number of figures. How many figures are we getting this year? The amount of exclusives is insane, between netflix, selects, these boxsets on Amazon, Centurion drone, there are so damn many! They are redoing almost every figure from last year plus a whole other years worth of figures basically.
I hope kingdom is a return to somewhat normal, I think we have hit the point of too many figure releases

Me personally, I don't mind the mold (I'm okay with removable kibble if it makes the bot mode look better), and Ratchet was always the van guy I wanted anyway, so I'm really looking forward to this set. Now that I think about it, I'm probably gonna end up buying all 3 verisons of this mold, since I've got Arcee and Elita-1 on pre order already.
Posted by Autobot N on August 27th, 2020 @ 9:27pm CDT
You could always give Lifeline a chance, and if you don't like her, sell her to someone else. She's an army builder, so you'll have no problem finding a buyer.trouvadour62 wrote:I really want the new Ratchet, but I strongly dislike this Arcee mold.

Yeah, I'm interested in Ratchet, but really don't want Lifeline. They both look like good figures...
As is, looks like I'm in for MP Starscream, and there's still the SS '86 Movie figures on the docket.
So this medics 2 pack may be a pass for me.

Maybe it's being restricted because I'm in Canada? I've never had Amazon say something just isn't in stock before ... just that it couldn't ship to me.
Edit: Just tried through a VPN. Yep, it's because I'm in Canada. Weird way to handle it.

What's most interesting about Ratchet is how wrong the leaks and rumors have been. I'm pretty sure none of them actually said he'd be packed with Lifeline, just that they were both being made, I think it was just our own speculation that they'd be paired together.
Rumor: Ratchet will be a Walgreens exclusive again. Nope.
Speculation: Ratchet would have a retail release because Ironhide is an exclusive. Nope.
Leak: Ratchet is a Selects figure. No, but easy to see how the mistake would be made coming in the cardboard box.
Leak: Ratchet is a Leader class release. No, but maybe they based that on the size of the box?
Most recent leak: Ratchet comes with a number of tools like the Siege version: Surprisingly not true.
If that last leak did see a number of tools that could mean we do have another weapons pack coming soon like with the Centurion drone.
Alternatively it could be the resting place for those unreleased ER Battle Masters that we saw designs leaked for, maybe also include repaints of Soundbarrier, Slitherfang, and Doublecrosser for a 5-pack.

Yay! So glad Ratchet is being released in the near future, and the Lifeline Paradron Medic figure is a great bonus too. I'm going to keep my TFSS Lifeline as the character lifeline, and this "Earthrise" version will be a generic Paradron Medic. In fact, I ordered three sets to "army" build. Is it still army building if the characters are pacifists?
Anyway, I only need one Ratchet figure, so I'm looking to sell the extra two. Is anyone looking to get just Earthrise Ratchet and skip on Lifeline/Paradron Medic? If so, please PM me.
Wait, what!? I don't remember seeing or reading about thee supposed unreleased Earthrise Battle Masters before. Where can I find them?

Ratchet and Lifeline look nice.
I hope they repaint Ratchet with the red helmet coloration he has in the comics.
Day 241 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.
