There probably is. Gamestop has a bunch of sku's with no names, so there's bound to be more transformers.

Re: GameStop.ca (formerly EB Games) Transformers Sightings and discussion
Has anyone else *not* gotten a Skyquake notification? Mine was for in store pickup, but when I noticed it available on Amazon I checked my order and noticed the release date had changed to March 9 so I called the store and they said they had never gotten any (and that at least one other person had a preorder too). Other people in the thread posted on the 9th that theirs were coming - is anyone else in the same boat? Is GameStop just going to sit on my preorder deposit until it someday maybe cancels the order?

I haven't gotten my in-store preorder yet.

I just got mine today, shipped to home. Maybe filled those first and later stock will go to stores.

Just went to my local store and they said that they will hold a War Dawn set for me and sell it to me on May 1st.

The trick is to be lucky enough to show up at the store after the shipment, but before corporate sends out the "do not sell" emails. That's how I got my Covert Agent Ravage set.

Mmhm, but it also depends on where you live. In my case, stuff takes a bit to cross a ferry anyways, so I knew I wasn't getting them before the email.
The wait begins.

Just another casualty of the War for Cybertron.
I like the set though, if I can get my hands on it, it'll go well with my A3 & Orion. Plus the mold for Dion will match a lot better than the previous one based on generations Hot Shot.

Thank you @Philtastic and @kirbenvost for explaining. The new TFW pictures of the actual toys were implying (to my limited knowledge) that Dion was Ultra Magnus and I had to double take, but it seems more that the photographer just wanted a counterpart to stand in, whether it made sense or not.

There's a fan theory that Dion was rebuilt into Ultra Magnus as Optimus refers to him as "old friend" in the movie.

Re: GameStop.ca (formerly EB Games) Transformers Sightings and discussion
Not only do not sell until May 1,do not pre-order apparently... I tried to pre-order and they said the system won't let them. SIGH.
