Are we getting an Ariel and Dion 2 pack? Seeing it all over instagram suddenly and that Gamestop is releasing in April??? No preorders?

ROTB Scourge pushed back to April 17. Makes more sense.

Street date is May 1. I got them to hold me one and when I went in they informed me of the email stating May 1.

I called another and they said May 1 as well.

Second this and can confirm from 2 more stores. Also, apparently the sold unit was not technically breaking street date as it was sold before the updated email saying May 1 came out. Also, apparently lots of unknown skews for April 7.

I can't say I'm terribly interested in either of these two to get this set. A3 and Orion have broader appeal. Who's Dion supposed to be, if Erial is pre-upgrade Elita One?

Have all April to mull it over. May pick it up as an impulse buy like Siege Jetfire if anything.

Dion is a friend of Orion Pax and Erial (Ariel), though his vehicle mode is totally wrong, as he has a sizeable trailer, like a bumpy Rodimus Prime. Definitely not the Kup vehicle mode they gave him here. But what do you expect from Hasbro these days? (Not that it would actually make sense for Hasbro to tool up a whole new mold for a very minor character, but maybe a modded Rodimus trailer could have worked.)

He's dead, Jim: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dion_(G1)

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.
