Title:
Transformers WFC Generations Selects Deep Cover Deluxe WFC-GS23
Description:
Loose
Deep Cover (Deluxe Class, 2021)
Series: War for Cybertron: Earthrise
ID number: WFC-GS23
Accessories: Missile launcher, missile, blaster
A Generations Selects add-on to Earthrise, Deep Cover is a redeco of Siege Sideswipe, transforming from robot to Cybertronian car and back. Deep Cover keeps a similar deco layout to ”Covert Clone Sideswipe”, but has royal blue plastic in place of Sideswipe’s red, as well as police badges placed on his chest and the side of his vehicle mode. Deep Cover has multiple 5 mm ports and 3 mm posts to accommodate the C.O.M.B.A.T. System/F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology weaponry and ”Fire Blast” effects, respectively. As with Tigertrack, Deep Cover borrows Sideswipe’s (non-firing) missile launcher and missile, and Red Alert’s gun, both of which are compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System.
A unique case amongst Generations Selects releases, the toy packaging features Earthrise-style graphics and Kingdom-styled plastic tray-less packaging. Much like previous 2020 Hasbro Selects product, Deep Cover is branded under the War for Cybertron Trilogy, though was announced and released in 2021 alongside Kingdom.
Deep Cover was first listed for sale in mid-January 2021 by online retailer Rogue Toys, before they promptly removed the product’s description page (tsk, tsk). The toy was properly revealed by Hasbro Pulse about two and a half weeks later on TransformersTuesday, suggesting that Rogue Toys had suffered a street date slip-up. Unique to Deep Cover’s announcement, the stock photography used featured an added background graphic that had ”VICTORY” written in Ancient Autobot among the hexagonal patterns; a detail carried over from the War for Cybertron Trilogy-branded Generations Selects packaging that features ”VICTORY” and other words that reference war and battle, also written in Ancient Autobot.
