I really prefer the lighting of the toy shot - I think the desaturated orange/yellow goes a lot better together, and that orange is a nice shade we don't see too much. The bright colored box art reads too much like a (Predaking) Predacon to me. And I never really liked how bright the Titans Return one was.
This looks nice, and I might be tempted at normal Voyager price, but I'm assuming it'll be more? Any word?
You're missing the point here. Alternate heads get included in molds all the time. Then they can release it in a new deco with an alternate head (or other parts) with no additional investment cost. That's absolutely standard practice.
This is not a sensical pretooled alternate part. This is a very similar sword, now with a different hilt that can plug into this Conduit. It's a newly-tooled accessory. That's significant because the process of creating new tools is very expensive. Meanwhile, the price impact of having just one part in that new tool versus having as many parts as you can cram into that standard-sized tool is negligible. So if they're going to create new tools, they aren't going to waste all that money they'd have to spend to just get one sword that they could absolutely get by without. I.e. if they're making a new sword, they're going to be making other new parts as well.
At minimum, any parts that shared a tool with the original sword could be revised. At maximum, they could have decided that a retool just didn't cut it for this big event line and made a whole new mold. Hopefully we'll know soon. Any expected reveal dates coming up?
I don't know how accurate it was, but the number I saw posted seemed significantly more than "A 2022 Voyager with a big wheel accessory" would seem to cost, even with todays prices.
Normally I'd scoff at $70 for a Voyager and an accessory, but I can't be rational about a new Sentinel Prime. I'll happily pay it.

Until the news that $70 is the new Voyager price due to oil/tariff/alien abduction/profiteering/privateering/Corporate Board Brain Fart/The Search For More Money.
welcome back blaster from gobots!
If this wasnt Leader Price, I'd be tempted to get two of them to make a second one him...
Just make the one you get play two roles, there looks to me there's be almost NO kitbashing involved...I didn't know GoBots Blaster existed and now I question the origins of this alt-mode in the designer's room...
Get one and make it Blaster. Sentinel Prime is nowhere near as Awesome as a Gobot...
Sentinal's Alt-Mode is very "More Than Meets The Eye cybertronian mode" to me. Like it'd fit alonside origins Jazz and Wheeljack.
The Autobot 3 pack (Ironhide, Bluestreak and Mirage) had some pictures come out. Ironhide has his yellow stripe and Mirage looks to be retooled a bit. (And potentially mistransformed so his shoulder rocket looks very akwardly placed)

Selects Ironhide, Mirage & Bluestreak Autobot 3-Pack Possible First Look
Just in from the boards is what seems to be our first look at the upcoming Selects Ironhide, Mirage and Bluestreak Autobot 3-Pack. We suggest taking it with a grain of salt for now until we get official confirmation. See it after the jump and keep an eye on TFW for more!

It looks like some kind of massive Diaclone excavator or troop mover in that MTMTE style, yeah. I dig it. I appreciate any time they can remould a figure and get a distinct alt mode out of it. It took me a moment to clock that this was made from Tarn.
third party apex armor 3, 2, 1.....

Do I want to get this set just for an Ironhide that I dont have to worry about Breaking?
Thankfully I need Mirage and Bluestreak anyway, so having to double dip on a slighty better Ironhide doesn't hurt (as much).
perfect to replace my ironhide that ******* broke thanks to the ******* transparent painted plastic of the originalSentinal's Alt-Mode is very "More Than Meets The Eye cybertronian mode" to me. Like it'd fit alonside origins Jazz and Wheeljack.

and i guess two other molds too
I had a blue Bluestreak that broke, and so did my nephew's. We took them apart and built one intact one for him. I don't have an Ironhide or Mirage at all. I may look into it depending on price and what is going haywire at the time.
