    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: stock renders of upcoming Alpha Trion, Micronus, Flatline, Fireflight, Skydive, ++

    I have, and have seen, the same question. I know someone pointed out that early pictures show those holes weren't that large originally and were modified at some point. So they presumably were changed for a reason. However, I haven't seen anything indicating what that reason is.

    Studio Series discussion

    I've been mulling over the SS reveals for a few days. I love the AotP stuff that was shown off, but I'm a lot more mixed on SS. I'll start with the good. I'm really looking forward to Windcharger. As best I can recall, I believe he and Cliffjumper were my first Transformers. I definitely have a...

    I'm still loving all the Primes. Looking forward to messing with Amalgamous. I'm a bit surprised that Quintus doesn't seem to take anything from Earthspark. Looks good though. It'll be nice to finally get a Big Convoy. I had the Universe Nemesis redeco, but never the regular one. Also looking...

    Walmart "Transformers Retro" line (G1-based redecos/retools)

    I missed getting in a backup order at Pulse. Well, I've occasionally gotten Walmart preorders fulfilled, so there's a chance I'll get him. If nothing else, I was able to use the order to get free shipping on Cyberworld Megatron and Galvatron.

    Size-wise, Armada Optimus is right in line with all the other non-SS86 Generations Optimii. Most of those are Voyagers, though the others with trailers are Leaders. The size and complexity of the Armada trailer certainly accounts for some of the bump up from Leader to Commander, though the extra...

    Walmart "Transformers Retro" line (G1-based redecos/retools)

    Seaspray orders are live on walmart.com. Just got my order in. Now to see when they get around to cancelling it.

    He was originally scheduled to ship October 1st. I guess he came in a couple months early.

    Got to open Excellion up. His feet are a little floppy and there's a bit of red paint on his windshield I'll try to remove once I pick up some more rubbing alcohol, but otherwise he's good. Went ahead and canceled my Pulse order for him. I was happy to find I did indeed have a Pulse order for...

    Haven't had a chance to open it up yet, but Excellion did indeed arrive today. And I just got a notice that he's also about to ship from Pulse. Guess that shows how much I trusted Walmart to actually fulfill my order... Guess I need to go cancel that one and check if I also got a Sideways order...

    It's a redeco of the Siege mold, but also includes a new accessory that gives him his weapons/thrusters on his back.

    I completely forgot that both the Perceptor set and the Devastation pack are SS, not AotP. They're all Generations, and they're largely interchangeable for G1 figures, so I just don't really mentally distingush them most of the time. 🫤

    Just received both Ramhorn & Ratbat and the Devastation trooper pack from Target today. Definitely appreciate Ramhorn. He just feels surprisingly big despite still fitting in the usual cassette size. Very possibly my least favorite cassette bot in general, but his toy's a winner. Ratbat is...

    Interesting. I guess I'll have to report back if and when it actually arrives then. It's supposedly in Reno and due to arrive Tuesday.

    Excellion just shipped from Walmart. Sideways, on the other hand, just got cancelled due to an "inventory issue". Hate Walmart... At least it's Cybertron Sideways and not the Armada version. That's the one I really want.

    Walmart "Transformers Retro" line (G1-based redecos/retools)

    I can't remember. Did Seaspray ever show up in the upcoming AotP listings, or was he only ever associated with the retro line? I assume he'll probably show up as a general retail release at some point, just wondering if we have any time frame for it. Either way, I'll probably be getting this...

    Yeah, he was an easy pass before. Now, he's really, really tempting. Turned out a lot better than I would have expected.

    Transformers: Wild King -- new "Wildocking" animal limb combiner series from TakaraTomy

    My recollection is that we had indications fairly early on that there would be a full set of five beasts, one of each element, for each side. I don't recall any indications of any more beasts beyond them before Lavamuleta and Frost Saber were revealed. Do we know yet if there are going to be any...

    I'm curious if the listings for Hot Rod and Rodimus are accurate or swapped. They already did a Defender Hot Rod. Could be a redeco, or it could be this is supposed to be Rodimus to pair with his vehicle mode. Or could be that Hot Rod will be the Autobot potential chase figure, with Rodimus as...

    Not that most people care, but the UW team also scales better than the AotP team would. Mega-Octane is taller than Scourge, while Onslaught is shorter than Optimus. Fits nicely with CW Onslaught/Dolrailer being a little taller than Legacy G2 Optimus/Scourge. It's a minor point, but piled on top...
