Not really, it's literally a retool of MP Bumblebee (as in the limbs are the same tooling), it doesn't fit the SS86 parts count limits at all. Slag is nice, but he's pretty obviously not an MP.

All of these repainted as new characters would be pretty neat, shame it's unlikely to happen for on-screen movie designs. I saw a digibash of Brawn as Doomguy that looked really good. I wonder if a third party will make a cockpit that folds out from the back for Soundwave's alt mode. It'd look...

Repaint the Ratchet blue and he'd kind of make a decent Fusion.

I will never understand Hasbro's marketing strategy of not showing Blaster but showing a specialist retailer repaint.

Given Wolfang was intended to be a show character, and his toy hasn't aged very well, I'd say he'd be a good pick.

FWIW Ravage was offered directly to specialist retailers outside the US (even in the UK, which has Hasbro Pulse). The Pit of Judgement was not, so Ravage should have significantly wider availability in general.

Even better, could we get some bios for the characters in Kingdom who didn't get them (mainly the Fossilisers). Another one from me - international distribution has been failing even worse than normal recently. How are fans expected to keep up with the line when the likes of the Buzzworthy...

Is there any hope that the line will move to higher price points in exchange for undoing recent cost cutting (thinner plastic walls, more hollowness, MABS plastic etc)?

No interest in Laser Prime, he is just ultimately the original but worse. Having said that he doesn't look terrible for modern part budgets. Scourge might be tempting if he's not miserable to get hold of being a Warmart exclusive. Dragstrip looked fine, but in lots of ways he's by far the...

I think the worrying thing is that it seems like Wave 3 of Kingdom wasn't just an aberration, but there's been another permanent reduction in costs and parts counts. That's going to suck, because that wave was bad.

I can't really see the point of making Prime toys in Prime's art style tbh. You will be getting the toys we already got but worse due to smaller budgets. Why? If you want those reissues would be better for toys in genuine demand. I mean, I loved the original RID but every RID homage toy from...

Ooff, neither of those look very good at all. Cost cutting is really beginning to heavily damage the line. Skids just looks half finished due to lack of parts count. Bulkhead just looks ill concieved.

I wonder how much of our leaks recently come from the buyer at Family Dollar and if this will cause them to dry up a bit...

I'm also surprised they didn't stick a fourth tier on at the end to be honest, even if it was something fairly simple like additional sword blades. Or a Unicron-esque sprue of filler pieces.

That's sad for his family, and very sudden :-(

I saw a suggestion that the Quintesson Executioner could be a pick. I'd sort of rather that he got a deluxe though, even if he gained an alt mode.

That toy transforms, which is unacceptable for a modern Metroplex.

Could be Premium Finish Earthrise OP, but I thought I'd read that they were doing another Nemesis Prime release so it could be the Netflix toy.

I have to be honest, I am baffled why they've picked Cybertron Metroplex to make a new, bigger toy of. He wasn't even very popular at the time, this is less accurate than the existing toy and it'll be made with more hollow materials. The design is rubbish.

I wondered if they had at least tried to get VW to approve the Bee tooling instead and had been vague in the hope of being unobjectionable.
