Unless he's a straight reissue specifically because new tooling money had to go to Cyclonus... nah

I may need some help getting all of these. They definitely saw me coming. Love that at least two of the original lineup seem to be part of this (FR-13S and DIV4). And Vash and maybe Fergon seem similar to the later (90s?) beast-based ones I'm less familiar with.

Somehow Botbots retur-- wait, I've written this before... Also yay!

Iirc Dark-ism and some ebay sellers (not sure if that's a copy of the former) have produced MTMTE style heads for the mold. But depending on the angle and pose it can look like a decent or weak fit on the Kingdom mold.

Great pics! I also went and got this set, despite myself. Lots of waffling, but the Refraktor trio looked so dang good (despite the Siege set already looking nice) in more saturated colors that it won me over. The greebling does stand out more and kind of undermines that look, but the...

It's more this, for me. The toy colors Selects release is so, so good (and the Toyhax labels really take it up a notch, helped by him having too-small windows to waste much sheet real estate on). And afaik not as much, if any, yellowing. But the headsculpt remains lackluster (and I'm not sure...

Surprised he isn't yet alongside the apparent straight reissue Scourge. But I'd rather a redeco that hews closer to the Unite Warriors colors.

I go back and forth on it. There are shots and angles of the new Seeker that highlight how dynamic it can look. And it does have a few things on the Earthrise Seeker mold. But so much of what I see of it brings me back to the Robotmasters Seeker, and not in a really good way. And yeah, that...

Fittingly, one was also a Truck that at one point had his capa detated from his head

It's one of the vanishingly rare times when me not being able to afford something ends up helping me afford something.

Somehow Botbots returned

Now I want to see THIS Deluxe Op in Magnus cab colors ...

The phrasing seems to suggest Devastation Op came along to show them how "[being an awkward G1 Optimus at the deluxe scale]" is done.

Devastation Op seems fine?

I wish he had a better defined right hand. The rest of him is neat. The Optimus is nice and lithe, but the headsculpt, gimmick, and altmode all leave something to be desired.

I just saw local specialty store pre-order prices for the Hot Rod, and WOWWWWW that's not likely to happen for me. Not when I could buy like 3 or 4 SS86 ones for that amount. NGL, that kinda stings. I was hoping to see if the design turned out more sturdy on an MP budget.

I'm very high on the Voyagers and meh on the Deluxes, except for the United release of G2 Hero Megatron. I also liked the G1 colors one from Universe 2.0 Special Edition, shame I had to sell that.

It's snuck up on me until now, but between that angular element on the chest and something about the way the helmet flares out but is rounded off, it definitely has those vibes.

Nice little touch that adds a lot. If these were easier to get in this corner of the world, I'd try them out.

Yeah, I always read it as the latter. For all their bullshit the movies were mercifully pre-this current level of bullshit. There was a name-drop or two that served more to ground the story in the "real" world (for maximum "these aren't toys anymore, they're real things in our real lives") than...
