Well...there went $200.
HasLab Deathsaurus
- Thread starter Rhinox
- Start date
And we're done: 25,169 preorders!
Not bad considering only yesterday did we unlock the 17,000 tier.
We'll probably see the number fluctuate a bit, too, of course, but that's not that far off from where Star Saber wound up. Not bad for the japanese only villain that turns into a weird chicken-lookin' thing.

True, he was always second fiddle to Devil Z in Masterforce, but Deathsaurus's bio says that he succeeded Overlord as Decepticon leader. Since no one outside the little group on Earth seemed to know Devil Z even existed, and Scorponok/Black Zarak was the leader up until he died on Earth along with Devil Z, it makes sense that Overlord took over leadership until Deathsaurus came along. And from the toyline perspective, he was definitely the big bad of the year's central gimmick, slotting in perfectly between Scorponok and Deathsaurus. He definitely belongs in the club in my book.
I could have sworn I remembered them having thrones, but a quick scan through some episodes suggest I was misremembering. I found one scene where the Decepticon Godmasters sat down for dinner. Aside from that, it almost seemed like they were allergic to chairs or something. They seemed to always be either standing or kneeling to Devil Z.
At least he has a cool looking robot mode, thou I expect when they start coming through, somebody will do a weird setup of his chicken (Griffon-Dragon) mode with the throne, for a laugh, thou I'll be intersted to see his Transformation between modes, but one thing is for certain, he likely to be rather eye catching when he evenly comes through
...with a nest and that Easter Egg Botbot, how did you know...?
And on other shocking notes, Deathsaurus has, at the moment I write this so it's probably already obsolete info, 1231 MORE backers than Victory Saber. I didn't expect that.

I guess there must have been another couple thousand affiliate orders that didn't get added until today. Great to see he did so well. I'm really happy with how VS turned out, and I'm looking forward to Deathsaurus quite a bit more than I ever was for VS. Nice to see that he's expected to ship next fall rather than next winter. So barring any setbacks, my VS's corpse should be getting crushed under Deathsaurus's heel in less than a year. I can't wait!

It could be a case of Hasbro deciding that Fall, encompasses Christmas time, or at least dispatch them around the time of the next Haslab Transformers crowd funder!
Super excited about this. Seawatch and Fixit were my favorite part of that team and it's so great to see them!
Yay complete Rescue Squad!
-ZacWilliam, honestly might be more excited for these two than Deathsaurus. I have Marvel Comics attachment to Fixit.

Now THAT makes the $200 well spent!
As a kid, I was too old to get the "core" 84-85 characters, and was WAY into the Micro Machines/Micromaster play pattern, so the Rescue Squad was repurposed into Prowl, Ratchet, Inferno and Seaspray.
I'm passed that, but having ONE of the Micromaster Squads complete is a nice bonus at this stage.

Yay for the unexpected bonus!
It maybe weird but it kind of feels like they were very uncertain Deathsaurus would be fully funded or not and they might of extended the backing window and put these in as Tier 3, but it turns out, Tier 1 & 2 were enough to get people to back this and with the edition of those two, it more than covers the cost and come to think of it, its been a while since we seen a boat Transformer, offically, most of the time its been cars, planes, or creatures, thou resent we had a tape deck, a boom box, a train that doubles as a shuttle, plus Motor bikes are making an appearance, so what have we NOT had as a alt mode resently, about the only thing coming to my mind is farm vehicles and standard cars you see on the street, not racing cars or sports cars
Did anyone else not get this e-mail? This isn't the first haslab thing I haven't received an e-mail for.
EDIT: Support page suggests you need to be signed up for the newsletter to get backer e-mails, which is real weird.

I am looking forwards to replacing my Death Chicken and his chair, simply because this third-party one I've been using a while, though great for the time, is beginning to show its age.
No boats, but a whole lot of submarines.
Great to hear. That means the big turkey should arrive in time for Thanksgiving.
