Mainframe's stickers are already sold separately for another $20. (I didn't buy that set)
yeah, count me in the "Priced Out" category.
I dug out my GoBots Command Center from childhood and it's not in too bad shape except for the stickers that are fairly ratty. I looked up the Toyhax replacement.
I want them but $40 is SO MUCH to pay for Stickers...
ZacWilliam, you can still get a decent sized actuall toy for that so dropping it on Sticky paper is a tough sell.

Since this feels like the "General Generations" Thread, I saw couple odd things to report:
Hasbro Pulse has restocked Transformers WFC Siege Optimus Prime. The Voyager one. I don't know why Hasbro felt it necessary to rerun that figure, as I can't imagine that there would be enough inventory from nearly 5 years ago to bother putting up for sale. I'm tempted to order one on the off chance it's a new run that omits the dirt deco.
And at my local Walgreens, after not having deluxe Transformers for the last couple years, they suddenly put out... SIX Red Alerts. Minty fresh. I don't know if it's a Walgreens distribution sucks or my local store sucks at putting out stuff they got years ago. Keep in mind Minerva still seems rare and Medix is on tap for the fall.

The Walgreens locations in my area got Red Alert about a month after Minerva was no longer available on their website.
It might of been left over stock that they came across, after all the Vrius did throw a lot of things into chaos and Optimus prime is likely one of the most mass produced figures as he is so popular and being one of the main faces of the brand its self
I feel like the same person who leaked that Skyfire and Sky-Lynx would be reissued also said Siege Optimus would be as well.

Needs his hair crest from Megatron Origin. Third parties, get to work!
I've so far avoided buying more than 1 of this mold, but I may have to get this. It looks pretty good.
Reportedly, these (or at least the second one) might actually be a fan custom.
First one is supposedly a fan custom. Second one seems legit.

What Zac said; the one with the unique pick axe is supposedly the real one.
The first one is a customization of a headless prototype.

Got notice from BBTS that Armada Prime is in stock and ready to ship. Pretty quick for a toy that was revealed only a month ago.
Feels wrong to ship him while still waiting for Armada Megs but he's not expected until August...

I know the molds are probably worn out by now, but I do wish they'd re-release Generations Metroplex
How does Megatron tunnel when the drill doesn’t reach past the treads?
Depending upon the remolded shoulders, there should be a 5 ML port on either side that lets you put the cannon futher forward, so if this was a real machine, it would likely slide forwards to start tunnelling and when he needs to stop, it moves backwards, that's my thoery anyway!!
I think I’d much rather pay the $50 extra for them to take another swing at it.
He hasn’t aged well in anything except price.
T30 Metroplex was never good. Just big.
That's been a pretty common problem with drill tanks in fiction.
Which ones? The only examples I can even think of (of drills not reaching past the treads) are very specifically the Transformers ones that are retools of regular tanks, which have their drills in place of the tank's cannon.
"Drill tanks" normally have the drill(s) in front of the main body, and the majority of them don't even have turrets.
Even the ones whose designs look the most non-functional for other reasons (Cybertron Menasor comes to mind) get the "drill is the part that's farthest forward" part right.
