It makes sense logistically if he’s a Leo Prime redeco/retool. But if he’s all-new, then that’s a shock. Then we wait for the Takara repaint into Lio Convoy, haha.
I've been refreshing HasbroPulse all weekend waiting for that set to show up.
Not expecting it at all, but I'd love to see something that resembles his extend-o grappling hook thing. That was something distinct to Animated Prime.
Deluxe Animated Prime transforms quite differently from any G1 Prime. Maybe they could incorporate elements of that.
The Siege/ER mold does do that twist at the waist thing Animated Prime did......
I expect the cab mode to be a lot different than that, but honestly that also frankly looks gorgeous.
-ZacWilliam, those colors really pop beautifully together.
This works better then I thought, a possible head remold, a chest remold at least for the windows, and possibly a new roof peice and he might work perfectly.
They been released already, the Aphla Trion & Orion with Vector Sigma has been out for months now, while the Dion & Erial was released not long ago, while the latest ones with the Sentors have been released or are you refering to the two pack revealed at Comic Con?
“War Dawn” is specifically the name of the Dion/“Erial” set. It was reported that it was a SDCC exclusive.
You could tweak that mould to serve as a "good enough" Beast Hunters PrimeOrbetterworsewhateveryet, just a head-swap with Legacy Bulkhead.
Erial/Dion is not officially out yet. You can grab it from Pulse if you have an SDCC code, but there's no release date for when everyone will be able to buy it, yet. Speculation is next week.
It just so happens that way back when we first heard about the Bulkhead figure in leaks, it was said that it would share its mold with an Optimus Prime figure, leading many to wonder if said Optimus might indeed be Prime Beast Hunters Optimus.You could tweak that mould to serve as a "good enough" Beast Hunters Prime
Of course, no such Bulkhead-retooled Optimus toy has been announced or even leaked about since then.
The safe speculation is that Thundertron will be ”a partial” (to use Hasbro parlance) to BW Silverbolt
If that's the case, I hope it's Silverbolt's design that is the base and not the other way around. They can do great things with partial retools, but sometimes the results are uneven with hard-to-ignore compromises (Elita/Minerva/Strongarm) and I'd rather my favorite BW guy dodge that bullet.
Wonder if there'll be a Selects Windrazor, following on from Antagony and Lift-Ticket in the "former Botcon exclusives" bunch.
