It's Episodes 5 and 6 of Wild King W, uploaded four days ago.

Episode 5 opens with Rexblade and friends in the mountains looking for the next revived member of the Seven Spears. They find Gaia Knuckle still in his sealed state, but surprisingly conscious while so. He demands that they leave since they were interrupting his meditation. Captain Volca demands back that he help them, but Gaia Knuckle refuses as he sees the others as weaklings that he has no tolerance for. Offended by Gaia Knuckle's arrogance, the others decide to show him their strength and charge up the mountain toward him. Impressively, Gaia Knuckle is able to use his Ground Energy-based attacks while still sealed, but the others use their own elemental abilities to work together and overcome his attacks. With this teamwork, Rexblade is able to reach Gaia Knuckle and release him from his seal, hoping that he and the others overcoming this ordeal will have proven themselves, but the stubborn Gaia Knuckle refuses to acknowledge their strength and engages Rexblade in personal combat. Knowing he can't overpower Gaia Knuckle through brute strength, Rexblade dodges Gaia Knuckle's Skull Impact attack, creating an opening for himself to slash his opponent with his Rexcalibur. This snaps Gaia Knuckle back to his senses and awakens their lost memories of each other within their respective minds and those of the other awakened Seven Spears in their party. But just as the two old friends are about to shake hands, a mysterious new warrior arrives on the scene, runs up to the two at super speed, and slashes the two aside with his sword. The new warrior addresses Rexblade by name. When Rexblade asks who he is, the newcomer answers, "The one who will destroy you."

Episode 6 begins with Lavamuleta recognizing the new warrior, identifying him as Spinoescudo. Silvertail and the other Seven Spears charge at the newcomer, but Spinoescudo brushes them all aside with ease. Rexblade then engages Spinoescudo, but the latter is unimpressed. Cobaltwing appears watching the fight from above and Wildocks with Spinoescudo. In response, Gaia Knuckle Wildocks with Rexblade, but Aqua Spinoescudo easily overpowers Ground Rexblade, severing Gaia Knuckle in arm mode from Rexblade's shoulder. On Cobaltwing's command, a mysterious new red Energy Beast then captures Silvertail, Lavamuleta, and Plant Hammer in an energy net while Aqua Spinoescudo still relentlessly beats down on Rexblade. Before the former can finish off the latter, Gaia Knuckle shields Rexblade with a wall of boulders with his Rolling Stone attack. When Aqua Spinoescudo clears away the obstruction, he is annoyed to find that Rexblade and Gaia Knuckle have escaped and disappeared. Elsewhere, Gaia Knuckle and Captain Volca carry the injured Rexblade away to safety while Lightlong wonders who exactly Spinoescudo is and what his deal is.

HOLD THE PHONE!!!! Is Undead Dragonus made out of glow-in-the-dark plastic!?!?! Because these pictures really make it look like he is.

Dammit. I SPECIFICALLY said I was not going to buy this repaint as I preferred the black/purple, but if he's g.i.t.d., then I'm afraid the decision is out of my control. I will have to get one.

What the what? That certainly hasn't been teased in the show.

Optimus and Megatron even left Elementros back in the first episode.

Huh! Looks to be just a special deco of WIldking Optimus as Energon Optimus with rhino, lion, elephant, and....probably giraffe(?) limbs. Not something I would have a deep need for unless there is some remolding or something. I don't really have any nostalgia for the Energon era.

Not gonna lie, that does look nice. Takara knows how to do a good deco, that's for sure. Had this been available alongside standard Optimus, I might well have gone for this one instead, but I don't feel like I need to add this to the Optimus I already have.

The core Wildking Optimus mold is not that great and is less poseable than the original Energon Optimus combiner.

Easy pass.

I only have Nemesis so this wouldn't be taking up any Optimus room, but despite its charm I don't think I like the mold enough to get this. But maybe they'll pack it in with a cool limb in a cool deco, which is why I'm still stuck trying to resell the black Megatron redeco.

It is a very lovely Megatron. I also didn't really want the black repaints, but very much wanted the energy beasts. Now that I have them in hand, I do actually really like them, though. Megatron, especially, combines nicely with World Dragonus.

Interesting little version of Prime there. Didn't expect to see Fatimus done up in the Wildocking line, but not too shabby. I have watched this line from afar, with great curiosity, and I will continue to do so.
