OFFICIAL TRANSFORMERS TOYS NEWS
Well, I'm definitely on board with Starscream and Rodimus Prime. Don't know how I overlooked their announcements at SDCC 2017. Starscream has that 'robot-tacked-on-a-jet' thing going on, but hot damn! That robot mode is fantastic!!!
And... Dinobots. Going to get those too. I'm psyched they're bringing back some Combiner Wars! Not that the line was that long ago, but they're some of my favorite things over the past couple years.

I saw a similarly packaged Prowl at Walgreens tonight on Valley St in Manchester, NH. The box was about Voyager sized, but opaque, so I don't know how big the figure is. It transformed in 6 steps. I don't know how much it was, since it wasn't actually on display yet. An employee mentioned it to me when I was buying Quake, and sent someone to get it for me. I didn't buy it. They said they only had the police car, so it looks like they ship in solid cases.Denyer wrote:Kind of cool in a Pretender-inner-robot kind of way...

Edit: I saw the Bumblebee at another NH Walgreens for US$9.99.

Also, apparently they managed to make Grotusque for the convention and keep it a secret: http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/10/05/tran ... ack-351299
Hopefully Grotusque sees a wider release because he's one of my favourite nobody characters. Not sure that's the mold I would have used but the robot mode is great and he looks okay as a beast too.
The small Terrorcons look awesome. Hun-grrr is what it is. They got Abominus's head wrong, so hopefully that'll be enough to keep me from wasting money to complete the team.
Windcharger is neat. Not the greatest head but that's what the guy looks like.
Evil Rodimus is hilarious.
Really not sure why they're reissuing that mediocre Shrapnel.

Continue to be impressed with what Hasbro are knocking out -- they've picked up the late era character ball and run with it more than ever.
Also liking the "exclusive" approach of early release and more stock getting through to retail channels later.
Will be a little bit surprised if the Terrorcons keep all of those paint apps.

I take it that you prefer the purple head from the cartoon? I'm not much of a stickler for toon accuracy, but yeah, a purple head looks better.Warcry wrote:

God Fire Convoy images are out now; it's basically the Japanese TRU boxset version with the Master Sword included.
Also, because it worked so well the first time, Takara are having a stab at Star Wars vehicles turning into Star Wars characters.

It's not that, it's that it looks like his antennas are missing. Though in retrospect, maybe they flip out like Superion's?Clay wrote:I take it that you prefer the purple head from the cartoon? I'm not much of a stickler for toon accuracy, but yeah, a purple head looks better.
As far as the colour goes I think they both looks are nice, though white is what comes to mind first since I've had the toy's head since I was around four.
They show the head flipped out of Hun-grr's torso towards the end of the gallery.Brendocon 2.0 wrote:Where's Abominus' head?

Takara movie anniversary solicits, including potentially a leader class blackout, finally.

Legends Grand Maximus is going ahead for production, although apparently still needs more pre orders for the pretender shell to be made.
This one, I think I'll get. I skipped the TR Fort Max because I have the encore release of the original, but Grand Max is different enough that I'd like to see what's changed from Metroplex.

Masterpiece Dinobot product listing. It's... twice as much as Primal? Surely that's not right, even if they make him at the scale used for the show (he would be the biggest Maximal).

Wasn't the initial price on Shockwave something absolutely ****ing ridiculous that then came down to not quite so mental?
Yes I know I could go and check, but I can't be arsed.
Considering that we've gone April to December without a release I care about and that the next one I'm vaguely interested in might be extortionate, Takara are really knocking it out of the park right now.
