    Looks like a torx screw actually. Dont think ive seen those one toys at all. Not that i typically look tbh but still odd that that is what is used.

    Looks like it might be a long pin?

    Just a warning for those who own Autubot Aliance pack Prowl/IH. The "IDIOTIC":banghead:  blister pack (the one that holds the left shoulder of Prowl is so tight and misaligned/shaped that it places unnecessary stress on it. It might affect and break/misalign the black connector peg.

    I also noticed that IH's left fist is easily slid off unlike the right fist.

    I'm kind of sad that Astroblaster was not included. :cry

    From what I understood, Transformers concept art is over designed on purpose. The idea being it is easier to dial back panels/parts/detailing to fit production standards and to have a budget of specifics to negotiate as the most important. Going from the other direction, while far from unheard of or impossible, takes a little more finesse to add to a design without watering it down or creating unintentional problems.

    From the look of Sky Lynx I wouldn't be surprised if the initial thoughts were during the phase of "classics" aesthetics being more spiritually modern updates. As opposed to the WfC aesthetics of being more modern recreations attempting to capture as much original detail as reasonable. IIRC CW Sky Lynx was hard to acquire and triggered a lot of call for a more traditional update. Plus space dragons are just damn cool. I wish we had more beast-bot Transformers that turned into vehicles.

    Props to Hb/TT! After 33 years since the 86 Movie..........this is such a risky move to greenlight the baddies with just the 35 year old DVDs/BDs to support the line (okay, with barely functioning comic book media)!

    I'll do my part to support Bad Guys Deserve to be Pressed /Forged too! :lolol

    Somethings I found interesting:
    • Earthrise Megatron is a bit smaller than earthrise Optimus
    • The mace/flail that comes in the centurion pack is actually intended for earthrise Megatron. Apparently earthrise and siege Megatron have different hands
    • The head flap issue fix is definitely a much needed improvement for this release

    Hmm. That sucks... Does anyone know if the Siege head fits on this body? I want to say people have discussed it and it was a no, but it never hurts to double-check.
    I can't believe I might have to buy another Megatron to make it all work and get the accessories right. It's that kind of thing that's slowly pushing me out of collecting.

    I'm assuming your ordered during the BOGO weekend, as did I.

    Which makes it frustrating my Airwave has twice been pushed back. First from 9/2 to 9/18 and then to 9/25.

    That looks just about golden, yep. Definitely doing that (if they don't release a silver-paint version).

    Snapdragon: I want to punch your faceplate!
    Apeface: I want to flush you down the sewer!

    Both: "Let's both outjackazz Skywarp!"

    Anyway, Hb must really hate Snapdragon, his blister pack is so annoyingly hard to remove!:banghead:

    I pre-ordered my copy of Earthrise Dirge and Ramjet on July 27th, it is now September 17th and Amazon still has not shipped it out. All they state is, "not yet shipped." I really hope that the Coneheads get restocked soon. Has anyone else NOT gotten there order of Earthrise Dirge and Ramjet yet?

    I know Jamarmiller didn't! His was from amazondotcom USA to Japan and they cancelled his mid delivery!:mad  My orders for the Quint judge and Allicon from Amazon was accepted Feb 2020 and was "delayed" again on Sep 4 to like end Oct to early Nov.(Only thing they fulfilled was Cliffjumper. I just cancelled them all (same with Airwave which I got much faster via ebay) from toysuperjp. I usually don't endorse vendors but this lady (I think) fulfilled all my orders:thumb :buttrock 100% on time!

    My Earthrise Arcee arrived 2 days ago. All the reviews have already made me feel so "meh" about this figure that I still haven't opened it yet.

    She is great as a robot, still have not brought myself to transforming her yet, but love the robot mode.
