    I haven't seem anyone mention this but it looks like the new packaging don't have plastic trays inside.

    WHOOOOAAA! Everyone looks so good!

    Cheetor, Ratpath and Wartrap are dope, Blackarachnia's all sorts of bae, Cyclonus in magnificent. His face looks a lot better this time around, his chiseled jaw line certainly helps. His proportions and silhouette are so majestic I'm almost not bothered by is apparent lack on ankle tilts. I also love how the nosecone doesn't just hang on his back, looks like he'll have a transformations similarly clever to that of his Universe predecessor.

    That Core Prime looks incredible for his size, it's gonna be sweet to have another tiny G1 Prime after the ones from RTS and T30. The Fossilizers are neat, I especially like the cut of Vertebreak's jib. His(?) facial expression kinda screams "If only you knew how bad things really are", doesn't it?

    And even after all this gushing, Primal and Megs are the absolute stars of this reveal. While the screen accuracy of their MP counterparts is simply magical, I love how they look so buff and aggressive compared to their cartoon designs. It's a really amusing parallel to the extreme '90s brutal monstrousness the original Beast Wars toys were going for if you ask me. I'm glad to see Meg's back kibble looks a lot better here, and his color pop better than your favorite soda. Granted, that metallic reddish orange on his face is a bit of an odd choice, but I can't say it isn't an attractive shade of color.

    This big group art would mesh with what leakers said they saw regarding the last three S1 bots. Autobots in armor fighting the Predacon in beast mode.

    It's the voyager. It's 100% the darkness megatron released in japan late in the line, with chrome, stickers, and all.

    Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-15 Darkness Megatron (for reference)

    Its pure speculation on my part that Tracks will be a retool of Runnamuck with that awful fake cartoony car roof hidden in the undercarriage. Hasbro usually bases their artwork on the toys (like netflix show) and that Tracks chest looks hella cartoony. It looks to small to be part of the car mode.

    This image puts the concerns of Cyclonus not having ankle rockers to bed :) 


    Don't play with my heart like this, I've been wanting a new Universe Razorclaw for so long...

    I missed the stream, so this is my first time seeing Kingdom boxes. What the hell is up with them? There's almost no window anymore, it looks really odd. I don't even mind the figures attached to the cardboard without an insert tray, but to then cover up the figure seems so backwards.

    Apollux said that Polar Claw and Gears were cut from the main line releases for 2021. He does not have access to exclusives or selects figures.

    they're trying to move towards more sustainable packaging, plastic is less recyclable than cardboard.

    not with the arms microns, it is 100% the voyager in prime otherwise we got.

    It's a part of Hasbro's ongoing goal to reduce the amount of plastic in their packaging.

    I don’t idolize sunbow. The G1 cartoon is entertaining and part of the various cool things that make up transformers. I also don’t understand the whole one man crusade against Sunbow. Marvel gets credit all the time. All 3 seasons were fun to watch too. I’m just saying that saying “Sunbow” is fine to refer to the cartoon with.
