    Man I'm slow. I just now put two and two together and realized...

    Art work of Huffer + Core class Prime = Huffer pretool? :lol  I was wondering why they did it but it just hit me. As I said I'm slow :lol

    You have to go into the order and cancel each figure individually.

    Skipped on the Prime and fossilizer core class, and the deluxe class fossilizer. But ordered everything else plus the Pit and Prime figures. It’s been a good weekend.

    Why have the secret figure be Prime when there is a core Prime on the shelves? Prime is already shelfwarming everywhere I go. It's not like he was end wave and hard to get.

    I was disappointed (but not completely surprised) that we didn’t see any SS86 reveals. However, I am glad to have gotten in preorders for Cyclonus and the Fossilizers.

    Here’s hoping the Core class allows us to get a miniature G1 Megatron in Kingdom wave 2. The scale seems like our last best chance.

    There will definitely be a miniature G1 Megatron in the Core class. A miniature tank G1 Megatron.

    The head is also his cannon, it’s got a blast effect port in the mouth.

    The tail claw should be removable I think. There’s a picture that shows it turned and megs has a visible hand and forearm so maybe it just plugs on.

    Megatron at that scale is definitely a hole that needs filled. The one from earlier on that was the Warpath mold just never looked right to me, so I never added it to my Legends/Legion collection.

    Not on UK Amazon yet, but we usually get stuff later. Hopefully it will be the case here too.

    I now own a grand total of 4 Arcee, which is odd for me.
    However, 2 of them are Prime Arcee, who's character I actually kind of like.
    The preordered RED Arcee is one, Takara's Tranform Adventure Arcee is the other.

    I cannot wait to see RED Knockout, whenever they get around to releasing pics of him.

    I know they did that with CW, but this time they aren't. We have leaked Walmart listings for Deluxe Huffer and Pipes. So they'll get their own (accurate) mold this time!

    So did they say or hint to any other Prime figures getting reissues?

    At some point they will put it up as a youtube video. Keep in mind they were having audio issues throughout so be prepared.

    Oh really? Well that's cool too. That makes a Core Prime existing just because even more amusing then. I just love the idea of a diminutive Prime totally out of scale for no real reason hanging out with Beast Wars figures larger than him, in a sort of reverse of what we saw on the BW animated series. :lol 

    Totally off the wall thought, though... what if they give him a small trailer and simply price him at a deluxe price point because of that, but still use the Prime mold as the Huffer pretool? Probably won't happen but, stranger things have.

    Is Kingdom Optimus Prime meant to be some sort of joke, or is it simply a Legends-sized figure?

    The fossilizers are an easy pass, but the rest are ok.  It\'s a shame Hasbro couldn\'t store Primal\'s swords inside the beast mode and give Chertor his correct \"Colon Blaster\"™.

    Iaconus deserves a decent toy, damn it!
    He's got the nickname "the god of voice acting" for a reason...
    Huh, I think you might be right. Well that's a little odd and dissappointing, since the Weaponizers/Modulators have just been so fun to mess around with, and since it seems like it's easy to work in the dissassmebly, just turn swivel joints into 5mm pegs. Well still looks neat.
    Considering the big compartment in Scorponok's head, and Trypticon's chest prison and tail hanger bay for Full-Tilt, I can see there being some open up compartments, with molded details for it. I'll need to see the toy, but it looks like Transformation might be relatively simple, and they may not be squeezing out a third base mode either, so that leaves room for engineering that in the budget.
    I'm still waiting on Tyrranatron, half a bunch of Micromaster Teams, more modulators for the other Micromaster bases, and apparrently Polar Claw PRIMUS DAMNNIT!
    I hope not. Huffer is actually very distinct from Optimus, especially when you look at how he transforms. They did that with the Legends figure, and it was a terrible huffer, missing the two biggest aspects of his design, the big hood over his head, and the way his smokestacks become his arms.

    I\'m amazed I actually got everything I wanted this round before the bots came in and swept everything up!
    Can\'t wait for Rattrap, Cheetor, Warpath, Cyclonus, and the Breakdown pack (only previously available as an import; sorry Ebay). 
    Bit disappointed that Arcee was a Red but in my buying frenzy I got her anyway.
