    HasTak knows this thing is low quality crap. That's why they're letting this thing leak first.

    If it's part of wave 3 of Kingdom Deluxe line then pending figures like Tracks will be the star of the show.

    So wake me when he shows up.

    The weird thing is that I both totally expected this, and totally didn't expect it. You know that feeling?

    There's a special place in hell for those who design such horrendous toys.

    It's as if Hasbro wants to lose money.

    • Transmutate was originally released as a build-a-figure in 2006. Now, she’s available as one whole figure, paying homage to the original with her ability to break apart into pieces
    Ooh dark and morbid. "I hurt" is a feature here

    Guessing you're planning to give her some Chaos-esque "Transmutate-#" forms?

    I love how everyone who's ragging on this toy is completely oblivious to the fact that the entire purpose of Transmutate as a character is that no matter how different someone looks or acts we should treat them with dignity and humanity. Your appearance does not define you and it's not right to judge others based on it.

    "We should welcome what is different, not fear it!"

    *fandom proceeds to hate and fear it*

    Good job, guys. Irony's got nothing on you.


    It can literally be built any way you want. You can drop it yourself.

    This thing is really ugly... which for the character would be how she's suppose to look but she's ugly in the wrong way.

    Transmutate didn't have an alt mode but now she transforms into a skeleton of a dinosaur. Her head design doesn't even match the aesthetic of the other fossilizers since she has more of a robot design and less of a skull design like the others.

    The colors don't match. For Transmutate they seem like more flat muted versions of her typical shiny chrome colors. For a fossilizer the colors don't really work either, the others are kind of realistically painted to look like actual fossils. Except that one purple one which I personally didn't really care for either. Anyway the colors here don't really fit the mold and just looks super ugly.

    Then there's the weird hinge joint in her head so the mouth can open. That just makes her look wrong, he mouth didn't open like a freaking puppet in the show. It would be kind of impossible to give her a working mouth in toy form without it looking completely wrong so why not just make a solid head sculpt without an opening mouth? It's not necessary.

    Finally... the body seems like kind of a random choice. I get that it has an asymmetrical design but they all do. None of them really fit the character because there isn't one that has one leg that bends in the wrong direction. The upper torso kinda works but the legs are wrong. I guess you could turn one leg around so it works a little better but the official configuration just looks like a totally random choice to turn into Transmutate.

    I don't completely hate the figure but it's not something I'm super impressed with either. I think it's not a good idea to release this as a Selects exclusive because honestly this is something I would only pick up if I happen to see one in the store, I'm not going to go out of my way to order one online which as I understand is the only way these Selects figures are being distributed.

    This looks fun. A maybe if I ever have the cash. I think the most appealing this is the way the mouth opens up, and really has that savage look. Reminds me a bit of idw arcee
