    Now we just need Hasbro to do their own thing again, and give us a domestic release of Grand Max...

    Mine certainly has mildly loose knees that have gotten worse over time. Still stands on the shelf, but just doesn’t feel as solid as it could. It’s known to be a widespread issue, though not all copies seem affected.

    I'm sure I'm on my own when I say I'm disappointed in Tracks.

    He's good I guess, but he's not on the same level as say, Huffer, or Trailbreaker. Speaking of Huffer, I was really hoping to see Pipes.

    Not at all alone. the excess kibble and clear plastic and bare wings. He is definitely subpar for a deluxe

    Yeah I think Tracks was the weakest of the reveals. He looks....Okay.

    I think Pipes is not due until the next wave after Tracks.

    well lets see

    Ark
    love the disks disapointed they dont seem to have pegs that dinobot can hold still curious to know if you can have teletraan 1 seperate when in ship mode

    Rodimus Prime
    a fantastic voyager figure with the downsides of articulated hands that will get loose over time and a glorified jewelery box that sacrificed a good looking vehicle mode for storage and pistons

    Galvatron
    only issue i have is the battle damage on the chest rest is a great representation not interested in the gun but curious if he can make it

    Scorponok
    looks fantastic permanent addition to my shelf

    Wingfinger Tricranius Dracodon
    not buying any of these tempted by the alt colours but nah and only really interested in orange and purple effects parts for the colour coded lasers

    Tracks
    looking great finally we have a toon accurate flame decal on the hood and much better than the reveal the sheild version

    Rhinox
    waiting on the netflix version to see if its brown and darker green before i bite the bullet i dont have the fancy one so this might be my good enough version

    Core Soundwave
    tempted as im half and half on core class good for metroplex and fort max displays. if i did stop motion they'd be good for mass-shifting

    Shattered Glass Blurr
    suprised none of the gi joe fans called out his resemblance to major bludd ive got the original shattered glass issue but it would be an impulse buy in person not something i go out of my way to buy online

    Transformers Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Programmable Advanced Robot – Collector’s Edition
    the future is now!!! this is small soldiers stuff in real life even now i have to remind myself its not cgi. that said as much as i love it,on minimum wage 37 and a half hours a week and bills to pay i have no chance of even thinking of it

    Having Cheetor, Optimus Primal, Rattrap Netflix, a Rhinox of that version would not seem crazy to me, in the end Hasbro will want to take advantage of each new mold that comes out and exploit it to the minimum.

    If not, look at the Megatron Siege repaints, and people saying "enough".

    there were rumours a while back that netflix liked it enough to commission a new series so figures may appear as part of that or as part of the inevitable beast wars push during the new movie which again by rumours is meant to be based on beast wars. heck i'm just hoping for a quick and dirty repaint but my wildest dream is these molds given the telemocha treatment

    Will get them  all of course  cause been a  Completist  & I rather  deal with the   toys  then people of the  fandom  A lot hard  to  trust  now these days. But  Tracks Needs  some white  paint on his  cannons  & Middle painted black  of course.

    Can someone explain to my WHY the f*** Rhinox has fou toes on each foot, when he should have two to be animation model accurate? The feet are entirely fake pieces. The fact that FAKE pieces look so dumb drives me crazy

    solid fake piece for the entire foot:
    upload_2021-4-14_11-32-8.png

    second piar of toes on the outside of the feet:
    upload_2021-4-14_11-30-46.png

    It looks so dumb
    • Transformation is very straight forward and cheats with nothing but fake parts (feet, chest)
    • every detail including that horrendous head is not CGI accurate vs Primal who has CGI detail slightly stylized
    • why the toy accurate crotch?
    • FOUR toes on the feet?!
    • Rhino mode still has canine teeth all over the place (rhinos have molars mostly)
    Conclusion: Whoever designed this has probably never seen a cgi render of Rhinox

    positives:
    • VAGUELY resembles Rhinox
    • looks cool objectively
    • very articulated -> forward and backward butterfly joints, slight up/down in hands due to transformation, waist swivel unexpected
    • many molar teeth on chest plate (the only thing I wanted changed with the unrealistic T-rex teeth on his chest in the animation model)
    • awesome proportions
    final thoughts:
    I don't have the T30, so of course I'll have to buy this. Am I looking forward to it? No, but I'll probably love it in hand.. with a new head... and new feet...

    Nope you're not.

    I recently got the mp tracks so I don't need this guy. He's okay. Not the best

    It looks like three to me, which makes it animal accurate rather than show accurate.

    Very easy pass for me. I don't like the bot mode at all.

    But I've posted evidence of the fourth toe right there in my post. It's where the red arrow points

    I like it overall. I do have major gripes with the details though. Devil is in the detail sort of situation

    Yeah, but counting that one I can only see two and one on the other foot in that photo because of the lighting.
