    That or they are based on the Energon weapons from Transformers Energon.

    Like these guys? Or well, I’m seeing “Energon”, I’m hoping it’s a Terrorcon.

    Hoping it's that. I'd be curious to see what a new Divebomb would look like; the Energon mold was really good.

    Is there anything about whether the Studio Series Core Wheelie is the 86 movie or the Bay movies design?

    My main concerns with whatever comes next is that the QC issues are kept to a minimum. There's no more excuses these days for Hasbro to be putting out shit figures when 3rd party companies are creating extravagantly awesome figures. Now I don't collect KO's but still the fact that I rarely here about QC issues from them while hearing about it more on Hasbros part is repulsive.

    3rd parties don't have the same restrictions as Hasbro, and even then, there's been QC issues (Marine Commander/that Armada Optimus or whatever it's name was).

    Shit slips through the cracks sometimes. But comparing a mass retail line with limited budget to the limitless budget and time Third Parties have is ridiculous. It absolutely says "I don't know what I'm talking about".

    Ok firstly, I never said that none of the 3rd party figures don't have QC issues. I said that I don't hear about problems as much from them like I do Hasbro. Secondly you clearly must not know anymore as me too appearantly because it seems you've missed all the QC issues from Earthrise, Studio Series, Kingdom and a bit from Siege. I said this once and imma say it again, there's no excuse for some of the problems with certain figures that Hasbro has with there recent toylines. It's borderline lazy and should be unacceptable. Lastly I'm pretty sure even 3rd parties have deadlines and budget limits too.

    Outside of the issue with Galvatrons shoulders I cant recall any widespread QC issues from Kingdom. Of course shit does happen, but those are usually one-off issues that are bound to happen in mass retail. Any reputable place will send you a new copy or get you a refund.

    Does Kingdom Tracks’ legs count as a widespread QC issue? I think there was also stuff with Cheetor’s beast mode neck breaking, and the tab for Blackarachnia’s chest snapping off.

    Yeah, Tracks has that issue due to his pin being fired a couple millimeters off from being pegged in fully. Cheetor's neck is still an issue, Blackarachnia's tab though I think got fixed with a running change.

    Not QC when the issue is the underlying engineering rather than the quality of the product

    I saw a video that fixes the problem. The problem is it could potentially damage the figure. Is there another way?
    Oh, I see. Thank you!

    I guess it’s not really Kingdom, but Fangry in the Buzzworthy set was a bucket of issues, right?

    Oh my god please stop talking

    Awesome news and makes perfect sense. Pointblank is a great base mold for an Armada Blurr.
    Sounds like I couldn't find Armada Optimus in Miami because he's not going to be a Skullcruncher redeco but a Tigatron redeco! Huh? Huh?

    So I think Hasbro did an excellent job of having a lot of Haslab Unicron sympathetic product in Kingdom and SS86. I've seen that Victory Saber is due to land around December 2022, which I think is when we'll maybe see the line after Evolution start to hit retail (or possibly not long after). I can't be mad in thinking we're going to see a good amount of Victory/JG1 stuff, am I?

    So with Minerva and Black Zarek coming in Evoloution as exclusives we're already seeing some more JG1 figures. I reckon the MP Raiden will cover you for CHUG Trainbots. Maybe we'll finally get Dinoforce from the PotP figures as an exclusivce set or Takara Selects?

    What other JG1 does that leave?

    Multiforce might be too weird, I feel like other Combiner teams will get priority over Liokaizer (not an easy one to get partials from, I think). I feel like Galaxy Shuttle, Big Powered, Sky Garry, and Grandus are still a bit too obscure to commit to appropriately. Blackshadow and Blue Bacchus are curious ones. I suppose it depends what direction these Core Pretenders go.

    If we're getting the Autobot '88 HM's, maybe we'll see the cons too? They score a JG1 and G1 hit simultaneously. That extends to Powermasters and Pretenders (who we'll reportedly see a new take on in Core class) as well. A commander class PM:OP/Ginari (It'd have to be 'super', right? We go back to the old Godbomber question) seems more likely to me after seeing how they're doing Starsaber, and that would certainly open a door for some Powemasters. I certainly think another Leader class Overlord could go down well (tough I think he'd be another good contender for Commander, but I think I've been saying that since Jetfire was revealed). We could manage another swing at Sixshot/Greatshot too.

    Of course, if the Commander slot is taken up by the torso of another '86 Combiner team then we can forget about any such fanciful notions as a Commander PM:OP or Overlord.

    Leader class Deathsaurus and the Brainmasters seem like the most obvious 'Starsaber adjascent' options. We've got combiners coming, so I wonder how possible Road Caeser would be if we did get the Brainmasters. Obviosuly I'd be hoping for 'Motorvator' repaints.

    Wreckgar39 did mention Deathsaurus could come in 2023 if saber does well. I imagine more will come to. at the very least I wouldn't be suprised if we got more Jg1 selects repaints too

    So in the stream they mentioned that they'll try to have physical copies at a Boston con next weekend. I'm guessing that's where kingdom wave 4 will be shown off to? plus maybe some exclusives?

    To my understanding if I recall what the leakers said correctly they're supposed to be the new weaponizers. We also have one in Core and one in Deluxe like the Fossilizers had Vertrebreak and Paleotrex.

    personally I want them to be something new. So Rock Lords with Energon crystals coming out of them or just made up entirely of Energon crystals.

    Also want them to be Maximals and Predacons because I enjoy seeing BW get new additions too it.
