    Kingdom Blaster has already reached some U.S. Walmarts and Targets.

    It'll be interesting to see if Legacy Blaster does anything to the secondary market for Kingdom's. Late in Earthrise I was able to get a Siege Astrotrain off Amazon for $30 even as the ER version was going for $50-60.

    That Galvatron look so much better than the Kingdom version.

    Blaster was always part of Legacy. He was pulled forward to create an extra Kingdom wave.

    So does that mean there's actually a Thunderclash being planned? Sweet! :)  So does that mean Motormaster's robot mode has elements of Thunderclash's robot mode in his design as well?

    Aside from the lack of the little bit of battle paint, what is different? Looks like all the same paint apps and colors as the original.

    I think there were some discussions of it on the Speculations thread a few months ago but nothing concrete. Besides, I don't need an $80 Thunderclash figure anyway (they were already pressing their luck with Rodimus).

    So I think that the better choice would be for HasTak to use the Laser Prime mold, which is still clearly borrowing from the ER OP's bottom half anyway.

    Probably the reverse and Thunderclash's robot mode has elements of Motormaster's robot mode. Because Thunderclash is a pretty obscure character compared to Motormaster.

    Though it'd be funny if Motormaster yet again has more remold compromises in his design.

    His mold is rumored to be Pyro. Pyro (G1) - Transformers Wiki

    That contract with the Amazon bloodsuckers must be for life.

    Part of me likes ugly ass packaging so I don’t feel so bad throwing em away. But that Legacy art is sooo nice.

    Him and Beast Megatron were all over my Targets right before X-Mas. And I think even one Walmart,
    (stacks of Beast Megs).

    I recently got Galvatron and I have started to remove his battle damage slowly and have one with correct shoulders.

    Check your Targets - One minute they were rare as a Diamond and the next they're flooded.

    Part of the problem I think is only one of my Targets out of 4 had any stock at all of him, and it was too much imo. They don't seem to know how to properly distribute amongst stores or care.

    ......Hmm, on second thought, this could likely mean that some of the Turbomaster's will result in being future limbs.

    They're all cars anyway if you take out Rotorstorm (since we already have a recent one from SIEGE or ER) that leave's 4 characters: Boss, Flash, Scorch and Hurricane that will likely all borrow from pending Stunticon molds.

    Despite not having any desire to ever combine this group, I still might be interested in these potential Turbomasters finally coming!

    BUT!

    Will they do the same thing with the Predators then?

    We're moving on to 'Legacy' now. Packaging looks nice but I honestly couldn't give a flying fook what the next rebrand is.
    What I do want to know is what happened to 'Kingdom' Pointblank!?
    Still hoping to get those missing S4 bots to finish my main generations collection in the near future.
    Every G1 cartoon character now has representation.

    The leftovers list:
