    Which barrels? The ones to the grille gun or the ones to the shoulder cannons? I know I saw something here showing the shoulder guns weren't but either way I don't have Instagram and it always shuts me out so I wouldn't be able to tell.

    @PrimeVsPrime any chance you could a take a pic of Crankcase with the door flaps folded out behind the arms in robot mode?

    Want to see how well this would work IMG_20220827_232438.jpg

    Also on wave distribution, wave 3 seems to be very close to out - Chefatrons review was in package, not even a sample. Means that factories could be gearing up for wave 4 very soon - a reveal at PulseCon might see them coming out as the year changes, maybe just after Christmas

    Ah. Yes. I recognize the gun now.

    Yeah, this mold would work quite well.

    The Grill Gun, Mark had some of the Tricranius set blast effects on it in the "Story" link he made to the BTS post. Looks like his "stories" are deleted now, as nothing comes up when I click his profile pic, though I thought I saw a screencap of it posted by someone way back in this thread?

    I’m really liking this toy. I had no problem with the Skids mold, although like others, I’ve had trouble getting the top tabbed in. This appears to be an improvement on that. If I had just one improvement I could have made to him, I’d have liked to have seen his shoulder cannons equipped with sliders so that they could extend. Otherwise, I really like how he came out. Crankcase is probably my most anticipated Deluxe figure for Wave 3 if for no other reason than to complete my IDW Scavengers!

    Would anyone want Crankcase remolded into Armada Red Alert? Along with a new head and lightbar, Crankcase’s robot chest would be remolded into a design resembling Cybertron Red Alert’s chest.

    Not really. I would much rather see Armada red alert get his own unique mold, or at the very least be a remold of the Jurassic Park Jeep from the Amazon exclusive set

    Remolds still need to exist.

    Remolds OF remolds though? Crankcase IS a remold of Skids. I would feel you if you were asking about a toy that was actually an original mold…

    Also, I did specify that a re-mold of the Jurassic Park vehicle would be more appropriate for the character of red alert in my opinion. So it doesn’t have to be an original mold, but I don’t think it should be this figure—again, itself a remold—remolded AGAIN.

    I think he'd work better as a new mold

    Personally I think they should turn Crankcase into Ironfist/Fisitron, especially if they're willing to put the same amount of effort they did into turning Skids into Crankcase

    Might still be iffy, but I think it could work

    See, IRONFIST makes WAY more sense for this mold than Armada Red Alert and would require even less remolding.

    Crankcase should be remolded or retooled into G2 Power Master Ironhide...

    It happens.

    A new head, a new chest and a new light bar. That’s certainly possible given that they have done the same for “remolds of remolds” in the past”.

    And unfortunately not every character is going to get their own new mold even if they had their own new mold originally. Reusing molds where possible is still a necessity.

    So, given that they already have a figure that looks more like Red Alert in both modes (the JP Jeep) that has not been remolded, why not remold that figure since remolds are so necessary? I totally get your logic and even agree with it. I just don't think it actually supports your position more than mine.

    Now, in terms of the logic of why it wouldn't be a remold at all, and definitely why it wouldn't be a remold of Skids... Every other A/E/C character we've seen so far has been almost slavishly accurate. Why would they make new molds of Armada Hot Shot, Optimus, Megatron and Starscream but NOT Red Alert? Why would they not make Red Alert in proper scale to Hot Shot in a toyline that's basically OCD about scale?

    Need help: my Crankcase came without his weapons and I'm seeing if Hasbro can ship me new ones, but they need some info. Where can I find Date code of Product on the figure? (they said its on both the packaging and the figure, and I kind of threw away the packaging)

    I found the vendor code.
