    Anyone else find it strange that Masterdominus isn't color matched to Leadfoot yet Spindle is matched with Impactor?

    Could that be intentional for a potential wave 2 pack?

    I don't see it.

    Grey, gold and black ≠ grey, green and yellow.
    So imma call bs on that.

    Not my idea, just reiterating what was previously posted, lol.

    But still, it's doubtful that it's an intentional "wave 2" reference.

    I understand that. I'm calling bs on the designer who said such.

    My take:

    Masterdominus isn't color matched to Leadfoot because he's supposed to be a Black Power Ranger homage. The colors and alt mode (Mastodon) are too close for it to be coincidence.

    Yes, because the designer obviously doesn't know what he's talking about :rolleyes:

    Does he look like he's color matched to Springer to you?
    Because he certainly doesn't to me.

    The designer likely intended them to be color matched (masterdominus and Springer were initially leaked as a 2 pack like impactor and spindle). At some point during production when the 2 pack was changed to masterdominus and leadfoot the yellow was likely changed to gold.

    In saying that, we only have the designers words to go on and immediately calling bs on what they said is kinda silly since they're more informed on the subject than any of us.

    Even so, the end result is different from what they said, so the statement as of the final product is incorrect.

    That's fine with me. I saw some speculation it was because they poured *one* new set of toolings for the parts on both Spindle and Impactor which is why they're the same color where as Leadfoot and Dominus were baked in to the respective toolings.

    I hate when people want the designers to tell us more, and then they do and get called liars because it doesn't match the priors.

    So you're willing to believe that this figure will be color matched to another figure not even rumored yet when they can't even color match to the figure they were aiming for? :confused:

    No. It's called speculation. I'm only guessing as to what could be.

    I'm saying that because the final product clearly isn't color matched to Springer like they said. I don't need to work in toy design to have eyes.
    As Fenrys said, the intention was most likely to have him match Springer, but plans changed and that didn't happen.

    The Wreckers are starting to arrive in Australia. Amazon AU posted my Twin Twist yesterday.

    Per the designer desk, Spindle is color matched to Impactor because they tooled the new parts for both Comic Impactor and Spindle on the same runners.

    This might be a bit of a stretch but did anyone's masterdominus and leadfoot come with an extra bag of weapons? I finally bought one and mine was missing the bag of weapons. Instead of dealing with amazon right away, I thought I would try here first. Thanks.

    they gave me a refund. I plan to buy a second set but I would prefere if I could find the weapons from someone online and use the credit for something else.
