    Well, that would be where the Omnibots come in, for those wanting to complete the 1985 collection.

    Personally I hope Lio Kaiser isn't a Haslab. As limited as the QC issues with Victory Saber may end up being, a combiner has so many more moving parts and potential for disaster. In a retail release, such issues are far easier to resolve with a simple return and exchange.

    Its cope. This person is hard coping next haslab isnt victory so they get cheaper iteration of victory characters. Honestly making liokaiser a mainline wud push ppl to ask for a mainline deathy and VS, which is why they dont want liokaiser to be haslab.

    Honestly I think that’s a reasonable concern.
    I do wonder how widespread VS will have QC issues.
    I hope that some of the problems we’ve seen are a result of the folks at the assembly factory were still getting used to it, and only improved the more they put it together. But we’ll see.

    Haha, maybe. :D 
    I just don’t get the resistance to the idea of it.
    I feel like there’s those of us that are totally jazzed at the prospect, and then people feel a need to shoot down the hope because…. ???
    Really, whether mainline or HasLab, Six Voyager figures is bloody expensive.
    Hell, Six DELUXES are nowadays.
    If we’re gonna want a combiner team that’s both unique and has a panache few others do, why not shoot for the moon?




    Well, with Deathsaurus I wonder how good his poseability will be on his wings. Like, will they just flap like a butterfly hinge or can we tilt them back and forth too?

    Depends on where you live and where you shop. Many major retailers have moved to making action figures final sale items not eligible for store returns.

    I would like Liokaiser to be a Titan sized box set. I don't want to hunt for all of them. I want them all in one shebang!!

    I'm in the UK. Only places that sell Transformers are online stores such as Pulse. What you say is rather disheartening however.

    Bruh I literally backed both. I just understand that the design team isn't going to resort to all of Victory being in HasLab when it's a proven item. Deathsaurus was barely made into a HasLab and the entire plan for Evolution originally was that it would be a "Victory" year. I would not be shocked if that all got pushed into 2024.

    I already have one, actually. But I prefer the Siege version.

    Nearly funded. Excitement is building!!!

    As for Liokaiser or other Haslab/retail figures, the truth is is this:

    If hasbro thinks they can sell it at retail, it will be at retail, if they don’t, they won’t. Same goes for Haslab. All the speculation and conjecture is just that. Careful stating absolutes such as “it will never happen”, or “it’s certain”. There’s always people on the internet ready to point out you were wrong, but rarely anyone saying you were right.

    That Cybertron Prime is still a monster though. Like totally nothing like a modern Leader, which goes back to my point that a modern Leader = BW Ultra Class and Commander = Old School Leader.

    You're right!
    And I don’t mean that ironically, you’re totally right.

    And in the end, this is all toys and doesn’t matter, so I feel bad if I came across overly zealous. Just excited, and I guess I like this HasLab model, so far anyway.
    We’ll see what they give us.

    And I’m really excited right now to see this so close to being funded. I personally am cool with just the stuff we get at 11,000, but I’m crossing my fingers for the bonus stuff.
    Let’s say go!!!!!

    Why? These guys were mail away exclusives to begin with. It would be rather fitting, to me.

    Because, as you said, people will want these to complete their collections, and it would be a dick move to force someone to buy a likely several hundred dollar play set a large amount of people don’t care for to get three deluxes. It’s like saying that Galvatron, Scourge and Cyclonus should’ve been made with Haslab Unicron.

    Retail Lio-Kaiser = a budget cut all to hell Lio-Kaiser, and something I either won't want or will wait for sales before finally picking it up, whereas a Haslab one would get all the fixins, and I'll order three of them.

    Your move Hasbro.o_O

    I don't think the Omnibots equal Galvatron, Scourge and Cyclonus. And no one is complaining Victory Saber or Deathsarus are Haslab and I'd argue those are even more vital to overall G1 completion.

    Three sounds great!
    A set for Lio-Kaiser combined,
    Another for alt-modes,
    And of course individual bots…

    better order a fourth set for Breast animals displayed separately. ;)
