    I'm not sure where it's located but I thought it was Hong Kong. Is there a pulse HK/china?

    You know mates, even if we eventually reach both tiers, I really don't think Deathsaurus will reach the same 26,211 backers as Victory Saber did, so going by that assumption/prediction/moan and groan, I can totally see Deathsaurus being much more rare than VS a year from now so needless to say he's going to cost way more in the aftermarket.


    On a funnier note, Deathsaurus DID plan to Haslab into the "Ultimate Weapon" to kick Star Saber in the kneecaps as stated in the campaign advertising, so I wonder if there's going to be a weaponised Haslab campaign??

    Same, I always love a villain who doesn't need to yell. When he speaks everyone listens.

    Excitement blinded you, eh? Understandable.

    You mean a Weaponiser? It's kind of difficult to come up with a character that would justify that kind of ability. The only one I can really think of is Armada Tidal Wave, being able to split into the Dark Fleet and also combine with Armada Megatron. If Hasbro goes down that route, I do think I'd prefer if the various parts don't combine with just one bot and are instead meant to be spread about a whole team or something. At least then he'd be gigantic, like in that PS2 Armada game.

    I crossed my mind looking at his face, that he looks a little youthful.

    Wow, the Living Metal Destroying Cannon is even bigger than Victory Saber’s V-Lock Cannon

    Yeah, I guess it did. It would have been cool to get the unlock and a Rise of the Beast trailer in one day.

    If it hit 17000 backers, it will be a bonus to get the throne, other than that, let's keep our finger cross that it will hit 14000 as i am contented to just get the Living Metal Destroying Cannon.

    400 backers a day for 10 days and it'll reach tier 2 in time.

    It makes my inner Beavis and Buthead indescribably happy to see how many times people have said, "massive dump" in this thread so far.

    Also I love the new paint sample pics. Much better than the dull cg renders. Although I wonder will the tiger boob wings still have the same chrome finish as the cg renders or will they really go with the gold paint as shown in the newest pics?

    That isn't gold paint. Tigerbreast has gold vacuum-metallised wings.

    Really? In that third picture it seems like there are brush strokes on the wings.

    That might simply be the effects of some touching up or something. Off the top of my head, in the presentation stream itself they outright said both Deathsaurus's head crest and Tiger Breast's wings will be gold vacuum-metallised.

    Totally understand that but i just fear that those whom wanted this Haslab Deathsaurus already pre ordered their whereby their pre order is in the current 13073 backers, in another words, getting new 400 backers per day for 10 days maybe a difficult feat.

    There are also the people who won’t back until a tier they really want is unlocked since they continue to not understand how crowdfunds work. So we should see an uptick once tier 1 unlocks.
