ahhhhhh shit, is that thunderwing, and hes an overlord/black shadow retool?

 

Looks like it! That is killer!

 

just a quick rundown of everything,

 

I hardly buy official anymore and don't really like Beast Wars but Primal/Optimal Op looks nice. Will likely get.

 

Everything is looking good to me! Optimus Primal definitely doesn't disappoint and Rippersnapper looks great.

 

Wheres that pic from? Im really curious about the sky shadow retool.

 

The thing about Animated Bulkhead is that he is far more "G1 Hound" than he is his namesake from Energon. Friendly green land vehicle and all that.

That was what I had thought of for Hound's transition to Prime too. I really wish he had come to light instead of Primal. I would have been very interested in seeing where they would take him in both design and character, instead of the horizontal movement given to Primal or even Star Saber.

 

Probably Thunderwing.

 

I'd only count the jet mold for as many characters as it's been.

Silverbolt, Cyclonus, Scattorshot, Seaclamp.

Counting the same character between UW/CW isn't fair to Takara or Hasbro since they've got their own markets/audience to take care of.

And the G2 repaints, as well as Computron set, are knocking Hasbro for reusing the same mold for the same character.

The only time I'd fault Hasbro is Battle Core Prime. As they could have just as easily re-released vanilla CW Prime and had Maximus use that.

 

The ??? Is the Megatronus Prime Master.
You can see the symbol on it, that matches up with the list to the right of Megatronus.

 

Buried Lede: Each torso comes with a unique Enigma. Grimlock has the "Dinobot Enigma".

So they're potentially abandoning the idea of "teams" on the cross sell (at least the packaging) and just selling the torso and limbs as mix/match.

Which would be a good way to help move repacked voyagers and Deluxes, while leaving the door open to flesh out a team once *all* the characters are available instead of giving away the ship now.

 

I brought up all of them because people were worrying about mold degradation, hasbro uses and takara uses would not be the same run of a figure so if you worry about stuff like that then realistically you have to take into account every use of the mold

 

It looks like it at least to me. But that would make the most sense. Not official or anything.

 

Hun-grr is a new mold not a retool

 

Interesting.....

That photo posted earlier of Silverbolt transformed into Hun-Grr's alt mode sure says differently.

 

Love the Optimus primal. I wonder if Takara will make an MP of it...

 

I mean if it's look is not the photo's fault, this makes Hun-Grr's situation even worse, doesn't it?

 

Hmmm, who is that scythe-wielding bot? Very interesting

 

So the Optimus Primal core robot forms a hover board instead of a gorilla like he\'s supposed to? Well, every third party company, you know what needs to be done here.

 

Hasbro has given us so much of what we want. I'm just waiting on a voyager Shockwave reveal and then I can RIP (only after buying everything of course!)
