Every time we see a box like this, surely it's a nail in the windowed boxes coffin?

 

Can't find it in the gamestop database so.... I guess I'm SOL

 

Convention exclusive packaging has been almost entirely windowless for decades.

 

Nobody tell him about Lego boxes

 

"Erial"s bike mode new nose makes me wonder if a Street Hawk Crossover is in the pipeline!

 

I need someone to talk me out of CHUG again please. Between the War Dawn figures and the Origins figures I might crack.

 

I’m mixed on this. On the one hand I’m kinda glad I didn’t get the two pack (probably should have) but I use FOC Optimus as my Orion Pax. So maybe I’ll pick this up with the reason of doing pre-war Cybertron display and where their lives were. On the other these molds are kinda mediocre unless it’s implied somewhere Dion is slain by Megatron? (Sheesh how many times has that Kup mold been used?) Ari-I mean Erial….well….Uhmm….well I was gonna use Netflix as my Erial. But at the same time this sort of works…like not hating, I’m kinda on the fence till I see it at the store, maybe on sale.

 

Technically we don't have a War Dawn Alpha Trion yet.

War Dawn Alpha Trion looked like this!



No beard, just a stache.

 

Hell YES!!!!

 

Making an upgrade kit as we speak

 

totally can see it too. lol

 

Just needs a bit of a shave is all.

 

I’m using ex Gohkin Aloha with the alternate head to represent his war dawn look.

 

fingernail clippers would work as well.

 

That'd be pretty interesting to see

The yellow and purple deco would be nice, even if it reminds me of how much I want a new Sideways lol

I could maybe see a Cyberverse/IDW Chromia, but I really hope that UNI listing is for a new mold. I really want an accurate rendition of that design that'll fit in with my current collection

This idea probably won't sit well with people, but with the new bike front I wonder if this could maybe work as a new Triggerbot Override?

 

I'd be more interested in this set if Ariel wasn't a motorcycle.

 

Might do if they gender swapped them too.
One of the Turbomasters could share bits with Backstreet too I guess. & Dogfight with a Predator plane.

 

What smells like another Kup retool?

Looks like Casey Collier's work. You can tell by the eyes, chins, and cheeks.

 

$50 (USD conversion) is a bit much for this imo. Like, I know that's basically the price of two modern deluxes, but we know one of them still is made from a mold with tolerance issues. I'm glad to see these two get repped though, and for Dion to NOT be a Hot Shot.
Also, I lowkey think I predicted Energon Arcee, going off of Eriel having a new bike front. For context, I digibashed Legacy Arcee into Energon Arcee: Digibash: - "Buzzworthy Continuities Collide" Concept | TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards

 

Wow... these work very well. I'm very impressed by the amount of remolding done, though Ariel's head looks a little small.
