    Why would you say that when it’s been confirmed as a leader class figure at the regular leader class price for months now? Hasbro doesn’t just randomly charge a ton of extra money. They have price points. Yes he’s a voyager figure by himself but a transforming trailer, flight pack AND tons of weapons? Definitely worth the money.

    The next constructicon to be revealed. Do you predict he will be release the end of this year or do you think they will stick with 2020 as planned?

    So I played around with Scorponok last night and I'm not sure what to think. The detail is insane, but it's incredibly fragile and light. I don't think it's worth the price I paid for that quality of plastic, but I'm warming up to him. I've got him currently on my Masterpiece shelf because he fits the aesthetic and the bots around him have good stability even if they are bumped. I wouldnt dare put him next to Bonecrusher or another figure that isn't as stable, because if I accidentally bump the shelf and someone falls on Scorponok, he's a goner.

    I'm also a little bothered by the size. I'm realizing how big Scorponok actually is, and now I'm wondering if it is big enough to warrant an MPM. Perhaps they could sneak him in as a 3rd figure for the year somewhere down the line. I'd be a little upset if he took the place of one of the two yearly releases lol

    I would be gratefull if some of you would help me decide.
    There is a poll in the Radicons
    To Rust, Or not to Rust (AOE Optimus Prime)

    Thank you in advance.

    I believe we will see at least 2 of the 4 remaining Constructicons later this year and then that particular wave will start showing up late this year December to early January.

    For other stores leaders are probably $50. But where I order, (Amazon) it’s usually $65-$80 sadly.

    I wonder if it’s possible to heavily retool the new Studio Series Movie1/ DotM OP into a flat nose truck for a rusty Evasion figure

    It’s just comin up as “thread not found” when I click the link

    But I vote for clean

    Then wouldn’t it make sense to just order from somewhere else?

    Hasbro, being their normal plastic crack dealers. Every time I try to get out, they just suck me back in.

    I honestly want them to retool this into a proper TF: Prime Airachnid.

    I fixed the link, they moved the tread cause it was more of a creation thing than a repaint so it was put in the creative tread here:

    Only reasonably priced leaders are at BBTS (at $55). Amazons just a reliable website. Rarely any shipping fees. Or BS order mistakes.

    Welp, this decides which version of Optimus is going to be displayed with my Studio Series guys - Trailer that transforms into an armory, extra weapons, AND the jetpack! Movie accuracy be damned, he's going with the 2007 team hahaha.

    I also like BB Movie Optimus a lot, but I have no doubt we'll be seeing like 10 re-uses of it within the next couple of years.

    @erwinsims can we see your custom Ratchet's robot mode? I'm curious to see how the back transforms :)
