So there is suppose to be a Lucca convention starting today. I think Hasbro is attending. What do you think?

 

He looks great with some paint indeed!

 

I don’t know if Hasbro is planning on showing anything, but I am hopefull

 

Gotta love that metallic candy red. So eye-catching!

 

Got a little something for my birthday. All hail the glorious hobo and disembodied head!

 

You're in big trouble.

 

Totally agree. It’s why I think that keeping the bot mode mostly the same (add articulation!) and downsizing the car shell would work really well. He has so much personality and feels so badass but the shell and the car door arms ruin the imposing and accurate silhouette.

 

What's everyones opinion on this? Been thinking about getting this.

 

He's good! Probably the weakest Leader Class in Studio Series but only because the other three are so terrific. A bit hollow in some places, but well detailed and comes with some neat accessories. He also pulls off a nice size shift from a large vehicle to a robot mode roughly equal in height to the Studio Series ROTF Voyager, while still feeling like a Leader Class.

Plus, he's currently $14 below retail on Amazon!

 

Agree with all this. I like the rotf Megs better but this one is essential too, IMO.

 

Happy Birthday!!!

 

Nothing really new on this pic but it does highlight all of the new parts on WWII Hot Rod:

 

Legendary Nemesis Prime: Bandai effects, 3rd party Bruticus blasters, custom forearm side ports
Shatter and Dropkick: Nothing custom

 

At least scavenger is properly transformed

 

Man I love that new Megatron but I cannot unsee the new "enemy scrotum"  

 

Looks like he’s taking a legendary dump  

Sorry friend just joking  

It’s not a clean cut but you can never see back there. Cut just enough to give clearance for the car kibble that sticks down. Gives him about 10 degrees of backwards lean which actually really helps. I’ve been trying to think of a way to add toe articulation too but that’s pretty advanced for me. Maybe @Lukelbs or @savio-prime could handle it.

 

Awe, looks like I missed some drama earlier. Damn, I love a good show.

OPTIMUS PRIME OUTTA FUCKIN NOWHERE.

 

For a sec there I thought that was Jeep Bee. I was about to say just throw whole damn mold a away Hasbro.

Imma have to give multiple ones. I just can't stick with one unfortunately.

Firstly, I'd have em redo Jazz. His backpack could've been way better and I would've given him a sword accessory like his 2007 toy.
My second choice would be Starscream. Do t get me wrong he's a nice toy but I wish they would've found a way to make his thrusters available on his back.

My 3rd choice would be Lockdown. He should've been way taller or something. That's my only complaint really.

My last choice choice would be Grimlock. They really really should've added at least one accessory with him. His staff obviously. The toy feels weird without it.
