IIRC leaks have said we’re getting a Leader ROTB Primal.

 

The SS version will be a leader class. But many people do not want to spend that much so a decent substitute will be the mainline Voyager. I know many people will get that as the replacement.

 

SS is getting a Leader, but the ROTB mainline is getting a Voyager Primal.

 

oh thanks for the confirmation. Will see which version looks nicer to me. That's what I'll end up getting.

 

Nice, looks pretty solid for a little kid's toy. And I like the colours used for the toy, it really makes him pop out.

 

Perhaps I missed it with the Optimus... but how and/or what... does the smashing do? Is the transformation spring loaded? Are kids going to be asking their friends if they wanna smash and not break out the Gamecube controllers?

 

If only Hasbro included Dinobots with their original names in this line, British parents could hear their kids say, "I wanna smash a slag."

 

Yeah it’s seems spring loaded. At least with the Optimus Prime one, you “smash” but really tap the toy 3 times. 1 pops the arms out. Another stands it up. The final pops out the head.

This totally doesn’t look like the movie version. I wonder if this was a Buzzworthy version of Primal initially

 

Somehow... I feel even more underwhelmed T_T... three taps? We had lever technology back in Beast Wars era, push buttons back in G1... T_T

 

I usually hate these sort of figures for being overpriced and looking like crap in one or both modes, but this one is actually alright! Looks decent in gorilla and robot mode. In some ways I prefer this design to the movie version- the gorilla having more fur, the blue on the robot mode chest and head. I probably wouldn't get it for myself, but it looks good for donations or gifts.

 

quite liking this chunky munky
