    I think you meant a white Nautilator. White Overbite is in the GN set and is named Sea Phantom.

    Would this one have been depicted as female if not for the yellow Spychanger one being retconned to be female though, even if it was originally meant as male and you don't view that retcon as particularly valid? Cuz I can't think of any other basis for there to be a female yellow RID Prime, and knowing how these Legends/Selects manga looove their references, there's no way it wasn't based on something.

    It's kind of funny, I just did the math based on my past orders Nautilator (multiplied by four to approximate the limbs) and Super Megatron (for Snap Trap), and against the God Neptune set, after state taxes, it's $14.80 cheaper for God Neptune than the individual G1 counterparts.

    So, win-win for me. I've got Nautilator and I'll have God Neptune, the plan worked.

    As I pointed out when I did the quick translation of the comic, after getting the appropriate colored matrix/star power to attain Godhood, they brought some extras.

    They brought the Matrix Buster (BWNeo Big Convoy) from the Red Star, the Black Legends Disc (Transformers Go) from the black star, Lagoon Starscreams hand from the Yellow Star, Shining RA and the Matrix Saber (Arms Master Optimus - Arms Micron/Transformers Prime) from the blue (or silver) star, and the Creation Matrix (Galvatron II) from the Green Universe in addition to the Star Powers to become a God.

    I'm happy for you. Though I really like my set of Seacons. I wouldn't trade them for the God Neptune set. Though I am close to saying... here is my money. Because I do like the colors and the entire idea of them. I am just not into BW or BW2 in general. But he is a legit combiner in the sense of G1 Scramble city. Choices...
    I could also just grab a EX Megatronia from ebay… For the same price.

    I love that set. Ironically I got them for the individual members and it's the most stable combiner I own (at least currently), even though they've spent almost no time in that mode.

    I definitely like the look of that set, just wasn't capable of picking it up back then monetarily wise. Now I can and probably will. Though I am also thinking on Omega and Scorponok. I got my Jetfire for a great price btw. about 70$

    I hope we get a reuse for the Nautilator mold. I wouldn't even mind if it wasn't for the God Neptune set. My first thought was they could do a Bisk with beast mode.

    So I read some people mention beast wars combiner. I would love that. Beast wars is the series that introduced me to transformers. So it saddens me a bit that we don't have more robot to beast figures. I would love to get updated versions of Magnaboss and Tripredacus. Especially Tripredacus. I like him more.



    I liked the helmet minicon and faction change feature of that figure. It was super cool. That is why I added him to my collection. But I will say his articulation is HORRIBLE. I wouldn't mind getting an updated one with improved articulation.

    That could be so cool.

    I am always afraid of that. I would hate to have like half of a set that I wanted to complete. It is like then i don't want to display them because I will look at them and think "I'm missing (insert name here)".

    That would be awsome all around.

    I am thinking I should watch this series now.

    It is sadly true. We want a gold Nd white lobster.

    Good for you. Isn't it a great feeling to get things you really want.

    Eh. Yellow female Prime on a planet of Yellow female characters

    If Funpub interpreted her as female...cool. She's a lady now anyway. Or an alternate reality version is a lady. Ah timelines.

    That is insane. Who would ever go for that.

    I like this. Makes me think of a hermit crab and their shell.

    The only thing I would change is his gender. Make this a femboy. They could also make changes to the mold so it looks more female.

    That wont happen thought but one can dream.

    Did you mean Fembot? I mean, both could use the same tooling changes, but one might be a bit..... FISHY compared to the other. A Crab Trap waiting to happen!

    I just checked out the HD pics at pulse. And here I was rejoicing in a saved $190 for this year. Well, hopefully it's the start of a wonderfully silly BWII shelf.

    Basically - if you missed out on the singles, buying God Neptune set is only half a replacement cause they are different as a set than as individuals forcing you to have bought both...well played Hasbro. Well played. Hope they do not do that for Raiden...

    Hilariously Femboy is what I had in mind
    But more like you can tell it’s a dude, but has very feminine features like has a fembot Shaped lower half
    But he’s super cute like a shota

    which fits Japanese Aesthetics but he’s not flamboyant or gay just bi

    Full claw will take what he can get in his hidey hole, but Terrormander is his number 1 ( he loves dat snark)

    I really want this set... but I just can't justify the price. This is one of the reasons that I quite buying official stuff and just went 3rd party Legends.
