    Is anybody actually going to pop a gasket if this IS a cheaper set than the individual figures? It's a more niche color scheme.

    Walmart?

    This was from FunPub. Never sold in stores.

    The original plan was to sell it as a Walmart (or another store) exclusive Energon Terrorcons set, hence the UT appropriate color schemes. But they were ultimately passed on by the store, and ended up becoming an exclusive with FunPub.

    I was just saying that had they made it to Walmart, they would have likely seen a clearance mark down and we could have gotten them cheap (which is how I ended up picking up their Ruination/Bruticus repaints at the time).

    Not me, would be nice to get God Neptune at a lower price, especially if the Nautilator mold is omitted.

    If this really does turn out to be God Neptune then I can't wait to display him with Devil Gigatron, I just think they would look really cool on the same shelf and their color palettes are almost identical to eachother.

    Couldn't give a damn either way. The price of the Seacons never bothered me to begin with.

    Notice that Coelagon has a Decepticon symbol and his two guns

    Because of the BWII characters, Dirge and God Neptune, for a sec, I thought they were hinting the purple megatron would eventually become (beast) Galvatron.

    Well I think the original had no symbol as well as no guns, so that's two things that might already be different.

    I think the GN Seacons will have all of the weapons.

    That's from a Fun Pub comic.
    Hardly has any bearing on what Takara does with GN.

    I say drop Nautilator as usual and all the secondary guns.

    Abominus isn’t the same, because to emulate the king’s design you would have to swap out sinnertwin for either a moonracer/novastar or a second blot

    No one rejects the god king of the 7 cyber Sea’s of cybertron

    I intend to reprolabel some Con logos over the Predacon logos and these guys will be my G1 Seacons just wearing their “Energon Armor” I’ve got most of the outliers for this Decepticon Crew and literally all I need is the Seacons and I can commit to giving this oddball crew of Cons their own shelf.

    Hell yes, hopefully this is what it ends up looking like. Personally I hope a Nautillator repaint is part of the set but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't since its not accurate to the source material. I'm in either way.

    I missed out on the first guys so I am happy to see this. Though I hope we get a white nautilator. I like lobsters. Also I hope this comes as one big set. That way I don't have to find all the parts.

    I too am an essential worker. I work at a liquor store. I have seen an increase in paycheck. It is so busy it is like Christmas but no presents.
