    Whelp, it was super rounded sword handles. I stand corrected. A bit underwhelming.

    Considering I doubt they fixed the problem with Slug and Sludge's ankle pegholes breaking way too easily, no way this is worth $200.

    Still happy with my Hasbro/BMB Volcanicus mashup. Although, I might want to get another oversized KO sword for double sword madness. 9BA24DAC-AE95-427B-B02D-00C7C16141C7.jpeg

    I'll have the crow.

    So cartoon accurate colors that's cool if you're into that kind of thing, but there's something fishy about the hands and feet.

    What an absolute waste of a release. We are getting new Leader Class figures of Grimlock and Slug and it Studio Series shifts into doing the 1986 movie. These molds are about to be outdated. This is just a cheap cashgrab by Takara to cash in on the molds before they become obsolete.

    We\'ll...for the first time. I am disappointed in a TT release. Should have been a new character. Oh well, my wallets glad I guess.

    I don't understand, there's so many other things they could have done, especially with SS86 Dinobots on the way, a repainted Volcanicus even with the new hands, feet and torso part seems really unnecessary, maybe even a waste, I can only speak for my own area and circle but most were not too keen on Volcanicus, these were the only official full team Dinobots so people bought them for that, not so much for Volcanicus and with the OS available, this one seems so easily written off. Please don't complain about me complaining, its just my opinion.

    But Takara are the lords and saviors of Transformers and can never commit such a heinous act as a cash grab

    22,000 yen saved. God Neptune has me excited. This? Wasted since it’s the same mold.

    So they throw in 2 swords combiner feet and hands and call it a day. If only they came with weapons for each figure.

    Another thing is, they are small. For what they should be. Volcanicus in my opinion should be massive. More massive than Predaking. Yet it looks flimsy at best.
