    The Toy Gods have rewarded me for my willingness to brave todays monsoon in search of plastic idols.

    B&M had one solitary Bradley Doctor and TARDIS set sat on their shelves and Smyths had an 'out of stock' exclusive Tibidon Station Obi Wan figure on theirs - In tribute for their benevolence, I also grabbed a Crankcase from Smyths. :D

    Surely we're looking at a white ER Prime with the trailer done properly. Would need extra trailer parts as well as the armour, a la Motormaster, to make the trailer sufficient. I knew there was a reason why he's so leggy!

    Phwooo I don't know what it is but there's just something about a mustachioed muscle man with a big honking bazooka. :oops:

    I would be pretty tickled if that was the case, especially as it would really lean into the Armada theme for the year!

    Looks amazing! Hoping for a Big Convoy in the not to distant future.

    Also what are your thoughts on the potential SS86 Commander Ultra Magnus. I mean I know he could never replace ER Ultra Magnus in your heart.....;)

    Got another reply from Show Z Store,

    They're only sending me a replacement Grimlock using a different carrier and I already have shipping confirmation! :)

    I like the fact he has his Dad's league Softball shirt on and just bundled himself into his work gear on a Sunday. Mass violence and destruction is infinitely preferable to mowing the lawn or a trip to the garden centre obvs.

    Well
    Siege is 5 years old now. I expect a new mold. Commander Class means we might be getting a white Prime instead of cab integration. If they go for cab integration, it will have to he massive to justify Commander class price.

    While like many of you, I want us to move on and get these last G1 characters done, let’s be honest, Siege/Kingdom Magnus was a hugely compromised toy.

    SS86 they can really do him justice at the Commander class price budget and tick that Magnus box off for good. Think he’ll be class, given the quality of the rest of the 86 line.

    Now you’re probably all sick to the back of seeing these lads. But seriously, wow. Cannot wait for Deathsaurus to join them now.

    I just opened Legacy Motormaster (I figured it would be 'wise' to check for QA issues ;) ) and and stunned.

    Half the box is just... air?

    Edit
    Pushing Motormasters shoulders down was not fun.

    My guess would be that they took more orders than they had been allocated. Potentially they KNEW this and thought they could finagle some more and/or people might pull out. Like how some airlines/hotels will book the same seats/rooms for the same time in case someone pulls out. Doing that with a limited run figure is just dumb though.

    She'll still shoot you but now it'll be blue ;) 

    You're being more charitable :p 

    Seems plausible.

    Wow, her face looks so soulless in this form...

    Also the latest in a series of "Why not make the face sculpt look like the box art?!" I'm getting tired of all these neutral face fembots! Gimme shouty Chromia, angry eyes Arcee etc. At least many male bots get grim determination for a neutral-ish face sculpt. Most fembots are getting just : - |

    Aww that's adorable.

    ...

    As for these leaks, well guess I'm going to be saving up for the Nemesis :D 

    My thoughts on Commander Ultra Magnus, even allowing for price hikes I feel he'll be a new mold. At Commander I wonder if he will be able to carry Deluxes?
    Based on the Movie and it being Studio Series what I would expect to see:
    - A Matrix Chamber and Matrix.
    - Full transformation with trailer, no inner bot.
    - For fun: Removable parts to recreate the Junkion scenes

    That said, I doubt I'll get him. I like Siege Magnus so much I have all three versions :D

    Totally agree, FFS the fembots usually even have their eyes too far apart just to make said bland, flat face!

    Remember when an opening Matrix chamber on a figure that wasn't a Masterpiece release was a big deal? Now everyone and their evil clone has one!
