    @Convoy it turns out I was wrong, the current AMP suit is a new mold, not a reissue of the previous one as I had surmised!



    Sorry for the misinformation!
    I'd hazard a guess that you could still disassemble the new release, but couldn't say for certain...

    So in conversation over in the Post-WFC spec thread someone just pointed out Twincast's "Evo-Fusion Ability", and it's this:

    They mentioned that in the fan cast. I thought it was a joke as that’s where I put Blasters blaster anyway!

    Wot? Perfectly crumulent evo feature.

    To be fair I considered that to be a wee bit tongue in cheek

    I've messaged him and sent him a link to your post. Hopefully it'll drag him back into the hobby j/k


    It's a great figure and well worth £26. I'm looking forward to the upgrade kit to beef him up further. Scourge is cool too.

    That was a joke posted on Twitter during the feed. It's not real.

    I thought it was just a note on an alternate placement, that it's the actual on box "gimmick" when "ejects a smaller robot" or even "combines with energon-infused partner for power up" are, like, right there for the taking? is it 'cause they already used that on Blaster's Legacy box (mine's a Kingdom so pre-Evo-Fusion packing)?
    Check the Pulse UK listing Gallery, Morg, it fur realz!

    EDIT:
    Looks like my theory pans out...

    It's likely for gimmick differentiation/non-repetition.

    Pirates of the Caribbean , just watched it this weekend with the boy.

    Wondered if anyone has any info on studio 86 Ironhide and rumble. Were they fully released in UK, or have we just had a few dribbles of stock in advance ?

    Aw yis.

    He isn't going to convince anyone who isn't a fan of the movie aesthetic (possibly the most Bayverse of Bayverse designs) and he was a meh villiain in an objectively bad movie (I don't mind it though) but this toy is great. Flawed, but great.

    This design in plastic reminds me of 90's Kenner, specifically Aliens.

    Bonus Soda. She would laugh in The Fallen's face and give him a bop on the ankles.

    I believe Morg (@Genetic) has posited Rumble will propagate, whereas Ironhide seems to have been clusterfudged a bit by getting out in dribs & drabs to etailers whilst also weirdly slamming straight to discount at some lucky few Toymasters, could he crop up in GAME shortly at this rate? Who knows?!

    Well in my much delayed photoshopping Ranger bots I was going to do Grimlock for various reasons, not least of which that the Dinobots were kind of the 'Sixth Ranger' of the Autobots. But I think you used Grimlock for Red?

    Can't pretend(er) part of me wonders if fun pub had kept their licence I'd they'd have done a few more shells.

    :lol  Pfahahahaha, that is both evil and hillarious! I bet someone PMs it to you in two weeks saying "haha look what I found online".

    Soda is clearly a power far more sinister than a mere robot Sith Pharoah.
    The Fallen is nonetheless great, I had no expectations but find myself tickled pink with him. A pleasant surprise! Sparkling eyes! Two-in-one-arms!
    He is really nifty and Optimus watches him wistfully, much as a hungry Soda would a guinea pig.
