    These look great. The one slight surprise / disappointment to me is that the Astro Squad don’t connect with the same peg system as the Battle Squad, so you could replicate the mix’n’match aspect of the original micro combiners. That feels like a missed opportunity.

    Not only that, but he's apparently also a Decepticon. Doesn't make much sense to me. I though for sure he'd be an Autobot or neutral.

    I don't see any logos on the figure itself, maybe they just put the logos on the packaging and stuff for branding? I remember they used to brand Unicron as a Decepticon back in the Armada days.

    It's on his instructions. It's probably a holdover from Brunt, but it's the only info given on his allegiance.

    That Optimus Rifle is waaaay too big. It seems scaled to POTP Leader Optimus. If i get this I may reporpuse it as Elita's sniper rifle from the show.

    It's weird they made the prime rifle so big, even when they do something great like this accessory pack they still find a way to mess it up. :/

    Man, that rifle is huge! I guess I'll be sticking with the one Prime came with or find a third party one I like... or maybe track down a cheap Siege Prime and take his gun. :lol  Otherwise I like the rest of what's on display from the weapon's pack. No interest in the Centurion Drone... off to eBay with him once the set arrives.

    Surprised, how did someone get their hands on these? The preorders for the pit only come out in september...
    Must say the accessories are great, better than some third party versions of that axe and mace I have seen.
    I wonder if you can put the jetpack on Sideswipe too, as I recall it was him who loaned it to Prime in the toon. Prime's gun is huge, easily more of a two handed shotgun.
    While I prefer Dirge to have lighter grey instead of black... the design and poseability is so much better than the Henkei one, I have to concede. I like that like Skywarp, Dirge has a different, shouting face too! And they got a lot of remolded from the seeker mold, pretty much the whole upper torso, crotch and the flip-up leg panels are new too, not just the head and wings.

    I like this accessories pack but it’s just weird that some of them are way bigger than they should be (Prime’s rifle) and some of them are too small (Roller).

    Even the axe and mace seem slightly out of scale with the figures. Oh well, I still think it’s cool that they did this set.

    Thanks! Really odd how these would be out in Japan, when they usually get everything months later.
    Well, they were only seen being controlled by Bludgeon in the comic. Probably due to that.

    Just to let you know, they’re not out in Japan—Tagoal paid a lot of extra money to import these from Hong Kong, where they were apparently released in limited quantities at TRU. No, TakaraTomy treats their fans like crap here and releases everything 3-6 months after everywhere else, even though it’s the exact same crap and they just put Japanese stickers on it... they announced Dirge & Ramjet on Twitter, but said preorders will start in August, and judging by the preorders this month, will probably be out in February 2021 :mad: :( 

    luckily though, I bought Ironhide/Prowl off of Amazon US which ships to Japan for pretty cheap.

    General sale in HK apparently. Lots of things have been hitting early in various places ie Exhaust and Greasepit were on sale a month before the official reveal also Sky Lynx hit the UK before the US too.

    Its all over the place at the mo but Pulse seem to be the last ones to get anything lol

    Prime’s new gun is hilariously large, but it’ll probably look good with Galaxy Upgrade Optimus, who I’ve hacked into a sort of Star Convoy for my shelf. The axe and mace will look fantastic on ER Prime and Siege Megs. Will be fun deciding which of my Decepticons get the alt mode cons.

    I got them off Amazon too, but I am just surpirsed how they were out already. Thanks, so Hong Kong of all places got them first? Odd... since I think by now these are all manufactured in Vietnam.
