    So got the Netflix Prime... Wow there's a lot of great engineering on him, and no visible hollowing. But one thing you just don't appreciate until you have him in hand, just how long his legs are. Serously, legs for days.

    Little sad the effects parts for the Weaponizers aren't included though. Cat took off with Pteraxedon's in march I think, and I haven't been able to find it since. Wonder what they'll do if they continue onto kingdom molds for the Voyager packs, since they aren't making new Weaponizers or Micromasters.

    Probably a core class pack in, it’ll be the same value roughly

    I can see them doing a pack-in Paleotrex in brighter colors to try to get die-hard Primal fans to buy it for a color-matched skull mace. Other than that, maybe Packrat, Core-Seeker variants, and some Vertebreak repaint/retool. They could still throw in Battlemasters using the existing molds, but I reckon they would be novelties at this point.

    I'll miss Battlemasters, even if they petered-off during ER with only three new molds.

    Throwing in paleotrex would throw off pricing and make the wave 3 voyagers $50 instead of $40

    Whoops, I was also including the Shattered Glass pack in my head. I think Generations Selects would be an entirely different thing compared to those on-the-shelf voyager packs. Apologies.

    Is Siege already old news? The seekers were amazingly well articulated.

    Yep, they sure were and should be considering their shellforming nature (of course, nowhere near the level of Arcee molds, which are 100% shellformers).

    It's going to be interesting in the various threads as the movie bots cross several lines.

    Yeah. I saw a post by one of the mods that says to post where you feel it's appropriate within reason. IE Bee and Soundwave in the Earthrise thread.

    Studio series and kingdom will probably intermix a great deal.

    Baliff with Paleotrex. This is one of the default weaponizer configurations in the instructions.

    Storing the Nemesis Prime accessories. Note: my trailer has been modified to have the guns mount straight; on an unmodified trailer, those guns will sit skewed if crammed in on the rearmost holes. The red Dark Saber only needs to slide underneath one of the silver guns to stay put.

    Not pictured: the Fangtron effect piece, could be crammed wherever there's open space.

    Who will win? Master Sword or MegaZarak shield?

    Both bruisers take up so much space that even to get this image I had to like back off over 5 feet. Cog is now incorporated into Fortmax ver.2! Too bad he got no ankle tilts.
