Does that make Jake their car mode?Razorbeast88 wrote:Wasn't sure what thread to put this one but fossilizers are kingdom soooooo
Any moon knight fans? Tried to have punch/counterpunch as steven/marc and the fossilizers to make up khonshu and armor. So far just kinda tried several things, this would be for Mr Knight i guess since I have the armor on punch
You mentioned your plan to build Khonshu in the Legacy thread, but you never put the pic up anywhere that I saw, at least.william-james88 wrote:I'm a moon knight fan. I forget, did I post my pic of Konshu using the fossilisers?
Also, I just got my Slammer and I am not a big fan. Unlike the earthrise modulars, this guy feels wonky and lims to detach quite easily. Like Cog, which I guess makes sense since those are more similar. Though I wish Hasbro had improved.
Looking back on Kingdom, not sure in what order I would rate these toys but here are the ones I liked best:
Airrazor
Primal
Cyclonus
Inferno
Tigatron
Blaster
And my favourite of the fossilisers was Wingfiner

MaximalNui wrote:Finally ordered and got Tricranius and Transmutate, and so far I'm loving them both! Though I suspect my Tricranius came with two left arms instead of one right; it doesn't affect the transformation so it isn't a huge deal, but does anyone have the opposite problem so we can trade parts?
I already replied in the other thread, but so what.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:The best WFC figure with the best Legacy figure. any RG1 fans in here?
Rodimus Prime wrote:As for Rodimus, I never got him because of the trailer. It would be awesome if Hasbro rerelease his Hot Rod component by itself in either Legacy or Selects, even though I know some fans would get upset.
And I like the RG1 story, just not that version of Jhiaxus. G2 was more entertaining.
That's why I had a hard time saying no. If I got him as he was being sold, I would have an $80 voyager figure. I am also a big fan of Rodimus from the comics, but I have to settle for MP-28 as my "Rodimus Prime" even though technically that's a Hot Rod figure.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:As for Rodimus, I never got him because of the trailer.

My Rodimus trailer mostly hangs out by itself in battle mode with all the effects parts. The main figure though is just so good, legitimately amazing. They really did make him nigh perfect.

I'll echo Emerje here and bring up Gears, we know for certain he was planned for the line even after the SS86 split. Granted, according to leakers with inside info, Gears was planned at Core Class, but if we're planning at a stage in this hypothetical where Core Class doesn't exist yet, then that wouldn't matter, and that bit of info always made it feel to me like Gears must have started at Deluxe and got shoved down to make room for other Deluxes anyway, since otherwise he would have been inconsistent compared to Huffer, Warpath, and Cliff from ER.Sabrblade wrote:Thus, in this new scenario, we have the Deluxe waves like so:
Wave 1: Kup, Jazz, Blurr, gimmick figure
Wave 2: Huffer, Arcee, Warpath, gimmick figure
Wave 3: Tracks, Wheeljack, Slammer (gimmick figure), repack
Wave 4: Pipes, Sideswipe, Mirage, repack
Tigatron replaced Polar Claw, not Starscream. We know from the artwork of the line and from leakers that Polar Claw was planned before losing his spot to an in-scale Tigatron, and both Tigatron and Starscream still had planned Kingdom Voyager releases by the time of the line's store listings leaking. I'm pretty sure what got Starscream kicked was Hasbro internally greenlighting Coronation Starscream for SS86, as they didn't want the Voyager version to detract from the potential sales of the Leader.Sabrblade wrote:Though, Tigatron was a replacement for the canceled repack of Earthrise Starscream after it was decided to make Tigatron a Voyager instead of a Deluxe, so there would have been three beasts and three G1 guys at one point.
I would switch Wreck-Gar and Screamer so that wave 4 would be Sweep and Screamer, since Screamer is himself a repack already and that would put Wreck-Gar and Sweep in the exact same later waves they released in in SS86.Sabrblade wrote:So with that in mind, the Voyager Waves may have originally looked like this:
Wave 1: Hot Rod, Cyclonus
Wave 2: Scourge, Inferno
Wave 3: Starscream, repack
Wave 4: Wreck-Gar, repack
...all three SS Leader figures that year had store listings leak within the same week though, they couldn't have waited for Grimlock to already be on shelves to make Slug and still have pitched them both to stores at the same time. Unless you're suggesting Hasbro told stores they were making a character with every intent of switching that character out in 5-8 months (based on how early Slug and Grimlock's listings were found compared to Grimlock's release), which considering that Legacy Straxus listing that showed up maaaaybe could have been the case, but seems unlikely to me.Sabrblade wrote:The obvious choice for who Megatron took the place of is Grimlock, but that's assuming that Slug wasn't also originally in the cards at the time. And, well, that may have indeed been the case.
Slug's wave came very late in 2021, during the late Fall and in the Christmas season. His wavemate was ROTF Grindor, a reuse of the Blackout mold. Slug may have only come about after Grimlock was not only first made but also after Studio Series 86 had proved successful enough. It's very possible that, once again, Grimlock was going to have been the only Dinobot released, and that the decision to make all five Dinobots in the Leader class came after Grimlock was made.
I'd think it would be the following:Sabrblade wrote:So with all that in mind, the original Leader class waves could have been:
Wave 1: Optimus Prime, Grimlock
Wave 2: Ultra Magnus, repack
Wave 3: Galvatron, repack

I think we're all in agreement that the line would have still had a Weaponizer equivalent, yes, but why would they be fossil-themed if they weren't doing Beast Wars stuff?william-james88 wrote:I would like to add that I believe the Fossilizers would have been the gimmick for the Kingdom line even if it didn't have Beast Wars figures. The fossilizers were made to go with the G1 characters, not eh beast wars characters. We see that both in the options for connection, which are much fewer in the beast wars line, and the marketting which only shows the fossilizers connecting with the G1 characters.

Perhaps they could have been smaller Junkions or even Lithones, to better match the TFTM theme, in this hypothetical alternate version of the line.william-james88 wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:I think we're all in agreement that the line would have still had a Weaponizer equivalent, yes, but why would they be fossil-themed if they weren't doing Beast Wars stuff?william-james88 wrote:I would like to add that I believe the Fossilizers would have been the gimmick for the Kingdom line even if it didn't have Beast Wars figures.

Sorry, I never answered. I don't have an answer though, don't know. But it is odd that the fossil animals don't interact with the beast transformers as well as they do the G1 characters.
