Menasor still looks underwhelming. Bought Drag Strip because I liked his figure, but I'm just not sure whether I'm going to get this guy still. It's mostly the head sculpt really.
I like the Motormaster figure so I'll probably get the team but not sure if I'll display them combined unless a 3P come out with a better head sculpt. Or I might wait for Takara's Motormaster in case their head sculpt for Menasor is better.
I hate that people mostly take pics of this mould with the chest cavity open and nothing in it. It just looks stupid. Take one of the chest closed up as well, it might actually look decent. Ultra Prime's looks better with the chest closed than open with nothing in it.

Ultra prime's chest cavity could look better though especially if the detail was painted to match energon primes spark of combination.
At the moment it makes it look like menasor is a boss character in a video game showing off where his weak spot is

That's odd, the first thing that struck me with these pics is that I really liked the head sculpt. It's not authentic to the original, but it is more distinctive - it makes Menasor stand out from the others.

I like him a lot more now I've seen these in hand pictures. Can't wait to stuff Skywarp in that chest cavity to bulk it out.

How did he acquire them from EE? The site still shows them as pre order?

wonder if he's as floppy as prime is in torso mode. the retail head is painted much better. i love it. also his open chest looks a lot better in the retail version. really hope they fixed the floppiness.

I saw 3 Aerialbots and Dragstrip at Walmart today. Why is Dragstrip featured as Superion's arm on the back panel?

The fifth ariealbot is out with wave 2 along side the rest of the Stunticons. There's been a few theories as to why ranging from making the shelves look a little more diverse to forcing people to play with the scramble city aspect

Here's an idea: try suing Hasbro for false advertisement, especially if wave 2 never reaches your area

I would assume he works there. If you look back at his twitter feed he attended SDCC so he's at least in the right part of the country. Plus whenever I order from them (and I do a lot) my order will be processing for 2 days, then ship, THEN it goes live on the site.
I'd assume they got them in friday, he grabbed his early, and they'll start shipping orders monday or tuesday.
If nothing else he pre-ordered early with nothing else in the order (I have the blackjack legends in with mine and it arrived quick due to his location.

I was serious, though. Is Dragstrip on the back of the Aerialbots' packaging simply because he also comes in wave 1?JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Thanks.

Yup. Notice how cross-sells never picture figures in later waves, only the ones in the current one or earlier? I'm surprised nobody sued Hasbro over the Movie Trilogy Deluxes not being available, despite evidence pointing in the direction they should be as they were featured in Movie Trilogy Optimus Prime's box. That's False Advertising.

Did you see the discussion about Prime's pegs breaking Thundercracker's hands? The seekers apparently won't fit in the chest cavity well. So, if you eventually try Skywarp, I recommend caution.
This is also speculation, but is based off of a retailer I know much better than EE, BBTS. Sometimes BBTS gets in smaller air shipments of product, with the rest coming in, literally, on the slow boat from China. BBTS will then fill out the early pre-orders. The site will still show the product in pre-order because the air shipment arrived and fully sold out, but the rest of the shipment is on its way via oceanic freighter and has not sold out. That would be my guess here, but I don't have any confirmation...

Isn't that the fault of the retailers and not the manufacturer? [edit] Or did Hasbro never release the figures?
[Edit2] Aha, thanks TFwiki! It looks like, while Hasbro did not release them, it was because of poor response from retailers and consumers. Tough to hold Hasbro responsible for that, unless it's the quality of the product. We consumers can be a fickle lot...

They were never released period (though Movie Advanced series Soundwave, Ratchet and Wheeljack are based on those figures), and I don't think they were officially declared canceled either.

You beat me to my edit above. According to TFwiki, the line was indeed cancelled before "wave 7" which would have included the ones you mentioned plus Nitro Bumblebee, as well as Evac, that Universal Studios Ride exclusive toy.

Looks MUCH better than official images led us to believe, especially Menasor's noggin. Though Menasor's upper legs still look dorky, there are ways to fix it.
Speaking of: Blackjack's axe of doom/chestplate looks awful lot like the original Menasor's sword hilt... Do we know if the axe can attach to his sword? It just looks so dorky plomped on his chest and a handle sticking out...
