A brand new mold of TWO characters that eould "superlink" into a Combiner Wars compatible torso would be super rad. Then, repaint/retool some previous PotP limb bots and we could have a killer Monstructor set.

Unless something has changed, they still haven't gotten AOTP wave 01 yet. So there's a trade off.


Canadian here. Had my Megatronus, Solus & Prima Prime delivered mid-Apr, May 2 (they all had Release Date of May 1/2 when PO opened on Amazon/GameStop/Walmart Canada).

Was that before or after Vortex and Alchemist Prime were found in stores?

Was there high demand for this re-release?

I mean, wasn't there a color variant not long ago???

This is the color variant. The SS86 version of Blaster was a hard-to-find Target exclusive. The Kingdom and Legacy versions were mass retail.

Only Toys R Us had it in Canada. And like all of their Transformers, it was 15% more expensive than the normal price.
So, nope.

Meanwhile still waiting for a Thrust reissue...
I get it that maybe this was more difficult to find than regular Blaster, but it wasn't as bad as Cosmos was. SS86 Blaster also had a limited amount of preorders on Pulse did they not? I didn't have quite the issue getting Target Blaser that I did others. Plus, wasn't it just last year? I don't understand how one item will have an immediate turnaround like this one while others were a much longer wait. But whatever, as long as people who missed it can now get it much easer.

Ditto, in Australia.
Thrust was very limited & sporadic. Same with chonky boy Cosmos.
Blaster was not an exclusive to Target, thank goodness.

Good luck everyone.

I just transformed the SS Leader AoE Optimus. The bot looks good, but the kibble management is still cancerous. The transformation, however, is very interesting and appart some panels massage at the end, it was easy enough to figure out.

Still, like Bee Concept Megatron, ROTB Primal/Apelink, he does not feel like a leader. It is more like an "Ultra" class, when there was something between Voyager and Leader.

Still, TBH, the old leaders from 2007, ROTF and DOTM could count as Commanders nowadays.

Thanks to the fact that it was 25% off from Prime Day at Amazon.ca, I finally got myself the Devastation Optimus Prime. He's big enough for a deluxe and the bot look pretty nice... from the front.

This deluxe have the ugliest weapon I've ever seen. I find his butt-scrap kibble to be an eyesore and the truck's look is ruines due to those ugly side panels. Also, what's up with that giant-ass trailer hitch? I bet there's something planned for it in the future.

Anyway, compared to the top deluxe Optimus contender, the Earthspark one, the Devastation is a failure. At around 10$CAN more expensive than the ES, the Devastation fails to be better.

The ES have a more original bot mode, and he's a bit more fun to transform. The truck looks amazing from all angles and even his hunchback-bacppack loos more streamline that whatever torture device Mr Devastation carries on his butt.

Overall, D. Optimus isn't horrible, but there's better deluxe Optimusses out there. Like the G1 Universe one.
