Only if he's done right. At least a voyager class (but I prefer leader, since they're so small these days) in proper comic colors.

Indeed. Not another Archive Oops like how the Thrilling 30 figure was colored.

I like to think that Jhiaxus' orange deco is his "G1" look. His original comic book appearance, which was in the Marvel G2 comics, is his "G2" redeco.

Not sure if this is newsworthy, but here's a video review of Select Volcanicus from Prime VS Prime:

Huh, when did Selects Soundblaster get pushed back?

I only got an email about Volcanicus being delayed on Pulse, but that, Abominus, and Soundblaster all seemed to be delayed about the same time.

Interesting. My wallet is thankful but I was hoping to get another figure with a Merc faction symbol sooner rather than later. Isn't the only difference between Hasbro and Takara Soundblaster the faction symbol? Wonder what the hold up is.

And the cleaner chest window with less battle damage than the Hasbro one.

Ah, yeah, he's been 'de-Siege-d'

Not sure if any place besides Robot Kingdom has Volcanicus in stock yet, (online reviews have started to appear) but correct me if I am wrong, but other retailers usually get it about a month before Pulse? Or is it 2 months? I am hoping that if others are getting it now, then Pulse will get it before the early May delay date.

A delay notice email for Abominus & Soundblaster hasn't been sent out yet, but I expect it sometime this week.

Another glimpse of T-Wrecks:

So Pulse sent me an email trying to get me to buy a premium membership (no chance) indicating big drop today with with exclusive access from 1:00-2:00 for premium members.

Most of the recent drops gave a 3 hour window for premium members, so I'm wondering what it might be. I'm hoping it is something worth the hype. My wallet is hoping it is an MP so I can pass.

I remember when MPs 1st came out and everyone was tripping over themselves buying them. Now some treat it like a plague.

Might be T-Wrecks given the recent leaks

I put MP's and Haslab Unicron in the same type of category. They look awesome, but just aren't for me. I like to actually play with my TF's and transform them quite a bit. With MP's and Unicron, I would probably only transform them each only once or twice out of fear that I might break something. Just way too much money for something I won't actually use much.

My hope is Walgreen's Earthrise Bluestreak under their "Partner Exclusives" section.

My wallet and I would both be okay with that since I already have him. Oddly enough I saw 2 on the shelf sometime last week.

Did they specify a time zone for this 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM window?

ET, which I'm now realizing is a kinda funny coincidence that Hasbro uses that timezone, and they might be revealing alien robots

Is it a Transformers reveal or is it this hungry baby yoda thing

Agreed. That's why I only have 4 MPs. I got a bit hyped for Unicron at 1st but then I cooled off.

However, with Galvatron's reveal, I'm really looking forward to his Selects version. I always liked the silver/light blue better than the purple.

Yep, looks like it's just Malibu Grogu with NEW COOKIE.

I wish I could go back and confirm, but it just seems to me of all the times Pulse used the adjective "Epic" to advertise an upcoming toy reveal on their site (which they have several times), it's never been a Transformer.

So no transformer reveal today?

Apparently not, sorry if I got anyone's hopes up.
