I much preffer this two pack since I do not own that earthrise mirage mold, and I don't own a leadfoot yet which can always enrich my Wrecker troop.

Id prefer magnificus over chairman. Fractyl or Lazorbeak from terrorsaur would be easy. Toxitron from legacy prime. Antagony from the upcoming inferno, anddddd just like that im out of ideas. G2 legacy prime into a generations style dotm Megatron idk

I'd like those better as well but I was trying to go with a single team like theme like the Wreckers. Also, most of those will probably be made in Generations Selects. It would be crazy if they don't finally make a retail Toxitron from Legacy Prime. It wouldn't be cost effective to make a new Perceptor or BW Inferno without doing Magnificus and Antagony from them. Not that there aren't other molds that haven't been reused yet though.

Leadfoot looks really nice. Sad they could not include his signature feature: A Rotor.

I'll probably skip this and wait for the Bulkhead repair repaint see what that is.

On an unrelated note, Amazon finally decided to fulfill my Laser Prime pre-order. Shipping sometime next week hopefully. My Dragstrip pre-order is still unclear as to when....

@ Overcracker....Bulkhead repair, what did I miss? My thanks in advance! :VEHI:

Nice G2 figure; shame Hasblo seems to want to bulk up the price with unwanted fluff like Fossilizers. I'll probably slap a Maximal/G2 symbol over the "incorrect" Wrecker ones and paint some more metallic/black paint over some of the bone coloured areas to improve them both.

This might mean that Springer, like Arcee, will get a Studio Series release, minus the cr@pple-damage paint?

Leadfoot is just...*chef's kiss*

Repaint sorry. A Bulkhead repaint is set for this Velocitron line.

Unwanted fluff for you, maybe. Fossilizers are the main draw for some.

Fossilizers are all I care about >:oP

Would really love a spindle figure, but it's a shame that it comes with impactor, that figure's an abomination

Gimme those two sets! I never had experience with either Earth Mode Mirage or Impactor, and I'm a sucker for Fossilizers. Any word on an upcoming Wingfinger redeco to complete the trio?

We think Mammoth, they say Mastodon, I say... I can't get a good luck at the skull for ID'ing what it actually is, but the higher ridge indicates it's actually... a Mammoth :lol:

Just these two. The rest of the figures are non-Fossilizers.

Agreed on all of that! Haha and yeah understandable that you were being consistent with star seekers. Main star seekers i like are thundertron and cannonball, and I was trying to think of other groups like mayhem attack squad but I got lazy lol

Man, really loving these repaints and retools. For me there hasn't been a dud yet. So it looks like the last three boxes will mean the Jumpstarters in one box and the Voyagers in one each. Not sure why the boxes are sized the way they are, maybe it has more to do with the graphic than actually fitting the contents.

This isn't the Velocitron line.

I wonder if we're expecting the wrong Bulkhead. Maybe someone got their wires crossed and Springer and Bulkhead are the same figure? Energon Bulkhead in Japan was called Sprung, the Japanese name for Springer. Not saying we aren't getting Springer, but maybe he's got the extra splash of orange from Energon Bulkhead and the leaker got confused by the description they got and the second Voyager is someone else. He'd be awesome with the wright Weaponizer, maybe a repainted Brunt for the claw hands. None of this is likely to happen, it probably will just be a repainted Legacy Bulkhead and repainted Siege Springer. Still interesting that we're only getting one Legacy figure in this line.

Hey, the other day somebody here or on tfw posted a great image comparing the four impactors and his comic Art. I can't find it again! Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Well, calling it a Mastodon works for the sake of the homage

though a pink wingfinger, a blue version of the triceratops mold (forgot the name at this point) and a red Paleotrex would fo nicely. Shame about the sabertooth mind.

So has Undead Big Convoy appeared before? Or is this a new mould?

It's a retool of the triceratops Fossilizer. There's no new molds in this line.

Oh ok. Which means this one should attach to the Fossilizer Gestalt??
