Very nice! I will look forward to mine.

Emerje wrote:Man, still waiting for Gamestop to ship my Laser Prime. They charged me on July 1st because that was the "release date", but the status has only said "awaiting product availability" since then. So much for only charging when ready to ship. I've never pre-ordered with them before, I doubt I will again if they're going to be this behind literally everyone else.

Emerje

Strange, Gamestop has been spectacular for all of my preorders.

Got Bulkhead in today



Pretty fun to pose



Lots of options with his accessories which is fun



In hindsight, I should've included BW Agent Ravage in these photos as a multiversal rival of Hound



Pretty happy with this guy, alt mode doesn't scale too well haha

What if this Bulkhead was retooled to be like a G2 reverse Convoy? Lol just a random thought

No, reverse convoy was a tank.

*sigh*



I'm aware of reverse convoy's previous alt mode lol there are plenty of examples of transformers with previously established alt modes that have different ones with new incarnations. Duh

I said "random thought, what if" not "oh hey know what would be a great idea? Know what they should do because it makes the most sense?"

I ran across an image of G2 Megatron on instagram. The camo reminded me of this Bulkhead. I remembered the previous rumors of this Bulkhead being used as a mold for a version of Optimus Prime. I thought of reverse convoy- again, random. Reverse convoy- based on the quick skim I just did- was depicted as either Megatron disguised as the autobot reverse convoy, or the dying body of reverse convoy being possessed by Megatron. So in my head when I think of Megatron posessing/disguising as a convoy, a more convincing disguise would be with a truck alt mode/convoy-looking body as opposed to a tank alt mode/Megatron body with convoy face slapped on it. So this hypothetical version of the character would be leaning more towards a convoy look than the Megatron look

Would there be better ways to execute a new version of the character, and better molds to use as a base for the character? Hell yes. But I never implied otherwise

Now that I think of it, bulkhead reverse convoy would look more like ultra magnus than reverse convoy.

Well here's a bad idea: what about energon optimus prime? Or more ridiculous yet, G1 optimus prime. The tarp/sheild would replace the trailer. I'm getting many strange ideas on how that would work.

Slight remold as well and he could represent Animated Ultra Magnus.

I think we missed our shot at a new Reverse Convoy during Titans Return. A Headmaster gimmick would have suited him well.

That wouldve been very cool, yes
If reverse convoy were ever to appear in legacy or evolution or something along those lines, what universe would he be from? Robotmasters?

Hard to say, that's still technically part of G1, so it may not say just like Beast Wars.

"G1 Universe" and "Beast Wars Universe" may not be called out, but "Comics Universe" still is for Impactor despite being G1.

Yet not for IDW Blurr

Maybe because G1 Blurr, no matter the style, originated in the G1 toy line and cartoons which don't get called out, while Impactor originated in the Marvel comics?

Maybe, still looks inconsistent to the laymen

Now that I think about it, are those universe designations part of the full trademark?

Lots of new sightings today. Both Legacy Titan class Metroplex and the exclusive Red Cog figure were found at targets today.

MrRay found the Red Cog weapon pack at a Target in Pennsylvania, while Zuckuss found Metroplex at a Target in New Jersey.

You'll see in that Metroplex photo that Zuckuss also found a never before seen thee pack in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line which rereleases deluxes Bumblebee, Prime and Cheetor.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

This sightings were originally posted here and here.

Yeah, well it's both Legacy and BWBB.

I guess I'll be swinging by Target on the way home. Don't care about Red Cog, but that Metroplex would be nice.

So pictures from the I-assume-still-ongoing TF SDCC panel have started hitting social media, confirming the existence of Deluxe Skullgrin and also showing Crankcase to be a Skids partial, but at the same time I'm seeing someone who is at the panel saying that Hasbro is intentionally only showing the bot modes so they can go over the alt modes and accessories on a separate Pulse livestream?

Oh, except for Alpha Trion and Orion Pax, those we get to see all the modes for despite that not being the case for the others for some reason.

The SDCC Panel gave us reveals of Legacy wave 3 (no wave 4 for you!). Only the bot modes were revealed for some reason. The alt modes will be given at a later time. The new reveals shown were:
Deluxe Skullgrin
Deluxe Blanker (Pointblank) with Targetmaster
Deluxe Crankcase (based on Skids as everyone and their grandma predicted) who is a partial use of Skids
Deluxe Dead End
Leader Transmetal 2 Megatron
Pulse Exclusive Alpha Trion and Orion Pax

They also officially revealed Armada Starscream and Inferno which we saw a while ago.



















We found these images on TFW2005

Nice to see those figures are being sighted; I’ll be on the hunt within the next couple days.
Also, this morning I received notification that my 2 copies of Motormaster should arrive on August 5th (from Target.com). I’m feeling pretty good that this preorder is going to work out.
For anyone hoping to find him in-store, according to what I received, Target’s release date is July 31st.
