That's the joy of collecting, you can put anything, anywhere, anytime.

I hope they throw us a bone and give Nemesis Prime Hot Rod's sword.

Indeed.


I am surprised no one's mentioned this Prowl :




Seriously though, I think Animated Prowl is the one that stands the best chance at being this figure. Edging out another G1 Prowl. And will probably be a retool of Arcee/Flamewar

I love that Prowl. I have the one in the black color scheme

I think ER Prowl with new head and maybe other slight remolding makes most sense to me

Distinct possibility he'll come with the ax that was shown in Optimus's instructions but has yet to be released.

Got the updated shipping notice for Leadfoot and Masterdominatrix

Me too. These guys are good at wrecking a lot of things, but our budgets most of all. The entire set came out 4 months early using the money that many of us had probably set aside for Velocitron and Target stuff.

Same here. I'm trying to save up for BotCon at the end of the month but so many things that were supposed to come later keep coming early and taking my money. So frustrating!

Look who just arrived:






Have a few nitpicks with him so far, but nothing major.

Lack of heels on Motormaster makes him hard to stand.

Trailers rear tire panels seem awfully flimsy.

Have not transformed the trailer yet

Hope your motormaster doesn't yellow!

Hopefully it won’t.


I am having a lot of fun with him though.

Is your brute mistransformed? I think onslaughts arms go on top?

For anyone that complains laser optimus isn't leader size.

RodimusPrimeUkraine1 wrote:Is your brute mistransformed? I think onslaughts arms go on top?

Yes. I don’t like how that looks, so I rotate them back.

It also gives him a beefier torso that way.

I see.

Are Spindle's hands/feet are supposed to pop off like this or is that mold degradation finally setting in?



I mean you just have to breathe on those things to pop them off.

Mine is the same way, they just slip in and out with little effort. Kinda frustrating when trying to attach them to another figure.

Emerje

It seems to be a common issue. Mine are a bit loose but not as bad as yours it seems.

On a semi-related note, has anyone else had problems with Masterdominus's robot mode hips getting stuck in the part they attach to for alternate mode?

Jeez. Only the super glue trick or a 3D printed "upgrade" part may fix it.

Sounds like the housing is misshapen or the pegs are molded a fraction too small.

So I got my Wreck n' Rule Twintwist and Bulkhead today, surprised Springer isn't here, he and Bulkhead shipped the same day.

Twintwist has some great colors, they really stand out on him. I love how he looks, and he will be a great addition to the Wreckers shelf alongside what I am going to call his IDW self.

Bulkhead is neat, I actually like him more than his retail self. And here is where things go funky: I took his mace and gave it to retail Bulkhead for the proper double mace look. I will give his hammer to Breakdown. Then, I gave him the retail Bulkhead minigun and all but one of the guns from Red Cog, and thus we have Legacy AOE Hound! And it works pretty well, he has all kinds of guns and explosives, and the look is there. I always liked movie Hound, and given he considered Leadfoot a buddy, I feel he would make a good Wrecker too.

Also been messing with Metroplex more. I have to say, I think he is the best quality Titan we have ever gotten. He is so good, so posable, so stable, and so much fun. I think he displaces Iaconus as my favorite Titan Class figure now

I'm going to be doing a watch on Titan Cybertron Metroplex at my closest Target. I know one store means nothing in light of the entire world market. But After discovering 2 of them in stock last Thursday and seeing they still hadn't moved today ( 4 days later), that is unprecedented at least for Target. Scorponok never sat for more than a few hours. The Ark,never for more than a day or two....Im fairly certain they were the same 2 and not restock based on how slowly they arrive, especially where I live. I know Titans at TRU from 2013-2017 was a whole different system.

To be clear, despite my personal lack of interest,I don't want this to fail because there are certainly other Titans I'd like to see.

Gotta ask, does it matter? Did Target restock Scorponok or the Ark? If not then it really doesn't make a difference if it takes 5 days or 5 months as long as they sell. It's already amazing that they're sold in stores in the first place as a lot of us go to Targets that don't sell Titans or Commanders.

Not to mention that, it being in a store at all shows it didn't fail, since all this stuff is pre-bought from the manufacturer. The worst that could happen is Target could say we're not going to carry them in the future.

Emerje wrote:Gotta ask, does it matter? Did Target restock Scorponok or the Ark?

Emerje

Yes. Scorponok was restocked twice at least. It could have sold way more if not for the Pandemic. At the same time comparably priced MPM figures shelffwarmed and eventually went on clearance.

The Ark was restocked at least 3 or 4 times, which shows it did well. I understand about the lack of Titans and commanders. There are 10 Target stores I can travel to in about a 25 mile radius. However only 2 of them carry Titans and Commanders. While I did see Skylynx a couple of times in 2020, I never saw Rodimus at retail in 2021. Yesterday the Target I went to did have a shelf space for Motormaster, so we will see if they actually get it at some point.

I know it's readily available online. But the reason why it matters to me is because while online shopping is preferable to many. There are still many more like myself that still like to see something in person before you buy it.

While very few parents are going to want to throw down $200 on a toy for their kids, I still want to see how it does at retail.

I got my hands on DK-2 Guard and Red Cog and both are great figs! I'm going to reprogram DK-2 into a ....his colors demand it. Red Cog is a solid stand alone figure and will not be used as a weaponizer as many opt to.
