That's what I'm hoping for, and just the Decoy Armor, I don't need another Prime Master, there's nowhere to put them on the Throne of the Primes and scepter.
I don't know yet what I'm going to do with red Swoop, but I hope ToyHax makes a Terrorsaur decal set for him so I can Stick him on Starscream with Blackwing and Dreadwind (and Amazon Blast Off for now).
And I'm not seeing Ricochet on Elita Infin1te. I see Jazz clearly on the left leg and an indiscernible gray blob on the right that I think is supposed to be Blackwing. What am I missing?

It's purely aesthetic, so don't sweat it too much if you can't get them out.
I had the thought afterwards, that maybe you could use a book or something hard and flat that can lift the arm off the table. Place the shoulder piece on the elevated surface peg slot down, with the elbow hanging over the edge. Stand over the pieces. Hold the shoulder with one hand while pushing down on the elbow with the other. The raised surface could act as a sort of fulcrum and might make it a little easier.
Hope that made sense.
But, yeah, expect some dents in your fingers.

Wolfman Jake wrote:I've got something similar in mind for if/when we get Select Series Ricochet/Stepper. PotP Jazz has white hands when they should be black, likely based on how Hasbro laid out their gang molded parts for the figure. Ricochet/Stepper should instead have white hands, but if he is produced the same was Jazz was, he may end up with black hands (the plastic colors for the molds would just be reversed from Jazz to make Ricochet/Stepper). The interesting thing about the PotP Jazz mold is that the hands are articulated, attached to the wrist of the forearm with a mushroom peg. The articulation is useless, because the car paneling on the outsides of the arms blocks most rotation of that wrist joint. However, it will allow me to pop the fists out and swap them between the figures, making each a little more accurate in terms of color layout. I've also got some plans to swap out the white square peg of the combination joint in Jazz for a gray one from another figure, again to give him a more cartoon and toy accurate color scheme by making his abdominal area gray/silver instead of white.

Thanks! And I'm surprised no one has done it either. This was literally the thing I have wanted to do with these 2 figures since Primal was shown off in full

I hope this is real.
Do keep in mind it could just be these 2 as they were "teased" via packaging, with Ricochet possibly being Elta Infinte's right leg and Swoop being red in his render.

Hydra and Buster are more likely to be an LGEX set if they happen, what with being Masterforce characters.

Because Inferno comes with redecoed Abominus feet, and the Prime Armor feet and voyager heads seem to share sprues (A sizable amount of Elita's paint budget went to painting black over the base salmon color).
D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Man, if these come, they are really gonna throw off my combiners. It'll mean having 2 spare limbs, and honestly red Swoop and Wreck Gar would be the spares. Ricochet would go with Jazz, the girls, and Inferno to make Infernocus, or maybe Artfire-tron (that one needs work). Maybe I could get 2 Swoops and replace my custom Sunstreaker and Prowl on Magnaboss, or just use Wreck Gar on Magnaboss too, and then remove the stickers from Sunstreaker and Prowl.

Just wondering because if you collected all the mass release figures (including exclusives) until now, you should have "full" teams of decepticons (multiples of 4) and 2 spare autobots (right now Rook and Alpha Bravo for me).

In the past few years, Hasbro has given us Overlord, Super Ginrai (a.k.a., Magnus Prime), and not one but TWO versions of Metalhawk. Japanese G1 characters are definitely on Hasbro's radar.

We know for a fact that Inferno's head is tied to his mold, not his Prime Armor, since it's an unused part of the mold from Combiner Wars.

I'll list mine off here:
D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I'll list mine off here:
Superion: Silverbolt, Air Raid, Firefly, Skydive, Alpha Bravo, Powerglide (never wanted nor got Slingshot)
Menasor: Motormaster, Dragstrip, Dead End, Breakdown, Offroad, Blackjack (never got nor wanted Wildrider, found a spare Dragstrip with no accessories and missing a wheel for $2 at a parts swap, one on Menasor, one elsewhere to be seen)
Defensor: Hot Spot, Blades, First Aid, Streetwise, Rook, Groove (never got deluxe Groove, never really wanted him despite opportunities even a few months ago)
Bruticus: Onslaught, Swindle, Brawl, Vortex, jet Blastoff, Shockwave (I did get Prime Wars Blastoff, to be seen elsewhere)
Lost Lightatron: Cyclonus, Hound, Trailbreaker, Smokescreen, Mirage (all from IDW Lost Light)
Optimus Maximus: Battle Core Prime, Prowl, Ironhide, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack
Magnaboss: Silverbolt, Ironhide, Prowl (all done up with the Botcon stickers), custom Prowl II and Sunstreaker (with some admittedly crappy stickers but they have worked)
Computron: Hasbro boxset
Victorion: Hasbro boxset
Liokaiser: Hasbro boxset
Volcanicus: Grimlock, Slag, Swoop, Sludge, Snarl
Abominus: Hun-Gurr, Rippersnapper, Blot, Cutthroat, Sinnertwin
Megascream: Dreadwind, Darkwing, spare Dragstrip, Prime Wars Blastoff (the latter 2 make good legs together)
Infernocus: Moonracer, Novastar, Jazz, soon to be Wreck Gar
Spare torsos: Elita 1, Sky Lynx.
I never got any botcon or collectors club related limbs, nor any Unite Warriors ones, though I regret not getting Grand Galvatron.
If I could get older UW or CC figures, I would like to have Terrorsaur and Fractyl or Tigatron and Unit-3 for Magnaboss, and Impactor and SG Starscream cause I love the Rook mold (really needed to get more of him) and I love Shattered Glass. I don't regret not getting Predacus or the whole of Wreckage, but I did like that Toxitron look. Didn't really like Counterpunch or Bluestreak though.
So these 2 kinda throw a kink in there considering with Wreck Gar coming I had all the numbers figured out, and even if I display figures by themselves, I like to have the chance to form a nice even number of combiners with no extra limbs.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:The first Metalhawk was a convention exclusive (as was the Fire Guts Ginrai redeco of Classics Optimus Prime), and the Titans Return release was similarly exclusive to a special set alongside "Magnus Prime".

Were there pictures of the unused heads?
