Actually, the 2 sources for the Target DPCIs and Slash (and casemates) are one in the same. Little ole moi. :-D

I only wanted Slash this time around.

And for anyone interested, Target is having a 25% off Toys today, Saturday, Nov 18th.

Good luck folks!!!

You're still stereotyping....

You know, I distinctly recall a link to the political discussion thread being posted in the Jazz news article ...

On a completely unrelated note, am I the only one who thinks the Voyager Starscream was a bit of a wasted opportunity for a full on Seeker combiner, and in the process a new set of good Seekers? Like, use the Takara Ghost Starscream mold (except in solid colours) for Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker and either Acid Storm or Sunstorm, and make the torso mold into Thunderwing. The individual robot could be based on the smaller inner robot, and the combined mode on his pretender shell.

& yet despite their warnings...continue to allow discussion about such topics

whilst other forums/sites ect have nipped it in the bud & in some cases even deleted or locked pages about such comments(their choice I know) y'know what's really weird....is that we get into such similar heated debates about when Hasbro doesn't give you what you want with this or that figure & end up hating on them for it.

I tried so hard (and got so far... but in the end it didn't even matter) to get this back on course talking about PotP... BACK ON TOPIC FOLKS!!!

Ya'll can be mad about Jazz's car mode, but I think it'll lead the way for some creative G2 inspirations like the... color changing one or some of the spy changers.

I also seem to be the only person excited about windcharger... I'm so glad we finally got an update of him and brawn

Something I noticed about Slash...On the back of the package there is a Prime Master affiliation. In this case Liege Maximo. The card inside the package was Liege maximo.

(Sorry for the washed out image)

The card inside with the figure was Liege Maximo.
Front

Back

I checked the deluxes and each has 3 affiliations shown on the back. At first I thought they might be limited to the 3, but on closer examination that doesn't seem to be the case. So I'm wondering if there will be 12 different Slash cards. Hmmm :-?

I'm confused. Does she convince bots to give up the locations of their allies?

Back to this Starscream torso business... why the hell was this even such a secret in the first place?? Likewise with Jazz, Dreadwing, ect, having limb capabilities? That's like a Ford saying "we've got a brand new redesigned Mustang being made... but does it have such premium features as headlights? You'll have to wait and see

". We can all see it... but you can't just come out and say it.

Withholding positive selling points just seems ridiculous. >:oP

Why do I feel like I am posssibly the only person remarking on a posting about Target's pricing on a board about Target's pricing?
There are others who have made several appropriate comments about staying focused on the topic. Let's use those suggestions.

And now, to make my real comment:

It shows that Target is pretty much keeping it's Generations pricepoints, which I am absolutely cool with by all means!

The real question should be how the ever living crap is she even able to access the Prime Master's power? Presumably you need a conduit, which I assumed the bucklers and chest arm is used to do.

Umm, you do realize that board isn't limited to only Target pricing, right? This is a general discussion board for Power of the Primes Leaks, Rumo(u)rs, Reveals, and other related information on this. The Target bit was just the most recent news article from this thread.

NO. WE MUST ALL TALK ABOUT TARGET PRICING UNTIL THE NEXT POTP STORY.

But yeah, seriously, if it's POTP related at all then it's on topic. So chill. :roll:

I'm guessing any future Jazzes will have a changed version of the tampo. No recall.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be mad if they went back and retooled him into Leozack and gave us a proper Liokaiser torso, even if it’s just teal Starscream with two new heads.

News Credits: 8 · by **Flashwave** » Sat Nov 18, 2017 11:36 am

Every time we get a new Starscream I compare it to whether it is worth replacing a near-complete set of Classics Seekers (minus Acid Storm and the Botcon set) with a solo StarScream. Normally, my answer ends up being no.

But I like this mold. I like that it homages the Movie Screamer in the combiner torso, has the G1 crown, an almost Animated esque chest cockpit, and its a good scale. But I really like having the other seekers.

This gets my vote.

Went hunting for the Legends this AM, but they have yet to unload them, and asked me to check back in a bit.

Got Jazzy, in the meantime -- all others were gone!

YES! THANK YOU!!! thank you so much for posting this this morning, as soon as I saw this i checked that site and it said my target had "limited stock", so i called, and they said they had 1 case, but they werent sure if they were allowed to sell them yet, so i went there, waited a bit for them to all talk it out, and successfully walked out with both jazz and swoop, leaving dreadwind and slug there. Swoop is really, really, REALLY fantastic, absolutely wonderful figure, I've been playing with him so much that I haven't even opened Jazz yet. Get Swoop as soon as you see him, you won't regret it. This new line is starting strong, and considering how good the terrorcons look, I'm very excited for it. Looking forward to seeing what the future waves will be.

I don't want to be political but the jazz issue is slightly offensive to me since I'm Canadian and want to leave USA Politics out of my transformers, my question is since I want to pick up jazz once he's out, do any of you think his issue will be in any shipment sent to ON Canada? Also is their any ETA on POTP figures for Canada?

It's probably still going to be on those copies sent to Canada. But realistically the letters are cybertronian and so incredibly small that it really shouldn't be an issue.

Maybe simply riding on a Legend scale figure is enough? She does have a seat on her back.

That and retool Beachcomber into Jallguar to finish the team from the box set. Just remove the headlights to save plastic, close in the cockpit to replace roll bar, and maybe resculpt the exposed engine into a missile launcher or something. Feels doable.

I'm an American and I agree with you
Politics needs to stay out of transformers
As for the jazz issue nobody would have noticed it anyway if someone didn't point it out to be honest I think someone was looking for something that wasn't there just to stir up controversy
