Hey, dude's gotta keep warm.

Still don't like Moonracer, her legs look awful.

The Dinobots, warming up to them though i still think they would have been better if they were all voyager class figures and didn't have the combining feature.

Now I have to give him a matching dino headband for Sludge's workout video.

I was really hoping Takara would do something different with Starscream since I hate the stickers on the Hasbro one and is the reason why i haven’t gotten it yet.

Well, at least I can get the Hasbro one and not feel like I missed out on anything better.

There's a posting for Rodimus Unicronus on EBay from Wichita, Kansas. The listing is here: https://m.ebay.com/itm/Rodimus-Unicronu ... SwubFaX8U-
The first thing I noticed is that it does indeed rock Decepticon symbols. That's really disappointing to see Hasbro played it safe yet again, rather than embrace the character's Shattered Glass inspiration.

That's pretty strange because in the final product images you could see that the trailer has symbols and Nemesis Hot Rod an symbol. And if I remember right, the chest parts are the same in normal mode and evolved Prime mode. So either that's a last minute change or it's a KO. A pretty early one

If it's a KO, it's a very convincing one. It even has the batch code embossed on the back of the box... I learned that one from JelZe!

Blame it on stupid toy accurate decos. If it was cartoon accurate it would have been all grey. I never understood why people want toy inspired decos on cartoon inspired molds. All those toy accurate decos homage the worst of gang molding choices, lack of paint apps, and ugly stickers.

Accepting compromises between toy and cartoon is never an easy task...

Does help break up the colors, I'll give them that.

They even changed the promo images on the box. But it's not that big of a deal. There'll be a Reprolables set for him to fix it or just buy a shattered glass faction symbols sheet

Snarl... can he really be a leg with his tail like that? Hasbro's pics showed the tail open, but if the tail can stay closed then that's ideal.

This has me wondering: did the trademark for the SG insignia expire?

B/c they'd be crappy under-colored figures, one of the reasons the newer mp's aren't receiving the mass love they used to, the show colors are lazy at best, monochromatic at worst, I never buy the figure with the more subdued color scheme, and, judging from comments going back a ways, a lot of people feel that way too.

Can it expire? I feel like the color really has nothing to do with it, it still belongs to Hasbro even if it were neon orange.

Moonracer looks great, can't wait to get the new fembots, especially if Elita really is using the fixed starscream mold

We got a news tip recently sent into us by a visitor to the site, and it's a big one! Power of the Primes Leader Class Rodimus Unicronus (the Shattered Glass inspired redeco of Wave 1's Rodimus Prime) has been found at a Walmart in McPherson, Kansas! This marks the first verified sighting of the figure anywhere in the U.S. (and perhaps the world), as well as being the first Wave 2 figure to be found at retail! Thanks for sending in your sighting, J!

Have any of you Seibertronians found any new Power of the Primes figures (Wave 2 on up), anywhere in the world you happen to be? If so, please send us a photo with receipt (or a photo with the picture on the shelf at the retail outlet) to sightings@Seibertron.com, and be sure to post your sightings in your local sightings forums and on our Toy Sightings page to help out local collectors!

Good person, you said EFFING!!! YESSS!!!!!! I believe you meant to say EFFING!!! NOOOO!!!!!! This must be the case for I am displeased with this turn of events, and I shall brook no disagreement on the matter.

remember this guy? and they called him Menasor

Still waiting for wave 1 to show up... all I've seen is the pre-Christmas Legends...

Going to give Target a check tomorrow.

wat

The first wave hasn’t even hit my local Walmarts yet. On the bright side, means I’m that much closer to completing Volcanicus/Dreadwing.

This is where Reprolabel saves lives.

And here I thought SG Roddy wouldn't show his mustachioed face til March! The Hunt is on....?
