Took me a sec, but I got it! :lol:

Shame about Shatter. I was thinking about picking her up. I liked the idea of having her and Dropkick together in muscle car modes. Here's hoping Dropkick has his act together, and that maybe they'll do a few other Bee movie Cons.

Found the latest studio series finally, at Walmart. Canada was really behind on that WWII BB wave.

You guys still have Toys "R" Us. I think that's a fair trade-off. :lol:

Beyond the fact that she falls to pieces at any given moment, the arms don't lock into anything in vehicle mode? But, man, oh man, he knee-to-armpit kibble panels are awful, especially as she already has compromised thigh articulation;

Stay away from this figure, guess this makes scrapmetal the only good figure from the wave

I can agree with this. In Alt mode she is, and I think in alt mode she shall stay. We need a jet version of her now that is hopefully far better. Here's hoping muscle car Dropkick is good too, they both need a really good figure that they deserve

Well, she does a lot of clever things with her kibble for a car-former, and I feel like if the tolerances were swapped on her shoulder kibble with her shoulder joints, she'd be close to great; beyond that, she really needed a double hinged joint at the thigh (like generations arcee) instead of an incredibly compromised ball joint, if she had all that, I'd say it would fix her completely

Finally found the new wave of Studio Series deluxes. Shatter does look lackluster after seeing her, Cogman looks good(it's the first time actually seeing the mold for me) and Scrapmetal looks good too. Barricade has finally disappeared, but the ever so disappointing Crankcase is still there. No voyagers at my local Walmart, but I did find Rampage and SS38 at the next town's Walmart.

Well, you know what they say about death and taxes... that neither can hold a candle to the presence of that god-awful mold :lol:

What do you guys think the outside chance of a Devastator "titan" Boxset would be in 2020/21? I wonder if folks "late to the party" will get boned out of not being able to complete him. Alternatively.... I hope those of us that have started him, will be able to finish him.

I am 90% sure online retailers will just sell the whole team as an assortment like what they did with POTP Volcanicus. Hasbro could do an exclusive set with the whole team, and a redecoed Rampage in yellow and Devastator with a red face. Could be an exclusive similar to Throne of The Primes Primal, or SDCC Devastator.

It would also be cool if they replaced Scrapmetal with the third bulldozer in such a box set ;)^

I honestly highly doubt it. Considering the combined price is going to be $260, which is $100 more than any Titan we've gotten, I don't think they're gonna box him up.

But I do think towards the end of the year and beginning of next year, the currently out constructicons will be repackaged in later waves like Dropkick

Sorry for my incompetence, but Dropkick was repacked? Does that help explain his shelfwarming?

Yes, he was repacked with Shatter, Cogman, and Scrapmetal

Also, think about how big the box would be with 4 voyagers and 2 leaders; I do think it’d be cool to see a set of their repaints, as they had prominent repaints during that line, yellow rampage, yellow longhaul, green mixmaster, white and scarlet wheel thing whose name I forget. They could maybe do each one as an online exclusive that way you could get whichever figure you wanted duplicates of

The names you are looking for are Demolishor for the white excavator with red highlights, and Scavenger for the red excavator with white highlights.

Personally, with the other 2 substitutes we have for Devastator (Rampage instead of Skip-Jack, and Scrapmetal instead of bulldozer 3) I wouldn’t mind having Demolisher be Devastator’s torso. It would kinda be like the Constructicon clones in ROTF’s Egypt fight merged with the substitute/reserve members of the Constructicons to form their own Devastator, and that sounds awesome!

Do it now. There's no guarantee of a set, and if there were to be one its price would likely be enormous, dwarfing that of every Titan class figure thus far released.

Seconded! Get them now when they're at retail price before you end up having to buy the earlier releases at inflated prices on the secondary market. If you are banking on a box set (which I wouldn't), you can at least leave the single packed Constructicons in package for now and resell them later if your bet on a box set pays off.

I wouldn't even wait for redecos, nothing's has been hinted to that at all: no Skipjack, Demolishor, Payload...
