We just have one render so far, we can see that most of the internals look different, but it does reuse the outer shell components from Crowbar. The molding looks a little flat in this picture, so I'm really interested in seeing more soon!
What a wild way to find out about one of the last few bots from the first 3 movies getting a figure, that was out of nowhere!

Q: Transformers boxes, can they go full closed box like other Hasbro lines?
A: Unlike Marvel and Star Wars, the Transformers brand skews younger, so seeing the robot inside does bring in more sales than a closed box with the image of the character. Transformers is not as character focused line like Marvel, it isn’t the character itself that sells the toys, it’s how the bot looks. There have been studies done and open windows are best for their target audience of 8 year olds seeing the robots on shelves. The leader class toys are higher priced and thus not likely an impulse purchase by parents, so they can look more like a toy aimed at collectors. Looking into all different boxing options, but right now open box for lower priced toys is the best for Transformers brand.

If you sell a deluxe figure at voyager price, and justify it merely by “parts count”, you wind up with spectacles like this. They can’t disguise how dinky the figure is, stuffed into a box that’s obviously too large for it. People got the same sense of insult to the intelligence when opening the box for “leader” Blitzwing and seeing all the empty space. At least with Blitzwing, it was a closed box and Hasbro could fool customers more easily. It’s like buying a bag of chips and finding it half empty when you open it, having been “filled” with air. And the only compensation you get for the rip off is a disclaimer on the bag reading: “contents may have settled during shipping”.

Nitrogen, Oxygen would cause the chips to rot in the bag.

Which is why I don't think chip bags and TF boxes are a good analogy.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And all chip bags already come half empty.
Those who are genuinely serious when they complain about that grinds my gears. Not only the nitrogen is a conservative, it also prevent the chips to be utterly CRUSHED inside the bag. A simple fact too many people ignore or just can't think about.

Most cereal boxes are flimsy. They would still get crushed if most things heavier than other cereal boxes get stacked on them. Though the box does provide a small measure of additional protection. Not much though.o.supreme wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And all chip bags already come half empty.

What about cereal in a box? By coincidence I just opened a new box this morning. We usually pour the contents into hard plastic containers that keep it fresh, but no joke,the bag was half empty.

Or maybe they don't know? It wasn't THAT long ago I learned about nitrogen in the bags.

I was today years old when I learnt it.
