What am I supposed to be looking at?

It's a shame that The Japanese "Mega" Pretender Moulds are long gone and they cost a small fortune to buy now - I'd have quite liked them as they have nice robot heads instead of organic ones.

----

So hear is a Question is two uses of the mould enough reason to make Crossblades - and what is it with that Helicopter that they keep skipping it - and like wise the Autobot ones like Vroom. or the Pretender vehicles.

Heck Pretender Vehicle should really appeal to Hasbro they can just make an OK Legends class and slap it in a big empty vehicle shell and charge a crazy price for it.

------

It's a shame that there wasn't some overlap with Pretenders and Micromasters as those Pretender Vehicles would have made great Micromaster bases too.

if such a thing was made now you could have a Legends with a Targetmaster and then the vehicle that opens up like a Micromachine Playset - as well as doing the sit in a drive it thing.

This works really well in reverse with some of the Micromaster Playset - vehicles as they have more than enough cabin space for bigger figures in a couple of instances at least.

Oh and speaking of Full Tilt - won't he be visible on the chest in vehicle /chest plate mode on Trypticon in the leaked art work ?

Also his legs are placed in the reverse configuration.

Thank you Will. I had no idea why that picture was showing up

I think he's saying that Nautica might also work as a Scourge remold. The vehicle shape is similar.

Ah, better yet.

But I'm pretty sure that our sources that keep spoiling all this are saying that it is a Blurr retool, and they haven't really been wrong yet

I guess you bring that up to but I was talking about the legs in robot mode and the head placement in vehicle mode

I really don't understand anything you're saying here. Where's the pretender vehicle talk coming from? And it's not like Crossblades is skipped any more than a thousand other pretenders.

Crossblades would make a good Autobot match to Black Shadow is all as well as offer a ready mild remould option in blue.

--------

I had no particular reason to mention Pretender vehicles - other than that they are some Pretenders that might make some sense to do over the organic ones from the lines perspective they might fit in better in the next line or the end of this one. and that I just happen to like The Ultra Pretenders, Mega Pretenders and The Pretender Vehicles ; ad that I noticed the inner robots are not that much different in size to a modern legends class - and Botcon already realised that too.

(depending on the theme of the next line of course). also I was playing with my Micromasters yesterday and noticed how the playsets were kinda like some of the vehicle mode pretenders in size and general appearance.

Heh, I just found Blaster at retail for the first time today.

What is the consensus in the fandom so far on TR leader PM Prime? Good? Bad? Barely worth it?

I don't think it's bad but aside from the feet Japan's offering is much much better.





Why can't we get this too Hasbro?

I think some people prefer his legs that way

Aye those feet are a bit weird looking

Everyone aside from me seems to really like him (the Hasbro version)

@52 toys, how they got that picture of Trypticon's prototype...really great journalistic out scooping even Hb's official reveal....wtf?

It was Hasbro who revealed it at Cybertron con months ago. 52 toys is just the name of the site that ws there in shanghai to take pictures of the convention and presentation. Not a scoop, you just had to be there and anyone could have taken the pics.

Also, about Soundwve, how can 2 months possibly be called shelfwarming when a wave is supposed to last on shelves for at least 3 months before a reset at every quarter?! Thats not shelfwarming, not even close.

Shelfwarming as not moving. I asked the sale reps at TRU. Optimus TM and the rest didn't last 2 days and sold out. The stock I saw has barely moved according to the sales reps (not yet replaced their stock). So the sales reps must know something you don't?

Annnnnnnnnnnnd why just Trypticon's thigh and leg and not the whole shebang? Since it's their property anyway. Shanghai, 100% complete NYCC just the thigh?

Where are you seeing a 100% complete pic? They're teasing parts of him little by little and they'll reveal him completely at toy fair next year, same as they have for the last two titans. It would make zero sense to reveal him now when we have a full calender year before he hits retail.

That's the artwork from the mobile game Transformers Legends - the URL even says so. It's not artwork for TR Trypticon, they were just using it as a stand-in at the time.

Ah right


well....the news team maybe have the full pics.....but are not allowed to show them because of an embargo

Stuartmaximus wrote:Ah right

We don't.

Aye right! you would probably say that anyway!

the only saving grace to this....is the fact that if you DID have such material....someone somewhere would've leaked it online already

which only goes to serve the point that you may not have it

It's more than a leg that's for sure. That image more or less approximates his, Trypticon's battle station mode. What makes you sure it isn't complete already? Devs got revealed (not officially) in full with the blurry image of him in that German toy fair if I'm not mistaken.

Again I repeat, that being the case why just the thigh? Hb afraid the KOers will beat them to the punch?

If you can post chronologically the bits and pieces of Metroplex's reveal a few years ago the same way you are stating the reveal of Trypticon is undergoing (the Hb reveal specifically) then I'll shut my trap then.

That's not the image I mean. Thanks though. It's the blurry images with some of the TM vehicles interacting.

On the embargo, if there is one anyway, why not just state it. Wait for the official release or something.
