I think they kind of dropped the ball on the Sharkticon repaint for the Pit of Judgement set. It's not very accurate to anything, not the original toy, and not the movie or cartoon character models either.

I think they said it was based on an early color scheme by Floro Dery.

Meh. I'm not interested in prototype color schemes. I want accuracy. That's what War for Cybertron Trilogy and Studio Series are supposed to be all about.

I like the set for the Bailif and to have a variant Quintesson, but as repaints themselves I think both could have been better.

I'm not sure why they felt painting the lower jaws on the Quints was a great idea. I don't get the blue for the Sharkticon either. I can't find anything to reference that.

Isn't Gnaw coming in Studio Series? I'd rather have a different design in this set since the other decoes in the set are also unique.

I think I got all 5 faces lined up between them Funny enough, I think I prefer the Cyberverse Quint more than the Earthrise one still. The faces have more personality to them,







Base mode


This is a pretty great set overall. I am glad I jumped on it. The Bailiff, Prosecutor, and Kranix are my favorite parts

Just got my Drone/weapons pack today. So what did I learn? I learned that Selects packaging could be shrunk on deluxes to be more efficient.

Scorponok rocks, probably the best figure from the line, and easily the best titan

[chuckdawg1999]

Kinda funny, my order of three Hasbro stands shipped out and was delivered before the Pulse Con exclusives I ordered earlier. Eh well, what are ya going to do?

Scorponok rocks, probably the best figure from the line, and easily the best titan

While I don't disagree that he rocks, I think Sky Lynx and Doubledealer are better than Scorp and I still like Omega Supreme more Titan wise. Sky Lynx has so much more going on to me, and he is loads of fun to mess around with and put into any of his modes, and Doubledealer is just such a fun figure for me that is also loaded with play and display options. Scorp is just more straightforward than them, not quite as many options and stuff.

And I think Omega is still the better Titan because he feels more solid and his base mode is ridiculously fun. Scorp's base mode doesn't really do anything for me, but the Scorpion mode is really nice, and robot mode is awesome. But i also feel like his arms and claws don't quite move the way I would like them to, and compared to Omega the transformation is not as involved. I dig transforming Omega, there's stuff to do there that makes sense and makes a killer rocket base

Omega Supreme and Skylinx go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

Base modes don't do anything for me, so the fact that he has an actual alt mode which is fun and awesome puts him above omega for me, although I will admit omega has the best base mode easy

Well we were told that the Earthrise Commander would go well with Omega guess they weren't wrong!

Especially for the base modes. Once I'm at home, I'll share a picture.

[blackeyedprime]

Omega suffers from having a base worse than the original figure, Scorponoks kind of balances out with the chompy head pit over elevators that didsnt do much on the original. Omega might be more complete than scorpy but the tracks still need expanding for my liking.

Skylynx is probably superior to both and likely deserves the hall of fame toy being complete out of the box, just wish the inside of his shuttle did something other than opening up to reveal gold paint.

Doubledealers too small for my liking especially the drivers cab in vehicle mode, hoping for an oversized one and then a mod to store a titan master for his power master.

[M. Spector]

Is DD really as small as people are saying?? The one time I seen him on store shelves it seemed to be a pretty chonky toy, reminiscent on first glance of old Leader class size! I must be trippin

He's more or less the same size as the other leader class figures of the line. Here's a pic I took with his fellow leader class figures, with TR Overlord and Sky Shadow behind them.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Fun fact: the Prosecutor has a 5mm compatible head.

And the Bailiff is awesome. Kranix Krunch!

Still haven’t gotten a shipping update for my Quintessons and Cobra Commander from Pulse... finally decided to email their customer support and ask what’s up. This is the second time I’ve had to do this to ask what’s up, the first being the Centurion set (which itself took over a week to finally get a shipping notification, and I feel like it’s only because I asked about it).

[AcademyofDrX]

Or you're just impatient. They have an all-caps notice plastered all over the website: "PLEASE NOTE, SHIPPING TIME MAY BE DELAYED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING."

I mean, do what you gotta do, but I'll get my toys when they send them to me. I still have dozens of other figures to play with until then.

I've been waiting for toys for the Sharkticon pit scene for over thirty years, I can wait another week or two.

Perhaps. Part of my problem is I’m military, and in a couple weeks I’m scheduled to go out to the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California to suffer in the Mojave Desert for about a month. I’m afraid of having things being stolen from me when delivered to me while I’m out in the field (it’s already happened once earlier this year with the Marvel Legends MCU WW2 Cap/Peggy set). Just trying to get things squared away before I become unavailable for a month.

Normally I'd agree with you about being able to wait but if they are gonna charge my card then they damn well should email me promplty with a shipping notice. That is just good customer service and everyone but Pulse is doing it. Having to go into my orders and scrounge around to see what they charged me for is bullshit.

Pulse is always a bit of a mess after a convention with exclusives. I'm in the same boat, ordered the second it went live for Premium members and still haven't gotten a shipping notice, at least not from Pulse. I have FedEx delivery manager, I would recommend signing up for it if you don't already have it. I usually hear from them before Pulse on many of my orders.

I did fill out their customer service request as you were thinking of, and within a half hour I saw my order's status go to fulfilled and had a tracking number. I head from Fedex about an hour ago, I'll have mine on Monday. Still no word from Hasbro yet, but I'm guessing it will in my inbox by tomorrow morning. I've had similar experiences in the past mostly around big reveals and drops for multiple brands like this, just part of the deal.

I also ordered my Pit right as it went live, and I also ordered a couple other in stock things during Pulsecon, with varying results. 2 of the things arrived Tuesday without a shipping notice (and still no shipping notice email, they're just skipping that one) and then I got the pit shipping email 24 hours before it showed (but I do live only 2 and a half hours from distribution).

Pulse has been weird with me the entire time I've had premium and it's been active. It usually takes close to a week almost without fail after I order something for it to ship, though the shipping is fast.

I do also agree that the way Pulse organizes orders is total and utter BS. It is not user friendly in the slightest, it's way too damn hard to navigate and easily pick out a specific order. It's why I started a speadsheet of my pre-orders, it's a lot less of a headache

[aronjlove]

So Amazon was smoking dope when they sent out those emails about Fasttrack and the Paradron Medics? I had to approve delays to both orders today which put them back to practicall their original date.

Yep, Amazon being a tease. Fastrack is now next Friday, Runamuk doesn't have a date and Ratchet/Paradon Medic is back to November.
