For those interested, Amazon has Springer coming July 15th while Red Alert and Thundercracker are set for August.

Here's a look at the Sports Car patrol for those interested

Honestly I'm just really bugged by 'Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime' lacking the Cybetron/Galaxy Force head in his smaller form. Yeah, I get this is a GEEWUN line and all that but with the Voyager being clearly the 'main' Optimus of that line would it have killed Hasbro to give us the Primal-styled 'open mouthplate' look for the smaller to better complete look, even taking into account the Siege figure has a different transformation.

It would have made a world of difference I think.

I agree that that is one thing he sorely needed. He's fantastic, but that would have been an extra layer of ultra sweet icing

Beside, he would have stilled looked like Optimus Prime at a glance even without that G1 head, really.

I feel this comparison was needed

CHUG Vector Prime when, Hasbro?!

[Nathaniel Prime]

"Our World's are in Danger!"

Oh, yesssssssssssssss

[Skritz]

Ah, I love this theme song, and I never even grew up with the show, nor have I seen it

Never, there is only one mold we will ever need.

What's even more upsetting is the fact that they didn't even go full G1 with the head since it still has the yellow eyes. If they'd gone full G1 with the blue eyes, then fine. Whatever. But the yellow eyes are such a tease

No way man. Rip those electronics out and give more articulation to the torso!

And possibly make the sword out of a different material. The rubber does not hold up well in the tropics...

Yellow eyes are a mix of visual consistency with the super mode+homage to the Diaclone/G1 toy coloring.

This.

the Vector Prime mold is good, but it can definitely have some improvements in articulation, swords, and maybe wing size too, they are a bit small and bad material.

Chuck's Reviews Transformers Siege Red Alert

Who pronounces it May-ers? Everyone in the midwest says My-ers

I wish that was me being humorous but no....anyone order breakfast because I’ve got egg aaaaall over m’face. Humble pie for desert.
Man I seriously tried so hard to get it right and I brain farted.

Anyone been to Wal-Mert or Tairget lately

It's all good. For a bit I was wondering if it was an in-joke that I wasn't aware of.

So this reminds of Siege now. How many pronunciations for Impactor are there.

So, I just watched Chuck's review of Refraktor/Reflector and at the end he mentioned that on Hasbro's site, when you use the code from his box, you see the three Reflectors with additional parts for a flashbulb and Cybertronian text. I hate being skeptical, but seeing as a gift set of Reflector would be nice to see and potentially get instead of trying to hunt down 3 at retail, can anyone verify/translate the text?

What’s the box code?

It just says "Microx M" which is a reference to his original microman toy. Its just a fun easter egg, I wouldnt take it to mean anything else. And the pic is just an artist's take on the camera mode, I wouldn't make more of it than that.



Hasbro is releasing two simultaneous case assortments of wave 3 right now, so getting three reflectors shouldn't be the toughest thing.

Any guesses on those extra parts?

The flash cube and whatever's covering... Spectro (the right side) may have been planned, but dropped later in development. If so, I'm happy the designers at least considered the cube: no camera's complete without it.

In before "3P" accessory talk.

yes, I wrote it: artist's take on the camera mode. That looks a lot like the artist renders on toys we have seen before. It's the first thing that is done and then its given to the Hasbro team to use as a base for a toy. Lots of changes may happen in between for functionality's sake, hence why they don't look exactly alike.

Ah alright. Was just vaguely hoping that if a boxset did come to pass that it'd be in toy accurate decos just to help make each figure unique. Oh well

It's as likely now as it was before the pic existed.
