Scale has gone out the window and dropped off a cliff but its a nice looking set. Not so sure on the reuse of TR sharkticon but 8f 8t has helped keep price of the set down then that is cool. Don't think I'll be buying it if its around the £70 mark tho as I'd just be wanting the allicon and the judge redeco.
Hopefully Super7 does a retro action Kranix figure even if it would still be on the small side and a tentacle quint.

Goddam spellcheck

Okay it's all been fixed, and price has been added in.

...see, this was what I was looking for when I mentioned Hasbro could surprise us (even though there was a leak for a Quintesson set, but whatever).

That Bailiff is actually a pretty extensive retool: new head, new weapon that looks like it splits in two, new shoulders, and new bot mode chest. That looks really good, I think I like him better than the retail Alicon, it's a shame he comes packaged with $50 of toys I don't want.

Now if we could get a set like this but with Mercenary repaints/retools....

There is that new Sharkticon coming from 86 Studio Series...

If I had the space, I'd get this set, the Bailiff looks great and my Sharkticon would get a friend to fight for the scraps of Kranix

an old C3PO figure with removable limbs might work just as well

Very true, I think I lost pieces of my brothers c3po's

oh sweet baby primus I need this in my life lol.

So now we can add Kranix, the Bailiff, and the Prosecutor to the list of G1 characters who have finally gotten figures. Nice.

That is superb! Only thing to wrap it up for Quints would be the fella who pulls the lever to drop em.

After I've already purchased the first Quintesson, They do this!
Slightly Better paint apps, A Prosecutor, That awesome backdrop..KRANIX!!
ARGHH!
I've been Duped! Bamboozled! I've been smeckledorfed!!
That still isn't going to stop me from buying it though, Oh no..

Good thing there exists more than one Quintesson judge.

What's up with these colors? Are they trying to mimic a worn out VHS or something?


Overall this is a really cool idea for a set, but I think I'll wind up passing. It feels like it's SO CLOSE to something I'd love... but just far enough away that I'll never be happy with it in-hand. The scale's weird, the colors are wonky, Kranix is unpainted, and I'm guessing the cardboard set won't look cool for long on a shelf.

Yeah, Thats how I'm gonna rationalize it.

Some of us are even wanting to get five, one for each face.

Please for the love of Primus don't give me any ideas..

Any rumors of a new Galvatron figure for this line? After seeing this, it feels like a crime not too!

Hello new want.

And much better value for money to me than Maverick.

A metric ton of speculation based on things like him showing up on box art and the fact that we're getting ER Cyclonus, HasLab Unicron, and a bunch of other movie characters, but nothing concrete yet. I have a feeling he'll be part of the Studio Series line or the last wave of ER.

A new Galvatron would only further enhance the nature of Kingdom being a cross between Beast Wars and Time Wars, so let's hope so.

Thanks for that!

Note that the guy who originally leaked all of the Kingdom rumors has said for us to not expect any Kingdom reveals in tomorrow's presentation.

Yup, this is the proper scale but I'm still gonna get that new set for the courtroom and Sharkticon pit.

The prosecutor is the perfect size to get flattened by the PotP Dinobots breaking the door down

Yeah, it's the judge that's huge, but it probably needed to be in order to have enough mass to accomodate both a full transformation and the face-changing gimmick.

In that case I feel like we need two Galvatrons for obvious recolor purposes. I'd be more than happy with a purple one now and a gray one in Kingdom with a crazy face and Green Matrix at retail.
