Sorry, I didn't get the context. It was up early in the Amazon app for me:

BTW have they shown the CnC hammer yet?

Check the accessory list, it does not say "piece of hammer". The Hammer you are building is made of cardboard, it is not an accessory.

This might mean that Springer, like Arcee, will get a Studio Series release, minus the cr@pple-damage paint?

Unwanted fluff for you, maybe. Fossilizers are the main draw for some.

I doubt it in those two packs as it's obviously the G1/G2 figs that are the main figures, with the fossilizers tacked-on.

Nah, the only ones I really want from the subline are the Fossilizers

Same, and I am seeing a "nice" split. "Nice" in terms that both figures and play patterns are liked by fans, but it sucks that in many parts it isn't the same segment of the fandom liking each two pack component.

O.Supremem you said that this is typical of hasbro and we say that it indeed was in Kingdom but what I find nuts is that they actually made good 2 packs in Earthrise, two packs which made sense. Like the two coneheads, ratchet and that medic nurse, prowl and ironhide. Those made perfect sense ..... and yet had their releases botched.

Bit confused here... So looking at the description
Amazon:
ASSEMBLE THE HAMMER: Each Wreck ‘N Rule Collection pack includes with a piece of the Wreckers hammer. Collect all 5 packs to assemble and display the hammer (each sold separately, subject to availability)

Hasbro Pulse:
ASSEMBLE THE HAMMER: Each Wreck ‘N Rule Collection pack includes with a piece of the Wreckers hammer. Collect all 5 packs to assemble and display the hammer (each sold separately, subject to availability)
EXCLUSIVE PACKAGING ART: Packaging features a piece of exclusive artwork. Collect all 5 Wreck ‘N Rule Collection packs to piece together the full scene (each sold separately, subject to availability)

Where are you seeing anything about the Hammer being Made of Cardboard? Looks like the accessories being listed are just the ones that came with the original figures. a CnC part might not be listed as an accessories.
Have they shown the Hammer somewhere?

The Hammer will be shown on Amazon momentarily, looks like it's in the marketing kit. It's human-sized, so it's gotta be cardboard.

Leakers on tfw2005 with a proven history of reliability have provided that information.

I found it under the Twin Twist listing

Maybe it's not what people wanted, but it's a much nicer pack-in than the Earthrise star charts and Galactic Odyssey info cards. Those were nicely done, I don't want to knock the marketing, but they had even less value than this hammer.

Don't look at yhe written description, it won't help. You had to look at the product description on Hasbro's site where they list accessories. If this was an actual accessory, it would have been in the list if accessories, but it wasn't because its not an actual accessory (same as the teletran 1 pieces)

Yeah, that was unfortunate. I think the blame for that is more on Amazon, they should re release those and make it right. But you did remind me... Galactic Odyssey...had pretty good themes, well the all micromaster, and 2 Modulator parts at least . Having both Modulators in one set meant it was the only one I felt the need to purchase.

Our final Wreck ‘n Rule Collection reveal is here: the loose cannon, Diaclone Universe Twin Twist! Nothing gives Twin Twist more joy than shredding his enemies into scrap metal. He can be uncontrollable at times, but he’s proven his worth as a member of the Wreckers.
The full team has been revealed! Every Wreck ‘N Rule Collection pack is available for pre-order NOW on Amazon.com. Check out the link to pre-order here: https://go.hasb.ro/3MbN85W
The Wreck ‘N Rule Collection includes 5 packs, featuring some of the toughest Wreckers across the generations. Each pack comes with a piece of the Wreckers hammer and exclusive packaging art. Collect all 5 packs to assemble the hammer display piece (shown below) and piece together the full packaging art scene.

More info for you:

- Hasbro designer Mark Maher has confirmed that Bulkhead is in AOE Hound colours
- The hammer accessory that comes with Bulkhead is indeed Breakdown's and Bulkhead keeps it as a trophy of his victory in a fight against him.
- He has more figures planned in the Wreck N Rule line but we'll see how well these do before more get made
- Combining the jaw of the mastodon and the chest of the spinosaurus, you can make a new combiner head for a fossilizer, image below.
- The colour scheme used for Masterdominus is meant to work well with the Springer toy deco.

He has more figures planned as in more wreckers or more bulkheads? Sorry if dumb question lol

Razorbeast88 wrote:He has more figures planned as in more wreckers or more bulkheads? Sorry if dumb question lol

More wreckers. I'd assume TopSpin in the least.

So instead of a BAF like Marvel does they're going with BAA(Build An Accessory) but in expensive two packs requiring you to buy several! Genius lol

Not doing topspin would be a big middle finger for a lot of people id assume haha
Here's to crossing fingers for a wreckers tigatron! And spider arcee, f it. Prime version wheeljack. Packrat. Apelinq, Primal Prime. Id say roadbuster, racknruin and whirl but that would mean new molds as opposed to repaints and remolds of existing figures. Sandstorm?

But it's not even am accessory, it's a papercraft dusplay with a base. Like the throne piece in Theone of the Primes.

Yeah, a lot of people are overlooking the word "display" in the description of the Wreckers hammer.

Yeah, and as a Marvel Legends X-Men collector, BAFs are THE WORST. This is like, neat bonus if you happen to buy them all, maybe a friend can mail you a part if you need.

BAF is, hope you want to drop $200 and get two guys you already have and this jerk no one likes, otherwise you can order the arm off eBay for more than the original figure.

This is fine.

Well that was fast lmao. Primevsprime just released a review of camo bulkhead

Having seen the review im a little more torn now as to which version I should get. The Wrecker Bulkhead has a better looking alt mode, plus cool hammer and wrecker insignia. But prime bulkhead seems to have a better robot mode with the paint on the shoulders and knees

Well, welcome to the minority, I suppose?

Even more surprising he actually had the packaging. Hopefully that means we may see these before November.

I don't think we'd need new molds. We still have T30 versions of Whirl and Roadbuster that to my knowledge, have never been reused outside their Japanese counterparts (and their weird Cloud incarnations). Rack'n'Ruin might be the only one who'd need a new mold.

Idk much about t30 whirl but id heard that t30 roadbusters legs get really loose. Id hope those molds would get the ss86 arcee treatment but that might be too much to ask

Last time I checked, both of those were still available at reasonable prices on eBay. If we're going to see them again, I hope we get something new instead of a slight update to a toy from an earlier decade.

Id prefer something new as well, for roadbuster, whirl, and sandstorm. And it'd be nice for racknruin to get an update

Pre ordered all of them. These look cool. Love the decos!
