Mine was ordered back on October 30 and still no word from them. I'm assuming it will get auto cancelled at some point, just curious if anyone else is stuck in limbo like me.
Well sweet, out of nowhere mine shipped today and will be here Friday.

Yes, it will be G1 themed. My prediction is Primus

All of them have been, so far.

Okay but wouldn't Primus essentially be similar to Unicron in terms of size being that he transforms into Cybertron? I'm not familiar with the character all that much, only that a brief skim. Would there be other forms of him based on select media they could go with that isn't planetary?
I can't say I'd be all the interested not having any connection to the character, it does make me regret missing Unicron even more though as time goes by.

Other than Planet Cybertron, he's mainly appeared as a golden energy being resembling Rodimus Prime.
But I can't see this form requiring a HasLab release, since all it would take is a simple redeco of Commander class Rodimus Prime from Kingdom.

Yeah, I agree that a HasLab isn't needed for it. But if they wanted to do that as a simple Pulse Exclusive or something I'd be keen for that particular Rodimus repaint! Looks like an easy thing to do.

It's baffling that they haven't done it yet, considering the two bottommost pics I shared are from the Generations Selects manga that ran from 2019 to 2021, and was all about that particular design of Primus. Yet, the Kingdom Rodimus mold hasn't been touched since its initial release.

Is SS86 Fenzy (Red) getting a re-release this year? I think I hear that is the case.
I lost mine and I don't want to pay the eBay "tax". I already had to import it from Japan because the initial distribution was crap.

I'd be surprised if he isn't still shipping to stores being part of the last 2023 wave. I haven't even seen that wave in stores yet (though Pulse is currently shipping 2024 Core wave 1).

Yeah, as far as I'm aware the only place that actually had it in stock for ordering was Pulse, everywhere else was preorder and I've yet to see it anywhere physically.

I know Amazon shipped already just before Christmas, that's how I got mine.

I wonder if we'll be getting any SS-86 Magnus repaints. Delta Magnus and SG Magnus should be a given, right? And if they're online exclusives then them being CC shouldn't matter.

There's already a precedent with SG Jetfire. So they could do the same as they already did with Kingdom Magnus and repaint SS86 Magnus in Delta/SG Magnus colors with a bonus alternative evil head and swords.

I'd rather have a Shining Kingdom Magnus so I can have a yellow Prime. Can't get that from the CC.

So Magnus has hit stores but like so many others before him the distribution falls short?

Depends on who you ask. The consensus is that brick and mortar don't stock Commander anymore, but then there's random in store sightings.

The only stores I ever see stock Commander class toys are comic/hobby/collector stores. Nothing at mass retail.

SS-86 Megatron Speculation
Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2024 1:47 pm
by Overcracker
So knowing we are getting a leader class Megatron for SS-86 what exactly are we expecting to get assuming its not just an Earthrise Megs in more movie accurate color and extra accessories.
Almost certainly: 1. Must at least scale with the also coming Commander Class Prime. 2. Will be a tank of some kind.
Things he should have: 1. Prime Killing gun. 2.Blast effects for fusion cannon and prime killing gun? 3. Damaged chest and face options?
Things it would be nice if he came with but may not come with or will almost certainly not come with. 1. Energy Sowrd 2. Gun stock, silencer and base to man. (not likely nut one can dream) 3. Small gun version that SS-86 Starscream can hold. (Likely the one from the Centurion weapons pack) 4. Non mentioned hidden gun mode it can be transformed into? would any one want this?
