That,s exactly how I feel. Don,t even care about shatterred glass but it looks like a cool toy with this new deco.
So much for all the complaints about Rodimus being overpriced.

That one took me a second to understand, but I think he just meant the AIR Lock connector that's there like Prime's trailer. If it's something else though, then that'd be interesting to see
I'm sure it's that. just means the trailer has the same kind of port that can attach to Omega Supreme.

£35 + postage for the fossiliser with blast effects is crazy

My breakdown for the new reveals, working my way down in size:
Automorph Optimus: No. Just no. Transformation is my job, not the toy's. I'm a union man, I oppose the loss of jobs in the face of automation in the workforce, and I oppose it in my hobby. Especially for that pricetag. Yeesh. Not getting.
Ark: Just about the only bad thing I have to say is those missing side panels, the rest looks amazing; especially charmed by the robot design. Preordered.
Rodimus: Almost every feature of the toy we've already seen and discussed except the new flame effect and the storage tray. Figure looks good overall, and I have the overwhelming urge to see how many micromasters I can clowncar into the storage tray and trailer bay. Preordered.
Galvatron: At least the renders have confirmed the shoulder is misassembled, with the inner track piece upside down from where it should be, causing the funkiness. Otherwise a great figure. Preordered.
Rhinox: Rhinox' green with gold trim has always been offputting to me. I want to see a video review showcasing the transformation, especially the leg transformation, before I make a final decision. Holding off for now.
Tricranius: fossilizerfossilizergimmegimmegimme. preordered.
Wingfinger: fossilizerfossilizergimmegimmegimme. preordered.
Tracks: Mold looks okay, but no particular attachment to the character. Already know I'm getting Road Rage, no need to double dip. Not preordered.
Scorponok: Having no care whatsoever about show accuracy so long as the toy is good, the color scheme is offputting, but not enough to outweigh how cool the altmode molding is. Preordered.
SG Blurr: Only problem I had with 86 blurr was the face. This has a better one. Preordered.
Soundwave: Decent figure, never really cared for the altmodes that required blatant mass displacement like soundwave or megatron. Well executed for the size, just not my cup of tea. Not getting.
Dracodon: fossilizerfossilizergimmegimmegimme. Curse you hasbro for intermittently discontinuing preorder support for the $10 price point. Will check the other e-tailers at 5, otherwise will try to track down. Wantlist.

Yeah, I remember hearing that was a thing...and then it seemingly only lasted for one wave, because Wave 2 Kingdom Deluxes, Selects Deep Cover & Transmutate, and the most recent Studio Series Deluxes went up everywhere at normal Deluxe price, and yet now we're back to this again. If they're gonna increase the prices for seemingly no reason, at least be consistent about it.

Loving Rhinox and Tracks. The new Soundwave isn't half bad either.

Basically Pulse tried, but the other retailers wouldn't follow suit and Pulse ended up with a bunch of pre-order cancellation from wave 1. This looks like it might be their next attempt. Which is why I'm pre-ordering from Amazon. Amazon played along with Pulse initially for wave 1, but with their price match policy, as soon as Walmart, Target or Gamestop show them for a lower price, Amazon followed suit.

Galvatron is out of stock... Ark is back up but the date is now December instead of September.

The Deluxe Fossilizers continue to be my favorite thing about this line. Also planning to get Rhinox, and potentially the Ark if I can swallow the pricetag and figure out where to put it. None of the rest of it looks bad, but I have no interest.

Just realised this: Tricranius, the Maximal version of Ractonite, who is a Predacon... Is in G1 Predacon colors!

Tricranius looks great. THAT'S how all the Fossilizers should have been fun the beginning (Shame that the purple one is DOA by being bundled with Megatron).
Tracks is going to need some repros on his bonnet. Why is it that Hasbro usually falls short in the paint/decals department?

That's odd... the Ark is already sold out on Pulse? They must have had a very small quantity initially, or perhaps a glitch on the site? Unlike other sold out items, it doesn't show until moving into my cart, oh well, Amazon works. I got the one Pulse exclusive thing I wanted, (The blast effect with Tricranius) I can get the rest by other means.

Thankfully got my pre-order in for Galvatron. Despite my issues with the buff nature of this release, I do see it as a vast improvement over the Titan master gimmick of the last one. Honestly, that gimmick wasn't the worst part of that, it was just the wacky "crown" face mask that swung out from the chest that I found that I disliked the most.

I havent pre-ordered anything yet because I'm not too worried about availability until the time comes but I'm wondering if I should pre-order tricranius now
Did the centurion drone pack run out quick?

Pre ordered Rhinox, Wingfinger, and Autonomous Maximus at BBTS. Thought about getting Lava Ractonite, but decided not to since I don't want to pay an extra $10 for blast effects I'm not gonna use

Yes, Order it now, you will not find it any cheaper and the drone sets ran out really quick, and only came back in stock once, which also sold out quick I believe.
Edit: also Pulse exclusive, so you won't find it anywhere else at regular retail price.

I got my pre-order for the Ark from BBTS -- as long as they are only asking MSRP, it's all good.

So, for anyone who wants a faction solid Fossilzer Combiner:
Maximal: Transmutate, Tricranius, & Wingfinger
Predacon: Paleotrex, Ractonite & (*hoping for a Predacon Wingfinger repaint)
Skelivore currently stands alone, unless a 3rd use of the other fossilizers ever happens. If not, I'll creatively try to add him to the Predacon Combiner.

I think you're forgetting how his car mode looked in the cartoon:
