Should this upset those who got the Pax/Shockwave 2-pack last year? This is basically a voyager figure representing the same character.
And yet another use of that Megatron mold! I almost bought the Megatron/Ratbat 2-pack, but I think I'll get this instead if I can.

The 2 pack looked kind of good. But then whoops, Prime has the massive backpack with 2 wheels. No thank you. Not worth the price. Last sdcc exclusive I bought was Universe Nemesis Prime (2008) Wow, I'm old lol

That Miner Megatron repaint is very bleh. The original with Reprolabels looks much, much better.
However, that heavy retool of Gamer Optimus is brilliant. A shame that the thighs are still hollow. Plus the back of the truck is sure to be a big void.
Overall, that's an easy skip.

The GE Optimus Prime the retool is good enough - not perfect (which the thighs got retooled as well), but good enough.
Megatron is just lazy. I like my Siege Megatron well enough (unless the upcoming SS86 Megatron blows me away, it'll probably stay as THE Megatron on my CHUG shelf), and I don't mind getting a Miner Megatron. But the mold is badly designed from the get-go with the loose ankle tilts and hip joints. And the successive reuses just made those figures even more of a floppy mess. So, naaaaaaaaaaaaah...
Might want the set if it's discounted, but I don't need it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - Siege Megatron mold again? Is there no escape from it? It was fine the first couple of times, but yeesh - what is it on now, eight? Ten?

Siege/ER Megatron think himself as a seeker.

Man Prime has had so many great figures in the last two years and Poor Megatrong gets… a bubblegum hammer.
That may be my favorite Pre Earth Prime mode so far though and it reinforces my opinion that I would love to see Prime go to a Box Truck style rather than a trailer so he can get the right look and still be a Voyager price point.

Always nice to see Death's Head get more ML love, and I guess they had to go with the look he had for most of his interactions with the greater Marvel Universe, but I'd LOVE to have his original green design in this scale for better TF storyline reenactments. Could be a nice, cheap remold someday.
Still getting this one, of course.

Going to try get both. Really like the way Prime turned out, Megatron is fine, and it'll be nice to have a Death's Head that can stand up to Transformers.

I think it's ten if not closer to twelve...
The SS86 version can't get here soon enough.
I like this OP figure, but I'm definitely passing until/unless it gets a solo release, and even then he'll be a "maybe".

I do have to wonder if this is a discarded Amazon exclusive since it's clearly a sequel to last year's sets.
Any idea who's on the wanted posted?

I know a lot of people are curious about SS86. I'm pretty sure it wont be any of these, especially being a Leader class. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Heavy HEAVY retool of the SS concept design BB Movie version (especially with hidden Gun Mode)

I have all of these.

I can't believe we have that many uses of the same mold(s) and not a single figure based on the original concept art/Marvel comics design. Maybe in studio series.

Oh man... I wasn't very interested at first because I was worried it would be too short... but now I'm super interested...
If anyone here is going, would you be willing to hook me up with these exclusives? I'd be willing to work out a deal if you're able to DM me.

I can't believe that Prime with all that extra tooling will only be available in some exclusive set. If I didn't know better I'd say it looks like a Generation Oneified version of RID 2015 Optimus Prime.

I wish they could have released these two as singles. I'm interested in Optimus but not that Megatron mold. However, I really do not like those WFC design thighs on Optimus. The set is an easy pass.

I'm the opposite. I'll gladly take that Megatron, but don't care for the Prime. But if I get him, Megatron will definitely get a fusion cannon in place of the drill.

WAY too expensive for what we basically already got.
