My personal beef with the Kingdom Tracks mold is the wings being attached to the arms. I tend to prefer figures where the wings can be posed separately from another part that can be posed (arms in most cases, legs in others). Plus, I think the paint used for the faux windshield looks too off, and the red flame section, while Sunbow accurate, just looks awful to me

I agree, the accuracy is to a fault in certain placed. Thst makes it kinda worse that they cheaped out on the extra paint apps in the legs, losing some accuracy there.

I just got email notifications from Hasbro Pulse letting me know that Waspinator and Shadow Panther are shipping earlier than expected! I should have them by next week. Nothing yet about shipping g out Tigatron early, though.

Just bought kingdom huffer last weekend great toy but i don't plan on using the split weapon in half for a storage trunk in his truck mode. Great Robot mode though, by far one of the best among many character new toy updates that have been created in the WFC Trilogy (No masterpiece inclusions)


My favorites (from the ones i own)

1) Core Class Rattrap (I love his personality in BW)
2) Siege voyager optimus prime
3) Kingdom Optimus Primal (By far the best one)
4) Kingdom Huffer
5) Bumblebee/Cliffjumper (This mold never came to Iceland)
6) Hound
7) Earthrise Starscream
Earthrise Arcee (She rarely gets toys)

Honorable Mentions: Core Class Megatron and Optimus. These are amazing pocket size figures. Megatron is a odd gunmetal silver though.

I have both the MP and Kingdom Road Rage, and I would say the only thing Kingdom did better was the backpack having a solid tab to plug into. the MP is not that good, but it is still better than the Kingdom mold.

For one, the Kingdom mold is squat, and unlike the MP, the legs will not stay together in any of her forms. Just is not good. And transformation is painful too down there. For another, the feet on the Kingdom mold don't look like they belong on the legs, they look so odd unless you have the legs at a harder A-stance.

Both molds are about even on the arms. MP has a better head in my opinion. And Kingdom won the backpack. So I still give it to the MP over the Kingdom one, but even then, that is low praise.

Personally, I would rank the weakest WFC figures I actually got as follows:

1) Chromia
2) Road Rage
3) Rhinox
4) Cyclonus
5) Megatron

Those are probably the only 5 I'd place down there too. The rest are actually better than weak. I never got Arcee

Question: which Megatron?

Any of them. I only got the Snow camo G2 one, but that mold wasn't that good, and ER did not look any better.

Speaking as someone doesn't have Road Rage or Rhinox yet, mine are:
1: Chromia
2: Arcee
3: Springer
4: Siege Datsun (ER one is a lot better)
5: Airazor


My Doubledealer was also pretty crap, but then I bought a clearly returned one at Walmart for like $10 so I knew what I was getting into.

For one, the Kingdom mold is squat,

Tracks is supposed to be a bit squat. The MP got his cartoon proportions all wrong by making him slim and lanky.

[sol magnus]

Thats not squat,man.

[Sabrblade]

Thats not squat,man.

It is when he's on the shorter side of the Autobot Cars. He wasn't a tall guy like Ironhide or Grapple.

Proportionally, the Kingdom figure is squatter than how he seemed on the show. He's not egregiously off, just ever so slightly.

I think Skids is off in a similar vein, but we'll see.

Any Chance Hasbro Officially announces Kingdom Wave 4 at Pulsecon Friday or is that wishful thinking. I got 40 bucks on my amazon account waiting for Tigatron to pre-order.

Gamestop has Waspy and Shadow Panther for $22.99 right now for those interested

Any Chance Hasbro Officially announces Kingdom Wave 4 at Pulsecon Friday or is that wishful thinking. It boggles the mind they still aren't up for pre-order at Target Walmart Gamestop etc. Just 3rd party scalpers on Amazon and BBTS

Check Macy's as they have been getting the deluxes. Others have reported seeing them at Walmart in store, and finally Target just in the past day or so. Pre orders sol out currently on Pulse except for Shadow Panther.

They're already up on Pulse, Hasbro probably isn't going to waste time announcing them. Not to mention Tigatron already went up on Amazon, he's just sold out now

A question to those of you who already have Waspinator. Do his bug legs and antennae seem like they would be easy to remove and replace, or are they secured in there very well?

Mixed, all of them are different connection types. The bug legs connected to his bot legs utilize mushroom pegs (mine seem rather secure in there, but I know mushroom pegs are the easiest to remove by design), while the bug legs on his bot arms are attached at the end of the pins forming his elbow joints. The antennae look like they clip through the bug head and definitely aren't designed to be pulled off/out, but it's also very difficult to get a look at that end of the antennae at all, so I could be inaccurate.

[Rodimus Prime]

Okay thanks. I really like this Waspinator figure, but for some reason the bug legs and antennae really bother me. He will most likely never be displayed in wasp mode, so I might remove those parts once I get mine.

I just transformed Rhinox. He's very interesting and way more fun than the T-30. Rear legs were intriguing at first, but I've seen way worse before. I could do everything without glancing at the instructions except for the weapon storage.

A solid voyager.

[Sentinel_Primal]

Lucked out while getting dog food and found Road Rage in store! Still not overly thrilled with the Tracks mold, but I do think it's better than I feared. Still hope they take another whack at Tracks in future and nail it, but for now, I think it's good enough

[Autobot N]

My Rhinox comes in tomorrow or Monday, what do y'all think about him

[william-james88]

He's a decent effort. But they really overcomplicate the legs bit. Also, they give him ears for some reason and the guns really do feel far too small for him. I do like how the lower jaw of the animal mode can be turned away to give the impression that his chest is the animal jaw deformed.

Waspinator arrived today, fundamentally he isn't that different from the Thrilling 30 Waspinator, parts of the transformation are almost exactly the same, to the point where it may have been worthwhile to just re-issue that older toy instead of making something completely new. That being said, I like the wasp mode on Kingdom Waspinator a lot more, the wasp's head and legs look much better, I love how the mandibles can open and close, and the inaccurate purple on the wings and eyes doesn't bother me. Like with the orange cockpits on the Earthrise coneheads, it may not be either show or original toy accurate, but it still looks nice. Purple and yellow are complimentary colours and the shade also looks good with green (I'm nerdy about colours, leave me be), so I'm fine with it. Waspinator is a very close second behind Blackarachnia for my favourite Deluxe from Kingdom.
I also got a shipping notice for Ravage today, so that'll be along within the next couple of days.

Actually, the purple eyes (in beast or robot mode) are accurate to the original cartoon. The wings, maybe no so much, but they do appear purplish in some shots, probably due to lighting effects or something.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

So I want to talk about this guy some more. I have been messing with him a lot ever since I got him, and the extra blast effects from Tricranius certainly helped balance him out. He is so much fun, both to swoosh around, to transform, and to mess with as a robot. He's just fun. A lot of fun.

And for that reason, I think Iaconus, for me, is my favorite toy from Kingdom

[Munkky]

Ravage arrived today, and he is nice. He looks good in a lot of different poses, I love the guns he comes with, and the head being on a ball joint and having a wide range of motion is a great touch. Granted, he's probably be better as a Tigatron retoll rather than a Cheetor one, because the skinny cheetah legs from Cheetor don't suit his panther mode. I've never owned a G1 Ravage so it's nice to have a version of that too.
