Still no Cosmos at several roundtrip stop, meanwhile plenty of the others just laying about...
Looks like stores got 2-3 cases each based on the counts of each one if there indeed were 2X on Blur etc.

Can anyone actually translate that comic?

Whoa sorry for my ignorance on not knowing Burn Out's Cybertronian genderfication and the small All Spark it may have caused! :-P

But I still stand by on my 2 cents with no sense. :VEHI:

A translation for it is being worked on, yes. In due time.

It's the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ line.

Lawl. But we already have one of those with Buzzworthy Bumblebee, and even Legacy. Basically every Transformers line (save for maybe Studio Series) currently going seems kinda “lol idk.” It’s weird to me as someone who only started collecting again during the War for Cybertron Trilogy.

OK, there's canon, fanon, and Authorial Intent.

I sense you are called by the matrix. From here on, you will be dubbed "Nitronimus Prime."

I have an even better name: Nitro Convoy.

Crap on Convoy. Not so Prime.

Does anyone else's Override have an odd tilt to its robot mode head? Mine's head is stuck permanently tilting to the right. Rotating the head doesn't help, and tilting it back upright just does not work.

Mine probably will show up tomorrow, so I'll let you know.

Doesn't seem to have it on mine.

also, I am going to call her Override, but as a matrix bearer, she would be Nitro Convoy.

Could be a manufacturing error. My knock off g1 vortex has a pin through the head, restricting the articulation. Maybe some flunky intern at the factory glued the head on. Who knows.

Apologies for the length.

Never apologize for length, ever!

So I initially had most of Velocitron POd from Hasbro Pulse but switched to Walmart.com figuring Walmart would get their own line in sooner, nope. I've now gotten all the deluxe and voyager figures from Hasbro Pulse, the only exceptions being Cosmos, for reasons, and Scourge which has been delayed to October. I'd love to know why Walmart pushed things back, to drive foot traffic into stores maybe?

Could very well be that. They seem to be restocking the deluxes and Scourge fairly regularly around here. I canceled my Pulse Scourge (as I mentioned) but I would have had it by now if I hadn't. If you're in the continental US I can get you one if you feel the need.

I don't know if I would call a few thousand people across a few thousand stores "driving traffic". They'd be lucky if it gets one extra person into each of their stores if they were really pulling such a ploy. It's just a matter of the web warehouse being slower than the B&M warehouse. Sometimes it's the other way around, a lot of us got our Beast Wars reissue Terrorsaur a few weeks before they showed up in any stores.

I've seen Scourge stocked in my local store twice now. Also the moment I saw the "apologies for the length" I knew Chuck would be the first to reply, you're getting predictable my friend. :lol:

Finally saw RiD Scourge in store today. I wasn't aware the item attached to the UPC code called this "Black Convoy"... kind of cool...

Still no Cosmos or Clampdown sightings, but honestly, I don't expect to see them.
