Slammer is pretty cool. The alt mode looks good and the robot mode looks pretty good too, except the feet and hands

Less exciting than the Slammer news, but Red Alert is back up at Pulse for anyone who missed him originally.

I posted e in the steal of a deal thread, since the restock was from multiple lines, and we don't have a Hasbro Pulse general thread that I am aware of.

Not much point in the stolen toy slammer review if he doesn't know how it transforms into tower mode/connectivity with metroplex

News Credits: 1350 · Fri Sep 17, 2021 12:54 pm

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, Quantum Surge and Razorbeast88 have alerted us to a new PrimeVsPrime review. His subject of choice this time, Transformers Kingdom Deluxe Class Slammer!

Originally slated for a Wave 4 release, this anticipated figure has not shown up with other Wave 4 releases like Waspinator. Fans were also worried when the figure was first rumoured that he'd be a redeco/retool of Deluxe Class Warpath who came out earlier on in Kingdom's time on the shelves.

It's also been teased that Slammer can play a role in combining with Thrilling 30 Titan Class Metroplex.

Check out the review below!

What do you think of Slammer? Looking forward to Metroplex finally getting the last of his friends?

Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Anyways, I do like the look of Slammer though the miss-matched white plastic reminds me of Earthrise Sunstreaker.

Fri Sep 17, 2021 2:53 pm

All this stuff is all well and good... but has ANYONE heard any news of Tigatron sighted in retail? I was hoping since Waspinator has started appearing, that would mean Big Cat's not far behind.

Transformable 3D printed feet for Kingdom Core Soundwave.
Expensive, but a must.

Now, we need a KO company to oversize the whole thing and sell it for pennies.

We don't need either of these things. It's perfectly fine for a $10 toy, and the Netflix Soundwave is better than an oversized version of the Core class figure it inspired.

(For anyone who doesn't have the Netflix Soundwave, I'm sorry.)

I disagree. More choice is always better. My point stands.

I don't like N. Soundwave because the tapedeck mode only works on the front. Turn it around and it's a mess. I much prefer the Siege version with the arm attachment upgrade kit. The tapedeck fanmode works perfect on all angles and he still keep his spaceship mode.
Plus having the G1, MP, and TR leader, I have enough "true" tapedecks. But the Core one is unique enough to get though. Now I wish for another upgrade that will give us the remaining cassettes. Even as non-transformable plastics chips.

Agreed. Drives me crazy when people go asking for upscaled things as if they’re gonna be just as great as a voyager/leader size. Like people who wish Hasbro would’ve used the core mold of Starscream upscaled for the voyager instead of what we got. They’re only good for their size, and they’re only good for $10.

Besides, Netflix Soundwave is already rumored to be getting rereleased in Legacy.

That would be good. It would take a Leader spot, but that would only be while waiting for the newer stuff to be made.

Too bad it won't be possible for Netflix Bug Bee, as proven with the Worlds Collide pack.

Netflix Soundwave was a Voyager, the "Leader" price was because of the extra Ravage and Laserbeak, who will be more than likely separate. As for Bug Bee... until we see the SS Bug Bee again.

That I know. That's why I said "leader". Unless Micromasters are still a thing in Legacy, I don't think the figures would be sold separately.

Core 2-pack, price is roughly the same

And I need to get this off my chest: if an accessory costs more than the original item (looking at you, Sega CD), then it's not worth it.

Sideswipe and SW II just arrived. Interestingly enough thye came in a Hasbro cardboard box which had the retail box inside.

I guess these two packs get special treatment and Amazon does not remove them from the Hasbro shipping box.

also, Rodimus has finally arrived after 2 weeks in customs clearance. Its going to be a fun day.

I think they're much more likely to pack in Micromasters than jam them onto a core card. Rumors say a Core SS86 Rumble is incoming, so I'm skeptical of sets of Micromaster-sized tapes, and I don't think they'd do a two-pack as a one-off.
