I put "Transformers Toys Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom" in the search bar. They seem to have everything that Pulse has.

It'll probably hold it better too.

That's who Vector Prime was based on in the first place.

Question, can you cancel a preorder from Pulse?

Yup.

How can I cancel or modify an order?

Crowdfunded or pre-order orders may be cancelled or modified at any time before payment has been processed. Payment for pre-order orders will be processed when product is received at our warehouse and available to ship. Payment for crowdfunded orders will be processed once the sign-up period has expired and the project is backed.

To cancel, log into your account, navigate to Order History, click into your order, then cancel the item. For in-stock items, you will be unable to change or cancel your order once confirmed in checkout.

OK, so thoughts on all the reveals.

The artwork: fantastic artwork! that spread is really cool. But I am so angry that I saw Polar Claw and then had my hopes dashed almost immediately, I really wanted that!

Box art is stunning. That is the king of boxes right there!

Core Optimus: easy pass, I have the old T30 one for Metroplex/other titans.

Core Rattrap: still cool little dude, definitely getting him.

Core Vertebreak: that is a really sweet looking robot and dino mode right there! i think Vertebreak is my favorite reveal of the day honestly. I will get.

Deluxe Cheetor: looks really nice still, and just as good as the RED figure while transforming. Will get.

Deluxe Blackarachnia: looks nice, will grab.

Deluxe Warpath: easy pass, Generations one is the best.

Deluxe Paleotrex: also looks pretty awesome still, I like Vertebreak more, but this one also still looks great.

Voyager Cyclonus: will probably pass, i like my CW one good enough.

Voyager Primal: so so cool. That gorilla face is incredible, and the amount of features in the robot mode are awesome. The fact that they got all the MP features in this is also really awesome. Will get.

Leader Megatron: also super awesome still. He is a definite grab.

Also, I finally realized why I am so into the Fossilizer aesthetic: they are pretty similar to the TLK Infernocus. They could be his little buddies!

Yup. I saved myself from HASLAB Unicron.
Of course, if the thing is almost in the shipping stage, it would be too late.

What do you need to cancel?

Primal is definitely my favorite reveal of the day. He's basically the MP, but affordable Plus, I love the "realistic" approach, but I use quotes because to me Primal looks like Kong from the Monsterverse movies. Definitely liking Vertebreak though.

Also, I had a thought regarding Tigatron: What if he's a voyager because he's going to come with the tail and gut blaster for himself and Cheetor? Didn't he tend to use the tail rifle while Cheetor used the gut blaster?

Everyone is loving the box art on the Kingdom boxes, isn't like that so they can cover how little space the figures are taking up?

If I remember correctly, Hasbro wanted to cut down on the use of plastic in packaging. This is likely the first step towards that goal.

god, you could just bitch about anything, it's people like you that make me **** hate these forums; here we are on the cusp of getting a nearly masterpiece style line of BEAST WARS figures (at one point a literal dream to the fandom) with crazy high parts counts and accessories - in some cases - all in scale with each other (virtually eradicating the need to wait and collect the masterpieces), and all you can do is take pot shots at the amount of empty space in the boxes, so, by your logic, marvel legends figures are the vastly superior product because of their space usage in the package

Same bullcrap argument that make me want to bitch-slap people in the face when they whine about the air inside bags of chips.
YOU WANT CHIPS OR PASTE?
Argh...

That uh seems like an overreaction there Hellscream, that original post doesn't sound that much like whining to me.

I don't mind air in the chip bags for necessary reasons of course...but I would still like to see just a bit more chips in a bag, there is definitely wasted space that could be filled up a little more in that regard.

I preordered Cyclonus and Megatron. Mostly so I don't have to go hunting in stores, although it's taking long enough on those preorders that it might end up in my area before it comes in anyway.

The fossilizers are RAD. If I had more money I'd be up for most of this line. But I don't, so I have to go to where my heart lies - the animated movie.

I'm torn on Black Arachnia. I have the Legends one and I like the Legends one, but the Legends one is broken at the elbows. I bought a second one and it too is broken at those dang elbows too. We'll see I guess. I wish it had the Legends' colors.

It's for our order, in case it ends up at EB games or something and we don't havet to pay $35 shipping.

Nah, dogs are just more marketable than dead horses.

Why yes, yes I can, and I do so quite often. It's a gift.

Random fact, it's not air in chip bags but nitrogen. If they used regular air the chips would spoil. The gas is used to cushion the chips from breaking in transit.

Then leave.

You've been here long enough to know people are going to have differing opinions to yours, or opinions that you just don't like. If you can't handle that then maybe you should get off the internet entirely.

But if you ever go after a member like that again, then you WILL receive a warning.

More than likely, it was my very second thought about it. Snap dragon included almost as much free oxygen and extra plastic as Cliffjumper box did and its not even a small figure.

I tend to like receiving my toys unbroken.
But that's may be just me. ¯\_( ͡°ヮ ͡°)_/¯

I must say, I haven't been seriously tempted by regular Transformers lines, realistically since Beast Machines or Car Robots. I did buy some from UT back in the day, but no more than three and I was happy enough.

The Beast Wars MP line is the only one I've stuck with that is modern and ongoing. The Ark, has piqued my interest though. I like the bigger bots. I wouldn't have the four modern City Bots if I didn't. I passed on Omega Supreme because he is too tall in either mode for me to practically store or display. But a nice flat Space Shuttle is doable. I await images for him with great interest.


Oh and if you want a full packet of Crisps/potato chips, that is what Pringles are for, no?

Y'all worried about the box windows... what about that stellar full art we're getting on the boxes? I feel like Hasbro's art department has been stepping up their game.
