While it was a nice surprise that Amazon, and a few other retailers got wave 1 early, that is the exception more than the norm.... we will have to wait and see, but I don't expect anything until May.

My Pile of Loot iOS finally on its way to me. with Primal, Cyclonus, Cheetor and Paleotrex which were in the pile for a month almost.

Just waiting on Amazon to ship Dinobot and I would be happy.

Will likely pickup Ratrap and Airazor from regular retailer when I see them.

Amazon has my Primal and Megatron.

You will be waiting a while for Dinobot, Wave 2 isn't due until May there.

No chance of an early release for Dinobot?

Megatron seems to not be in at BBTS yet. also on Pre-Order as are SS Hot Rod and Grimlock.

Megatron states it will be available I March, and HR and Grimmy on April, so will probably stick Meg in Pile of Loot until the other 3 arrive and I can ship the together.

I doubt Dinobot would get an early release. I won't say never, but I'd doubt he'd ship earlier than his intended release of beginning of May.

My Amazon preorder for Primal was due a week and a half ago but hasn't shipped yet, and Megatron was pushed to April for me, so it'll be a bit before I see him more than likely

Is there any new update for wave 1 kingdom figures for europe and scandinavia. or are they still scheduled for march?

I'm still only seeing Earthrise Grapples, Doubledealers, Leader Earthrise Optimus Primes. Swarms of Studio Series Megatron and lots of power of the primes Jazz's and Dinobot Slug.

Sad, but not unexpected.

Still Primal and the rest should be here in a. few days. Once more Primal to add to the collection. So much fun. Can't wait.

So today's my birthday. I'm officially 20 years old. In terms of Transformers, I got two figures. First, I got Earthrise Sunstreaker. He's neat. That's it I don't really have any strong feelings on this guy. Transformation is pretty cool and the car mode is nice. My CW Sunstreaker (Along with the other components of Optimus Maximus) has been staying in a drawer for the past couple years but he'll be in there uh.....even harder-er now.

But enough about him the real star of the show (and the reason this post is in the kingdom thread) is I got kingdom Optimus Primal.

Not gonna lie I was kind of hoping for Cyclonus but I'm not complaining
I don't have any particular attachment to Beast Wars, I've never seen that much of the show and I honestly prefer mechanical beast modes to organic, but I figure if I'm going to get the characters I want from the Beast Wars cast it might as well be now. So yeah anyways Primal is pretty awesome. The transformation is fun and robot mode is cool. I also appreciate the fact that they actually put in the arm cannons.

So in conclusion

REJECT TRUKK, RETURN TO MUNKY.

Finally got and play around with kingdom cyclonus. Ya'll, the fanfare ain't overrated. He is indeed that good, just excellent all around.

Do y'all think Kingdom Cyclonus could be this line's Thrilling 30 Springer?

Anyone else struggling with getting BW Megatron or SS-86 Grimlock? Amazon pushed them back a month later each, which seems a little too unreasonable for two guys with other figures already out in retail.

I had the entire first wave of Kingdom pre-ordered, for a friend. When it shipped, Megatron was listed as not being among them. Given a random later release date of February, for some reason?

It really doesn't make a lot of sense, as you would have thought all figures within a wave would have been completed at the same time :???:

Got Warpath.

It's amazing that he's a "mini masterpiece" like most figures from the Kingdom line. The bot is perfect looking, and the tank is perfect looking.

However, he's not fun at all to transform. Seriously. He's simple, but he's finnicky and fiddly as fok. The back panel get stuck in the "arm cage". The feet tilt get caught in things. Panels are hard to line up. Final insult to injury, the need to partform with a "shield" for the front.

Compared to the old Generations version, KD Warpath is shorter in bot mode, but the same size in tank mode. Yet the older version look more like a "mature" and "adult" version of Warpath than the newer one. Plus he's much more fun and intuitive to transform. I still like having both side by side, but I regret that I had to pay full price for KD Warpath.

Oh well.

Greetings Seibertronians! Something different to share with you today. The good folk over at the DaimChoc Reports Facebook page have shared some new group shots of all the Beast Wars characters released so far in the Transformers Kingdoms line, and more to boot! The images were taken by another Facebook user, Lumaken.

Transformers Thrilling 30s Voyager Class Rhinox joins the cast in both photos. In the second image, the Fossilizers and Power of the Primes Optimal Optimus join in the action. We also see Rhinox carrying Primal and Rattrap.

Through these images, we get a good look at how dinobot and Airazor will shape up to their comrades.

Will you be gathering up these beasts?

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

I wonder how T30 Waspinator would look (even if we know a Waspinator is coming in the Kingdom line)

News Credits: 1 · by **Cheetron** » Sun Feb 14, 2021 12:37 pm

Dinobot just looks weird with all the orange showing. I can't unsee that for some reason.

But now I want to break all my guys out!

Same. It is such an obvious problem that even the original figure didn’t have.

Oh, the original figure had lots of orange on its dino belly.

The only things I like better about the original mold are that the tail weapon actually spins and it had beefier arms. Other than that its got nothing on the Kingdom version

The Transformers Kingdom wave 2 core and deluxe class figures are out in France. They were found at the store Carrefour. TF fan transform75 made a video review for the core class Megatron figure he picked up there. It's in French, but it gives a good idea of what is in store for those who are interested.

Hello
I may be one of the first to post a video review (in French) of Core class Megatron from Kingdom.
Part of the second wave core class, it is perfect for titan and commander class size like SkyLynx and Scorponok

Deluxe and Core class wave 2 has been released here in France.
Enjoy the visuals
