All of Kingdom Wave 3 revealed at Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest + Shattered Glass Blurr and More

I will be pre-ordering literally everything except the $700 Optimus Prime, once the general public can order.

Not gonna lie. That Tracks looks like ass.

Closest match would be pteranodon ingens, due to the beak profile and back facing part of the crest, but that upward spike throws things off if you don't write it off as kibble.

Almost the same here, no SG for me either. But, the only thing I'm pre-ordering from Pulse is the Blast Effects pack, and 1 or 2 other items to get me free shipping, if there are any left once it opens up to the public. Otherwise, Amazon gets my pre-orders.

The biggest surprise was the Fossilizer combiner, that was super cool. Just a shame that two of the members are Predacons so it’s kinda weird. But hey, we got Transmutate and the new Maximal version of Ractonite coming so it kinda works out for me. Galvatron, Rodimus, Scorponok, and the Ark are exactly what I expected, though neat twist that the Ark has the Golden Disks. Draconite is incredibly lame, just a green Vertebreak, hard pass. Core Soundwave is actually super neat, didn’t think he’d come with a (non-transformable) Laserbeak. Rhinos I’m going to pass for now so far since I think I prefer the 2014 one, but if I see him in person I’ll bite. Tracks is amazing, definitely down for him.

What is people's problem with Tracks exactly?

"Oh sweet, new Tracks and Rhinox!"

*Actually sees them

"...huh."

Probably gonna stick with my Generations versions of both.

Honestly, only one of these I'll probably pick up is Scorponok.

I could not be online until 12:25pm and by then, the Ark had sold out on Hasbro Pulse - really putting that 50 dollar membership to use ... 8-(. Is the Ark a Pulse exclusive or will it be available at other retailers like Amazon, BigBadToyStore, etc.? Any info could help ease my anxiety.

I preordered everything except for that 699 Optimus Prime. I want it, but that is way too much.
I like the blast effects pack, although I would like to see Just a large Blast Effect Packs.

Aside from the original G1 release, has there not been complaints about any releases of Tracks?

The Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest brought us some great new reveals to go with the ones form IGN yesterday and most of them are now available for preorder on Hasbro Pulse. We will have the links below first followed by the images. Along with wave 3 from the Kingdom line (which includes commander class Rodimus and the titan class figure called Autobot Ark), we also have an exclusive effects parts pack featuring a Ractonite redeco called Tricranius.

Can somebody tell me why hasbro needed to make a massive crowdfunding platform just to back one of the most famous transformers in history for $550, when they just released an electronic Optimus prime for $700? That’s just wack. I mean that’s a cool freaking Optimus, but as someone who paid twice as much for this unicron in aftermarket prices $700 is just a lot, and they didn’t even need to crowd fund it lol.

It's one of the worst MP figures we've ever gotten. How's that for a complaint?

MP Road Rage is pretty fiddly but I assumed that was how MPs were until I got MP SG Prime and it was no where near as fiddly.

For Kingdom Tracks, the two complaints I've seen are the arms do not fit flush against the sides in flight mode and the front of the legs in robot mode is not what they expected. Neither is a problem for me but I do see what they are pointing out.

Size, I would imagine. Not everyone has space for a small child but who doesn't have space for that Optimus.

I'll definitely be getting Rodimus Prime, Galvatron, Rhinox and Tracks.
•I can see how they didn't completely nail tracks but im satisfied with him. Flight mode could've been better if the arms weren't just hanging out.
•Rhinox doesn't look as good as T30 version but that bad boi is more expensive and from what I've heard has loose leg joints
•Scorponok I'm still on the fence about, but ill probably get him to complete the cast
•I wasn't feeling Wingfinger at first but the more I see him the more he grows on me, and id love to make that fossilizer combiner!!!
•I went to pulse but wasn't able to see the price for the blast effects pack, can anyone tell me? I don't like ractonite all that much but I'd want to make the combiner and if this new one isn't too expensive I'll get it instead
•I had no intention of getting SG Blurr since I already own SS86 version and I'm not too into SG but that head sculpt is enough to put me on the fence

$29.99 for the effects, just like last time. Although, last time they screwed up and had the Centurion pack listed for $19.99 to start. Wish I had bought two lol.

I appreciate the response! Now I just need to decide if I want to pay an extra $10 for a better paint job and blast effects I probably won't use. Me thinks yes.

Haha hopefully they make the same mistake this time

Because they didn't make it themselves? For Unicron, Hasbro and Takara took on that project themselves, so they needed to know it was worth it to take on the risk and scope of that figure. Robo Optimus is manufactured by a third party, so more of the risk is on that company than Hasbro/Takara.

On another note, im pleased to see there's more to CC roddy's trailer than (MEETS THE EYE DA-DUM TSSS HEYOOOOH) the initial impression and I like the bottom compartment for blast effects and weapons

I thought pterodactyls had tails while pteranodons do not. Looks more like a pteranodon, granted the crest isn't that big.
