what is news here is that the cross sale on Scorn is none other than Voyager Nitro, who was not said to be part of the main line. You are free to guess what this could mean and be sure to share your thoughts on the forums!
These pictures also show us the complexities of the figures with the amount of steps, which is always fun. The images below were uploaded by 淘宝店变形金刚改造工厂 on Weibo. Enjoy!

The deluxe tacked them on to a butt-flap that didn't compress anywhere, this is a far better solution as it looks much less obtrusive, the part that doesn't sit so well with me is the bot mode arm just hanging out under the beast mode.

Nitro looks sweet, hope voyager bee is the tank and not the battle blade mold (won't be surprised if it is though) I probably wouldn't buy it as bee, but it would make for cool remold fodder.

We have final product images that show what his colour will most probably look like, I hope that helps: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... mus/38206/
This DOES give a hint to awesome. But final judgement will be done when it will be seen in a real setting, not a studio.

I thought that piece folded up as a backpack. Then it's pretty decent, so yeah I'm not a fan of the arms on the shoulder either. But I'm really worried about his crotch, it looks like it connects like CW Bonecrusher. I'm worried he'll be super lose like Steelbane and that crotch won't connect.

Not sure it's worth paying an extra 10$CAN just so I can recycle a box instead of a bubble.
Oh, and be careful about selling your AoE dinobots. We don't know yet if all of them will be repainted or remolded.

Loved Dinobots as a kid, never got them, so when AOE came out I got them all...well all the colorful Power Ranger-like ones anyways, none of the fancy G1 or movie inspired repaints.
Of course when I saw the movie I was a tad conflicted on why there were so many deluxe sized ones... Besides Grimlock ( I went Leader versus Voyager on that one), the only other voyager-sized one we got wasn't even in the movie
Before anyone bashes me for saying this...marketing, tooling, etc, etc... They're freaking Dinobots, so make them all Leader-sized, but make them Deluxe or Voyager level complexity. Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters upscaled some of their Legends to Deluxe size, I say upscale the Deluxe to Leader size.
What kid or collector wouldn't want a foot tall Dinobot??
That's just me...So Voyager Scorn...meh.

I agree with this but grimlock is bigger than the others so him being leader and the others voyager makes sense. Scales for the movie toys have been weird since ROTF. I do like the idea of upscaling the deluxe though that's a solid idea. In saying that the new mould scorn is much better than the deluxe especially that Dino mode. I'm curious what warranted him getting a bigger toy. Perhaps he's the red knight we see with merlin and he'll play a big part in the last knight.

Cool that's based on the Armor Knight retool rather than the standard AoE release isn't it? Why they didn't do that for the TLK Leader release? Might have made the price increase feel a bit more justified.

this one seems to be takara release. So chance are, takara skipped that shadow spark version and goes with this, while hasbro sticks with shadow spark and not releasing this version for US market.

Shadow Spark isn't being released in the U.S. market either. It's a Hasbro Asia exclusive.bacem wrote:Carnivius_Prime wrote:bacem wrote:Someone on my whatsapp group just shared these.

Thats right, the only leader prime the US is getting is this one:

Remember to use the Sightings Database to help out fellow collectors, and happy hunting - wherever you are in the world.
My local Toymaster in Staffordshire had him on the shelves at the weekend, along with wave-mate Leader Prime. In past experience this store gets stuff in 2-3 weeks ahead of other chain retailers (I bought Titans Return Galvatron last summer and didn't see him in Toys'R'Us for another month).
Posted by breacher on May 29th, 2017 @ 12:49pm CDT
You'd think, since these movies make billions of dollars, they would try and make a decent toyline to go along with it, but no. We have an extremely small, low quality line that fails on simple things such as QC. (before some triggered fangirl attacks me for saying the line isn't good, I actually do like some portions, namely squeaks and the new voyagers, but that's undermined by the poor quality of the rest of the line for me)
Posted by Tyrannacon on May 29th, 2017 @ 1:00pm CDT
And if you think the quality is bad on TFs you should really look at the lackluster offerings made by Hasbro for the Jurassic World series, they totally stink and look dollar store cheap. The stuff they put into their own properties is by far better than the stuff that isn't in their specific creative property.

I've been a bit wary of the toys after pretty much the entire AOE and some of the DOTM lines, but this looks really good. It actually makes me like the design of Megatron in the film, too. Maybe it's the Fusion Cannon on his arm and the sick sword, but I dunno.
Posted by Insurgent on May 29th, 2017 @ 2:59pm CDT
I used some clubpoints and picked up Prime for 'normal' voyager price. He's a really nice figure, well worth having. Knees don't have a lot of bend in them but overall, he's a good solid figure with a satisfying transformation.
Tried to do a headswap with an Evasion Prime to give him his mouth face, but the balljoints are different sizes.

Huh, I see that, but also don't.
I guess teaching English all day to Italians in 34C can kinda slow my own syntax...

I wouldn't base my opinion entirely on Balt's review. He tends to focus on the negatives of a figure.
I see it like this:
Baltmatrix - wines about everything wrong.
Emgo - fangirls about everything right.
Peaugh - unbiased, but mumbles and runs off topic. (Best if you are just watching one)
Thew - fun entertainment, three waves late (personal favorite)
Optibotimus - in love with his own voice, will do a sixteen minute review on a repainted legion figure and then mistransform it.

Addition to Peaugh: Has issues keeping things in view of the camera.
I do subscribe to him on Youtube but the only one i actively follow is Thew, because he's very entertaining.

His robot mode looks great and loose joints can easily be tightened and poor paint can be added to with some model paint. I'll buy him in a sale with those points in mind.

He doesn't have bad paint, the reviews I've seen showed an impressive amount of good paint.

Breacher's words, not mine. And paint stuff doesn't bother me as much if the mold itself is still really good as I can have some fun painting it myself.

I stopped watching Baltmatrix once he just started to not give a crap, and gets many many things wrong about figures and generally has no idea about a figure he's reviewing.
Peaugh is okay, he's neutral but will miss some key points about some figures, and will just ham fist many of them and yes will do things out of the view of the camera.
I really do like Emgo even if he does fangirl about the positives. He'll still point out the issues he has with the figures, he just won't rant or get all bent out of shape about them. And generally is pretty timely with the reviews. He also has a sense of humor I can relate to.
Vange1us is indeed the best, but he takes ages to get to any figures. Though his reviews are really good, and in-depth.
Optibotimus, can get on my nerves real easily. I try to avoid him, unless I have no other choice. But many times he just won't care about the figure he's reviewing and that can get annoying.
I guess I'll have to give Thew a shot
I generally go for a combination of Peaugh, Emgo and Vangelus when possible.

Yep I tend to go with peaugh and thew, and vangelus if he puts any videos out.
Emgo was fun the first few times but he reuses the same jokes in every review. It gets annoying after a while.

NEED. NOW.
Posted by Evil Eye on May 30th, 2017 @ 1:38pm CDT
Optibotimus much the same, I just...I dunno, man. He takes way too long to review simple figures and doesn't even do that good a job on them.
Peaugh is OK but very dull on occasion. Not terrible though.
Baltmatrix overuses the word "weird" and hamhands figures whilst blaming it on the toy. On the plus side he does review old obscure stuff and he is honest.
BensCollectibles is overly positive even with total crap. I have heard he's going through a real rough spot though so I find it hard to hate on him.
Vangelus I have no issues with. Well edited, short, to the point and entertaining.
Thew is the god of reviews. Most reviewers I'll only watch the ones I'm interested in. Thew though I'll watch them all. He's just so damn funny.
Bobby Skullface takes his time but he's very in-depth, quite professional and brutally honest. My one gripe with him is his obsession with everything being slathered in paint- and I say that as a paintoholic myself.
Anyway, Steelbane. The robot mode looks beastly. The dragon/wyvern mode is...well it's OK, hard to tell because Baltmatrix did a terrible job transforming him. The paint, I can see what they were attempting but it looks kinda awful. The QC is inexcusable. Like, yes you can fix it with floor polish but for £24 you shouldn't have to.
So yeah. Good engineering, rubbish paint, absolutely garbage QC. I'll pick him up if I have money to burn or he goes on clearance. At the very least I might be able to salvage him with the Airbrush of Power.
