Towards the end of the latest Deathsaurus promotional stream on YouTube last Monday it was mentioned that the hand painted model they were showing off was going directly to the photographer after the stream. And now we have those photos all over the HasLab order page replacing the colored CG models revealed nearly two weeks ago. The new gallery brightens up the colors considerably and likely represent our closest look to the final figure. Enjoy the new photos and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub Forums.

I've only just noticed that they articulated the toes on the alt mode so they don't stick out from under his arm. That's a ridiculously cool detail that I doubt we'd have seen on a retail version.

I really wish I could afford this. I thought the block model was awesome but the extra detail on the painted model is gorgeous.

Anyone else disappointed that the 2nd tier was referred to as the last?

Do you think that's a good thing or a bad thing? It's accurate to the original toy and cartoon.

This guy looks fantastic. I didn't like the look of the haslab Star Sabre so I passed on it.
I don't know if I would get this guy on his own.

I am so excited for him, the new color shots make him look stunning. I am now considering getting a 2nd one.

There are so many cool details with this package, it is great!

Dare I say, he looks far FAR better than Victory Saber.

Ooh, we're now at 13,070, only another 930 to hit tier 1, we can definitely do that Monday.

Knowing what we know know about the count updates I'm sticking with my original estimate of of 18,000~ backers. There wont be a big order dump at the end this time and we're at less than 11 days remaining.

That's probably about right. VS surpassed it's 3rd tier by 6k. But villains don't traditionally sell as well as heroes, especially in Japan. Also I think the design team was smart not to force 3 tiers on this one. Added content would have been great, but possibly not obtainable. The team really got it right in the demand for this guy ( not too much or too little). Hopefully future TF Haslabs will follow a similar trend of lower priced items, but still something fans would really want.

And just like that we have the cannon! I'm a bit disappointed that that was our international backer dump though. Thought we'd get more since he fully funded and some people wait till then, but oh well. Maybe a bunch of people will order now and we'll get the throne. Not as confident as I was during the last week, but still hopeful

Re: Deathsaurus HasLab Page Updates with Hand Painted Model Gallery (2150662)
Posted by o.supreme on December 5th, 2022 @ 10:46am CST

True, it was a bit smaller this morning (about 550), as opposed to past Mondays. There is still 1 more Monday left however. I think it's going down to the wire. Probably next Mondays push will do the same, and get it just past the 17K needed if backers steadily grow this week, as they did last week.

Re: Deathsaurus HasLab Page Updates with Hand Painted Model Gallery (2150663)
Posted by Sabrblade on December 5th, 2022 @ 10:51am CST

At this point, I'm just hoping for the cannon. The throne would be nice, too, but I feel the cannon is more important to the character.

Welp, I finally saved enough to order. Now I just need to find a site that ships to other European countries beyond Pulse's (very limited) pool. The only one I could find so far was Robotkingdom; can anyone say how reliable they are with preorders?

Re: Deathsaurus HasLab Page Updates with Hand Painted Model Gallery (2150708)
Posted by william-james88 on December 5th, 2022 @ 9:01pm CST

It's just more and more good news for Haslab Deathsaurus. He was funded a a little while ago and now the first tier has been funded as well. The full description of that tier is below. There are 7 days left to back him and less than 3000 orders are needed for the throne to be included.

We also have news that Hasbro Pulse UK is shipping out Victory Saber now. Pulse USA should be doing as well soon.

Tier 1
The Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon is perhaps one of the most destructive weapons in the Transformers universe. A fully-charged blast from its barrel can erode any metal material, including the living cells of Cybertronian lifeforms. This Deathsaurus figure comes with this signature weapon accessory and his classic spiked flail accessory! Fans can also plug the 6 included blast effects onto the Deathsaurus figure and his weapon accessories. The Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon, spiked flail, and blast effect accessories will be unlocked when the campaign reaches 14,000 backers.

Posted by SpaceEagle on December 5th, 2022 @ 9:07pm CST

Radical. The throne might end being funded anyway but I am at least glad Tier 1 was reached.

I ordered both Victory Saber and Deathsaurus through them (being located in Switzerland). VS was my first order from them and should ship out soon, as I just payed the remaining balance. Can't say more than that unfortunately, but the experience so far was good

Twice the Deathy, twice the shipping. But if you're in the USA, the blow is not too bad, I guess.

Too bad the "premium member" thing is not valid for Canadians.

I'm hoping it gets that last bump to get to the second tier. I don't especially want the throne, but the stand is good to have, especially since VS has one. But the numbers aren't coming in so fast. It needs 2400 in the next 5 days. Hopefully there will be a last day spike.

According to Bmac on Instagram, not all international backers have been added yet, so we might get that last boost we need

We have a new video fresh from Pulse with Yuko San, Deathsaurus' designer at Takara Tomy, showing off all the features of Haslab Deathsaurus. The only tier left to achieve as of now is the throne and the video shows how all the weapons can be stores behind it. We also see the articulation in dragon mode as well as the chest gimmick with his two partners.

Enjoy!

Heh, noticed some typos in the subtitles, there. Near the end of the video, the subs misspell the names of Victory Saber and Deathsaurus as "Victory Cyber" and "Deathzaras", respectively.

I already have my order in for Deathsaurus, and seeing this prototype right next to Victory Saber is really making me excited to have the two displayed together. Can't wait to use their respective stands for some awesome mid-air battle shots. ;)^

From the pictures and the video, HASLAB Deathsaurus would be in scale with the original G1 Victory Saber toy while the original G1 Deathsaurus toy is in scale with HASLAB Victory Saber.

How crazy is that? :lol:

HasLab Deathsaurus is also in scale with Masterpiece Star Saber, making this also a sort of stealth MP release.

Though, MP Star Saber was always more CHUG scaled rather than MP scaled, so it still works out for HasLab Deathsaurus.

208 to go for the final tier. I fully expect it to have crossed that final threshold in the morning when I check it again.

I'm going to be bold and predict a final total of about 19-20k. Less than Victory Saber's total of 26k, but a sizable last day push seems to be traditional for Transformers products, if not all Haslabs.

Still haven't gotten my Victory Saber but that's fine, it should show up by Christmas.

Good news to those who backed Haslab Transformers Deathsaurus, all tiers have been unlocked. By now having over 17000 orders, this toy will now come with the throne and stand. This is great since we now know that the throne can store all the weapons we got when the previous tier unlocked and backers now get an even more complete package for the same price of $179.99. People who have yet to back it have today and tomorrow left to do so: https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... eathsaurus

Or better yet, another run of Victory Sabers with better QC. Ah well, nothing wrong with mine that I can't fix with a dremmel and patience.

Glad I backed this guy in the final stretch. I'd get two if I could.

I wonder who else might fit well on that throne?
