Transformers fans, now is your chance to bring a legendary rivalry to life. Picture it: the heroic Victory Saber* and the evil Deathsaurus standing off in a larger-than-life battle as part of your personal collection. This is an opportunity you won’t want to miss! This HasLab project re-creates Deathsaurus, inspired by Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory, as a premium collectible figure for his debut in the Transformers line for the first time in over 30 years.
Straight Out of the Dark Nebula
Deathsaurus has a pretty iconic alt mode, and the team made sure the figure design reflects just how awesome it really is. This figure converts between robot and his powerful griffon-dragon alt mode, with plenty of features befitting the Decepticon warlord, including wing, claw, and jaw articulation. Deathsaurus stands at an impressive 11-inch height in robot mode, to scale with the prior HasLab Victory Saber figure. This figure is animation-accurate and features 30 points of articulation for creating epic battle stances and iconic poses from the anime.
“Chest Attack!”
Deathsaurus has deployed the Chest Animals! Deathsaurus wouldn’t be complete without his iconic Micromaster chestplate beasts, Eaglechest and Tigerchest. Eaglechest coverts between eagle and cassette modes, and Tigerchest converts between tiger and chest piece modes. The cassette-mode Eaglechest figure can fit inside the chest of Deathsaurus. The Tigerchest figure attaches to the Deathsaurus figure as a horned chest piece. Both Micromasters also convert to weapon modes that Deathsaurus can wield in battle! The Eaglechest figure has a 6-inch wingspand and converts to a double-barreled blaster accessory, and the 4-inch-long Tigerchest figure converts to a bow accessory.
Weapons of Destruction
Deathsaurus can’t crush his archnemesis without his iconic weapons! Pose Deathsaurus challenging Victory Saber* on the battlefield with the included sword accessory that the figure can hold. Attach the Tigerchest figure in bow mode and pose Deathsaurus taking aim at his archnemesis with the included arrow accessory. This figure also comes with the classic Death Tailer shield accessory that attaches in alt mode as the tail of Deathsaurus.
TIER 1 – 14,000 BACKERS: “FEEL THE POWER OF THE LIVING-METAL-DESTROYING CANNON!”
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.
TIER 2 – 17,000 BACKERS: A THRONE BEFITTING THE DECEPTICON EMPEROR
The Transformers team has sculpted an imposing throne for Deathsaurus that reflects his awesome power. This 11-inch accessory features premium deco and details inspired by the throne as seen in the anime. Additionally, we know you want to show off Deathsaurus in the most epic poses imagineable. We’re including 2 stand pieces to allow Transformers fans to showcase Deathsaurus in his most powerful stances. The throne accessory, stand base, and stand arm attachment will be unlocked when the campaign reaches 17,000 backers.

...wait, when they say Hasbro Pulse Europe delivers to Spain, do they mean literally only Spain, or the usual "let's just lump the entire Iberic Peninsula as one country"?

Would $160 in 2020 make more sense? Because the inflation since VS has been a whopping 10%. So I definitely see it.
Anyways, doesn't matter, this thing will get backed easily. I gotta give it to the transformers team, they really know how to price their Haslab projects to have enough hype.

On a side note: That's gonna be quite the big lad to put on a shelf. The display possibilities of him with Victory Saber are already making me very excited.

Yeah, that's a very smart move of 'em, especially with it being crucial info.

For me? No. To me this is an exclusive Commander, and still feels about 40-60 too high to me and for a figure that doesn’t feel as impressive. Maybe the color photos will convince me otherwise
. I want to have deathChicken but this isn’t an instant for me like VS was.

While I really like Victory Saber there were some obvious compromises made to make it work, the most of which being the gaps in Saber and Victory Leo's arms and legs and a rather basic stand as an unlockable, and 20K tier that was just a shield that should have come with him and two very simple Micromaster repaints. For Deathsaurus I would call him on par with VS. He comes with all of his important parts at the base level, his first tier includes all of his best secondary weapons, and the stand tier also includes a throne (though which one is anyone's guess, they showed off two entirely different designs). For me it's a necessity to go with my VS orders and I'll have no regrets even if we haven't seen it in color yet and it already looks amazing!

Yep, Deathsaurus is a really good price, like within a normal MP collector's range, which puts it within a generations collector's higher one time range for special items, which is great. half the price of the others. They did good with Victory Saber, and I'd say they did good again

Honestly with the size of the lad we're getting and the (potential) extra accessories, I'd say it seems like a good price. I never really cared about visible gaps but I do appreciate the budget being used to make sure those potential spots are covered up for those that do care. Considering stuff like Rodimus Prime and Motormaster seems to ring up as almost 100$ here including tax, the 80$ increase doesn't really seem that big to me. I wouldn't complain about getting some price cuts at all though.
