Most do, but not all. That Primal's gorilla mode has some major issues.

I can't tell if Primal is wearing a gorilla fur kilt or his great ape butt is spun around to the wrong side a la Transmetal Megatron.

. . .

Also, has it been reported for the preorders on Hasbro's web page being up and active yet or have I scored another news credit. I just finished ordering the Prime Breakdown Jet Steve box.

Thoughts on the day/event:

Kingdom reveals were awesome. Beasts all rule, G1 guys interest me none.

Titan ark looks pretty neat in that artwork, I like what we're seeing so far!

The fact that Polar claw isn't happening despite being in that artwork is so sad, i got really hyped for him when I saw the art!

Clones re-release. Good for those that missed, but another I can pass on. Wonder why they had to skip planet #2.

Prime stuff was really neat. I pre-ordered both sets, those are steal prices! I already have breakdown, but it's worth getting a 2nd and getting the air vehicon to go with my car one. I really want a final battle Megatron, but if I could get a dark star saber with a 5mm handle, I would give it to this one and probably be happy honestly.

RED stuff is much cooler this time around. Cheetor is entirely redundant, his Kingdom release looks better and can transform. Arcee will be my first RED, that is how you do it right there!

Glad Knockout got into the hall of fame, he is so worth it, he deserves the love he gets.

Lynx is a great toy, I voted for him. He deserved it.

SS was a let down with no reveals, but those will come.

With all the orders and stuff, my Pulsecon haul includes: Pit of Judgement, Breakdown/Vehicon, Hades Megatron, Marvel Legends Silk, Black Series Armorer, and a set of 3 stands. i think this was a productive weekend.

Got Breakdown and Vehicon preordered. Don't carw about Megatron Darkness, er, "Hades Megatron".

Of all the Takara-only Prime Megatrons to choose from, they had to go and pick the ugliest, most gaudy one of them all.

Final Battle Megatron would have been more ideal.

So is this the version of Breakdown that has Silas's head inside of it?

That is a good question, but we might not know until somebody has this release to check the chest.

Thank you!
My internet has been acting very weird on posting and commenting the last few days, sometimes things don't go through.

Surprised to see you post this, Sabrblade. Personally, I'm very excited about Hades Megatron, even though I have the Arms Micron version. It's been long enough that an excusse to buy that amazing toy again is AOK with me. It's one of the best TFP Megatron toys ever ... and much better than the final battle version that has the replaced right arm (if I'm remembering correctly).

I'm also aware of the fragility of the bat Micron, so hoping Hasbro gets the translucent plastic right with their version so that it's not so fragile. Hasbro Transformers products seem to have a better track record with translucent plastic than Takara Tomy's do.

Been saying for ages it's going to take a lot to top the originals.

I don't see that happening this time.

Polar claw isn't happening apparently.
Oh the guy in the corner appears to be Gears, however he's also rumoured to have been cut.

The First Edition Deluxe was the better mold. Just needed to be sized up a la Energon Megatron/Galvatron vs. Super Link Galvatron/Galvatron G.

But instead, Hasbro made an all new mold as a Voyager and gave it a very not-silver pale deco, while Takara then made it even tackier by giving it a dark gray that Prime Megatron does not have at all and covering its body and face with mirrors.

Final Battle Megatron had the best deco of any Prime Megatron toy, minus the pink-painted arm but which was the point of that figure representing Megatron wearing the dead Prime arm he wore in the latter half of Season 2.
