New In-Hand Images of Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Tricranius Blast Power

preordered it the day of pulsecon. bit disappointing he's a maximal, maybe was hoping for a Fallen reference, but that can be fixed with a bit of nail polish remover lol

cant wait to combine him with my ractonites, gonna be rad

I got kingdom megatron and airrazor from pulse today
The smell of megs rubber reminded me of my Zurg from back in the day with his water gun arm

Fiddling with airrazors wings I already got a stress mark no more backbending of the wings to make them more compact

From my own experience and what I've read on Twitter, this is a common occurrence.

Big oof
Well on the bright side I'm looking forward to seeing her and Tigatron together when wave 4 is released

I haven't seen any stress marks on my copy's wings at all. Must have gotten lucky then if it's a common issue, but my copy of Dinobot does have stress marks on his left foot from where they put the pin in

If it happens, it seems to happen the first time you fold the wings back or upwards, depending on the orientation of the figure.

I wanna say my Dinobot has a problem with one of his feet as well, it's very loose. He still stands just fine but the front part of the foot flops around if I lift him up

Oof that's unfortunate, I'm still really looking forward to her, I always loved the design and am stoked to see it in plastic. I think my Dinobot has a stress mark on one of the thighs, it doesn't seem to want to close all the way either. C'est la QC sometimes.

It was a nice surprise to get the Powerdashers as repaints of the Siege Weaponizers a few years ago. I assumed that we would see some other oft-forgotten G1 toy-only characters in Earthrise and/or Kingdom, but nothing as yet. I'd love to get the Omnibots at least. It might take some more extensive retooling to get the looks right, but I bet it wouldn't be too hard to make a new Camshaft, Downshift, and Overdrive from some of the existing or upcoming War for Cybertron Trilogy molds. Earthrise Wheeljack for Camshaft, Kingdom Tracks for Downshift, and Earthrise Bluestreak for Overdrive, perhaps? I would still like the other Autobot Targetmasters too, Pointblank and Sureshot. We've been waiting a long time for those. At least we have an official Crosshairs from Siege.

To add my own testimonial to the BW QC talk, just so there aren't only negative examples: I've gotten my hands on all the show cast released so far minus Cheetor (waiting to find the Netflix one), and the only issues I've had are that one tab breaking on Blackarachnia the night I got her, and one of the leathery panels on Megatron's tail-arm fighting with me occasionally when going from T-rex to bot mode, nothing figure-ruining and no stress marks on Airazor's wings.

Remember how confident everyone was at the beginning of Earthrise that we'd definitely get the Omnibots as that line's Powerdasher equivalents? Fun times. Still, if they got made and they looked good, I'd bite, but I've got no attachment to them to motivate me otherwise.

Considering his rear end is burning red, mebbe some Preparation H is needed...

You sure it's not paint bleed?
