Original Kingdom Tigatron Concept Art Shows Initial Plan of him Being a Cheetor Redeco

Got Kingdom Rhinox. I almost didnt But I was getting sick of T30's loose legs. Whoever at Hasbro came up with the leg transformation. Should be hung by there toes and used as a Pinata. I wanted to try and swap the Thrilling 30's Show accurate head with the Kingdom head but that Kingdom Head won't budge

Feels good to have the season-one Maximal cast, at least. I'm looking forward and hoping to complete the Predacon side, as well. Once I get Terrorsaur from Pulse all I'll need is Inferno and Tarantulas!

Lawl same.

I guess I'm a masochist, I've transformed mine 4 times now. The first, using Hasbro's instructions was the worst, by far. I'm not sure where they went wrong, but some of their steps just didn't make sense. The second and third weren't too bad once I generally knew where everything went and how to get it there. It was also pretty soon after the first time. This was a month or 2 ago. The 4th was last night and not as pleasant, mainly because I forgot what order I did the legs. I eventually stumbled into it. He's back in bot mode now. I store them in totes in alt mode, so there will eventually be a 5th, I'm just not looking forward to it that much.

Edit: That being said, he's still pushing floppy-assed T30 Rhinox to the ebay pile.

I agree it felt good putting that floppy piece of crap in the closet and replacing him with a toy with actual heft and stiff leg joints

Is there a good comparison pic of Kingdom and G1 Eject? I had heard he's better-sized than the SIEGE Frenzy and Rumble jokes but I'm not so sure of that after seeing a pic of him next to one of them. The WFC tapedeck bots are... frustrating. I had had some hope for Blaster after what I heard about Eject, but now I don't know.

*shrug* Heft is only worth so much IMO, and loose joints can always be tightened. But I suppose people dumping theirs will lower the price on the T30 for me when I go hunting for it, so I can't complain too loudly.

I can however complain that Kingdom Mirage was stupid as hell and should have only changed the outer calf pieces. Or even just been the SIEGE mold but with the clear plastic opaqued. But no, Hasbro dropped way more new parts money than they needed to to make the altmode more earthly... with the result being an overall worse-designed figure with a worse deco. I pity everyone who just wanted the BW Grimlock update.
I'll agree that SIEGE Mirage's use of transparent plastic for the outer calves is something of a problem, since I've had to make a few repairs... but hooooo boy are the design tradeoffs on the Kingdom version not worth replacing him with that one.

Emgo compared them (cassette, robot). Kingdom Eject is about the same size as the Siege cassettes and a bit smaller than the G1 versions.

Damn it.

I am hoping Pulse would hurry up and ship him out period

There is no core Hot Rod for the Commander Class Kingdom Rodimus

The Rodimus vehicle is just Rodimus not Hot Rod. And should be tied down in the box next to the trailer. Not in bubble wrap.


Make sure you got this:



Not this:

I think what he meant by "core" bot is not the Core class, but the main bot for the set.

If there is no toy-swapping shenanigans happening, it's all right.
But no way in hell it is "Mint In SEALED Box".

That's exactly what I meant Kanrabat thanks...clearly a poor choice term on my end.

No surprise that the seller has not answered my message regarding this but I will allow some more time.

Yeah Overcracker I figured as much...thanks!

I really think this is the first time I've received an item on eBay that was listed as "new" and "misb" and it clearly was not. The figure itself looked like it was simply transformed to and back again but the spoiler part and the 2 panels on the spoiler all were not tabbed on and of course missing the ties.

The seller hasn't commented yet and if they don't the best I could do I guess is to give a negative feedback. I'm down with buying "used" or "just opened to inspect" or even "just transformed only once then back into box" but if it's New then damnation mean it.

What an awesome feel you get when you grip that MISP item that you know you bought!
