Is this a really heavily remolded version of Kingdom Airazor? It seems to have a lot of the elements, and the way everything transforms seems to mirror the Kingdom WFC Deluxe. The bird head folds down into the chest, the arms seem to tuck into the bird body like the Kingdom figure, and it's got the same triple jointed legs with clawed feet, albiet molded very differently...

Pretty much, while I don't think it's a retool, it's definitely a case of shared engineering.

Its not a remold at all.

It shares a ton of engineering, with Kingdom AirRazor, but is significantly larger.

It basically uses the same transformation and parts only scaled up a bit, so a different larger mold.

Man, those are some big legs in falcon mode. Honestly looks half-transformed, or some sort of gerwalk mode.

Yes, it's very mistransformed if we assume it transforms the same way as Kingdom Airrazor. The torso should be slid down closer to the legs, and the legs should be tucked into the body more.

It wouldn't be the first time that even the 'official' photos had a figure mis-transformed. I guess 'shared engineering' is closer to the mark than remolded, given it is larger and all...

It's basically the same case as these two:

Different molds, but one apes the transformation engineering of the other.

So now only 94, and 98 (as far as skipped numbers) are unknown.

Also , these examples show that even at the same Price point, Hasbro/TT scan even slightly scale up and down on things. I'm keeping that in mind for possible future TF's that are too small, or too big. ;)

Not a bad looking bot but not something I need.

I'm getting male transformer vibes from this one. Big, kinda bulky. Not airrazor to me

That Airazor is not too bad, but all that shared engineering is a bit lazy and it makes her not unique at all.

Well, BW Airazor was male in Japan, so it's not like the original Airazor was always only a female anyway. ;)

almost as if its parts count and R&D that determine the price point and not the size, something they've told us for years now

We've seen this for a few figures now. With the advent of CAD files, you can reuse transfomation more easily to make a new toy that has a very similar transformation to another one. It's not a remold in the sense that any aspect of the previous actual mold was used, but more like a reskin using the previous CAD files, which then leads to a fully new mold.

I'm loving the little details on this figure. The feathers, the bolts on the face...this is a must for me. Very nicely done.

I was thinking more along the lines of... With the case of CW/UW Devastator. I like the toy well enough, but I prefer a smaller one that scaled with the rest of the CW/UW combiners. There was a scaled down KO that met that need that I purchased, but for the longest time, we were always told Hasbro couldn't just "scale up" or "scale down" the design and re release a toy at a different size. Now they may not WANT to, but this shows they clearly CAN do it...

I am guessing 94 is Buzzworthy Hatchet and 98 is the 3rd deluxe of the wave.

Agreed, I really like it.

Yeah, I better pre-order a figure that we're probably going to see rotting in stores for the majority of 2023. I'll get right on that! :roll:

You know, given what we've seen of Airazor and Cheetor thus far, we can probably expect toys of Optimus Primal and Rhinox to also share transformation engineering with their respective Kingdom toys.
