Transformers Power of the Primes Punch / Counterpunch Available Through Amazon.AU

So it seems Repugnus would have been better if he was more like this custom:

Note the articulated arms, tail, and detailed head.

Except that he's a bug. He shouldn't have a tail at all.

Or bat wings.

Wave2 has returned to some stores for anyone still hunting!Still no other Leaders besides Roddy around here....

So will Punch see retail stores or not?

Nemesis Destron wrote:So will Punch see retail stores or not?

Online exclusive just like his brethren Repugnus and Blast Off.

Nemesis Destron wrote:So will Punch see retail stores or not?

Doesn't look like it. All three (Blast Off, Repugnus, Punch) are online only so far. Maybe by this holiday season overstock will end up in Ross or TJMaxx (yeah right!).

Aussie Amazon can get Punch/Counterpunch? Excellent news for Qwan, Burn and co Sadly I can't see Blast Off + Megatronus but, even worse,

No sellers are currently delivering this item to New Zealand.

Also, the official Repugnus does have articulated arms, we've already seen that his bug arms move from pictures.

And it might just be me, but having seen the individual TM head on him compared to his included head, I actually prefer the toy-accurate one. The eyes are smaller, yeah, but the rest of the head looks better to me.

I've noticed, and as someone hunting for Wave 3, I don't much appreciate it. All I saw were 3 Jazz's and a Sinnertwin before my Walmart got flooded with unnecessary Rippersnappers and Dinobots.

Dang, that's too bad! I thought you guys could (theoretically) ship from Amazon US to New Zealand? I might be wrong but I seem to remember some Kiwis being able to import Punch/Counter and Blast Off.

Well that confirms that TT will be making both Repugnuts and Grotusque. Guess that should ease some minds about getting Grotusque.

It will still be pricey as hell though since its a ttmall exclusive and thus your main option will be Robot Kingdom with their shipping priced from hell.

Encore Big Convoy!

Count me lucky then that I got Grotusque already and have Repugnus on order.

Awesome! Throne of the primes looks cool and everyone should have one

LG-EX Repug & Grotess? Very surprising that Legends is being pulled out again.

They did say Legends would live on as TTM exclusives, they never said Greatshot and Grand Max would be the last of that.

They do fit the bill. Shame the die-cast Scorponok isn't included: maybe they're saving that for a Black Zarak redeco?

It's happening again, folks! As was done not long ago with Wreck-Gar and Nemesis Prime, it appears that Takara Tomy will indeed be releasing more Hasbro-exclusive Power of the Primes figures (and one from Titans Return) in their domain as well. Old Toys R Us exclusive Grotusque will see release, as will Amazon exclusive Repugnus and the SDCC exclusive Throne of the Primes figure set.

The news isn't all roses however, as while Throne of the Primes is being released as a regular part of Takara's Power of the Primes line (as PP-43), Grotusque and Repugnus will be instead released as part of the LG-EX line - meaning they will be harder to obtain than regular Takara Transformers, and likely cost a significant amount more to boot.

Despite this, it's good to know that fans will have more opportunities to obtain these otherwise-exclusive toys, especially the much-desired but hard-to-obtain Throne of the Primes! Check out images below from Dengeki Hobby and Twitter user @Chohenken, and share any thoughts you may have in the Energon Pub Forums. And of course, stay tuned for the last few snippets of WonFes news right here on Seibertron.com!

I'm just glad Repugnus and Grotusque are the same as Hasbro's, otherwise might be convinced to buy them all over again.

Emerje

Well, I guess the last shoe to drop now for Takara's Power of the Primes line is Punch/Counterpunch. Will it be added to the main line along with Wreck-Gar, Nemesis Prime, and The Throne of the Primes? Or will it be a "EX" exclusive along the lines of Grotusque and Repugnus?

Probably good news for me since by the time I have enough money to collect again the Hasbro version will probably be all gone outside places like Ebay so the Takara one makes me a bit happy.

(If their a two pack, I can always give/sell my Grotesque to someone else who doesn't have one)

Oaky Takara. You got me. I'll be preordering Grotusque and Repugnus for sure. They will be expensive, but I think will be less so than the exclusive as balls Hasbro versions.

I think a large number of Prime collectors, like me, just breathed a huge sigh of relief. If we miss the HTS SDCC Throne of the Primes, we have another bit more expensive route we can take that still guarentees us the final Primes.

This is good to hear. I was worried I would never own a Throne of the Primes Optimus, and even if Takara's version does cost a little extra I don't mind all that much, I think it'll be worth it. Has anything been said about when PP-43 will be available? Or when pre-orders begin?

I have an open message to D-Max that I would like to share with all of you.

He said a little while back that Inferno was the best (or one of the best, I forget) voyagers from POTP. I didn't say anything but I clearly couldnt believe it. He is by far the laziest toy of the bunch since the only retooled element is his head. WEAK!

I wasnt gonna get him but when I saw him in the store, he looked fine. The head looked good, the colours too and thanks to coupons, I got him for -2$ (pretty much he cost $22 and my total order before buying him was $30 and I had a "save 25$ on an order over 50$" coupon so I bought him to save 2$ on what I was already buying).

And you know what? D-Max could be right. Maybe not the best (that probably goes to Hun Gurrr), but up there and better than Grimlock and the jets. He looks good as Inferno. And its not like Hotspot wears the mold better, the alt mode looks nothing like G1 for either of them so its fair game. the colours look great, that red is perfect. Very vibrant (better than the red used on the Classics Inferno). And it makes a cool red and white combiner torso. The plastic also feels better on Inferno than Hotspot and I like how they painted the light bar. It just works and it makes me enjoy the hot spot mold more than when Hot Spot was wearing it.

So yeah D-Max, I have no problems with Inferno. No even with the stickers. He looks good and feels good, and I dont think I need more than that.

Dang I was hoping to not need to get Inferno. I like the mold and need a version of Inferno. Might have to pick him up now....

Inferno is not a character I need to have filled in my roster, and absent the fantastic looking Generations figures I don’t have, I have been quite happy with their Energon counterparts for the time being. But I have been on the fence with the otP Inferno simply because I want an Inferno for my large Protectobot roster. I’mnot Sold on the torso colors though, so it may come down to whether he makes it to store shelves or not.

Yeah, I did say he was the best.

And I totally feel this. You all probably remember how frustrated I was with the whole idea of the figure.

But he's one of those figures where in hand, he kills. Will nails every point: while he's not "G1" Inferno with too much, he is a great Inferno, a Cybertronian version even, that feels better than any other version of the mold, makes 3 great molds, and fixes all the issues of the old takes.

Well said Will. I'm sort of glad it's not just me that find Inferno much better and worth it in hand.

They have...I think from the US site. Makes perfect sense!

That's what I did, as someone outside the us and it worked well. Amazons international shipping has been more affordable as of late.

If editor is reading, thank she for the tip!

And Kanrabat, trust me going the amazon.com route will be cheaper than getting LG X figures at 40$usd on BBTS

I want to get Inferno to turn him into a Magnificent Six (minus one) combiner with Jazz, Prowl, Wheeljack, and Sunstreaker.

Sabrblade wrote:I want to get Inferno to turn him into a Magnificent Six (minus one) combiner with Jazz, Prowl, Wheeljack, and Sunstreaker.

If I ever got Inferno, he will be combined with Ironhide, Lightspeed, Blades and Fireflight, going for the all red look.

And who is your 6th?

Would the orange Legends Wreck-Gar look good on Inferno in torso mode?

I actually convinced myself to pass on Inferno, because fat chance I'll see him in stores around me, but now that Willy J has given a glowing review in addition to D-Max, I might have to get him anyway.

None. I said "Magnificent Six (minus one)". Stampede was killed so the others are the five surviving members of the group. Silverbolt was implied to be a potential new member, but CW Silverbolt is another torso bot so he can't work with Inferno.

Not all of the combiners in my CW/UW/POTP combiner plans have a Legends class sixth member.

I feel that is lots of people's opinion. So I might do a quick review/editorial about showing the positive points on why he might be worthwhile for one's collection.

I'll jump on the "Inferno is awesome" firetruck band wagon!

It's nice they fixed that silly knee issue Pyra and G2 Onslaught had, among others I think. The colors do work great.
He makes a great voyager Inferno, and red and white torso works really good with lots of different limb bots.

He felt excessive and completiony until I opened him up and the fun began.

It's nice that everyone seems to think highly of Inferno, given that his POTP figure has had a bad rap since the Raffy Rodriguez leak.

Speaking of Inferno, who is every one planning to combine him with? Personally, I'm going with Swoop, Alpha Bravo, CW Strafe, and Dust Up.

Autobot N wrote:Speaking of Inferno, who is every one planning to combine him with? Personally, I'm going with Swoop, Alpha Bravo, CW Strafe, and Dust Up.

Jazz, Prowl, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker. Together with Inferno, they are the five surviving members... of the Magnificent Six!

Autobot N wrote:Speaking of Inferno, who is every one planning to combine him with?

No one. He was never a combiner.
#GrumpyOldGeeWunner

Autobot N wrote:Speaking of Inferno, who is every one planning to combine him with?

No one, he is perfect by himself. He and Sky Lynx shall be the 2 spare torsos that rock the awesomesauce by themselves. Elita might, if I decide not to combine her, Jazz, Wreck Gar, and the limb gals.

I already pretty much have Inferno as a torso already in Defensor (who is still my favorite combiner despite how good Abominus is, his torso mode detailing is great!) and I already have a case (Superion and Computron) of combiner torsos having the same head and chest, so He will remain as is.

Inferno is actually so good alone that I don't mind not having a team for him

Ya know, a reference like this might just be why they decided to do a Jazz and Inferno in this line, especially since they really are the odd 2 ducks out

Let's not forget that, unlike new-mold Jazz, Inferno was just an unused leftover from CW that they decided to just finally release in Potpie.

Having a real hard time finding pics of what people combined their Inferno with in this thread. Can anyone reply to this post with some?

Lone wolfs and doubles. I like the civil service vehicles. Maybe Trailbraker could get switched out.

I wanna try Sabr's Mag 6 idea though. That's a cool squad!

This image is not mine, but gives an idea of what I want to make out of an Inferno combiner (minus the third party feet):

Looks like Wreck Gar is finally up on Walgreen's website.

https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/trans ... 23-product

However, keep in mind, Walgreens online search for him in stores is going to likely tell you how many PotP deluxes total they have in stock, and not necessarily just Wreck Gar, even if you search just Wreck Gar's listing. This is how it was with Brainstorm. It does mean he should be showing up soon though.
