And hopefully people who don't have Targets can find him in their country.

I'm pretty certain we are, it was leaked in a Target listing, and I cannot see them making 2 of the wreckers and not the 3rd (screams for a Hatchet already)

Wait, WHAT!?!?!

Yep!

I’m not sure if Target has a price guarantee though because that’s sure to get fixed sometime soon.

Well, I guess I'll be the turd in the punch bowl and say that I don't like Sentinel. That character deserves a leader class figure. This voyager seems too small and simple. The only things I like are the sharp red and that he has a movie-accurate chest. That's the only thing missing on the DoTM leader figure.

I never started collecting the Constructicons either, because I think that Devastator is a hideous mess.

I really like Cliffjumper, reminds me of the Generations repaint of WFC Bee.

Blitzwing will be a pass, as much like Shockwave and Megatron in DoTM, he was horribly mistreated in the Bee movie. He should have been the main villain instead of 2 no-names.

I hate to say it, but Studio Series seems to have run out of steam for me. WW2 Hot Rod was the last figure I got and I was thoroughly disappointed.

Wouldn't leader Class be too big for the character scale wise? I liked the new characters in the bee movie.

The mistake must have come through at Hasbro level then if both Amazon and target listed at that price

I don't think so, I think amazon just price matched Targets price since Amazons is shown has being 50 but marked down to 30. While Targets is just straight 30. Overall I am happy to get overload for 30!

It doesn't look as small and simple as the 2011 Voyager. The problem with making Sentinel a Leader-class in this line is that Optimus is a Voyager in this line, so Sentinel would end up dwarfing him. Sentinel is taller than Optimus in the film, but not to Grindor levels. Mind you, that does still make him a pass for me, because the ROTF Leader Optimus is still my primary movieverse Optimus... The scale shift has made a lot of Studio Series a pass for me.

In fairness, ROTF Devastator is supposed to be hideous. Paramounts demands for some level of physics realism ruled out a humanoid design, so the designers purposely went for a horrifically ugly animalistic nightmare mashup monstrosity.

I am interested in the Constructicons. It helps that I like them even just as Movicon rank-swellers, and that some of them have size increases or other improvements compared to their ROTF toys (and others like Overload never got full-size toys at all). I would have been interested even without the Devastator combo. Well, except with regards to Long Haul.

I disagree with you about Megatron in DotM. It's still his villainy that ultimately drives the plot. Sentinel taking the reins makes sense because Megs is still reeling from his injuries at the end of ROTF while Sentinel is fresh as a daisy after a jolt from the Matrix, which impacts the balance of power between them. Megatron does take his own back when he realizes what's happened, and he and Optimus have what amounts to a decent final throwdown if you take into account that they're both cripples at that point. IMO Megatron gets a better deal in DotM than he does in, say, the Marvel comics.

He brought up DotM as a comparison.

So we can have Cybertron in Earth's orbit (twice) without any Earth-destroying consequences, but not a humanoid Devastator?
