Japanese Video Review for Transformers Earthrise Dirge and Ramjet

Coneheads! Will consume mass quantities!

Maybe we'll get lucky, and there will be an early running change to the Coneheads that amends the cockpits.
Or better yet, a proper release that amends the cockpits.

I don't know that I'd say they look better. I don't know that I'd say I like them that color... But in the grand scheme, they're sure as shizz not a deal-breaker.

Well to each our own, I guess. I like them better because I think the white clashes too much with the dark colors of the chests, and because the OG seekers also have orange cockpits abd this way they match. Just looks better to me when they're all together. But it's just my choice, if you like white or clear cockpits, that's your choice.

I too preffer the idea of all of them having similar coloured cockpits to create a uniformity among the decepticon ranks.

I don't mind the Coneheads' cockpits being orange, but I think I slightly prefer them being white/clear (in addition to all the other subtle differences that Hasbro actually put in the effort to include this time, different chest, different knees, etc.) to further differentiate the Coneheads from normal Seekers, because they already feel like a different type in some ways, like maybe heavies or special forces or something.

Sorry if my response came across as harsh...
Individually I think clear would’ve looked great. But I agree to make all 6 look more cohesive, I have no problem with them being Yellow-Orange.

I said it before and I'll say it again, I wish all WFC exclusives went to Amazon. It's such a night and day difference in experiences. Even Walmart isn't that bad. For the Coneheads I just had to go to Amazon and order them, couldn't be easier and they're still available. But the Target Seekers, forget it! Still haven't shown up in my local store and I got THREE emails this morning telling me they were in stock on Target.com. But was I able to buy one?



NOPE! The first time I got all the way to the very end to finalize my order, but then got an error and it was removed from my cart. Clearly they did have more and could have completed my order because they went back into stock shortly after, all three within an hour and half. But the next two times I couldn't even get past the big red order button.



This set has really become a lesson in frustration. Hopefully these show up in the local store soon, I do see they've finally shown up in MA so at least they're in New England now.

His bot and jet modes though are on point. I'd have to say I think Apeface is the better figure. For all the complaints about his plastic, I really like it. When you pick him up you can feel he's a solid figure, has some weight to him.
Still, I love them both and I'm excited to have them!

Nice! I eagerly await seeing Snapdragon in a store! Insta-purchased!

Yeah I was really surprised to find him today. I had just gone to Target to see if anything new was out, and of course there wasn't. And for some reason, my gut told me to check out Walmart in the next town over, and there he was! Made my day for sure!

Scored a Sky Lynx at Target today! Damn, he is majestic
