New Video Review of Kingdom Tricranius Blast Effects Pack

If it wasn't for the $16.99 price, they would just be cancelled.

My Ractonite says it'll be here by 10pm today, but hasn't actually shipped out. My Airrazor and Ultra Magnus actually have shipped out and I got a notice from UPS that they'll arrive today. No idea why they're so inconsistent.

Nice, my Ractonite is in Pulse limbo. Hopefully he'll come soon

Well, I did just order him like 2 days ago after he'd been in stock for a while (though I've been waiting for him at BBTS for a while, so I guess it still counts)

Ah that makes more sense Well, let us know what you think. I feel I'm in a minority on thinking Ractonite blows but I find that odd. I think he's objectively a really weak design with being the first deluxe in the WFC trilogy to not have proper hands with fist holes.

Do you think Wheeljack will become a dark horse thirst trap just like Dr. Fauci?

The cab on my Huffer looks pretty straight to me...

I didn't experience that flaw in the design. My main issue was the visible hands that the renders hid.

I was really hoping that Hasbro realised the final product of BWII Skywarp is just a saturated Airazor with white accents and dropped him. Earth Sideswipe sounded good from the leaks and was looking forward to him, but now I'm reconsidering since I really don't need a second nearly identical Airazor clogging up space. Nightprowler was easily convincing me to get the Two-pack since I've always loved Nightprowler's mystique and deco. Hopefully he's a Selects now?

Personally it could be interesting if this was a BW interpretation of G1 Skywarp: a purple hawk with white accents.

I am beyond **** confused now, since we have another listing for a two pack of deluxe sideswipe and nightprowler

JTprime17 wrote:1: this set has the same EAN, ASIN and Hasbro product number as the set on Amazon AU.
That’s how I looked this up in other Amazon’s systems.

2: Amazon DE, IT, FR, UK, NL, and ES have this set labeled as Sideswipe and Skywarp.
Amazon AU is the only one to label it as Sideswipe and Nightprowler.

That’s all I have to share about it.

Apparently, according to JTprime17 over at TFW, the guy that's on top of stuff re: actual store listings, on this new confusion about "Sideswipe & Nightprowler" vs. "Sideswipe & Skywarp":

Man and to think that just last year, Deep Cover was only one random redeco we once got. Now he's the most common toy I see on shelves when I do my groceries.

I remember when it was Clampdown that everyone wanted, he even got an MP. Hasbro seems to really like Deep Cover for some reason.

I'm buying this set regardless, but I'd rather have Nightprowler than Skywarp. Though I guess it's also possible there's a third set with Nightprowler and someone else, maybe earth mode Deep Cover?

There have been no fewer than 2-3 each time I've gone to Target the last 2-3 weeks.
Also, a couple of Raconites have been on a peg for the least week and a half.
Both Huffer and Airaizor are constantly here and gone soon after.

Are people thinking that however this/these 2 pk(s) play-out that Sideswipe is guaranteed to be an ER version?
Just almost seems a bit odd to me that if it is, that this mold didn't come out sooner and get used for Deep Cover, a Gen Selects G2 version, etc.
Which I'm sure can still happen...
I guess Hastak probably has plans to milk both versions dry.

I'm probably going to get murdered for this, but I posted that on April 1st so people would see it as a joke. Unfortunately, I have never intentionally lied to any of you. Plans can change, and I really hope they do, because otherwise this is going to suck.

I'd agree with you, but his wording is so weird that I can't tell if that's what he meant.

It sounds like an April Fools joke until the last sentence.

Actually, this sounds intriguing to me. I don't really need another semi truck Optimus, I'd be down for a heavy armored Optimus if it doesn't mean instead a skinny Bulkhead.

Yes, he's really good, really heavy too.


The transformation however si a a bit annoying and cumbersome. But both modes are really solid.

I adore mine too. However, how hard and tight the waist connect for either modes is really scary when transforming.

I'm already expecting all early reviewers to complain about Wingfinger being skinny / abnormally proportioned, but honestly that's a plus for me (adds variety).
