He's made of lava and comes with blast effects up the wazoo, easy preorder (plus the blast effects allow me to rationalize him as being $20 + blast effects, I don't understand why these other Deluxe listings are saying $23 again).

That one took me a second to understand, but I think he just meant the AIR Lock connector that's there like Prime's trailer. If it's something else though, then that'd be interesting to see

Deluxes have had another price hike, they are now $23 (and $33 in Canada)

Yeah, I remember hearing that was a thing...and then it seemingly only lasted for one wave, because Wave 2 Kingdom Deluxes, Selects Deep Cover & Transmutate, and the most recent Studio Series Deluxes went up everywhere at normal Deluxe price, and yet now we're back to this again. If they're gonna increase the prices for seemingly no reason, at least be consistent about it.

Did the centurion drone pack run out quick?

Yes, Order it now, you will not find it any cheaper and the drone sets ran out really quick, and only came back in stock once, which also sold out quick I believe.

Thank you!!! Is it only available on pulse?

I think you're forgetting how his car mode looked in the cartoon:

Maybe there's someone out there who wants the blast effects but not the figure you can split it with?

I thought pterodactyls had tails while pteranodons do not. Looks more like a pteranodon, granted the crest isn't that big.

I didn't watch the end of the presentation so this is second hand information, but I saw a decent amount of people on TFW mention that the end of the presentation talked about a Fan First Friday in May. Good chance we see the Studio Series Dinobots there

Wingfinger is definitely a pterodactyl (pterodactyl is Latin for 'wing finger', after all), a Pteranodon, and possibly even a female Pteranodon at that (due to the small head crest versus the generally larger crests you see on a typical Pteranodon).

Think of pterodactyl as a common name for all pterosaurs in general. To keep it simple....pterosaurs generally fall into two groups: rhamphorynchoids and pterodactyloids. The rhamphorynchoids are typically the ones with long tails (though not always) and teeth, while most pterodactyloids have short tails, and (in the case of the more advanced\derived species) are toothless.

So far to my knowledge, all Transformer toys\characters with pterosaur alt-modes are pterodactyloids, as pretty much all of them are based on Pteranodon (the exception being Beast Machines Skydive). Although...War for Cybertron Pteraxadon can be made to look much like a rhamphorhynchoid, if the axe handle is pulled out to act as a tail in pterosaur-mode.

But isn't a Pterodactyl also a specific genus with a single species?

Love this detailed alt-mode explanations, thanks
