We have two Transformers themed SDCC 2024 reveals for you today. Firstly, we have a 2 pack with Optimus and Megatron called Fractured Friendship. This has Gladiator Megatron using the Siege mold (the miner variant we got last year) and Orion Pax using a retool of the the SS Gamer Edition Optimus Prime mold. This 2 pack is $74.99 USD. We also have a reveal of the exclusive Marvel Legends Death's Head. He is priced at $39.99 and is the standard Marvel Legends size. While these are exclusives, they should also be available on Hasbro Pulse to premium members (and non members if not sold out).

There are more exclusives, like Cobra Commander, which IGN revealed today: https://www.ign.com/articles/hasbro-sdc ... ers-gi-joe

The 2 pack looked kind of good. But then whoops, Prime has the massive backpack with 2 wheels. No thank you. Not worth the price. Last sdcc exclusive I bought was Universe Nemesis Prime (2008) Wow, I'm old lol

That Miner Megatron repaint is very bleh. The original with Reprolabels looks much, much better.
However, that heavy retool of Gamer Optimus is brilliant. A shame that the thighs are still hollow. Plus the back of the truck is sure to be a big void.

Overall, that's an easy skip.

The GE Optimus Prime the retool is good enough - not perfect (which the thighs got retooled as well), but good enough.

Megatron is just lazy. I like my Siege Megatron well enough (unless the upcoming SS86 Megatron blows me away, it'll probably stay as THE Megatron on my CHUG shelf), and I don't mind getting a Miner Megatron. But the mold is badly designed from the get-go with the loose ankle tilts and hip joints. And the successive reuses just made those figures even more of a floppy mess. So, naaaaaaaaaaaaah...

Might want the set if it's discounted, but I don't need it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - Siege Megatron mold again? Is there no escape from it? It was fine the first couple of times, but yeesh - what is it on now, eight? Ten?

Man Prime has had so many great figures in the last two years and Poor Megatrong gets… a bubblegum hammer.

That may be my favorite Pre Earth Prime mode so far though and it reinforces my opinion that I would love to see Prime go to a Box Truck style rather than a trailer so he can get the right look and still be a Voyager price point.

Always nice to see Death's Head get more ML love, and I guess they had to go with the look he had for most of his interactions with the greater Marvel Universe, but I'd LOVE to have his original green design in this scale for better TF storyline reenactments. Could be a nice, cheap remold someday.

Still getting this one, of course.

Going to try get both. Really like the way Prime turned out, Megatron is fine, and it'll be nice to have a Death's Head that can stand up to Transformers.

I think it's ten if not closer to twelve...
The SS86 version can't get here soon enough.

I like this OP figure, but I'm definitely passing until/unless it gets a solo release, and even then he'll be a "maybe".

I do have to wonder if this is a discarded Amazon exclusive since it's clearly a sequel to last year's sets.

Any idea who's on the wanted posted?

Megs by the Dozen!

I know a lot of people are curious about SS86. I'm pretty sure it wont be any of these, especially being a Leader class. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Heavy HEAVY retool of the SS concept design BB Movie version (especially with hidden Gun Mode)

We have in hand images of the upcoming SDCC exclusive 2 pack featuring IDW inspired Orion Pax and Gladiator Megatron. The most telling of these images are the comparisons. While Orion Pax is a retool of the SS GE WFC Optimus Prime mold, it is significantly bigger. Not only that, but he doesnt have that gapping hole in his backside. While we can see the similarities to the original mold, these pictures show just how extensive the retooling is.
Unlike other sets, this isn't one where you can wait for a discount, as it will sell out quickly due to its limited nature. Will you be getting it?

I can't believe we have that many uses of the same mold(s) and not a single figure based on the original concept art/Marvel comics design. Maybe in studio series.

Oh man... I wasn't very interested at first because I was worried it would be too short... but now I'm super interested...

If anyone here is going, would you be willing to hook me up with these exclusives? I'd be willing to work out a deal if you're able to DM me.

I can't believe that Prime with all that extra tooling will only be available in some exclusive set. If I didn't know better I'd say it looks like a Generation Oneified version of RID 2015 Optimus Prime.

I wish they could have released these two as singles. I'm interested in Optimus but not that Megatron mold. However, I really do not like those WFC design thighs on Optimus. The set is an easy pass.

I'm the opposite. I'll gladly take that Megatron, but don't care for the Prime. But if I get him, Megatron will definitely get a fusion cannon in place of the drill.

That Optimus is a great retool, I will get that!

The 2 pack with Optimus and Megatron called Fractured Friendship is now available on Pulse. This has Gladiator Megatron using the Siege mold (the miner variant we got last year) and Orion Pax using a retool of the the SS Gamer Edition Optimus Prime mold. This 2 pack is $74.99 USD and the link is below. It should be available on the other Pulse sites as well.

While I'd really like that Prime, I don't care for Megatron (like I suspect 80% us feel) but I'd get it on the cheap.

I DID order myself a Death's Head though!

I feel this.

I also ordered one. I never got the Megatron/Ratbat so the retool is new to me [such that it is] and I think I only have 2 of that base mold so far, but it’s really only Prime I am excited for

Oh, so these were available then? When I tried to order him everything but the TF 2 pack (which I got) says "coming soon" and available for pre-order Tuesday at 11am EST. I guess they're spreading out the orders, Monday was available now and Tuesday will be pre-orders for a later date?

I did, yes. Even got the email that it's dispatched today.

I see it's sold out now on Pulse UK. That's kinda crazy.

I got my set. I also got Death's Head!

Not sure why the complaints on price, 2 voyagers is $35 x 2 = $70, and Prime has been heavily retooled and quite frankly made larger, so the extra $5 to me is justified there.

The price is relatively standard, not much of a premium. It just looks expensive because most of us only want half its content

So I was able to get Death's Head ordered. I then thought I'd try for Cobra Commander since the front page said he was available for pre-order and I love the movie and they'll probably never do this again... but as of 11:05am he was sold out. Damn that was fast! I don't really care about missing out, but I'm surprised it was gone faster than the front page could update so soon after the pre-order sales started.

You can add the high shipping cost for non-premium members, then the exchange rate, then the taxes for us Canadians...

The shipping is all that is different from any release here.

Also, didnt Pulse change to have a cheaper flat rate shipping for Canadians since November?

That, I didn't check.

Still, most Pulse exclusives find their way at GameStop Canada eventually, or at some other independent stores at a regular price.

Also, everything that is remotely interesting at Pulse get insta-sold out, no matter if you're Premium or not.

Really, the only thing that is truly worth it at pulse, IMO, are the HASLAB, who are truly exclusive.

Death's Head arrived today and the whole package is pretty gorgeous, with lovely art on the side panels. I'm kinda tempted to leave him in box and I rather regret not picking up two when I had the chance.

i think he will go on my Wreckers shelf

Thanks to ToySnowman I managed to get two more Death's Heads. One to keep in box and another to potentially convert into his original armour. What a fantastic figure he is!
