Russ was able to come back later to have some questions answered with Evan Brooks. In the second video we're shown that the tailer and cab do have a pivot between them making the full vehicle capable of turning and pivoting. Evan also confirmed that we'll be getting one combiner per year from here on. Evan also said that Ruination was a likely future box set, but also acknowledged that the Combaticons have a lot of repaint potential like Battle Gaia and that it would be a few years. Evan also still insists a Breakdown reissue is coming in the future.

Smaller than a voyager? Ugh. I know he comes with the frame and it looks good a s truck but Holy cow. Too small for the price.

What are you talking about? He's the same height as Soundwave and taller than Thundercracker. It's Optimus who's gargantuan.Cheetron wrote:Smaller than a voyager?

Onslaught looks really nice.
Can't wait to have him.
Already pre-ordered Blastoff and Brawl!.

Yep, Brawl and Blast Off were what I pre-ordered from this batch. $75 effing dollars for a Deluxe and a Voyager. $15 markup from a a month ago.

Underwhelming for Onslaught I was expecting a beast but he sorta looks half cooked and that vehicle mode looks like its from 15 years ago with all the exposed parts. After the excellent Menasor and Superion, Onslaught is definitely the weakest looking of the bunch.

Finally have the four limb-bots for Superion. Really dig them. Just gotta get Silverbolt now!
Flatline and Megatron arrived.
Megatron is superb. Engineering genius. Turret is a bit crap in tank mode and I ain't sold on the fusion cannon but neither detracts from that glorious robot mode at all. The transformation is sublime.
Flatline, I wanted because he's a Decepticon medic. We don't get those. Plus I want Red Alert (Just him for the original Armada trio with Prime & Hot Shot) and this figure has 100% sold me on him. Flatline looks amazing in the all black and red and the lightpiping for his eyes is savage! REALLY pleased with him. Great toy!

I agree that the robot mode is very well done. However, the cannon does detract from it, the front half is too short and the back half shouldn't look like a cylinder but more like a funnel. The tank mode is also acceptable, if far from perfect.Big Grim wrote:Megatron is superb. Engineering genius.

I am amused that for the Skybound Optimus, they got the Fusion Cannon perfect. But not for Megatron.
Yeah, the tank is fine. Main hull is very good. Turret, not so much.

Hate to break it to ya, but Megatron isn't an Age of the Primes toy.Big Grim wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I agree that the robot mode is very well done.

I'm aware, but, until this recent change of removing the greebling, that was largely semantics.
Flatline, however, is. As are the four Aerialbots. All mentioned in my post that started this particular conversation.

I'm too lazy to dig up the PotP thread.
So, regarding the PotP Titan Predaking reissue, is it worth getting, or it will be pointless because new molds à la SS86 Devastator will come out soon?

Could have posted in the news topic.
Personally, I think it was a poor choice to reissue. We know they'll be remaking him in the future plus there's the Adamas Machina version which is basically a Generation figure (large team leader and smaller limb bots) at a Masterpiece price point so there's other options. I think with Predaking and Nemesis a pencil pusher was looking at the current eBay prices rather than thinking ahead. And then to set both to release in the same time frame was really strange.
