Iād like it a little better if it was black like my actual FJ š¤£
When I first bought my FJ I suddenly remembered they did these back in 2012 or ā13. @tfwiki.net only mentioned red, white and yellow variants, so for me to find a āblackā (green) one surprised me

As far as Onyx Prime goes, I can see them doing the orange from the box art as the standard version, then doing a black and blue repaint as the IDW2005 version of the same character. Might could happen with Prima too, hoping for a more TF One-inspired head š¤

You said theyāre Siege/Netflix/Legacy Soundwave compatible, right?

Iād agree with Prime. That was really the last time I was excited for a main line supported by media. RID15, Cyberverse, and Earthspark just aināt it for me. I gave them all honest college tries, but always ended up selling them all off š

Big sad, but Iām still gunna get them

Must be misremembering things on my end then, couldāve sworn they were closer in height to Earthrise Ironhide, which was considered a tall Deluxe back when he released
comment in response to

Maybe a typo and forgot the remaining .5? If not, half an inch really isnāt that big a deal, especially given Starscreamās wingspan. 5.5ā is roughly tall Deluxe/Voyager size, so if they have Voyager heft and height, $60 for two of them is better than the current $35 per Voyager

You know they will, theyāre just biding their time. With Trypticon 2.0 ushering in a new age of Gen Selects, Iām expecting it to go there as Gen Selectsā first Commander entry, either as Powerlinx colors or Nemesis Prime colors. Either way, I want it, thatās how much I fkin love Legacy Armada Prime

Iām glad I donāt care for BWN, otherwise Iād probably have gone for this guy

Heās pretty solid, IMO. Better than Earthrise Prime, definitely feels like a budget MP44. Mine had an issue where the panel that holds his neck and head didnāt want to fold down all the way for alt mode so I had to dremel it down some

I was just about to say, if it werenāt for the gorilla arms I wouldnāt have waited for Kingdom Galvatron to have happened for as long as I did

Or I guess the other way around.

No kidding, Iām really not much of a smoker but Cyclonus here would call me a liar š¤£ that said, if Hasbro comes out tomorrow announcing a hypothetical SS86 Cyclonus thatās 1:1 with the Kingdom guy but slightly tweaked to address the yellowing, Iād be one of the first in line to get it š¤£

Yes, SS86 corrects the goofed up shoulders from the Kingdom version. Which is great for me, Iāve been stuck with the Kingdom version after all this time and I didnāt care enough to get the Legacy version, which didnāt do enough for me. SS86ās animation accurate purple was enough for me to upgrade!

Forgot to mention, you get 50 of them for $23, and sometimes they throw in a bonus unique stand for shits and giggles

I swear by these. I exclusively buy these stands, 95% of all my 6ā figures work great with these. And you get a good bunch of them for a great price!

I got three of these. Theyāre significantly better than Barricade, and their alt modes are surprisingly beefy!

I prefer the 86 colors over the Kingdom colors. Big fan of the bluer purple!

Actually the weather was pretty tame for us last month. I wore my battalion cap the entire time and felt fine.
Now during the summer? Fuck that noise all the way to the sun, Iād rather be in full battle rattle in the New Mexico desert with no AC like good olā days than summer time Orlando šš»

Oh right, I forgot they used the hammer fella as the Wreckersā hammer/Solusās lil buddy. Could still be on the table then, but I wouldnāt be surprised in the slightest if they ended up using the simplified ones for 1) budget reasons and 2) consistency with Needlenose and Quake
comment in response to
post
This is Hasbro weāre talking about. Weād be lucky if it was the Siege ones, but I wouldnāt put it past them to downgrade and use the same base Targetmasters that came with Needlenose and Quake

If itās any consolation, I was *this* close to buying an X-Wing flight helmet and wearing it around the park all day, but $80 when I was already dead set on the Buzz and Zurg was a tough pill to swallow šŖ
