"Paging Dr Toyhax, paging Dr Toyhax..."
I like how Road Ranger's just chilling in there still being a stand-in for Prime forty years later.
Big anniversary year.
40th anniversary of the franchise and G1 Optimus Prime is probably the iconic Transformers toy.
So good you had to say it twice.
Precisely I got him on my 8th?? Birthday cake he been with me ever since as a Prime stand in

I DO like the more muted yellow, but I like the brighter grey on the original. By and large, I appreciate the effort for a package refresh, but I don't see any need to get him. Good for those that missed him the first time around.

Not to mention there's that upcoming SS86 Commander class figure to still look forward to.
Stupid crummy airplane wifi.
Rubber tires are eh, if they really wanted to push the nostalgia buttons, chrome’s where it’s at.
Missing Link Convoy is the same height as the average Voyager toys of today.
The last Core Class wave for 2024, from Evan Brooks. Galvatron is expected and Geocron is a retool of Bouldercrash.

I always appreciate a differentiating head sculpt, so Geocron gets points for that. And I see the homaging to the Daira residents, nice touch. But I'm not sure the colors work all the way. LOVE the metallic purple, but the base brown just isn't jiving with me. I see the intention, but I'm not sure it completely works here.
I have to say I'm a little disappointed in Galvatron. Probably some personal bias (I have strong memories of the original Energon release and my hunt and finding him for the first and last time on clearance), but I was hoping for something more evocative of the US toy, not the diverging animation colors. They did a decent job replicating those colors for a $10-13 toy, however. And I skipped Megatron, so I'll probably end up with this one instead.

I'm all in on the Rock Lords. so I'll definitely be buying Geocron. I do kind of wish that they had gone with a color scheme that wasn't so similar to his mold-mate, though.
Yeah, I was trying to think of a color that might work and I think a dark purple for the base with metallic blue/teal would have popped. Something a bit Dark Energon, y'know?
