Omega Prime seems to fit the clues so far. And I think is a pretty bad idea to the extent I'd be a bit concerned it wouldn't get funded. Hasbro aren't capable of making an Omega Prime as good as the original toy, so it's very hard to see what the appeal would be.

Stick a new head on that Sunstreaker and you've got a nice new Speedia resident. The wheels even kinda fit.

Kapow are roughly the UK equivalent of BBTS for non-UKers. They were the retailer for Haslab Unicron in Europe since Pulse didn't exist at the time, so this is a non-trivial thing. But I can't blame them - nothing Transformers is selling at full price any more for any retailer because they will...

A toy with painted windows is broken inside the box.

Given we probably won't get another one for twenty years I'm so sad about what a mess that toy is. Ugly painted windows and pram wheels 30% too big for the chassis. The current design team has obviously just given up on alt modes.

I know it doesn't literally need it but the effect is to look like it does, and it looks jive.

Eh, I think him not needing the tail to stand up properly and being a weird third leg is an improvement tbh.

SS Magnus is just night and day better than the Earthrise one in person. You wouldn't regret it at all. Motormaster is fine but honestly you're not going to get the best out of it without chasing down the other three Stunticons.

Ratchet. Ratchet is lovely, and is going to be a pain in the ass to get six months from now, and none of the others will.

Didn't stop them releasing Studio Series Soundwave or, well, the other Studio Series Soundwave.

I remain a bit grumpy about Hasbro UK once again completely cocking up delivery logistics.

Volumes 3 & 4 have just arrived for me, and include another (very much dropped and couldn't have fit with the actual ending they went with) idea that I remember from TMUK too, so it's interesting how more of this stuff was percolating in Roberts' brain at the time.

Tf's not doing especially fine, just insulated by the release year of ROTB being pushed into this year when most of the costs were last year. It's a pretty grim picture all round. The current product mix does not work, and Cock's increase ebit at all costs strategy has been a disaster that has...

That looks pretty neat, hopefully he will be available on the same basis as Selects are to specialist retailers.

Argos UK have Lego Optimus down to £80, and you can get another five off by signing up to their email newsletter. I highly doubt you'll do any better than that for this toy.

Well, we can quibble about neck or mouth, but irrespective I think it's pretty core to how his head looks and I don't think the IDW2 head giving him a mouth hit the mark.

Ehh, I'm kinda glad they didn't do that. A drone with Straxus's head floating in it is kind of neat, but it just looks far too mishmashy. If we'd have got that instead of a toy that actually looks like Straxus i'd have felt very disappointed. Also Straxus has a mouthplate. Please don't.

Sadly it does not appear this applies to the UK - we've had no shipping confirmation emails and the unboxing email refers to "early next year".

In the UK Nemesis is on this, as are the War Dawn and Sniper 2 pack sets, which are pretty good discounts (especially if you have Pulse Premium). In-Demand Toys also has Nemesis down to £130 (RRP is £219 in the UK), Metroplex down to £89.99, the Buzzworthy Troop Builder pack down to £48...

FWIW the main Nezha toy is constantly getting advertised at me on Facebook from Temu.
