Oh thanks for the bump, it reminded me I need to change the shipping address for Omega Prime.

I know he's not getting released until some time next year but I don't wanna forget and then he ends up being shipped to my old house, which got sold.

I'm sure Hasbro would likely send a reminder for people to check their address is up to date, they done that with the past Haslab stuff

The more I see this set, the sadder I am that I didn’t have the funds to back it, because this is looking good!

Nice bonus Cerebrospinal too. Though it does make the absence of a Brave/Fortress Maximus more unfortunate.

Also, it’s weird to me that Hasbro Pulse UK still has a listing for Victory Saber, but absolutely nothing on Omega Prime at all.

"Now that we've disarmed the prisoners, we shall execute the Autobots at our leisure!"

-But what Galvatron didn't know was Ultra Magnus had a rocket launcher, a chain gun, and a Christmas Elf all shoved up his-

"Where is that narration coming from...?"

'Unmade Dukes of Hazard General Lee Crossover, we can't show him on camera, so we let him to the voiceovers..."

So, any way to get the cliff's notes version of what the new video reveals?

I'd love to spend an hour watching, but I only get 24 of those in a day, and a lot are already taken.

The complete transformations of each figure into all their modes and configurations, albeit as early preliminary non-painted test samples that will likely have additional changes made to them further down the production development.

- A lot of the transformation is unchanged from the original, but there are a few changes that overall make for a nice update. Stuff like more secure shoulder attachments on super mode Optimus, and more straightforward steps on Magnus.

- They beefed up Optimus' normal mode proportions a bit so that he looks fully proportional when all armoured up. This ends up giving his normal mode rather chunky thighs but it all works, imo.

- In a nice touch he's been designed and engineered so that you don't need to flip the end of his ladder up in combined mode since he's tall enough to not have to do that.

- Blue Bolt is now a Deluxe sized weaponizer and her own character, and she functions as gap fillers for Magnus when you break her apart.

- Magnus and Optimus can pull off the hand shaking pose and you can start the Omega Prime combination this way.

This was revealed back when the set was first announced.

Well I guess this video was just completely pointless then.

We got to see the intricacies of every transformation and combination, and how updated they are from the original toys. That is cool.

Did we know Blue Bolts was a lady before now?

*wavy hand gesture*

There's kind of a loooooong story behind that, but the exact reason why Evan switched from using they/them in the first half of the video to she/her in the second half is presently being looked into.

I think Bluebolts is a Christmas Elf who froze to death, was dismembered and eaten by a polar bear, and then reincarnated as a robot who can be torn apart into weapons so they can hunt down that bear and avenge their deaths.

-This is proven by the weird toes that clearly are elf shoes, and the fact that it's blue. Unfortunately, Polar Claw never made it to the Beast Wars revival, which caused the story line to remain forever incomplete.
