HasLab Victory Saber

[Platypus Prime]

I can't criticize anyone, in my own mental canon Rumble and Frenzy swap colors every so often, or just paint themselves both purple, without mentioning it to anyone just to mess with everybody. Rumble and Frenzy are jerks (RAFAJ).

I even made a comic to that effect.

Next debate: God Ginrai was red and blue, but Victory Leo is YELLOW...(GGWRABBVLIY)? I saw the backstory between the two on TFWiki and I have to admit I never realized they were supposed to be related.

 

[Sabrblade]

Victory Leo's toy bio also mentions the backstory of his having been God Ginrai before being rebuilt.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

As for Frumble, I came up with a poem for that some time ago:

"Toy Rumble is red
Cartoon Rumble is blue
Which of these is Correct
Depends on your point of view."

New video update today. Scrubbed through it with audio off, looking forward to it, apparently it has some issues that the next sample is supposed to fix. Anyone wanna place a wager on a release date?

 

[Blot]

These early factory sample video reviews are getting out of hand, shake my head...

 

[Robogeek1973]

Still smaller than I would've liked.

Oh well.

December at the earliest is my guess!

 

[Octavius Prime]

Apparently the wings/shoulder cannons for the combined mode can be attached to other figures like ER. Optimus. It really gave him a vibe similar to the super mode from Animated!

Also, the sword blade is molded in a nice transparent blue, similar to a lot of the Legacy toys, and I actually wish they would leave it like that or include both a silver blade and clear blue one.

 

[LordGigaIce]

I'm psyched.

 

[Steevy Maximus]

Oh, hey! The initial paint deco for Earthrise Optimus Prime slipped in there . I still miss those yellow eyes…

 

[Superomegaprime]

With the sword blade, I hope for a non transparent, thou it looks kind of short, but then maybe any short comings will hopefully be minor or could be made up by third party!

He mentions that while it's molded in translucent plastic, it will be painted silver.

 

[Superomegaprime]

He mentions that while it's molded in translucent plastic, it will be painted silver.

They might include that sort of thing to be like the times he powered up the blade in the anime

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Little bummed the you can't store the sword blade in his back, and that victory leo doesn't have a waist swivel, but beyond that it looks pretty good.

 

[Platypus Prime]

I find it on some level absolutely halarious that not only did Hasbro beat the 'stolen proto' reviewers to the punch on this one, they even stole their format. It's like a bizarre unintentional parody of the leakers and it's wonderful.

He’s a whopper alright!

When’s the shuttle coming? I want to watch it land.

 

[Platypus Prime]

Which version? This thing has FOUR possible shuttle modes...?

 

[Sabrblade]

The one with the hole in the side, hijacked by Decepticons armed with instant-kill blasters.

 

[unluckiness]

Hope they make sure that the white is resistant to yellowing
