Just went back and got red alert (woo woo woo) no sign of the fallen or the deluxes

I'm proud of you Dick
Aside from the huge hands (which aren't that bad), they nailed it. And I assume the hands are like that so they can flatten out for the alt mode, for some reason.
it lives!
I guess the Megatron arm is kinda cool but I gotta be honest, it’s just stupid fluff that you’ll try out once and then forget about when the trailer, hands and articulation could have benefitted from actual upgrades.
They can still do a kit for that, but I guess they figured with how well sales of the comic are, that there was a justifiably large enough market to put this set out in.
A Bayverse version would be more interesting and fitting. Skybound really picked the most boring versions of the characters to do this concept.
Skybound isn't terrible but the robo-gore and fighting has gotten stale because it's gone on for too long with not much else happening . It reminds me of that hideously drawn IDW GI JOE vs Transformers book where the plot resembles children bashing their action figures against each other. I also found that book stupid.

I get the feeling they've already used up all the big ideas they had going into this. They wanted the license, they had just enough ideas to make a successful pitch, But they did everything right away and now they're figuring out where they want to go with it.
To be fair, if I were Hasbro, I'd have given it to any company who was able to come up with a halfway decent pitch over keeping the IP at IDW.
Found Red Alert at Walmart today, decided to buy it.
And then I didn't buy it because the cashier literally forgot to scan it, so I got it for free.

got my legs in. This set is really something else. The legs lock into position in no less than seven points and the combiner is damn stable. Painting the combiner toes green/purple though.
I think that will look good. Green for bonecrusher and purple for scavenger, or a combo of both on both? I can see either working.. but what were you thinking.
Purple for scavenger and green for Bonecrusher. It ends up more accurate in robot mode and in combined mode, G1 scavenger and bonecrusher treads were mirrored except for the purple/green respectively. Since the treads aren’t visible from the head on angle, I’d like to bring the symmetrical parts but different colors design choice back.
