Mayhem Transformers Discussion: United We Shelfwarm

[unluckiness]

The core bot is a solid, simple design that looks great and has enough articulation to do Ginyu Force poses and that plays up the modularity aspect to its maximum, I don't mind them getting use out of it, though I wish they’d release something about their Night Raven seeker or Hungrr. That said, I can understand if they need the easy remolds/repaints to build up capital after the extra-terrible last couple years in China.

Also, are those Hasbro ramp connectors on the boxes/ramps? That'd be really cool.

mold it in white and put the prime head back on it and I'll buy it as Nova Prime... I don't need a winged Scourge ..well besides the space boat

 

[Copper Bezel]

My first thought seeing it was "oh, they're getting both evil Optimus Primes in one" but considering how many other colorways and variations that mold has, I think it's pretty much guaranteed that's the predeco and there's a white one coming.

 

[Destron D-69]

well good... 18 versions in and they'll have finally made one for me... >_> though i did buy the upgrade set for white combiner Prime so I don't really need a 2nd 3p Nova... they'll need to do something else with the vehicle mode to impress me.. filling it out with 4 useless boxes isn't really cutting it

 

[CoffeeHorse]

This is my favorite version so far. The deco isn't particularly interesting but it's exciting to see a third party so fully embrace Diaclone Reboot. I want to see more of that.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

I love a good Nemesis Prime, and this is my favorite-looking version of the mold yet. But being over $200, plus being based around interaction with a line I don't collect, means I have little reason to go for it.

 

[unluckiness]

Not enthused by the Nemesis Prime colors but I wouldn't hate it if it was the version I end up with. I've grown to dislike white plastic over the past few years and it's a really nice albeit overused color scheme.

I don't know why Optimus usually tugging around a big box doesn't wow me but this guy carrying around four smaller boxes is somehow more interesting. Also, keeping the ED209 around as a backpack

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

I don't care for trailers and trailer-adjacent boxes in general unless they form part of a Super Mode. If all they do is spread open and take up shelf space, they go in a drawer to get out of the way.

I feel like this color scheme should be familiar, but I'm not quite sure. I'm thinking Nightwatch Optimus Prime from the 07 movie line.

Classic Miku colors (minus the pink) XD

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Kawaii is the right of all sentient beings.

 

[Destron D-69]

that's the colours of the non-scourge black convoys who get called nemesis prime... I think the armada bendy-prime was the first who had the brown added... unless that was big black convoy the mammoth with the bloody tusks

 

[unluckiness]

The pink truck window and the pattern on the pecs say it’s supposed to be Scourge though the homage is a bit weak given the base mold’s lack of particularly scourgey details.

 

[Princess Viola]

Seems fitting that the first place I saw Studio Series GAMER Edition toys was at GameStop.

 

[unluckiness]

wonder if they’ll get around to FOC Dinobots or Bruticus or if the game subseries is just a filler thing.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Don't think I need another FoC Bruticus when I still have the G2 version, but if they remold it as the Wreckers again, I might be interested.

 

[Copper Bezel]

They're still working on their SS86 Dinobots, Swoop hasn't been shown yet. I'd tend to guess they're not aiming to invest as much in the Problem With Cybertron games. But if they start doing threep memes I'll laugh.

 

[Destron D-69]

when they do another devestator that'll be 3p'n

 

[unluckiness]

They did another Menasor just because CW Menasor was so bad. I can see them making another Devastator that's less gigantic a few years down the line. They'll also be out of relevant character in a couple of lines.

They're still working on their SS86 Dinobots, Swoop hasn't been shown yet. I'd tend to guess they're not aiming to invest as much in the Problem With Cybertron games. But if they start doing threep memes I'll laugh.

If they intend to keep making game toys, they'll have to start stepping on 3P toes eventually. The games didn't have a big cast

Don't think I need another FoC Bruticus when I still have the G2 version, but if they remold it as the Wreckers again, I might be interested.

I'd be satisfied with a new Onslaught that happens to be backwards compatible. The limb guys aren't great but they're good enough while onslaught fails all three modes.

 

[Destron D-69]

I'd like a na release of ruination. They could even do the store exclusive repaints from universe again if they wanted. Scourge needs his goons
