1) That was spoiler text, so, rude.

Whoops, sorry. I think that must have gotten lost in the quoting or me digging up pictures or something.

Uh, late, but fixed now? I think?
And, 2) Dafoe's line was "I'm something of a scientist, myself."

Yeah, I know, but it still came to mind when I read it, so I just followed my instinct and worked with what I've got.
I think the best option would be to cut out the second one just below the shoulders to overlay it on the first one's background. 😁

Man, that Prime Changer Sentinel's jet mode is so much nicer than the Voyager.
Just in general…

I’m REALLY impressed by the Prime Changers. They aren’t super complicated, and while they make compromises to accuracy, they “get the point across“ perfectly fine. For being just $5 less than the “Deluxe” price point, aside from size, I’m not sure we are really losing that much In the final product. They are certainly better than where the Warrior price point has resulted in since the end of RiD15.

I remain monumentally impressed that Hasbro bothered to sculpt and deco the fingers on OP’s Energon axe, a detail many more expensive products are skipping.
Definitely feeling the Nominus Prime possibilities. But the Prime Changer is a good looking mold too so I hope to get that in other colors. It's a good unique jetbot look.
From the code named listings, I THINK the only figure left for Prime Changers is Megatron. But I’d be SHOCKED if we didn’t get a Starscream retooled from Sentinel Prime.

It's definitely an unlikely thing considering they've largely died out with, what, AOE, barring some surprises in Studio Series. But imagine how cool a Cyberverse Seekers 4-pack style (not those colors, just a bundle of 4) cluster of Prime Changer Sentinel Prime redecos would be.

Also I guess the Prime Changers are reminiscent of the ROTB core Deluxes more than the older Warrior namesakes. I just wish the character selection had been more varied (but understand why we're getting what we're getting).

Now that “preproduction/cut scene” stuff is on the table for Studio Series toys…
Rampage was almost included in Rise of the Beasts, even got a rough 3D model.

It’s conceivable that we could get a Studio Series Rampage before he appears in Generations…

Now I want a Studio Series Rampage

I just want a good Steelbane. I don't even care about the character (still haven't bothered to watch TLK, but bit characters in the movie tend to just be set pieces anyway), I just like the dragon knight look, but the previous figure is notoriously floppy. Give me one that actually holds together in both modes.

Some Target Exclusive SS releases in these listings.

WFC Optimus Variant
WFC Megatron Variant
Devastation Wheeljack
Devastation Sideswipe

Also worth noting is that the listing for the second wave of “A-Level” deluxe figures featured a “Dev Optimus Prime”. With the listings for Wheeljack and Sideswipe, that pretty well confirms we’re getting a new deluxe Optimus Prime (probably more cartoon inspired) next year with TFOne SS Bumblebee.
My cynical side is saying that those two WFC variants are just going to be fancy deco versions of those characters to go with the other Devastation releases slated for next year.

With all this attention to Devastation, I wonder if this means Hasbro and Microsoft have squared up the rights for the game to get some sort of rerelease?

If the WFC variants are Darkside that'd be awesome.

It may be good to get even a Kingdom Sideswipe redeco, even if it's in the usual "cel shading threw up on me" style Devastation implies (I forget if the drones look like that). That Earth mode figure could stand to be more widely available.

I mean it's pretty clear they mean they just wanted the sticker for the outside of the trailer and not have to pay $20 for a two stickers they wanted and then a bunch they wouldn't use.

I want a proper G2 trailer with the soundbox and cannons. Somehow it never happens.

I could pass on the actual sound chip, but make it open into a pile of missiles or something for that extra G2 90's edge and I'd be down.
