Well, I was wrong, Pointblank/Blanker is NOT a Counterpunch remold, or if it is, it's been reworked enough to hide any trace I can see. Though this being the internet, I don't think I'm allowed to admit being wrong so instead I will say it's clearly a remold of Combiner Wars Silverbolt who at the time was disguised as Counterpunch who was Shockwave the whole time who was part of the grammar police to prevent curse words from being used in Transformers and that's why he's called "Blanker".

Also, NICE fire effect!

So he's a fully organic dragon this time. A Transmetal without the metal. 😜

Honestly Skullgrin is the most interesting of these reveals to me
You don't see a head like that on a transforming robot every day

Crankcase is good for a Scavengers collection(I'm sad that I ended up missing all of their recent updates during my hiatus), but kinda boring otherwise

I like TM2 Megatron's more show accurate meaty chest, but leaders don't really fit my budget

Alpha Trion/Orion Pax is a must have. Please be under $100…

a bargain at $66.99! Since I already have a pretty good Orion Pax (wrong alt mode, but a good robot) I probably wouldn't have bought him by himself, but I've been wanting a good Alpha Trion forever, and I like the extra accessories as well, so I'll definitely be buying if possible.

Well, he's not really Transmetal 2 either, so...

He is in the toy universe!

"Blanker" (lmao) looks pretty good, hits all the design points I wanted. I hope he comes with a gun though... Dead End is meh (those feet!) but I'll be getting him to complete the set. Crankcase and Skullgrin might be passes for me, I'll need to see more photos.

Dragon Megatron looks pretty bad in the slideshow pic, but looks a lot better in the box photo. Still probably a pass for me, but I might get the inevitable Cyrotek repaint if it looks good.

The "A Hero is Born" pack looks amazing, can't believe I never thought about how well that Scourge mold would fit for Alpha Trion. That said, he's not one of my faves and I have negative interest in Orion Pax, so likely a pass too.

I think I'll pick up Megs, even if I do have some doubts about the leader class and gimpy arm. I don't dislike Crankcase and Skullgrin but the price hikes make me more wary of buying novelties.

What is a blanker.

Those dragon claws on Megatron's chest don't look like fake kibble. Neat. I want one and I want a Beast Machines remold.

"Blanker" is another "Titans Return Octane/Octone" situation wherein Hasbro is using the Japanese name instead of the English one.

I hope this Megatron has a weird transformation. The original is gloriously weird.

If i had to guess, the dragon neck and tail are on a rotating assembly of some kind inside the torso to get them where they need to go for either mode, with the torso clamshelling open to manipulate it. The dragon pecs/dragon arms swap places inside the torso between dragon and robot mode respectively since you can see the robot pecs behind the dragon chest.
