That antagony will be mine! I want it just for the Scavenger alt head!
Missed the stream due to a dentist appointment. Stupid dentistry.
Anyway, PRiD Strongarm and the Junkions are definite buys as soon as they are available, same as Antagony.

I'm not quite sure I understand your post. No, I'm not suggesting that they never, ever, ever release another Core Class Prime in the history of ever that has a trailer. And sure, if they had done this from the beginning, it probably would have been more like 20-or-so bucks, as opposed to $12.
If they had, I would have paid the $40.
It's puzzling, because the detailing on the figure makes it seem like the mold was purpose-built as a Bumper figure, yet neither release has a Bumper head. Since they are adding extra heads with some of these exclusive releases, it seems like not including a head in this set is a missed opportunity for added value.

Words haven't yet been invented for how much I want that Prime/Bumblebee set so I had to do my best.

From the front page, we got pics from today's fanstream:
Hasbro Pulse exclusive: Core class Optimus Prime with trailer (and Roller) and Bumblebee
Deluxe class Shadow Striker
Deluxe class Bombshell
Deluxe class Strongarm
Deluxe class Detritus
Core class Dinobot Snarl
Volcanicus, combined form of the Core class Dinobots
Voyager class Bludgeon
Voyager class Trashmaster

I just don't think "core prime with trailer" was in the cards without it not being a core class pricepoint, and there's no chance in hell Hasbro was doing the core class pricepoint without having an Optimus as one of the first figures.
Apologies for extrapolating that out into a position you weren't taking.

Hello, Junkion Combiner!
Huh. I was expecting a humanoid combiner. Love how it evokes a Monster-Truck-Show style Truck-a-saurus.
I would gladly pay the going $25 deluxe price for just Prime and the trailer, no Bumblebee. Hopefully we get it released that way at some point.
I skipped the previous releases of both Prime and Bumblebee, so this set is all new to me. I also skipped Earthrise Prime, whose trailer is somehow worse than this one in every possible way. Poverty patience pays off again.
Someone elsewhere just pointed out that this Junkion combiner being a garbage-themed dinosaur is basically a giant Scrapmaster.
I just found Inferno last week at Target and thought to myself I don't need Antagony... Wait is that a Scavenger alt head? Ughhh, I kinda want that.
Also just got Slug and Sludge, boom package refresh of course, Snarl looks good I can't wait to complete them. But now I'm kind of in love with Core class if the Dinobots are any indication and I like how Optimus and Bumblebee look. Is it weird that I got super excited over Roller?
Literally saw Strongarm's arms in vehicle mode and asked myself if that's the Elita-1 mold, right as he said it, excited for her.
Love the Junkion combiner especially that it's non-humanoid, but stealth combiners that I can't plan ahead for are a bit out of my budget.
No. Roller helps this set feel like a complete package. Earthrise didn't get one, unless you count the hilariously tiny one that was sold separately in that accessory set.
I just realized that Prime's riot shield isn't part of the trailer, it's part of Prime's vehicle mode so he can connect to the trailer.
And it's superior to the Earthrise shield in every way. It's big enough to look useful, and it doesn't break the trailer's detailing.
This set is such a home run.
