I bet if they do a titan Unicron, it will be a downsized verison of Haslab Unicron thou it might have some more thoughts into where the panels go

I got my Nacelle today, complete with the mystery white stuff. Honestly not sure what it is, but it came off with a gentle wiping.
It’s kind of interesting that the two Amazon exclusive instances of the Siege Seeker mold are in Magnus colors: Nacelle in Magnus’s cartoon colors and Senator Shockwave in his toy colors.

When in doubt, check it under a microscope.
Well, as we know now, they were just being dramatic as it was NOT mold or fungus on their Nacelles but in fact, dried lubricant.
On a positive note though, he is such a wonderful figure!
I mean - do we know for a fact one way or the other? Not that people don't overreact to things of course (and even if it is mold, I highly doubt it's some deadly contagion), but Willis is also just one guy. I can't believe no one has put a sample under a microscope! 
Platypus did.

And there was enough oil on the wings to be visible and feel-able, but nothing 'bio' that could be seen at 20-40x (dissecting scope). At that scale any actual mycelium would have been obvious.
The stringy white stuff might have been dust and cardboard residue from the box getting caught in the oil...?
Well, Nova Prime arrived from Amazon today. Didn't fiddle about with him much, but I can confirm he doesn't share Nacelle's condition. Which is good, even if it is a minor inconvenience.
And yet, it would probably fit him more...
Amazon told me I'll get Nova Prime tomorrow, the mold or oil stuff hasn't crossed my mind but I'll be sure to check (it's kind of inconvenient too, I was saving up gift cards to get some money off him and now he's shipping a month early, oh well).
Also can't find the Deals thread so I'll mention it here, Target is doing 15% off select Transformer toys this week so a $34.99 Voyager is down to $29.74, asked my brother to pick up Leo Prime for me since I haven't got him yet and he got me Nemesis Leo Prime, well I appreciate he got me anything and I love his colors I'll be using him as Dark Amber Leo Prime.

An unfortunate accidental victim of the measures taken to counter all the spam attacks that were had during the weekend of BotCon 2023.

I kinda figured there was a reason like that.
Speaking of purchases, did anyone else preorder Devcon solo from BBTS? My solo preorder for his wavemate Axlegrease has reached me, but not Devcon himself. Given I just got notified about my preorders for the next wave, I'm starting to wonder if I should reach out.
I’d give them a little time. Unless you ordered a case or set, BBTS is probably filling single figure preorders from the solid cases Hasbro ships out.
Since Devcon seemed to be a popular choice in that assortment, BBTS might just be waiting on a shipment of Devcon cases before getting to yours.
I'm hoping that's the case. Thanks.
New leak, this time, Legacy Animated Bumblebee. Just robot mode pics at the moment

The general design doesn’t look awful in a mini bot sort of way. But Hasbro’s attempt to retain the “stylization” of Animated, RiD15 and Prime characters is still falling flat. I know not everyone was pleased with how Prime Arcee and Bulkhead turned out, but I think those attempts to “standardized” their faces worked a LOT better than this halfway measure we’re seeing on the likes of Prowl and Strongarm, and now Bumblebee.

I think it’s the dainty feet. Animated or not, a defining feature of many Bumblebee designs are his big boot look. This one definitely messes with that established “body profile”
