I like that there's atleast some story going on. Alternate Universe where the Transmetal wave fused Huffer and Pipes into a single being Puffer is interesting.
-ZacWilliam, I'm curious what Puffer would be like. He's a nerdy collector merged with a winey pessimist. He should do great on the internet.

Not a huge fan of Huffer and Pipes being fused together. Especially when Pipes is getting his own toy in this line! Could have used this opportunity to give an original character a bio. Looks nice otherwise.
I'd have liked an original character with his own new personality more, definitely. But given this group seems less inclined to including story and character with the toys at all, compared to past teams, I'll take it as a pleasant victory that we got anything at all.
-ZacWilliam, still want Pipes and Huffer, even if there's now a toy of them Steavonnie-ing too.

I like Puffer as a toy deco of Pipes, but don't care for that Gobot chap. All of the Kingdom 2 packs, have saddled someone I want with someone I don't. Luckily none of them are must haves for me, so I'm comfortable skipping, but if Puffer, Sideswipe, or Mirage were available solo, I'd probably bite.
Puffer and Road Ranger
Terrorsaur (Airazor retool)
G1 Jackpot (86 Jazz retool)
Tigatron (Orange Prototype deco)
I don't know why they're treating me so nice all of a sudden but I like it.
Missed the Pulse preorder due to class starting, but not too worried. I really only like Road Ranger for his altmode, and while Puffer has a fine deco himself, I prefer the silver weapons for Pipes (assuming he does in fact come with two).

Orange Prototype Deco is what I want the most out of that list.
I was afraid that Beast Wars would be completely tied to the show forever, for understandable reasons but still. But no, we're in Orange Prototype territory.
Preordered the Road Ranger/Puffer set. It's gonna be a long wait for it, though.
Here's hoping Orange Tigatron's got the freakish mutant head from the art (and looking more organic than Shadow Panther's more steel helmet-like face)
Kinda strange to me how a set of two repaints of the same mold have become a thing in WfC.

Just got Waspinator and Shadow Panther, I'll be reviewing them later this week but here's my first thoughts.
Shadow Panther: A neat repaint of cheetor, the solid black "Panther" has a very nice overall deco. The piercing red eyes are a nice touch. Robot mode is where he shines for me. The silver and yellow do add to his overall look and the mutant head is a nice callback to the original toy line. I do still wish that the mold came with a blaster but I think I'll be able to find one suitable for him.
Waspinator: I've been comparing him heavily to T30 the last few hours, it's taken a lot of messing and fiddling but I do think Kingdom is better than T30. The beast mode rounds out better than the T30, the head and thorax being slimmed out makes his motif much cleaner. Transformation is a more realized version of the T30 figure. The robot mode has all the WFC articulation you'd expect, the bug legs are a bit annoying to work around but over time become a bit more tolerable.
I do like messing with these guys but neither of them are my top BW stuff of the year. Waspinator is a must for any Beast Wars fan and Shadow Panther is a nice update to a crucial part of Transformers history as he was the first black repaint.

What Wheeljack silhouette? I wouldn’t mind a Slicer repaint.
Yes. If I recall, the second Set will be Terrasaur. The collection includes Maximals, preds and Autobots. Now. I’m not sure what they will do with cons but at the moment I posted the 4 sets in leaked thread
