You're best looking for sellers in China so. That's where I got one, cheaper shipping from there to Ireland than from the USA.

I picked up PotP Windcharger because he was cheap, and it's one of the few times I kind of wish I didn't bother. Nowhere near as nice as the old Reveal the Shield one. As Tailgate, especially IDW Tailgate, the mould is way too chunky.

Hasbro hasn’t made a good Tailgate yet. The best is the Maketoys one with add-on parts for RtS Cyclonus.

Those Cyclonii look awfully similar...

Also yes, Maketoys Tailgate best Tailgate.

Honestly for Cyclonus they could just do what Earthrise Starscream did and upscale the Classics deluxe with extra articulations and it would have been fine.

They don't look similar at all aside from being the same character. Chest, legs, arms, proportions totally different. The new one is a much stockier (and thus movie accurate) take on him. And that's leaving aside the size class difference.

Not everything Hasbro does is a cost-cutting conspiracy.

They should release a slightly darker toned one as Hisarmada.

From the inception of studio series I always wished they would do the same treatment to G1 figures. Sure, we mostly got that with siege/earthrise, but I wanted figures that didn't have any major gimmicks to them.

I'm the reason G1 will never go away. :(

I saw the video thumbnail and was like "are they just color-coding ships and calling them autobot and decepticon" but to actually have prime, megatron, and others just chilling out on the ship in the gunner seats and stuff is a nice touch. still never going to play that game, but it's a neat crossover.

That trailer kinda devolves into 'lets see how many movie lines we can throw in' near the end.

Also surely they should just use Broadside and Tidal Wave as the main ships?

Kup was (don't laugh) my favorite new character from the movie, so I'm definitely interested in this Studio Series toy. Of course, it won't be complete without a bunch of Alicons...

I liked Springer as a kid, but Kup is the right answer for best movie character.
