Squat Grimlock is neat. Metalhawk's altmode is terrible. Prowl's got some of his chin. Junkions are still great. https://twitter.com/preterniadotcom/status/1620455856658853888 Anime girl statue Bumblebee is what it is. Kinda makes me think of Kingdom Hearts what with all the belts and the big Mick Mouse shoes. https://twitter.com/preterniadotcom/status/1620254499599429632

Shrapnel is the second Insecticon they've put out in this set, right? Kickback was long enough ago that I'm worried I missed one.

DoctorWhat posted:It's an extremely well-supported theory based on the Dinoforce's altmodes and the positions of the so far revealed core dinos' alt modes in the combiner. Yeah, Volcanicus has maintained a pretty consistent look of having a T-Rex head on the chest across its various incarnations:    The new version instead uses Slug as the chest component, which is more in line with how Dinoking is arranged.

I had no idea Jonathan Ross was such a prolific toy collector! The Triple Takeover guys mentioned this video in their latest episode, I thought 'surely they can't mean THAT Jonathan Ross'. But no, it is him! Him off the telly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvhtsYP-_wI

Megatron really doesn't look very Megatron. I'm happy withe the reveals, but also kind of a pass for me on this wave. I kinda wanted Metal Hawk, but this version ain't it.

Not just that but a hardcore Micronauts collector of all fackin' things. But no, not really a huge surprise as he's been doing series and documentaries on comics, memorabilia, and non-mainstream genre cinema stuff since what, the 90s maybe? It surprised me at the time because till then he'd just been that young fella in the flash suits doing a slick Friday (or was it Saturday?) night chat show and then it's revealed he's a ridiculously massive turbonerd.

Also since I don't see it mentioned, they said the following toys are confirmed but they had no samples yet: Beachcomber Devcon (G1 bounty hunter fella) Axlegrease (a new Junkion) Dirge (rerelease so it's not a stupid exclusive) Nemesis Leo Prime/Lio Convoy Armada Megatron Another Optimus Prime/Volvo collab (they did the holiday Prime so this one is probably G1 colors it sounded like)

Jonathan Ross used to own a comic shop in London called Top Ten which ran till some time in the mid-90s I think? I’ve seen him a couple of times at Sandown toy fair too. He’s a massive nerd.

Kind of want to hold off on Leo Prime, and just wait for Nemesis Leo. Just hope he’s not stuck behind some multipack I don’t want like they did with Goldbug, and Nemesis Primal. Speaking of Goldbug, is that four pack still dirt cheap, or is it hard to find now?

So apparently the reason Freezer is such a weird figure is that he's actually Scourge's backpack.
