Transformers HasLab RID Omega Prime Reveal News & Discussion Topic

[Decepticats]

Wow! Omega Prime as the only reveal today. This is an easy pass for me. I have to say, everyday that goes by without Hasbro revealing Legacy and ss86 figures, the desire to hand over my hard earned money to them fading fast. At this rate, if I have to wait until March, on top of Sureshot being canceled, I'll refuse to order anything they put up for pre-order just out of spite.

Yes!!!!! All of the yes! Already put my order in as did 1/3 of the people needed so far within only 4 hours, 5 now.

I just want the option to get more Bluebolts. I loves me some Weaponizers. 

I'm even thinking about selling my original set to fund a second set lol. I haven't looked at it in a while but last time I did I still had all the tires. They were splitting but I glued them on. Hopefully they haven't disintegrated outright. I'll keep Shotimus Prime though...oh sorry, he's...er I mean she's Yellow Splendid Convoy now isn't she? Shame that this means we'll never get them now be it Shotimus Prime, Yellow Splendid Convoy or any of the other deco options the original had. I gladly would pick up Black God Fire Convoy or the proposed OTFCC Defensor and MIdnight Shield Defensor decos of just Fire Convoy. But those will never come to pass now due to the stupid limitations placed on Haslab sets and reissues/redecos. 

That's the only real downside to this set being a Haslab. No redecos. So far though, this is the only one of the four to really be affected by that. Sure Victory Saber has had a black redeco for the Robotmasters figure but that's about it other than Red Geist from Deathsaurus but that's most likely a legal grey area as to who actually owns the rights to that be it Takara or Sunrise.

This looks like a cheap KO compared to the originals. The only part that is interesting is the Bluebolt figure

Those color images are renders. I am wiating to see the painted figure to be sure, but either way this feels like a waste of a HasLab project IMO. Sure, I'll get it it but 2026 is long way off for the next HasLab.

Should be no surprise the HasLab Omega Prime RID Universe Project would be FUNDED so soon with just 10,000 backers needed. Now that this figure is rolling out, we need to take it all the way to the full on GOD FIRE CONVOY goodness! TIER #1 makes the Matrix Blade ours at 13,000 backers. TIER #2 give us both the stands at 16,000 backers. - Read the Full News Story

The full view comes into focus with the video just out of the HasLab Legacy RID Universe Project Omega Prime Painted Model! In celebration of the funding of the project, Bmac has shared a video showing what this big boy looks like in his colors. Surely we are well on our way to securing the other two Tiers as well. - Read the Full News Story

Thanks to @bmacatron84 who's posted the milestone with the update below. As predicted, the Teir #1 HasLab Omega Prime Matrix Blade would hit the 13K we needed to unlock it for the Legacy RID Universe Project. With 27 days to go, should be no problem to get to Teir #2 16K to unlock the stands.You can still fund this now at HasbroPulse. - Read the Full News Story
