I just got Alpha Trion, Optimus, Sentinel, SS Optimus and Deployer Megatron today along with Shard (finally) and Vector Prime. Oh and also finally, Earthspark Grimlock. Now I can finish Mandroid. 

Man SS Optimus kinda sucks. The "warrior" class deluxe one is really good comparatively as a Transformer. Sure the SS figure is quite a bit larger but it doesn't have quite the same charm as the smaller version. Cleaner alt mode. Cleaner robot mode. Does have that stupidly designed "diaper". Better weapon integration. Better colors. Better arms. Better Matrix. Worse Matrix chamber though. And it doesn't have ankles or seperate feet in general. 

Alpha Trion is pretty cool too. I wouldn't mind Beast Machines and Universe Snarl retools from this but we know that's not going to happen. 

I wish they changed the arms and the weapon for Deployer Megatron though. And Maybe have done the Minicon up as Laserbeak or something. Wingthing might be more appropriate for the mold though. Given that he was a little gargoyle looking thing and not a bat originally. Overload wasn't a bad figure back in the day. I actually kept it but sold off Drift, Blizzard Drift and Fracture after taking their Minicons. I have both versions of Crazybolt too. Speaking of, I'd love to see some redecos of that mold. I don't know how it would play into the film but I don't care. It was such a unique mold that barely anyone got to own. 

Grimlock is okay. It was before in Cyberverse and is again in Earthspark. Retooled parts don't change much but the overall look.

I now understand why Shard is so popular though. The Armorizors still suck for the gimmick they're named after but as a stand alone figure ignoring the gimmick, she's really cool. The colors really pop too. I trimmed the key tabs off the sword handles so she could wield the swords normally. I wish there was a way to kinda use the booster things as replacement hands. They so look like that's what they want to do but there's no way to do it which is a shame. I look forward to getting more now.

Vector Prime was very floppy. But now that I think about it, so was Jhiaxus when I first got him. Had to tighten those joints up with some water based polyurethane (Kiki) real quick. Not really a fan of the wing armatures but that's about it. Couldn't care less about the details on the fronts of the shins left over from Jhiaxus. I do want something to put into the little ankle wing holders though. There's options coming out for those though along with a bunch of other things for him. 

But none of those have anything to do with the most recent Amazon listings leak. But this last one does.


Sentinel Prime is really good. They even put in ankle pivots when they didn't need to. He's a triple homage. He's a cross between Combiner Wars Skydive in robot mode with FoC Blastoff in vehicle mode with a touch of FoC Air Raid/FIreflight with the shield thing. But once I transformed him I was reminded of what I'd like to see for Windblade toys moving forward. The way the arms turn into the front of the vehicle is what Windblade should be doing. With her shoulder pads becoming the intakes on the sides of the cockpit. They don't even need to have the nosecone flip behind the hands like on Sentinel and they can fold them away on a small bit of cockpit kibble to store in the chest cavity left by moving the head out of the chest for robot mode. That would make her super clean. The legs are no longer the issue for Windblade as there's like four or five good ways they've already found to handle them and the rear of the vehicle. It's the front of the vehicle and the arms and back kibble they still need to work on. Sentinel maintains the slim arms that can still work for Windblade despite them becoming the front of the jet. It's just Sentinel is how I envision Windblade transforming to almost eliminate the kibble in both of her modes. I just don't understand HasTak designers at times. These had to have been developed around the same time too. I wonder if they picked up on this themselves.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to a voyager Sentinel Prime.

That's it. That's all I really had to say about these new Studio Series Amazon leaks lol.

Now to open my box from Sugargirl on Ebay and put some upgrades on my figures.

Oh and I seen Wolverine and Deadpool today as well.

I think they lost a bit of what made the first two movies decent. This one was just lacking the charm or heart the other two previous Deadpool movies had. Cameos and references are great and all but almost all of them went nowhere or weren't given enough time. Shame really. I wanted Wolverine, when discussing his past, to at least mention Jubilee, Rogue or Kitty. You know, the three of his wards. He only talked about Cyclops, Jean and Storm. You'd think he'd have more to say about the younger members than the older ones, even Jean. Especially given who he was talking to at the time. 

And Primus, the fucking endless quips. I get that this is Deadpool now and really how shows are made these past two decades but fuck, just speak like normal people for longer than a sentence or two please. And not a single person even thought anything strange of what he was even saying when he'd mention things nobody should know about or when he obviously broke the fourth wall. But at the same time, they didn't completely ignore him as if in a trance like Negasonic and Piotr did in the first two movies. They were acknowledging him while he was doing his shit. More in a following what he said and did kind of way and not a got involved kind of way but still. It's subtle but it was throwing me off. The other characters shouldn't be doing that if they're not another Deadpool or even She-Hulk. Or they should be like: Wade, what the fuck are you doing/saying? 

If you've managed to avoid spoilers, there are some neat surprises that were only really speculated on but not confirmed. So that could mean anything/one as there was a ton of speculation. 

Last but not least I had FIrehouse Subs after the movie and my run to Target. Their honey ham is so delicious. I love going there. No homemade brownies today but oh well. 

Didn't see any PotP Evolution Optimus Primes on shelves at Target but I already have him, Nemesis and Star Convoy. Maybe if they change the shade of red or gave him the Star Convoy cab instead of the Orion Pax cab maybe. But then that would've defeated the purpose. I mean they're reissuing him to coincide with ONE right? Orion Pax to Optimus Prime. That's why they're reissuing this now out of the blue like this right?

Why does the listing for SS Leader TF4 OP say "PR - package refresh"?

[BaCon]

The previously leaked 2025 Age of the Primes Leaked Listings get a refresh with some updates on G1 Silverbolt, and apparent Star Convoy. Also spilled is a fan channel G2 Dinobots Core Class to be sure. Walmart will have a Retro Deluxe Seaspray and Brawn. We also have some possible new Target exclusive Studio Series goods with Gamer Devastation and WFC Variant reveals too! Read the full listings thanks to JTPrime17. - Read the Full News Story

Titan Class Star Optimus Prime?

The obvious choice being Star Convoy as nothing else would make sense without really, really stretching it. I just think it would be hilarious if it were Energon Optimus Supreme just to throw everyone off lol. Omega Supreme and Optimus Prime with his trailer and drones.

On a side note, I hate some of the names of Optimus super modes. Omega Prime should've been called Ultra Prime (ULTRA Magnus + Optimus PRIME). Optimus Supreme should've been Omega Prime (OMEGA Supreme + Optimus PRIME). And Ultra Prime could've been anything else as it's a standard five team Scramble City style combiner.

Commander Silverbolt. No surprise there. 

G2 Dinobots. This makes far more sense them being the SS86 molds and not the core class molds. Although, the upcoming G2 Grimlock in the retail line kinda throws things off a bit. However one could be blue Grimlock and the other teal. Or they could just not have G2 Grimlock in the fan channel line since it would be released at retail.

Walmart Seaspray and Brawn. I have a feeling that these are going to be more reissues. But then what about them being called "Dlx"? Don't Minibots cost about as much as deluxe figures now anyway? And wasn't there some sort of rumor about size classes or something? Like they're trying to consolidate them again. Meaning that things that wouldn't normally be called a deluxe will now be called a deluxe for shelf and price sorting issues for Walmart and Target due to being the same price. So a $35 reissue would be called a voyager and a $55 reissue a leader. This would also mean warrior class will go away and be upped to deluxe as well. Or am I completely misremembering something and talking out my ass. I just could've sworn that there was something recently said about size classes and shelf space.

I mean otherwise that would put another "new mold" Minibot in the same shitty situation that Cosmos was in. Although, Warpath, Cosmos and Seaspray should all be retools of each other as they're pretty much the same toy when you think about it. Or rather, they mostly transform the same and have their parts do the same things and come from the same places. They could easily be reshells of each other. But that's neither here nor there and I'll digress.

More "Bullseye" Target exclusives. SSGE WFC Optimus, Megatron along with SSGE Devastation? Sideswipe and Wheeljack. Not to keen on any of these molds honestly and assuming that Sideswipe and Wheeljack will be more of the molds we've had for years. While I love to have more of molds that I like and are "good", Siege Sideswipe wasn't the best it could've been especially with how many we've gotten so far. Wheeljack is slightly better but still pretty boring in all honesty. I've already gone on before about my disdain for SSGE WFC Optimus and would much rather have an upsized deluxe from years ago. And that goes double for Megatron. What a letdown that voyager version was. 

But what would these all be? Red and black redecos? White with black? Something else entirely? We've only gotten one figure so far and that was a black and red G2 Optimus. While I don't have it yet, that red looks to be a beautiful shade and looks great with the black. So at least the other figures would look good. Shame two of them are red normally with one of those two, red and black. 

People have been speculating again about the upcoming Alpha Trion for next year's main line. They're going back and forth again between Thundertron and Scourge. I swear this one is going to be a Vector Prime retool. Hasbro and/or Funpub seem to flip between the beast and vehicle modes for him. So with ONE Alpha Trion being a beast, Age of the Primes' Alpha Trion would need to be a vehicle. But since the most recent one before ONE was based on Scourge and we have an available Vector Prime mold, I think Age of the Primes Alpha Trion would then use Vector Prime as a base. 

OTFCC was going to be a beast, Botcon was a vehicle, Botcon again was a beast even though this is technically Cheetor, Million Publishing would've been a vehicle but wasn't released, Takara Legends was a vehicle but does he really count?, Titans Return was a beast...but also a vehicle, Cyberverse was a vehicle, Legacy was a vehicle, ONE was a beast. So okay, it's not every single other one is the opposite but it's close.

And since it doesn't get brought up enough, I have a feeling that The Fallen will be a retool of SS86 Megatron. But this will be more clear once we finally see SS86 Megatron. It's just two leader class tank formers that look like Megatron not being partials is going to be weird and a waste of resources. It would be like a leader Straxus not being a retool of a leader Galvatron as they're both non-tank mobile canons. Straxus looks really good by the way. I like him more than Galvatron and Galvatron is one of my favorite overall designs. I can't wait to see what they improve for SS86 Galvatron.
