Yeah but those shoulders still achieve most poses you'd actually want and don't impact the combined form.

And when you stare long into the abyss, you become aggressively, terminally chill

Fiddled with Siege Megs last night. Gotta say the instructions are pretty naff in a couple spots and overall the transformation... wasn't much fun. His bot mode is pretty solid though.

I know people use those typical playarts-sized figure stands for deluxes, are there figure stands for leader class-sized bots?

Target finally got around to that reset and I was able to grab Optimus, Megatron, and Ultra Magnus. I'm pretty happy with all of them, really. They're smaller than usual and don't have as much size variance between the two classes but they're solid, weighty, have nice proportions and decent transformations. Still not a huge fan of the half-assed "battle damage" paint apps, and Magnus' truck mode is a little weak, but overall they're pretty great versions of the characters.

When were those upgrades for prime predaking(hands, wings etc) supposed to go out? I thought it was a December thing, but I may be misremembering.

I like how, even if they did not say it's a Hasbro ad, you know it's an official promotion thing because they keep saying "convert" instead of "transform".

Where exactly do they stock the Botbots? Are they by Transformers themselves or are they more in line with the TCGs and whatever section of stores? I haven't checked Target in a while but Meijer near me is still running leftover Terrorcons and the same Slug when I checked last.

At Target I've found them in the picked-over Transformers section.

My Target placed their Botbots on the endcap of the aisle, away from the other Transformers stuff, so you might wanna check there.

I bought him. He’s pretty cool. They did some similar steps to the masterpiece for part of the transformation.

Edit: I’ve spent more on figures that were a lot worse.

Yeah, he's fun and I dig him. I didn't have a Shockwave and while I do wish he could stand aside my Megatron, Overlord and Sixshot as an equal I've decided you'll go nuts trying to play the scale game on limited funds. The power armor that turns into his skiff is a nice touch. If that's still too much, and I get it, wait for a sale.

Both of those molds are great, though that Powerglide did not come with guns.
