Perfect Effect's Mega Doragon (yes that is how it's spelled/said). They also did an Optimal Optimus called Beast Gorira which, as far as i'm concerned, fixed Optimal's design.

Edit: Unfortunately re-issues for the figure have been more than scarce so finding them now for a good price is gonna prove difficult.
oof, ow, my bones

guess I'll pray for another reissue

Before the back of the box got posted, I thought that was supposed to be Springer from that scene where they use that giant bolt thrower against Devastator in the 86 movie and was hoping we'd get like a cardboard cutout of the bolt thrower vehicle.

I like getting a Dion, I don't like that it's the same mold as Orion Pax. And apparently we actually saw Dion's vehicle mode and it doesn't look much like that.



In other leak news, we're getting Nacelle as an Amazon exclusive.

And lbr they aren’t gonna make a whole new mold just for Dion.

I've got the Optimus on preorder, I think it's clever. Bumblebee looks alright, and is a pretty big step up over their Megatron.

I'd have agreed with that like 10 years ago. But now they're doing repaints based on g2 production art (pretty obscure stuff if you're not a turbo nerd like new), new mold for Jhaxius, we got that heavy retool for super Megatron, etc.

I don't buy a ton of retail Hasbro anymore (mostly mp and 3p), so those are just quick things off the top of my head. But they've shown they're very willing to go obscure for even new molds these days. I don't consider anything impossible.

Look it's either Dion or Devcon and they picked Devcon.

Actually we still don't know what Devcon will transform into. He's a voyager, right?

Is Wheeljack’s toy actually going to be VW branded? Or did they genericize it?

Well, that's a VW logo right there. Looks like a nice design.

Surprising that they're apparently homaging the original bat Optimus Primal with scimitars.

I decided to pick this one up after seeing it in the store. I love a purple bot, and that headsculpt is fantastic. Very simple, almost G1 transformation, but that's ok. Good bot.

I thought I remembered the leaked prototype images of the toy not having the VW logo on the front in vehicle mode.

Edit— just checked the wiki, the Target exclusive one is unlicensed. No word on if we’re getting a SS version.

Well Walmart has exclusive rights to that tooling for probably another year or so. They also spent less money/resources on making the Cosmos mold (about as much as they'd normally spend on RETOOLING a deluxe; they managed the same thing with Override) so they may not be as hungry for ROI.

Jhiaxus is a major villain in the Marvel comics and has had major roles in IDW1 and 2.

Dion is a minor character who died in a story about someone else’s origin.
