I'd comment on it, but nothing tops crocodile head accessory.

that dragonicus can't even be considered an attempt. They didn't even bother to separate the 2. They just pop the robot head out, stand it, and call it a day.
On the bright side, thanks to that, we now have a good look on dragonstorm's bottom side, and gets the idea on how he combine.

Thats not the job of those taking the photos.
Just for the record, the photographer has 1 job: take pictures.
Thats it. There is no reason a photographer should ever trouble themselves with even knowing how this thing transforms. Its not their job.
If its mistransformed its not the photographer who did that or even the whole photography team, its the people at Hasbro who gave them the product to photograph.
For it to look properly transformed, Hasbro should have someone part of the TF design team be there and set the toy up for it to be photographed by the photographer. But they are clearly not doing that. And thats Hasbro's marketting fault, not by any means the photographer.

Having looked at various positions over the years and even applied, I've gotten the impression that Hasbro has a policy of giving their employees a wider range of duties, or expecting a wider range of skills, than one would expect for any given job.
The backgrounds they expect can be pretty weird to. I was interested in a data scientist job that came up recently, but they are looking for people with backgrounds in computer science or engineering.
I've not met any of Hasbro's photographers, but going by the sort of job listings their HR department puts out, I'd imagine their photographers have degrees in architectural sciences and are responsible for maintaining the office printers.

Does this look proper in anyway? Like I can understand the smaller mistakes but this?
Why don't they just get a designer there to transform the figures for them and the photographers take the picture unless of course their in a different country or something.

I'm sorry, but I call bs, it clearly only misses one obvious step of hiding his bot mode head.
However it does show off his beast mode poseability and balance, something I think we're all interested in...
I can't wait to get this guy (these guys?)

Heh, okee. I wouldn't like to presume what others would consider newsworthy so maybe I'll keep just posting stuff as regular posts and you staff folks can decide. It's rare I'm the first with any important information. But hey getting my first 4 in one month was decent.

Generally all news is news -- don't be shy about posting anything you think is worth reporting on ^^

I found the pics on Facebook, but the source is from Weibo:

also we got a new shot for Infernocus, from NOTRAB, still on Weibo.

As in, released around the same time? Possibly. Given his exclusive nature he may be shipped in solid cases, depending on whether he's considered a standalone item or part of the standard assortments. Brainstorm was exclusive to Walgreens, yet officially he's part of the standard Deluxe Class assortment, and same thing may happen to all of Hot Rod's toys.

He isnt part of wave 2. Wave 2 only has 4 deluxes. Walmart is apart from all those and not considered part of the mainline, which is what the waves are based on.

Damn. So do we have any clue as to his release timeframe? Other than the 3 I already have, Hot Rod is the only TLK figure I am interested in.
Forgive me if this is an old question, I haven't paid much attention to TLK news.

No schedule yet. All we know is that some people have acquired him from Walmarts, but Walmart is notorious for slow releases.

Not in the least.
Since he is an exclusive, there is no estimated time. Its like Brainstorm at Wallgreens. He just popped up one day and took his time getting to everyone. If its any indication to go by, for AOE, the walmart exclusive figures came out in august, so that might be when Hot Rod is easier to find.

Also worth pointing out he's only an exclusive to the US - some Asian retail has seen him show up in TRU and the such (Hong Kong for sure, probably also Singapore).

Autobot Unite https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ges/38398/
Also, just to clear up some confusion, he (and the rest of the autobot unite subline) is still exclusive outside the US, but not necessarily exclusive to Walmart.
