Originally slated for a Wave 4 release, this anticipated figure has not shown up with other Wave 4 releases like Waspinator. Fans were also worried when the figure was first rumoured that he'd be a redeco/retool of Deluxe Class Warpath who came out earlier on in Kingdom's time on the shelves.
It's also been teased that Slammer can play a role in combining with Thrilling 30 Titan Class Metroplex.
Check out the review below!
What do you think of Slammer? Looking forward to Metroplex finally getting the last of his friends?

I doubt the instructions will even tell you that

Now, we need a KO company to oversize the whole thing and sell it for pennies.

We don't need either of these things. It's perfectly fine for a $10 toy, and the Netflix Soundwave is better than an oversized version of the Core class figure it inspired.
(For anyone who doesn't have the Netflix Soundwave, I'm sorry.)

I disagree. More choice is always better. My point stands.

I don't like N. Soundwave because the tapedeck mode only works on the front. Turn it around and it's a mess. I much prefer the Siege version with the arm attachment upgrade kit. The tapedeck fanmode works perfect on all angles and he still keep his spaceship mode.
Plus having the G1, MP, and TR leader, I have enough "true" tapedecks. But the Core one is unique enough to get though. Now I wish for another upgrade that will give us the remaining cassettes. Even as non-transformable plastics chips.

Agreed. Drives me crazy when people go asking for upscaled things as if they’re gonna be just as great as a voyager/leader size. Like people who wish Hasbro would’ve used the core mold of Starscream upscaled for the voyager instead of what we got. They’re only good for their size, and they’re only good for $10.

That would be good. It would take a Leader spot, but that would only be while waiting for the newer stuff to be made.
Too bad it won't be possible for Netflix Bug Bee, as proven with the Worlds Collide pack.

Netflix Soundwave was a Voyager, the "Leader" price was because of the extra Ravage and Laserbeak, who will be more than likely separate. As for Bug Bee... until we see the SS Bug Bee again.

That I know. That's why I said "leader". Unless Micromasters are still a thing in Legacy, I don't think the figures would be sold separately.

Core 2-pack, price is roughly the same
And I need to get this off my chest: if an accessory costs more than the original item (looking at you, Sega CD), then it's not worth it.

I guess these two packs get special treatment and Amazon does not remove them from the Hasbro shipping box.
also, Rodimus has finally arrived after 2 weeks in customs clearance. Its going to be a fun day.

I think they're much more likely to pack in Micromasters than jam them onto a core card. Rumors say a Core SS86 Rumble is incoming, so I'm skeptical of sets of Micromaster-sized tapes, and I don't think they'd do a two-pack as a one-off.

That kind of shipment has become very common in the past years.
Also while I am tempted by that Amazon 2pack, it is quite expensive.

Just sideswipe is almost worth the price of admission. This mold is a breath of fresh air after Tracks. Makes me want to pickup Red Alert and the Alpha Strike set.
I’d kill for a R.I.D Prowl repaint of this mold.
But yes, it is quite expensive.

Especially because we have no choice but to import them from Amazon.com. Only the Sideswipe/Skywarp 2 pack appeared in Amazon.ca and it was just barely. The price was fair at 64ish Canadian dollars, but that pack don't bring anything truly new to be worth it. As for the Mirage/Grimlock set, it only appeared at Amazon.com and I find that "Grimlock" to be super ugly. Original Beast Wars be damned.
Now repaint and severely remold Leader Beast Megatron into Grimlock (in proper G1 colors but more "biological") and I would have been all over it.

Prime VS Prime have posted his video review of Kingdom Deluxe Shadow Panther. Shadow Panther is a repaint of Kingdom Cheetor with a new head referring the original Beast Wars toy's mutant mask.
See the video review down below:
Shadow Panther is part of the newest wave of Kingdom deluxes slowly appearing all over the world along Waspinator. If you can find him in your area, will you pick him up, or having Kingdom Cheetor is enough?
Let us know what you think!

A friend and I went in together on the Jurassic Park crossover set because he wanted the jeep and I'll get the T-Rex and I'm just going to put it on my Grimlock shelf and consider it a Beast Wars Grimlock. The red and black in robot mode will help blend it in.-Kanrabat- wrote:Now repaint and severely remold Leader Beast Megatron into Grimlock (in proper G1 colors but more "biological") and I would have been all over it.

I would have customised that T-Rex into a proper Grimlock just by changing the head. But for the price that set go for, better keep it unmodded. But even so, it works as a Grimlock by itself much more than the Dinobot repaint.

You should quote who's you're responding to, but one thing is sure. Gen Metroplex and consequently, TR Fortmax would definitely need a redo.

Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining.
I do like that they gave Shadow Panther the Mutant head, I find it helps keep them distinct from Cheetor.

He’s gotta be in the top 5 figures of the year IMHO.
If we can expect something similar for Legacy G2 Laser Prime, damn, its gonna be good.
The trailer is huge. Dwarfs PotP Rodimus. I can honestly say he is in deed worth the Commander Class price point.

As a kid I always wanted Metroplex, unfortunately he was too expensive. So I would certainly be interested in a new one now with a more affordable prices than what he is on the secondary market. Fortress Maximus I'm not that interested in but it would depend on what the final product looked like.
Actually I'm kind of curious if they would ever try to rework HasLAb Unicron into Cybertron?

But before we get to them, I want to share some pictures of Wingfinger, since I am really enjoying him. I think Tricranius will ultimately be my favorite of the Fossilizers, and Ractonite my favorite retail release one, but Wingfinger is pretty dang good too
Also real quick, so far Scorponok is pretty good, I actually really enjoy his scorpion mode
So to jump to Iaconus and Mainframe, I'll start with Mainframe. He is a really fun and neat little dude. I love the computer alt mode, and the robot mode is really solid and for me just fun. He is a great accessory figure, and I still hope he gets a Selects release in his standard colors down the road
Moving to Iaconus, I think this might be right there with Omega Supreme as my favorite titan. For one thing, the actual ship alt mode is super fun, and he is really fun to swish around. And then the robot mode is nicely new, fresh, and the head sculpt is really cool to look at. He's just fun overall. I wish his ankles had more tilt and his hands didn't suck, but overall he is a really nice titan.
Oh, and once you have the Tricranius pack, you can give him 4 thruster effects!
Size compared to my new Haslab Sentinel
Since we brought up Tricranius, I got him too, and he is lots of fun. This is my favorite mold, and in magma colors it absolutely kills. This is a perfect toy.
Moving on, here are Grimlock and Mirage. Still deciding on whether or not I am going to sell my Mirage off, but I like Grimlock. They nailed that head, I just wish it would photograph better, especially the eyes. I like this mold, and it makes a great Grimlock
And finally, I need to take an updated pic with Tricranius, but here are my new roster Beast Wars Dinobots

It is unsure if solid cases of other characters are being offered and if retailers can distinguish one from the other in their order form or if it's simply part of the deluxe assortment. But it means Hasbro is shipping out product in various ways and as we can see in the image, at least that EB Games location has a nice full shelf for customers. Also, this would be the explanation if ever you see a ton of just one character on your shelves after a restock.

Although the same thing happened with ER Deluxe wave 3. I got the ones I wanted online, but NEVER saw them at retail.
