Please tell me that's either a mock-up or a side-effect of the digitisation, because that green is way off. Far too saturated.

It's really good though after getting Blurr and seeing how he transforms I am a littl bummed the small shoulder fins are fake kibble.

It does look pretty nice in that teal

I went to Target today hoping to find Blurr. Nope, they had Sunstreaker, Prowl, Ironhide, and Mirage. Only 3 waves behind...

Yeah, they had a total of 3 magnus' but I bought 2 of them, and they both broke completely, now it's just Thundercracker

You saw not on but 3 ultra magni(?)? That's insane I've seen one about 4 months. I ended up getting him online last year due to fear never finding one. That's why I also settled on getting Skylynx. Still never seen one.

Don't sound so down, their leg mechanisms shattered due to sh|t plastic, so you didn't miss out on anything

I've also seen them at the closet Target, and I wouldn't doubt if they're also at the other Target which is just as close. Haven't checked the local TRU in a while, but since their CW deluxes have been $19.99, I haven't much interest in going there anyway.
Interesting thing was that at both Walmarts, the right side of the backing was badly creased (bent forward) from top to bottom. Didn't notice that at all at Target.
I've only seen Ultra Magnus once. For the longest time it was both Megatrons (mainly Armarda), and now it's all Skywarps.

Not really.
The Skullcruncher toy looks beautiful and I'm desperate to get my hands on it, but it fits Krok as much as it'd fit Long Haul or Armada Hot Shot. Completely different robot mode profile and an alt mode that wouldn't work outside of a cute reference to his targetmaster partner thing; I'd prefer to get an Alligatorcon Optimus out of the mold and make Krok out of Triggerhappy or something tbh. I'm all for updated action masters and pretenders - in fact, I REALLY want updated action masters and pretenders - but just slapping them on a mold that doesn't fit them for very meagre reasons would not be up my alley. And really wouldn't work for me as the leader of the Scavengers.

Would work for me. Makes more sense than an Alligator Optimus Prime, and scales better too.

ooooh, you're walmarts stock tf's?!? That's amazing
Every singke Walmart I've ever been to has stocked all kinds of different toys, including Transformers. In fact, every Walmart I've ever been to has an entire set of 7 or 8 isles dedicated to just toys. It's probably just because I live in the United States of America.

I was being sarcastic, the walmart's near me haven't restocked their tf selection in months, feels like almost a year based on the lack of figures and the wave 1 rid figures warming a peg

Yikes...I really hope something is up with the coloring on this CG render of "Walgreens" Brainstorm. The green tint and over saturation are quite the eyesore. Is he supposed to be reminding us to pick up some mint toothpaste while we shop at the drug store? Honestly, this is making the SDCC version look all the more appealing, despite the "premium" price and inclusion of two other figures I might not care for all that much.

Anyway, back to Transformers.
I hope the Quake version of Hardhead is more than a mere redeco/headswap. More tank-bots is always good.

Delta Magnus wrote:Krok being a repaint of Skullcruncher seems a bit...predictable to me. IMO the Club figure was the best Krok out there, especially given the Action Master figure had what looked like jet detailing on him. Also, provided I can work out a way to fix those gosh dern hollow legs without ruining the transformation, I intend to get Skullcruncher, and I think one is enough.

I have always thought that a Con with the name "Krok" should turn into a crocodile.

G1 accurate vehicle mode and a more traditional G1 Kup face/head, and gun, would be all the reasons at the top of my list. The Generations figure was OK, but I could go for one like Titans Return Blurr in a heartbeat!
