Transformers Galactic Odyssey Dominus Criminal Pursuit Pack Revealed

The G.O. sets have been interesting, but I haven't seen a single one I've wanted. Yay for my wallet I guess?

I kind of hope the rumor about the last one including another repaint of Ironworks is false, because then I'd have to get it.

I dunno if this means the Glyph and Tap-Out rumor is more or less credible now, these GO sets have been some real weirdos when it comes to their "leaks".

Right now it looks like the set only actually shows up on Amazon if you got to that GO hub page they made though.

This is correct, almost flipped out when I couldn't find it. This is the link if anyone wants: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0855748HF?tag=seibertron07-20&

Thanks for that!
I maybe in for this...
I really like that Barricade, & I was kind of wanting that Cybertronian car mode as well. Considering I’ve never had Punch/Counterpunch makes it that much more tempting.

This pack is the only way to get Punch/Counterpunch for less than $80 or $90 anymore so to me this is a heck of a deal.

No probs boss!

So looks like the rumours of punch being included in the Walmart Headmasters release is just going to be hot air in the end (though stranger things have happened I guess).

Might have been cool for punch/counter to have been done as frenzy/rumble just to be odd and something different.

Which leaves us to speculate what other figure can take that spot.

Yeah that's a skip for me. Barricade isn't too high of a priority for me (though he does look pretty rad) and I managed to snag Punch/Counterpunch back during POTP. I MAY have been interested if the Punch/Counterpunch here was the exact same deco as that one so I could have both Punch and Counterpunch displayed at the same time, but nah I think I'm good.

Arcee

I'm still holding out hope for a Cerebros!

Also, on the new Punch/Counterpunch deco, I guess they had no where else to go after the PotP release, which pretty much nailed the deco for both screen and toy accuracy. This new deco seems to just add some details that weren't there before, like the yellow trim on the alt mode, and take away iconic details, like the red hubcaps. They also took away some, but not all, of the toy sticker tampograph details. I guess this helps maintain the value of the original release?

Notimus Crime wrote:I MAY have been interested if the Punch/Counterpunch here was the exact same deco as that one so I could have both Punch and Counterpunch displayed at the same time, but nah I think I'm good.

Oddly enough I used the slightly different deco to justify buying this and using the PotP one as Punch with the darker blue and this one as Counterpunch and display them at the same time. (Note: crappy basement lighting may help one not care as much about the deco differences.)

Oh be still my enlarged not functioning to full capacity heart ... how awesome! Characters that have been given modern updates in the last five years getting another go around!

So I did pre order this for Barricade, but I'm gonna end up flipping one of my P/CPs if I keep the pre-order. And honestly, ai am not sure I care enough about Barricade to do so. Plenty of time to cancel though.

This set is a complete pass for me. I don't have enough interest in either figure. I do want a Counterpunch, but there are better options out there.

Out of nowhere, I got a notice from Amazon today that my Trailbreaker will be here in a few days. I thought I was going to have to wait months. Prowl and Ironhide should be right behind him, followed by Sunstreaker and Runabout.

Yup, now this is a 2-pack where i actually want both figure. I haven't got any of ER datsun mold, and barricade seems like the most interesting one, as i just want 1 datsun mold. And for punch, i never able to get him before, so him being reissued here is good news for me.

Oh man! So exciting to get another shot at punch/counterpunch that isn't ridiculously overpriced but what a shame with the redeco, it wouldn't bother me as much of they had kept the red hubcaps and I dont own any of the Datsun molds and don't have a lot of deluxe decepticons so im happy to have a barricade, already pre-ordered it!

so in order to get barricade you have to get punch/counterpunch too

I managed to snag him when he briefly came in stock/pre-order for $17.88 on Friday and mine just arrived today. Originally said somewhere in November, then I got a notice saying Yesterday or today, but after the last time of the move the dates up only to move them back merry-go-round, I wasn't believing it until he arrived. I'm now a believer.

Edit: Also Sunstreaker is my guess on the next one to be suddenly moved forward. Just a hunch.

I'm speculating on if I should sell my POTP P/CP now or wait to see what happens with that Headmasters wave. I can see them doing Punchy here and the original deco in the Headmasters wave. Either way, it would've been nice to get another gun with the figure.

But he's not a Retro Headmaster. That's part of the title.

Arcee with a repainted Chromedome car, a homage to the canceled headmaster.

Thinking about the punch/counterpunch figure returning, it'd be cool for him to come out in the comics and have some sort of story arc with doubledealer. Like being in a stalemate because they can blow eachothers covers, or getting lost in the counterpunch identity and being tricked by doubledealer, or doubledealer pretending to be a spy for the autobots with punch. It would be cool to see an interaction between the two

I gots my Smokescreen from Amazon a few days ago(then cancelled my pulse one) and he is awesome. Very much a mini masterpiece. I also switched out the Siege shoulder guns to Eartrise Smokescreen, making him all the more awesome. This Datsun mold is the best ever and I cant wait till I gets Prowl along with Ironhide, since I skipped Siege Ironhide.

As far as this Punch goes, its not for me and glad I can save the money for something else. I have the original Headmasters deco PotP's one. I dont think it will be bettered for years.

So, with rumors of Ironworks as a launch tower redeco, I decided to find out if he could even do it.

He can. I give you Ironworks in his "Cape Canaveral" mode

And if they really, really love us, they'll throw in Doubledealer's ICBM accessory

I'm not against it.

What if they really go off the rails and fill their Optimus quotient with Convobat/bat Optimus Primal to tie in with Kingdom? Bonus points if they give us a red one.

Anyway, ordered two of the Barricade/ Punch/Counterpunch set, not sure what I'm going to do with the extra Barricade. My only wish is that they had painted the gun black this time around (they painted Barricade's gun gold so it could have happened), then I could swap one of them with one of the PW Trilogy so that Counterpunch could have a black gun. Maybe I'll just paint the gun now that the value is likely going to drop (not that I plan on selling them).

You're right. That would definitely be off the rails for a vintage-packaging-nostalgia-driven line named Retro Headmasters.

I didn't call it off the rails for nothing. I mean, it would still be a Headmaster figure in vintage packaging (just not HIS vintage packaging) that would certainly be nostalgic to adults that grew up with Beast Wars. 25 years is still considered retro.

There is no other figure. The person who reported that initially wrongly assumed things, hence why we should always take "insider" info with a grain of salt. Here are the facts:

- The person who first said this is in contact with someone who works at the factory
- The factory worker mentionned the retro head masters along with Punch Counterpunch (PCP) and Barricade
- The person then assumed the rest and included PCP with the retro headmasters since they didn't know where else it could go

They were wrong.

So since that's all we have to go on, the retro headmasters will be the ones we know that are coming, with no rumour of any other toy being there. So it could simply be some toys getting shipped more per case or extras of wave one or whatever else.

I didn't understand why Punch / Counterpunch was getting a lighter deco, but I think it's an homage to his recent appearance in Transformers '84 #0.

Not for nothing, they're making Retro style Mandalorian figures, so there's president.

If that's the case, it's kinda weird. Hasbro hasn't paid much attention to the G1 comics before. If they had, we'd have a Ratchet with a red helmet in Selects by now...

Nightpunch? Counterbeat!




Although I do actually like the deco, with the car mode it reminds me of ROTF Nightbeat the Not-Packrat version.

I have the original Power of the Primes Punch for sale on Ebay, today's the last bidding day for it. I didn't particularly want the toy anymore, and once I heard the leaks about a re-release I reckoned the resale value for the original would sink like a stone as soon as the new one was announced, but now the auction is up to £56 my worry is whoever wins it will turn around and say "Don't want it no more cancel plz", because that's happened before...

Regardless, I think I will pre-order the Dominus set, mainly for Barricade, but I do like the new colour scheme on Punch. There's a bit of a missed opportunity with this set not having one of the Deluxe Headmasters seeing as it's Dominus (the new name for the planet Master, and going by the description it even has the same environmental hazards as Master), but I suppose that's what the Retro Headmaster range is for.

Woah.
Having missed out on PcP, I'll be sure to get this Criminal set.

I'm happy everyone that didn't get P/CP the first time have another shot at him, but I really dislike that they bundled him with a new figure. If you already have P/CP, this set is a hard buy. I wish they would have made him a single release and included someone new with Barricade.

not necessarily, I've already made a deal to get the barricade off of someone who wanted the p/pc, try giving that a shot

Nice looking set, and good to see people get another go at P/CP. But bummer, I was only going to try getting Barricade if he was a single release, so this is also a no go for me. Leaves just 1 GO set, and I am not getting any of them yet

I've pre-ordered for now, but will likely cancel it.

I did the same with the Ratchet set, I preordered, but decided to cancel, the Arcee mold isn't good from what I've heard and don't have any intention to get it, and I will get that Ratchet as SG Ratchet, so I'm good.

Could be worse, it's better than having to buy all four retro headmasters just to get Brainstorm

So two different releases of Punch-Counterpunch and both were Amazon exclusives. Makes sense right?

I guess they really wanted to get their all out of this mold. At least they did different colors.

This way, the original release won't lose value.

Also, there was a missasembled part in the original Amazon PcP. I wonder if the issue will be fixed with this release?

My boy arrived today

Sweet! I assume that means Amazon finally cooperated for you on this one.

They did! $17.62 was my price for him, better than the TFsouce $21.99 I had to get him at to secure him when it was seemingly like these would be nigh impossible to get.

He's a pretty good figure. Didn't get Hoist so he is my first experience. Love the alt mode paint.

Since my T30 and CW Trailbreaker are on the Lost Light shelf, this guy might just go to the general Autobot shelf.

The original will 100% lose value since now those who wanted it have another chance at getting the same toy. We see that with Marvel Legends all the time. If they released another Greenlight in a two pack with a slightly different tinge of green, it's certain the original would not sell as high.

It will lose value but not by much. As seen over and over again with all previous reissues. Appart for toys were their value increased by WTF levels like for Greenlight, of course.

Speaking of which, I gave my complete Cyber Fembot combiner to my combiners obsessed friend because he helped me through some hard times. I was affraid I didn't paid him back enough. Now all doubts are cleared!

I don't know what it is but while the big belly works for Hoist, it seems wrong on Trailbreaker. I guess I remember him more from IDW than Hoist. How's the T30 mold? I remember hearing mixed things about it...
