Can’t wait to see the Selects version. Wish I knew about this before I ordered some hands off of Shapways tho.

Rumor: IDW To Lose Transformers License In 2022 - Transformers News - TFW2005

Coming to us by way of Bleeding Cool is an unexpected rumor about the future of IDW's Transformers license. The site - which was recently correct in

Boom would more than likely publish them now.

FYI, BBTS seems to be getting their shit together.

In stock as of now, Selects Galvatron, Gnaw, Sweep, Artfire, Slammer and Premium Finish Optimus is coming soon. Those are just the guys on my list, we’re gonna see a lot more.

I really like Legacy Bulkhead's vehicle mode, I didn't realize the cab had that much interior detail. Then I realized, he's got the same proportions and transformation as Energon Snowcat.



And there's already existing vehicles that look like Bulkhead which are snow vehicles

 

[The Lawgiver]

I could understand that in a bootleg toy but I expect better from the slave labor behind legit toys

Not the first time shit like this has happened to me, actually. The paint embedding is but the weird "hair strand in package" thing was an issue when I bought an official japan exclusive miniature splattershot thing years ago. Then there was the time a nendoroid had masking tape on it for some reason. It's rare but whenever it happens it seems to happen to me and me alone lmao. It's never the cool shit like an unused headsculpt winding up on my shit, just mundane/gross shit like this.

I like the alternate faces, but the stock photos make them seem a bit softer than kingdom galvatron in a bad way.Egg shaped head helmet aside, kingdom galvatron's face is pretty much perfect.
The leg extensions look incredibly jank and they could have put a pillar extender instead, too bad they didn't. hands look interesting but the color match seems even more jarring than the different purple plastics on galvatron.

Holy shit I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to do a remake of Snowcat given how the whole media crossover line is a thing now.Ideally I'd rather have the Gi joe crossover one be a HISS because snowcat already exists but hey, it could work.

Kingdom rodimus went on sale a few days ago as a "cyber monday deal" on a fucking sunday for a more affordable price. I missed it of course as I had barely any free spending money at the time due to a combo of all those preorders shipping/charging weeks back and some other shit like me buying this fucker and a few other guys for $26 each plus shipping

His bottom half transforms into legs thats relevant enough to this thread, yeah?
Still waiting for the guys to ship, glad I caught wind of these things being available again before the character rights shifted over to another company.

I’d prefer this guy as the Bulkhead repaint, they’ve been drip-feeding Wreckers for seven years and I really don’t want that to stop.

So there's a rumor from one of the insiders that next year's SDCC set is going to be Alpha Trion/Orion Pax, probably from 86 Scourge/Kup.

See, now that I’d buy. I’m still using Botcon Alpha Trizer as my CHUG Alpha Trion and he is……. increasingly not up to par with my collection.

Though I still want to see Devcon from the Scourge mold.

Good grief this wave sucks.
How fucking hard is it to just give us Ratchet, Ratbat, Nightbeat, Siren, or other characters who are hard to find or worse, have yet to get a proper update in the CHUG line?

Thank you for saving me the time fruitlessly looking for Ratchet. He's my sister's favorite and I wanted to really surprise her this year, but alas.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

That G2 Megs really makes me want a proper new mold Leader rather than the lazy G1 tank Megatron repaints we've been getting.

There was a period when prices for Earthrise Earth Mode Ratchet dropped when it was announced there was going to be both a core class and Studio Series Ratchet released in 2022. But then it turned out it was not going to be G1/86 Ratchet but motherfucking Bayformer 2.0 Bumblebee Ratchet and the core class figure photos leaked, showing it to be a god-awful looking abomination with a god-awful vehicle mode that makes the Siege version's vehicle mode look like a mona lisa. Since then, prices have gone back up and then some fucking over people who want a decent Ratchet.

I’m honestly shocked that it is proper G2 Megatron, with a full set of options for the toy or comic look.

Probably the “Ultimates” release with the most value. My one nitpick would be that pointless Sunbow head, that should’ve been a neutral expression comic head.

Apparently these guys are voyager sized, so he should fit in with the upcoming Jhiaxus and Laser Prime.

Twink has Brawn and Ratchet

This is how Brawn needs to look from now on, the helmet, Doomguy-esque features, big gun and additional tech details implying layers of heavy armor over a small frame.

I might do this custom, his gun even looks like a fucking plasma rifle and he has 5mm pegs above his shoulders. You know, for the equipment launcher.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

IDW maybe losing their Transformers and GI Joe IP's. Probably others in 2022. They've been in the red for a decade now and aren't expected to last much longer. Personally I'd rather see another company take over and hopefully get rid of the woke crap they kept adding over the years.

I’ve gotta say, that stupid drill-tank mode actually looks pretty cool. I usually hate the ugly Cybertronian non-vehicles (hello Bumblebee movie Soundwave!) but something about this particular mishmash of parts just works.

 

[The Doom Slayer]

Now Ratchet. Looks cool but might be my least favorite of these new BB guys.
