What if the infernocus torso doesn't have an alt mode in the movie.

What if the infernocus torso doesn't have an alt mode in the movie.

I'm guessing none of the Infernocus members have alt-modes in the movie and that the toy's limbs only have them because they are just re-using the Prime: Beast Hunters Abominus limb molds. Just a guess though

One of the trailers shows Optimus fighting one big Infernocus whom Prime slices apart with his sword, and the five components then attack him together, but each of them just looks like a smaller-sized Infernocus.

Hasbro forgot to show the new torso bot´s alt mode...

Primus looks great in those colors. But the price blows. Nobody buy one so TRU puts him on clearance...

He doesnt have an alt mode aside from becoming a torso.

Wow? No alt mode?

They repurposed the limbs and made an action master for a torso?

Just another example of how they will do anything to cut costs and increase profits.

Action Masters don't transform at all. Skulk at least transforms from robot to torso, with separate heads and configurations for each.

Granted, that doesn't make it GOOD, but he at least can do what Action Masters wish they could do.

The Torso mode is as much a mode as the Inner robot of a Pretender is when stored in the shell - technically it is one - but is usually overlooked as being one.

You know what would be nice - to sell Legion Hungrr on his own as one of the Legion single packs - or put him in a gift set so people can make an all black original design combined body too if they want too.

I attached a pic of berserkers shoulder. The left and right are both like that. It looks like stress mark to me but it appears to be on the inside of the joint and can only be seen at certain angles due to the semi transperancy of the plastic. Is anyone else's like this or did I just get a bad copy?

I've played extensively with Berserker and I don't have those marks. They may also just be molding imperfections and not stress marks, I can't really tell.

also, I am really liking Skulk because Infernocus' head is in his rib cage. It is properly creepy and awesome

[robotcaveman]

Are Dragonicus and Stormreign voyager, or deluxe size?

[robotcaveman]

Plus, is there any hope that RID warrior class Thundercracker will come to existence?

Probably not in this thread either (TLK)
Perhaps try the RID thread?

[Jelze Bunnycat]

They should be roughly Voyager Class-sized. The set they come in, Dragonstorm, is Leader Class.

I think this guy got the really short end of the stick:

Yeah, that all blue legion Optimus is really bad. It does look they enlarged the peg that keeps his legs together. Legion Bumblebee's unpainted windows are pretty awful but I feel like that's a tradition that goes back to both Jazz from the 2007 movie and 2008 Universe. The reused one steps from AoE somehow have less paint operations than the same toy three years ago.

I wonder if Hasbro has seen that the movie stuff sells no matter what so they don't put as much effort into it as stuff like Titans Return. Or maybe they get the movie designs so late that they can't make them as well. I don't know how it works behind the scene.

[Kurona]

I wouldn't be surprised if the larger toy-buying crowds attracted by the movie hype played into Hasbro's decisions this line concerning money. It would explain the higher prices and the reduced paint apps -- they're more willing to take risks like that because they can be assured more people will buy them regardless.

Have a review of the TrU exclusive MTC Optimus 2 pack:



Both figures are excellent, but dat price...

[chuckdawg1999]

Stopped in my local TRU today, probably first time in over a year, and was surprised to see the entire TF section was half a shelf. That's RID, TR, and TLK all on half a shelf.

That's the Optimus Prime I had that broke after having it for a while, except that it was the traditional colors that Optimus Prime has. What series is he from, Transformers Prime?

reduced paint apps

I am still struggling to see how paint apps are an issue. The 4 figures I have actually have lots of paint, on par or greater than the TR counterparts standing right next to them

Agreed. I dont get it either. The only one so far which I felt lacked paint was deluxe drift in alt mode. The rest have good paint. And that voyager megs use paint so well to give you a gorgeous subtle pallet of different armour pieces.

It's originally from Revenge of the Fallen.

Oh I wasn't referring to the whole line; just a few choice figures like the re-used AOE Bumblebee and that Legion Optimus. Not to mention figures like Skullitron which might not be low on paint apps, but are pretty bad and have been criticised by others.

It's not all of the figures certainly, might even be a majority of the line that's good with paint; but there's a very noticeable amount of figures with terrible and/or few paint apps.

One question about the movie optimus prime i bought Are there any detailed instructions for how to disassaemble him and display the vehicle kibble separately? i cant find it in the manual.

no, there are not. You technically are not supposed to and I would not recomend it since it is attached by pins.

I didn't have to remove any pins. Just a couple screws to get the roof part out and the screws went right back in.
