I'll throw them a bone with the fact that they gave the original mold an abdomen functionality, showing that it was designed from the start to be for this character too

I havent looked yet - Is that the Waruder Parasite? Indeed it is. Probably wanted to 'army build that, but it's not going to happen now...

That one person who would always go on and on about Deluxe Insecticons always being ignored, I hope he's happy
I am curious to see Goldbug however to complete this set. Probably just the SG version with the same paint used on Selects Black Zarak ( a not-true gold), but at least dosen't have GPS.
I don't think you're wrong about Goldbug. Anyone expecting the Netflix mold should get ready for disappointment.
I never thought Goldbug was VW Beetle, to begin with, guess I was wrong. I find it funny that the Legacy version of Ransack, a Bandai toy, is being made from a retool of a figure that was initially a Takara toy.

I don't get it either, but they say his 'transformation is uninspired' - it's the same transformation as back in the day, but with articulation. There's no accounting for taste.

Yet those of us that actually got kickback when he was originally released were excited and bought them with zero complaints.

I haven't seen much hate for Kickback, though I've seen a lot of complaints. I think it's a combination of people liking the Prime Wars Insecticons and wishing the Legacy lineup had more franchise diversity, which I get. I'm glad the redeco means more people get to pick up the mold. I expect we'll see Chop Shop from Shrapnel again, and the others further down the line, so everyone can get new Legacy Insecticon toys one way or another.

Wow, that is so damn true..
Fanboys ruin everything they touch, yet another reason I got away from the 501st legion and all costuming and collector fan groups.
People suck and most humans are vile.

I have all of those and feel they were a great stepping stone until they have been made better with the Legacy line (Kickback... down need the rest).

Same here there is nothing wrong with Kickback he looks like a decently good figure!

I cannot wait to get him this Wednesday!!!!

It's even better since they add that extra step where you can hide his robot face in bug mode.

He was up towards the top of my "maybe's" list... But wasn't looking to spend $60-$80 or whatever just to have him.
I may just sell-off whatever I don't want of the other 3.
I'm trying to take on the "At least we're getting him" mindset...

If you live in a populated city, selling the rest wouldn't be hard. Though I'm not sure which ones in the 4 pack will be the most sought after.

I don't hate Kickback, i just find the new toy boring. It's not my cup of tea, and the insecticons tend to be some of my least favorite bots. The only one i own is FOC Kickback, and I've been waiting on deluxe Bombshell and Shrapnel to go with him (aesthetic doesn't matter to me there)

I may have a deal set-up with another board member.
Only having to sell-off 1-2 of the 4 will make it worth buying imo.

We have known the contents of this pack for some time, but only gotten leaked images of 3 of the 4 figures. But now, we have the full set. The set is comprised of Ransack from Legacy Kickback, Skywasp from Kingdom Waspinator, toy colored Scorponok from Kingdom Scorponok, and the main attraction: a proper Goldbug using the exclusive VW beetle alt mode!
We do not yet know when the set will be going up on Target, But if you follow the above link, In Demand Toys already has the figure ready to go for those in the UK!
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

That's what people want, but depending on how yellow or gold the plastic is, it might be enough to get this one and do a simple head swap with other recent Bees. Netflix Bee is far too orange in my opinion. I think the best event would be an animation-colored Bee in SS86 or separately in this line, but who knows. It's probably easier to cover the VW licensing expense in a large multipack like this.

Really have to wonder why this one expired and Soundwave didn't when they were released at the same time. I wonder if maybe there were no exclusivity limits at all, it just expired, but with the new Bee movie coming Hasbro was able to negotiate new usage (even though Bumblebee isn't a Beetle they'll certainly be releasing some Beetle Bees at toy time anyway I think).

Wow that's great! I only care about that Goldbug though. Itll probably end up on Ebay.
