The two images were posted in different places online and were taken down as well but as of now they are still up on Autobase Aichi.
Galvatron is the wave 3 leader for the Kingdom line and will likely be out in late summer.

Wasn't his head the same as Meg's?

Sort of, I believe it was a grinning variation of the regular Megs head, on par with the differences in the standard or smirking seeker head.

nope, he was a straight repaint, however this one should have a different head. Supposedly it should be the grimacing vintage bw megs (does anyone else cringe and feel old calling beast wars vintage now?) face, which a few off kingdom megatrons seemed to get by accident.
I really want to see more of galvatron. looks like he has sculpted wheels on his hip skirts. maybe hes got a full on tank mode as opposed to the cannon?

Sorry, I should have clarified I was speaking on what the leaks have indicated we would be getting on the new figures, not the original toys or show. We've seen the head variant on a leader megs already.

But in any case, up yours Hanna. Kingdom Roddy is a lot more solid, he has a lot more invested in the engineering and mass.
Plus, y'know, there's this whole not-inconsequential essential part of him:
So many of you people have been paying through the nose for 3P figures for their extra crap and lack of hollowness and all that for years and chanting their praises for making "better Transformers," and how dare anyone complain about the aesthetics of some of them. You demand quality, you pay a premium for quality... And yet the second Hasbro dares to make an accordingly-expensive ultra-premium toy, it's "charging $80 for a Voyager." You're complete and total smegheads.
</rant>
The point is well taken.

And it seems Takara's pricing is a bit higher. 14,300 yen. discounted for pre-order to 9980 yen by AmiAm and 9100 Yen by Anime Export
Not sure I'm willing to pay 140 bucks for Roddy. That's MP pricing now.
If Hasbro's MSRP is indeed $80, I'll get it. but not paying anything over $100 bucks.

But they're still both commanders (; so the price point stays winning, zoo-wee-mama!

Kingdom Ultra Mag can use his trailer as a battle station. They remolded his shoulder pylons and they have a 5mm post on top.

Yes, 4 of them in fact, like people are asking for. Micromasters Roadhandler, Swindler, Trip-Up and Daddy-O

If one is willing to place the arm armor elsewhere, two of the Cliffjumper mold will fit along with his big gun, three with the gun. I tried putting Bug Bite between back legs and upside down head but not enough clearance.

william-james88 wrote:So yes, I still think people are very stupid for needing a different class name and not just looking at class=price point, but hey simple minded people just need simple solutions to get along with their day, and giving Rodimus his own label would have been a simple solution.
So you are calling me simple? Just kidding... I know I am
At any rate, I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make, but it is a nice thought. Especially seeing as how the original Transformers really didn't have price points per se, or they just had a lot, and many only had one or two toys in that size. ( Fans later placed them all in different size class based on height) it couldn't hurt just to let it all go. I mean it's not the same, but I know many people are complaining about the reisssue Basic Rattrap and Deluxe Cheetor having the same price when they were originally sold at 5 and 10 dollars respectively.

Were those just flukes though? Like 1 in 20,000? I just went through about 30 listings on eBay and can't find any that have the grinning face (which is the damn face he should have had to begin with!!!) ... not that only 30 listings is a good sample or anything, just feel like if someone found the variant they'd be putting it up on eBay and asking all sorts of crazy money for it (as they should).

It's kind of crazy that the Basic Rattrap now costs the same as the Deluxe Cheetor, especially since they don't come in a case together.

You're the one who brought the good points which lead to this proposed solution, so I wouldn't call you simple at all.

Yeah that was a fluke. I have never heard of anyone else finding that face sculpt. So yeah, it is the one that we will probably see on T Wrecks.

Probably cuz hasbro's doing a second production run of the seacons, the pre-orders were up on pulse a while ago
Second run was a while ago (and done by Takara Tomy, Hasbro just distributes), anything that's been showing up on Pulse since has been leftover stock from their warehouse. Takara Tomy also recently put a bunch of stuff on Takara Tomy Mall as a warehouse sale.

Takara Tomy prices are much higher than Hasbro's. Sky Lynx was also 14,300JPY. Jetfire, however, was 19,800JPY!!

The scuttlebutt is that Hasbro had to reengineer the Rattrap mold from the ground up, rather than this release being a simple reissue of an existing mold.alekese wrote:After a certain point, clearing out the mothballs, dredging the mold out of storage and making any modifications necessary for compatibility after 25 years of assembly line innovation is probably a more relevant cost factor than materials cost. Also, I'd imagine rattrap's spring driven automorph gimmick would be the sort of thing that 25 years of aging wouldn't play nice with, and would need touching up, if only to insure it complies with any changes in safety standards. Alternatively and/or additionally, if it helps, think of it as a discount on Cheetor, who they otherwise would have charged more for.

Im not sure about CW itself. I know the entire PotP line was leaked a year in advance. I mean we know pretty much what all of Kingdom wave 3 (standard retail) will be, even though no official product shots/pics of the toys have been shown, so I guess there is improvement there. Also now with selects and so many retailer exclusives, I guess the leaks are a bit more hard to come by.
Also just curious, I was in a Walgreens the other day, all they had were 2 Airrwaves (although that is the first time I've seen any ER anywhere since mid-January). I'm not even sure if they are getting any Kingdom toys, or has there been a rumored Exclusive for Walgreens yet for Kingdom?

Oh, I meant how the leaks were presented with the cropped artwork being mirrored and all that jazz.
As for Walgreens, I think the Exclusive has been talked about but I can't for the life of me remember who it is

Based on my obsessive Walgreens stalking when ER Bluestreak was showing up, I would say for the next year, Walgreens is the place to go if you want to see any ER deluxes. They are always about a year off on current stock by me. I saw all of Siege waves 2-4 back when I was on the hunt for Bluestreak.

Yeah, really kind of a weird choice considering Cyclonus doesn't have anything resembling battle damage.
