We got images of early production test shots for some Transformers figures lately and one popped up of Tarn's body with no head and a new sword, on Chinese social media. This has fueled the idea that this is Legacy Bludgeon's test shot. Now it is unclear if this is a work in progress type test shot or a pre production line one, meaning that we don't know if this represents the amount of retooling Bludgeon will have over Tarn but there is now a possibility that this indicates the retooling could be very very limited. Basically, it could be that Bludgeon is just the same mold as Tarn but with a new head and a new sword accessory.

While that is not what fans were expecting, it does explain several elements in Tarn's sculpt that are more akin to Bludgeon than Tarn like the plates on his thigs, the eye holes on the upper chest and the vent at the centre of his chest, just to name a few.

Of course, it could also mean nothing, so we'll wait for more info.

He won't be, we know Bludgeon is based on Tarn. The thing is, I assumed he would have a lot of retooled parts and now it looks like it will be a redeco with a new head.

At the very least, a more solid retooled chestplate who won't rely on a tiny CLEAR PLASTICS hinge...

It's the curved section on the bottom toward the front. None of the iterations have that and are generally more streamlined. That's what's different.

OK....so I'm getting really old and forgetting sh!t.

I have a feeling that you will have to have something custom made, I've not had any luck finding off the shelf to work for anything large that I've bought. There used to be a place that sold stands for model airplanes that were three pronged and were moveable so they could adjust to fit a specific body mold but the place I had bookmarked no longer carries them.

The only place I've seen it now is on ebay, called the Calibre Wings Router display base. The problem is I don't know which ones would be suitable for a certain craft, some list the sizes others scale but I'm not familiar enough with scales to know how big/small 1/72 is in measurements. These would likely work for Seeker jets but probably not ARK and Nemesis.

I don't know if you're referring to Flightpose, but they haven't had stock or any communications since at least last year. I have a half dozen of them, ostensibly for Seekers, and had planned to get more.

The weight of these toys is probably going to be too much for many toy stands, but maybe there are other furniture display accessories that can manage. I'm not planning to look until I have the Nemesis in-hand.

Aye, as a Disgruntled Brit, he seems to have been sold out anywhere I look. Besides, I still wanna have money to grab Beachcomber and Armada Megatron and Prime!

I also admit that these days, I'm a lot less Disgruntled, as it's generally reasonably easy to get the figures in the UK now. Saying that Hasbro cancelled the second run of Scorponok, which is a bugger as I've had to make do with Black Zarak. A fine example of a Titan but a character I have no connection to, unlike Scorps, who was an amazing Christmas present one year as a nipper who spent time beating up my Brothers' Metroplex! Ah well.

I'm probably going to pass on Bludgeon regardless. I have the RotF toy, though I don't really like it, the PotP mold, and I've ordered Super7 Ultimates Bludgeon as my primary G1/comics version. Since I also have Tarn, this doesn't really do much for me.

ROTF remains KING for the Bludgeon update.

Poor Bludgeon - somehow, he never gets the good treatment he deserves, does he? That ROTF-era tank version was probably the closest he got to an original upgrade, but as neat as that one was, it was still hard to transform, and hard to pose, so it was less 'fun'.

And now he's just going to be Tarn with a different noodle. Sad, really.

He may have taken inspiration from this Bludgeon:

I was definitely thinking RID Bludgeon with the digibash. What I liked about the Subscription Bludgeon is it didn't try to be the shell, it was all inner bot with just a nod to the shell's brown. I never liked the ROTF mold, it was just too busy and doesn't feel G1 enough to me at all. Plus WTF is that head sculpt? It's terrible! The digibash isn't ideal, but at least it doesn't look like a giant bug.

...haven't we already known it won't be G1 Bludgeon for months now? The whole reason we knew Bludgeon would be a Tarn retool from since Tarn was first revealed is because Tarn has molded details on him that originate from IDW2 Bludgeon specifically.

My thoughts on recent leaks/reveals:
Nemesis: Looks great in full color, I dig her Prime Soundwave-like proportions. I'm gonna try to wait for a sale on her, but I'll definitely be picking her up.
Bludgeon: Not forming an opinion on this until we see the real/final figure since too much is up in the air currently, but I like that sword design.
Junkion test shots: Looks good from what little we can see of it, will probably grab it, curious to see the head design and hear the name (and also see it 100% correctly transformed as opposed to currently).
Miner Megatron: Looks pretty solid so far, might pick it up to use it as Terminus. This one is interesting because leaks/rumors about it existing popped up a few days before this picture showed up (and also at least one guy on TFW says they have the figure already?), and they said the following:
-Retooled chest and shoulders (which has proven to be accurate here)
-Uses the IDW Miner head for the mold that we saw before on Selects Combat Megs
-Comes with an arm-mounted drill and an Energon pickaxe as accessories, which turns it's alt mode into a drill tank
-Might be part of a 2-pack, still up in the air
-Is supposedly part of an Amazon exclusive Comic Universe subline alongside Nacelle (who we do have an Amazon exclusive listing for), a Marvel colors version of the Netflix SW set (so Purple Soundwave plus Ravage and Laserbeak repaints), and other currently unknown figures
Considering some of it was true so far, I'll be curious to see if all of it is.

I consider myself one of the biggest defenders of IDW2 around and I completely forgot that he was in it. Looking at his design now, it is a good fit, and informed some of the design changes as you say. I guess I have to get it now?

Here's Milne's model sheet for this Bludgeon design.

If they specify that it's "IDW-verse" Bludgeon, and it's basically a "mini MP" of the comics, I'd be fine with it. It would be a "perfect" representation of one version of the character that is worth owning.

My "MP G1" Bludgeon would be the Super7 figure, IF THEY EVER BOTHER RELEASING THE DAMN THING. :-(

It's only, what, three quarters late? That's nothing for Super7. I'd be worried it'll never come, but they keep announcing new waves, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

I agree, but I'll get him nevertheless.

I switched careers, so I've been less available to come in here and air post, opting to shoot videos on my Youtube channel with the time, but now that the change is complete I can get back to posting on my favorite thing in my favorite place.

Some pages back there was a discussion about Sideswipe - 3P have spoilers for both Cybertron and Earth modes that are semi permanent. Noneff did both that I own.

Nemesis - I'm going to wait for a sale. Hate to be that guy, but Titan Class ALWAYS hit clearance to some degree.

Rodimus 'Cron - yeah, gonna get that one if it'd a thing, which it probably is. That it's "Hot Rod" rather than Rodimus Prime makes me think it's more likely SG Hot Rod.

Honestly, if Bludgeon had a retooled chest and maybe feet and crotch, I would probably be perfectly OK with him. those parts are what are throwing me off the most with that model

Another Hasbro Pulse Transformers stream has been announced for 11am ET on 16th May, mostly focusing on the Robosen Optimus Prime, but there are also going to be more Generations reveals. I don't think they'll reveal Legacy Wave 4 so soon after Wave 3, that's most likely being saved for San Diego Comic-Con, but perhaps they'll show some more Toxitron Collection figures or things for Buzzworthy Bumblebee.

We now have images of a completed Miner Megatron. This is a retool of the WFC Siege Megatron toy with a new headsculpt, something rather surprising since it's just a subtle change from the head that came with the Arctic camo version of this mold. There is also a new pick axe accessory and a drill that is affixed to the tank turning it into a drill tank. The details of the release are not 100% certain as it seems to be a toy for SDCC but also one that should be readily available online.

You'll let us know what you think.

Yes to all of him. They really nailed the look he had in Chaos Theory/Origins. I’d forgive them for using this mold one last time to give us a proper transforming Autobot/Lost Light Megatron.

I always wanted a version of Miner Megs. The previous two options were either the 3P toy, or the Siege mold with the repros and a buttload of add-ons for an imperfect result.

So I'll be sure to het this one... who will ironically have the repros upgrade along some 3D printed upgrades to be truly perfect. For starter, that drill is way too small and the way it's positioned, the best it can do to a rock wall is to scratch some obscenities. It needs a big-ass drill that would convert into a sword/shield combo or something.

I'm looking forward to it. 8-)

For those who missed him, he is getting restocked at BBTS for $90. You can find the link below, we thank fellow Seibertronian AcademyofDrX for letting us know.

What do I think? It looks neat, but the tip of the drill barely extends past the treads, which would make it almost useless as an actual driller. Lucky it's just a toy and they don't have to worry about that, I guess...

The Japanese love their drill-tanks since the 1960's at the very least. But rare are those with a LOGICAL drill.

I can't help with the size of the bit, but there is an easy solution hiding in plain sight for the position. Instead of putting the arm "canon" on the top of the tank, just put it between the drill bit and the axe to move the drill bit forward of the treads. At least that is what I'm going to do.

Btw, don't bother googling "top 10 drill tanks".

In recent history, I recall "Powerdasher" Zetar from the Selects line, and "Nosecone" from the Combiner Wars Computron set (that's the CW version, not Warriors Unite). Those didn't make sense either

It make sense if your goal is to give people trypophobia by poking tiny holes all over the place.

Well, not every CC was rereleased. Kingdom Rodimus was the exception to the seemingly (now established) pattern. However it could quite possibly be that Hasbro felt that Rodimus was such a popular character, they probably produced far more than Jetfire and Skylynx initially. Thus the reason why Kingdom Rodimus was so heavily discounted at various different times (even being 50% of for a time). Even today, almost 2 years after its release, you can find Kingdom Rodimus for *basically* retail price on the secondary market. BBTS and Amazon still have them in stock.

With Motormaster it seems Hasbro just went "Back to Formula" Producing a specific amount initially, then seeing a demand for more, they are doing a second run. Seems to be working with CC for the most part. I bet they could even do a 2nd run on SG Jetfire, and it would sell well (I'm sure they wont but...) Although if you REALLY are wanting to add Armada Prime to your collection (this will be for SURE the first CC I am skipping as it dosen't fit in my collection), I wouldn't wait, I'd get it while its available through an online retailer. However if you DO happen to miss out, just wait a year or so...
