Fellow Seibertron users, Chuckdawg1999, and Thundertron have done video reviews for this figure, and fellow Seibertron user, D-Maximal_Primal, has furnished us with pictures of this evil Autobot!
Chuckdawg1999's video review
This is what Chuckdawg1999 had to say about this figure:
chuckdawg1999 wrote:For the sixth use of the mold, Goldbug feels like a first or second release. Other than that how desirable the figure is to you depends on how you feel about the Shattered Glass concept and if you like how the figure looks. Transformation is the same, articulation is the same, the accessories are the same, everything is the same as we saw before. By this point, everything just feels flat, but your experience might be different.
Thundertron's Video Review
Here's what Thundertron had to say about it:

Looking at my recent orders, it appears that the release date of Artfire is being changed to--it was November, but now says January.
Hurray for shipping delays... ugh.

Also, how garbage does the Buzzworthy Bumblebee look next to the Cliffjumper mold?
Another also, when is UK getting that Buzzworthy 4-Pack with the Nemesis Primal and Boxart Blackarachnia?

Since I'm getting the regular comics, I'm good...but yeah. Even I'll have to sit on issue 4 as issue 3 isn't out yet.

I'm sure it has already been thought of multiple times. VW and licensing is the problem with that mold apparently. I'm not sure we'll see it again unless something changes on VW's end.

This ^, a VW Beetle Bee is not something that we're likely to get often and may also be a one and done deal.

I got a shipping notice from Pulse on Goldbug. Pulse has always used Fedex in the past for anything I've ordered, and my order says they shipped it Fedex, but the tracking number is clearly a UPS number (with a Z for the second digit). The link for the tracking number leads to Fedex's site and comes up as invalid.
I went to UPS's site and the tracking number works, it should be here Sunday, with label created as the current status.
My Ravage is shipping UPS too. Might have something to do with all the shipping issues.

Same here, at least for Ravage the link says UPS Tracking number and goes to UPS' site, so looks like they fixed the site to match and use the proper shipper's website link.

I checked my credit card, no charge for Megatron yet, so we will see what happens.
Goldbug is pretty OK. He looks nice, but the fact that he uses that specific mold lets it down for me. He really needed to use the Hot Rod or Runamuck mold

Yeah, there's something going on with that. I paid for mine THEN got a Pulsecon Zartan, and Zartan just shipped but still no Megatron.

IF I had to guess, he'll ship by Wednesday afternoon. Last few times I got properly charged on a Friday, it shipped the following wednesday and arrived Friday

You got a Zartan in stock? Mine was a pre-order for February.

Emerje wrote:Not sure what happened to my Megatron... FedEx tracking says they dropped it off themselves Sunday, support says they didn't, they handed it off to USPS, which the tracking doesn't say as it usually does, and USPS doesn't show it in their system. FedEx has it listed as SmartPost, which normally does hand off to USPS, but the last SmartPost package I got, also from Pulse, had the note, "Delivery scheduled via FedEx Ground, not US Postal Service." Somebody's got it, I guess I need to contact Pulse next. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Emerje
Good luck bro, got mine today.

The weird thing is that they didn’t just go out of stock on Pulse, the listing got Orwelled from the site entirely. It would also be weird if they didn’t get the spotlight at some point in the series the way each SGC character has.
Or maybe I'm just hoping in vain.

If you're in Canada or the USA, I know a Canadian store that have a few in stock. 70$can plus taxes and shipping.
Look up Geek Stuff on Facebook.

Firstly, the one negative: that head is not heroic. He needed a remolded head.
Now the positives: this mold is a lot of fun, especially with the new accessories. They add so much more presence to the mold, and give it a whole new character. He has so much he can do, and is very modular with all the pieces. He's a lot of fun to play with, and he is great to look it, that color scheme is nice and sharp to go with all the silhouettes he can take on.
Overall, me really likey. Best SG figure so far.
Here he is with his right hand man

Why can't they push up Pulsecon Zartan too?

Well, it turns out they didn't push him up. I looked at the wrong SKU number. Mine says 12/01. Sorry, false alarm.
As for Zartan, I have him. My Emperor, though, was a preorder for February(!!!).

Also his tank mode is kinda neat, you can wedge that cockpit in there pretty securely without damaging anything.

Same. I wonder what this means for Jetfire, we've already had Goldbug skip line order. Having to wait until February to read issues 3 and 4 and possibly 5 is a little annoying, too.

I didn't think it was really up for debate anyway. In the comic the silhouette is that of Siege Magnus, and they don't do these toy/comic combinations without planning all that out in advance.

The Silhouette could have been the Kingdom version of the mold, too, as they're both similar enough.sol magnus wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:So I'm catching up to the few notable things that TFW leakers posted this weekend, as it was my birthday weekend and I was therefore not paying a whole lot of attention to that kind of thing, but I figured this was worth sharing, for those who continuously keep debating on what mold SG Magnus is going to use: the Siege Magnus mold/tooling has allegedly had the SG Magnus skull face as it's alternate head this whole time, make of that what you will.

As for the debate, though, people were holding onto hope that it could be the new Legacy Laser Optimus mold.
