There has to be a pattern here. They've gotta be putting these out with the mindset of seeing how well Combiners do in a main line - or, even, maybe CW done so well they've figured it's time to bring back Combiners in full force.

Either way, I'm kinda wanting to buy as many variations of these molds as possible and build an army of Abominuses. They're really fun molds.

Abominus was great! (No, it wasn't. But it was.)
I've seen some of the comments, but that Skulk character is definitely a new mold with two swords that turn into a big sword, right?

Yep, 2 swords make one giant tail-like sword, like Scorn's lance arm

But you also seem to be missing the point of the whole thing: DEMON. COMBINER. NAMED. INFERNOCUS.

You mean the ultimate Edgelord name trying to dethrone Reaper from Overwatch? Nah.

Quintessa can be whatever the hell the creators want it to be I mean are you seriously complaining about this like who actually has a problem with this?
What the hell would you call it Alpha-Q the creditably bland and unoriginal name from the mess that was Energon which also used old names for different names such as Ironhide?
Who gives a damn about crap like this unbelievable just absolutely ridiculous.

Pssst... dude. Dude. Dunno if you knew this or not but... uh... ahem... IT ISN'T THE 1980's ANYMORE. Quintessa works as both a planetary name and a name name. Honestly, it's a really neat way to reuse it.

Galactic Prime is entitled to his opinion. You don't have the right to attack him for it.
Do you need help with that time out that you keep saying you're going to take?

I'm not sure why they came in a movie thread if they think everything from the movies is crap.
Anyways this is mostly redeco but quite a fitting one and looks pretty cool. Not sure if I'd get it but it's a possiblity.

I mean is stuff like this acceptable what does stuff like this contribute?
It's nitpicking just for the sake of nitpicking and it's extremly anoyining and I doubt anyone else actually enjoys reading stuff like that even if they share the same opinion.

Obviously I'm seeing the ban threat (and for good reason I'm a easily angered prick)
My break that I'm talking about I said I would be taking once the movie is out and the big news stops coming in.

Stop and think about which post is in violation of the rules.
The guy who is expressing his dislike for the use of the name Quintessa for a character rather than a planet, or the guy who is attacking another person for expressing their opinion.

Definitely wanna see better pics of him first - especially in poses - but my interest is quite a bit more piqued than the prime version

Your right about that so I'll lay off just to be clear I meant it to be a question not an attack although I guess it was an angry question.
This would be great if we had a ignore button to put whoever we want on so we can't see their posts.

Well that's fantastic thanks guys.
Kinda wished I knew before but better now then never and getting banned.

To some degree, it seems like it, more paint apps, seemingly higher parts counts...

Looks almost entirely like the last release of this set. In fact, the new member looks like it converts in the same way as Blot...
Anyway, most likely the price is going up because it's a movie toy and "inflation", "rising costs", "the year 2017 prices", whatever excuse.
But the combination STILL looks like a complete mess (unfortunately). They should have at least ADDED KIBBLE, in the form of some proper hands and feet.

I see a point; I never got Abombinus.
Hey BTW.

I am pretty sure they arent upscaled, we have already seen one of these molds used for this same line and its the same size as the rest of the legions:

Still salty about the constant reuse of the ROTF Optimus. I wish they'd make a new one already. Bumblebee makes sense as his design has partially reverted, but Prime's a new bot now.

Deadput wrote:The blot and winrazor repaints look like they have 5mm hand holes.
I think those are 3mm holes, actually, which would be consistent with the original versions of those molds.
Dr Lockdown wrote:Phase three: Wait, I always wanted Prime Predaking! Yay!
Don't we already have one of those?

I was thinking Unicron Trilogy too, but my mind went to Bruticus Maximus.
Though now I'm also seeing Retrax now, actually.
Kurona wrote:No-one else gonna point out the bit pointing to the chest saying what looks like 'Decodable Glyphs'?
I didn't think it was worth commenting on, since IIRC that's going to be a line-wide gimmick and thus its presence didn't surprise me.

Finding a way to do that, especially if you want them to not just sit off to the side in the uncombined modes, strikes me as probably being more trouble than retooling (or possibly even replacing) the limb guys would be, considering how they're designed.
Posted by Dr Lockdown on March 15th, 2017 @ 9:48pm CDT
And I also meant me personally. Never picked up the Legions or the gift set.

Its grimlock, you can tell with the autobot logo and how its not the same deco, but that just means they are usig that mold twice this time in this line.
Also, for everyone wondering the price, the pricepoint for full combiners in this line was revealed to be 34.99 USD in previous listings.

I got some entertainment value out of the first version of this BH Legends farce for all of the first minute I owned it and then buyers remorse set in. I feel sorry for the parents that go out and snag one of these sets for their kids only to find that little Timmy is going to be all kinds of pissed off and frustrated within 5 minutes of getting it opened up.
