And the mouth is painted silver, making it looks like he has silver lipstick. However, the back of the box shows the other headsculpt, showing his teeth, painted silver.
All signs show that there was a snafu somewhere and the batch of T-Wrecks toys found so far don't have the head originally planned for this actual toy. This toy has yet to be officially revealed by Hasbro and we'll see which headsculpt we get once it lands in Target.

His guns are a little thin, and he does have a funky backpack, that has two ports for weapon storage on each side, but goodness, is he fun to pose. I tried transforming him and got stuck on the legs, not entirely understanding how the foot folds into the rhino's thigh. But I'll figure it out. These two pics were taken because someone on Twitter asked how he scales with Primal. You can see the port in the last pic.

I can rightfully say that Kingdom Cyclonus is more complex than Jetfire. Pretty certain Rodinus will be as well.

A variant that so far was only ever found once.

Yup. Even T-30 Generations Jetfire is more complex than Siege Commander Jetfire. Plus I think people tend to forget that Siege Jetfire come with the equivalent of a deluxe toy of armor pieces, guns, and blast effects.

Great find! Hey, is it possible to bend the rhinoceros jaw backwards 180 degrees? So that it ends up hidden behind the torso?

This is as far back and down as it will go because of the rhino back. It is on a hinge that will go in but not out.

I'd say that is pushing it. The main reason I sold off my T30 Jetfire (and CW Seekers) is because that mold is pretty boring to transform. Not that Siege Jetfire blows T30 away, but it is definitely more complex. Simply look at the arms and legs.
For T30 the only real transformation to any of the limbs it tucking the feet inside the back of the leg before you tuck all 4 limbs under the jet without doing much else to them. Siege makes you collapse the legs and sort of collapse the arms each requiring many more parts than for T30. Torso portion is about equal between the two but Siege has the various bonus features like the opening cockpit that is TR compatible and the 5mm pegs on the underside that you can retract.
You can say T30 gives you more for your money, for sure especially comparing leader prices back then to commander prices now, but no way is T30 more complex.

This is gonna sound crazy, but I'd been looking at so many Beast Wars toy heads trying to figure out who it is, and none of them were clear enough match for it. But then I go looking elsewhere and someone else just IDs it right on the spot as not a Beast Wars toy.Emerje wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Not just Retrax. Manterror and Buzzclaw are there too.

Of all things, it's the Predacons Rising redeco of TF: Prime Cyberverse Commander class Predaking, purple forehead crest, purple wings, and all!

This is really neat, the card could've gone the easy route and just had Scorponok, Waspinator and possibly Terrorsaur (if we are indeed getting one) beneath Blackarachnia, but I love how the artist went the extra mile with the fanservice and put in a load of obscure Predacons and even an Aligned Continuity Predacon!

That's crazy! What an obscure choice to pull out, not sure if it really meshes well with the rest of the characters, but it's neat none the less.

His back beast legs don't have much range of motion as they are little stubby things on a ball joint. Other than that I really dig him

As for me, I'm off to see if my Target upon doors opening today have that Rhinox. (I was told a new shipment of voyagers will be in today, but of course it could be wave 1, 2 or 3).
*update*
Unfortunately it was more wave 1... . Oh well...at least I got to see Cyclonus for the first time in a while, I'm sure it won't be there long. Also met 2 of the local scalpers. The first, and older guy in his 70's waits there EVERY SINGLE MORNING, but he goes after Hotwheels, so yeah I have no beef with him. The other guy though...was after the exact same thing I was. I can only hope that if Rhinox had been there, he would have been civil enough to let me have one, instead of trying to snatch up both. Yeah scalpers are a very real problem.

I hope theirs have had a running change done to the shoulders, otherwise I'll likely cancel my order and wait for the toy colors one

Parts of the shoulder are coming installed upside-down and backwards, and they're pinned together, visually, they sit way lower than they should

The top of the shoulders will visually sit below his black shoulder pylon things
They should sit just above them and it fixes his silhouette
Apparently nothing needs to be "fixed" if you don't mind the pins facing outwards

I thought there was talk about having to remove the pins to swap them, but it seems like you could just unscrew the torso and biceps and just swap them.
Emerje
I don't think the biceps unscrew, the pics of the fix show that you have to bend the shoulder halves apart and pry them away from the shoulder joint

We also have a review for a toy not yet found in stores, deluxe Wingfinger. The review is from PrimevsPrime and we get a great look at the combiner Hasbro fashionned from the 3 fossilizers at the Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest 2021.

The translated text reveals that in this outcome, she becomes the leader of the Predacons. But what had people really talking when aronjlove posted this on Twitter was the obscure Beast Wars characters that were featured on the card art... along with art of an unexpected TF: Prime Predaking toy redeco!?
Further, our own Dominus Prime has pointed us to a post on the TFW2005 boards showing a new variant of a Dinobot card from a Wave 3 figure.
Whether this is just a "this could happen" variant, or an actual show spoiler for the upcoming Kingdom cartoon, this card sure shows an interesting upgrade(?) to Dinobot. In case this is a spoiler, his translated card text reads "Becomes a Herald of Unicron"
Have you found any new variant cards in the (slowly trickling out) Wave 3 Kingdom figures you've managed to find? Let us know!
Posted by AllNewSuperRobot on May 28th, 2021 @ 1:32pm CDT
Personally I'd have preferred a modern redesign of this Thrustor figure, than the one on the card.

And someone does the combined mode with tricranius, curious if that would look better or too out of place

That is my plan. Combine Wingfinger with Tricranius and Transmutate for a faction aligned combiner. I'll do the same for Paleotrex, Ractonite and the inevitable Wingfinger (hopefully Predacon) repaint.
Posted by Razorbeast88 on May 28th, 2021 @ 4:10pm CDT
I was just gonna combine paleotrex and Wingfinger with tricranius because I don't really like ractonite

This? Like that's his chest at the bottom and that's his head at the top? That doesn't look right. I thought the bits at the top was rocks.
