Transformers Prime 10th Anniversary Boxset Update

Like neat that this might be a reissue and I’m totally down to get this set if it’s a real thing, but gee, this kinda feels like a dagger in the heart for Unicron Trilogy nerds like me.

That one was called "Zombie War Breakdown".

"War Breakdown" was TF: Prime Breakdown's Japanese name, with the "War" part consistently spoken onscreen in the Japanese version of the show. Same with their renaming Knock Out as "Medic Knock Out" for whatever reason.

I actually didn't catch that. Maybe this is a two pack of the legends figures then? guess will have to wait and see.

Wouldn't the packaging still be correct if there were 2 deluxe figures in there?

When Pulse uploaded their unboxing video for Cordon and Spin-Out, the box just said thier typical Deluxe Class labeling despite containing two Deluxes:

So it is entirely possible for that box to have a Vehicon and a Breakdown of some sort, especially since it looks bigger than a typical Deluxe Selects box.

Then you wouldn't like the first edition either. Bumblebee is kinda like Arcee where both the FE and RID have their pros and cons and are as good. For Arcee, that's great it means you have two good options. And for Bumblebee, well...

None of his figure are good,a bad design with a giant breast like Jazz or Prowl.Not sure what is this nerdy-expert-snobbish talk about the FE being better,it's mostly the same.

His head has the shape of MegamanX.

Really? Huh, I guess I should check out some reviews. The chest area looks a lot better on the FE imo, I just assumed it was better.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to come across as snobby, I’m just not in the loop on these figures and was going off pictures I had seen.

I definitely prefer FE Bumblebee over PRID Bumblebee.

I just watched a review and I still think it looks great as far as I can tell. Doesn't have the really long chest, weird head panel that sticks up in the back and never sits flush with the rest of the torso, or the arms that are always angled forwards that the PRID version has. Is it a QC thing with the FE? It looked like the chest may have some issues tabbing together.

They..... don't do that with this Selects style of packaging.

While the mold is available for Hasbro to use, its production cost is in "no man's land",[3] which stymies Hasbro's ability to put it in their normal price points. Why Hasbro elected not to make a toy of one of the show's few bad guys and left it up to Takara... we couldn't tell you.
This mold was differently redecoed/retooled each time into Swerve and Silas Breakdown; the latter was retooled further into Timelines Megatron.

Maybe it's a change? I hope it's not two Legion Class figures that due to inflation and limited production are being sold together at the Deluxe price point. Then again the box does say, Deluxe Figure not Deluxe Figures.

Where are you seeing that? I see Deluxe Class in the upper left, with no mention of figure or figures, the same way it does on the Selects Cordon and Spinout package.

The multilingual text in the bottom-right corner begins with "Includes figure, accessories, labels, and instructions."

That's "figure" as in singular.

It can't be because of the drop test. Hasbro stated that drop tests are only done for flying vehicles.

Fort Max is considered a flying vehicle or is it a flying vehicle in the "teaching puppies how to fly vein?"

Maybe Hoist/Trailbreaker for Breakdown and maybe the upcoming Tracks figure for the Vehicon. Reissues feel a little optimistic from Hasbro since it isn't G1, but I'd like to be surprised.
