Yeah, but there's also that card that shows Megatron as a Gladiator, and a Decepticon Ark - I doubt that any of these ideas will show up in either the toyline or the show.

Hmm. Dinomus as in Rodimus or Optimus?
But then he has the Unicron reformating background.
New name for Dinobot 2?

Might be a nod to BW2 Thrustor.

It kinda looks like Cheetors head.
Or a crown?

Well, it looks like we have a mystery on our hands, gang. Let's split up and search for clues. I'll go with all the girls, you lot take the dog.

Surprised T-Wrecks is in Kingdom packaging. I had assumed it would be in Selects.

Oh collectors, half peeling the sticker off the collector's card. You cray.

That was how it was initially reported - I'm half way through moving the leaked posts over.
I think the feeling was that Selects availability is online retailers & comic shops and giving them as exclusives elsewhere (Redwing) might have been a mistake so future exclusive are all in the mainline, albeit with sub branding at times (like Target's Decepticons last year and Amazon's Battle Across Time this year)

I am so confused. If exclusives are now the main line how can they be exclusives?

They are Kingdom toys and have Kingdom numbering but are still exclusives. Just like they've been last few years.

But...but...but...
If something is an Exclusive then surely it can't be considered as part of the Main Line?

AND THE MAINLINE SHOULD BE THE CHILDREN'S LINE, NOT THE COLLECTOR'S LINE!

If something is an Exclusive then surely it can't be considered as part of the Main Line? -Ralph For as long as exclusives have been a thing, they have shared their branding with the mainline. This is not a new thing. The omnibots were released under the "The Transformers" banner, while being mail away exclusives. Botcon and TFSS 2016 Predacus, Wreckage, and Thunder Mayhem were released under the Combiner Wars branding. The Target exclusive Rainmakers are Siege. Target's Thrust and the Thundercracker/Skywarp set are marketed as Earthrise. |

Looks good, and I prefer the proportions on this to T30 (though I've never owned that one either).
Budget tight this year though, so doubt I'll be picking one up. Somewhere down the maybe list...

Kingdom has been hit or miss for me, because I have no real interest in Fosilisers or even Beast Wars. I find my interest is tailing in general, too. Artfire I can justify buying because I've not bought much else, and he's a mad G1 repaint. SS86 and the Dinobot Road and that's about it.
The completionist in me is only interested in the G1 I don't have updates of now, like the Autobot Targetmasters (and we have Artfire and Stepper before Sureshot and Pointblank, madness!). I'm not buying more Primes or Starscreams. I'm done.

Kingdom has been hit or miss for me, because I have no real interest in Fosilisers or even Beast Wars. I'm glad Kingdom's come and BW has got it's turn in the spotlight, but the toys .... I think because I like the original BW toys so much I've never felt they really need upgrading. Indeed I Toy-Fu'd all my T30 BW Upgrades a few years back. The new versions.... are OK, but I can't help thinking the original, especially Op and Megs, were much better. The Predacons, the 2 Dinosaurs in particular, all feel much too complicated. I tried TFing Blackarachnia and couldn't, and the other 2 just scare me! The only one of the remakes I've really warmed to is Airazor. Loving the Fossilisers though, something mad and new. And the standard of the G1 remakes continues high. Love Huffer and Inferno though there's something about Warpath that hasn't quite clicked even though he's probably more acurate. Possibly because he is a tad too complicated, possibly because the previous Generations Warpath was so good. Not sure. I find my interest is tailing in general, too. Artfire I can justify buying because I've not bought much else, and he's a mad G1 repaint. Selects is knocking out some great stuff, loving that line. Mad obscure repaints and stuff that doesn't quite fit in the main lines. SS86 and the Dinobot Road and that's about it. I'm waaay behind on SS86, only got the first deluxes this week. I can't say it's really doing it for me because I felt the Legends TR Blurr and Kup were superb and very much good enough. Do like their Lightpiping though. The completionist in me is only interested in the G1 I don't have updates of now, like the Autobot Targetmasters (and we have Artfire and Stepper before Sureshot and Pointblank, madness!). I'm not buying more Primes or Starscreams. I'm done. Yes, I'd like to some older less prominent stuff done. For Prime and Starscream etc to get my attention again they'd need to bring something new to the table like their CW and TR versions did |
