Love these!
Of course, I should be saying is:
"WHAAAT!? BANZAITRION & BOMBSHELL AREN'T MEGATRON & BUMBLEBEE!!!"
Please do Krok next.

I am torn. Love action masters, love the toy heads, but way too big and way too expensive. Getting hero masher vibes from the starscream head

Too expensive for me, but this is the first time I've ever been even close to tempted by Super7's weird figures.
If they were two inches shorter, I'd definitely pounce on Bonzai-Tron. If they were two inches shorter, they would kill it with Actionmaster updates. Deluxe scaled actionmaster updates? Yes, please!
It really surprises me they chose Bombshell's actionmaster design over his sunbow.
Also surprising is Starscream's alternate toy head. It makes me realize in all this time, with so many companies (both licensed and illegal) doing starscream after starscream, not a single update has ever done a toy based head.
It also makes me realize after all this time, that Pretender and AM Starscream's grey head+black face is based on the original toy.

Fifty quid a go for seven inches is just not on.

Not a fan of either Prime or Starscreams moulds. Too generic. Bombshell and Banzaitron though, they are lovely. I dont know what I'd do with them though. The only things they'd go with are MP scale and I feel like Im done with that.
If they were an inch or two smaller I'd be much more interested.
If they were £40 each Id still probably thinking about getting both, but at £55 its probably going to be just one.

These certainly look interesting, but not quite fifty quid's worth of interesting, unfortunately. A shame, since I love that they've actually committed to the whole Action Masters thing. But a part of the whole Action Masters thing was, back in the day, also the opportunity to get characters that I'd been previously unable to, and in an inexpensive way. So...

Nice selection, I'd have liked to see an octopunch there. I wonder if they were working on the allagatorcon before they knew Hasbro were doing one
This is the sort of line you'd hope to see stuff like Autobot spike and fused Megatron/ratchet

Post by Llama God on Feb 20, 2021 9:21:45 GMT
Yeah, I'd certainly like to see some more comics-only or limited-appearance figures show up in this line. That Wave 3 certainly looks like something they started working on before Hasbro had revealed their own plans, which is unfortunate for them. The fact that we've had a Selects G2 Megatron and an Alligatorcon recently, and that there's a rumoured Wreck-Gar on the way means that Tarn is the only real draw for that wave. So I guess we can fully expect Hasbro to announce their own Tarn real soon now... Still, interested to see how these end up looking.

I read it as Alligatorcon from City Of Steel too.
Allicon is the Quintesson one, but we shall see. It could be Skullcruncher or Krok for all we know and they just guessed his name.

I think their G2 Megatron is a proper one, and not a G1 repaint. Which puts it leagues over Hasbro's.
I think if they were repainting G1, they'd do him in Marvel colors.

Oh I know they're pricey for what they are, but if they do a Xaaron they'll be getting money from me.
