Ah, that what we like, starting to go proper radio :-) I'm trying to distract myself from thinking about it. |

Okay so for fun, I did the math breaking down the three haslabs, and comparing them to if they were sold at retail. I leave Unicron out because that exists in it's own ecosystem. The others all more or less fit into existing pricepoints.
I'm also leaving the out anything that was included as a tier bonus, as we would have been charged the same without that tier funding. The micromasters were unlocked tiers, so I'm not including them as part of the cost.
So...
A commander retail (roughly) $80
Voyagers retail $30
Deluxes retail at $25
Cores retail at $10.
Victory Saber Haslab: $180
Victory Saber is a Commander and a Voyager.
Voyagers are a bit more than a third of the price of a commander, but as this is more for fun and I suck at even simple math, I'm going with a third.
Star Saber (commander): $120
Victory Leo (voyager): $60
Deathsaurus Haslab: $180
Deathsaurus is a commander and two cores. Cores are a bit over ten percent of the cost of a commander.
Honestly, this is above me. If someone wants to take a crack at more precise percentages, please be my guest. So I'm just taking a random ballpark for eagle and lion breast at $15 each? That sounds fairly realistic.
Deathsaurus (commander): $150
Eagle Breast (core): $15
Lion Breast (core): $15
Omega Prime Haslab: $270
We have two Commanders and a deluxe, and is the most expensive of the three.
This one is a lot harder for me, because I don't know the percentage of how much a deluxe is worth compared to a commander.
Also Optimus might be more comparable to a titan, as we don't quite know how intricate he is. So as Leo ended up roughly double the cost of a retail voyager, I'm gonna run with that for the deluxe and adjust it down a bit.
Optimus Prime (commander): $120
Ultra Magnus (commander): $120
Bluebolt (deluxe): $40
Honestly? Looking at it like this, I feel like we're getting the most bang for our buck with Omega Prime, over the others.
If anyone has a problem with my math, please have a go if you like. I'm the first to admit I probably screwed this up badly.

Can you do a days running/left of campaign as the x axis and then include the VicSaber and Deathsaurus numbers for a comparison graph?

Post by Philip Ayres on Mar 15, 2024 11:41:49 GMT
Should be doable, will need to gather the data for previous campaigns though and mighty busy today
Graphs are not my area of XL expertise though so you'll need to bear with

I did not back this, and I do not feel like I've lost anything. It's quite... freeing.

That was my experience with Deathsaurus. I was very much in "I'm still not sure how I feel about the last Haslab thing" right up until the final date for funding. The date passed and I shrugged and decided "apparently I wasn't that bothered". So far my position still remains that I think it is very nice for those folk that wanted it, I am glad they are enjoying it, but I don't have any sense of having missed out.

Yep, likewise. With Unicron I did feel like I'd missed an event - although in that case that event was going to be me re-evaluating all my life choices 12 months down the line. This time, I don't feel that. I'm likewise glad it funded, but also likewise not sad to be missing out. I am however disappointed that they didn't sneak in any last-minute bonuses given how well it did. But still, no extra bonus for backers means more cash for executive bonuses, which is what reaslly matters anyway.

Well that's moderately annoying. (Although I still wouldn't have got it even for that.)

You'd worry it'd end up feeling like an oversized knock off of the original. What new engineering would they need?
Galvatron white repaint would be nice on display though.

The Titanmaster isn't part of Omega Prime... which is what the label says is being shown. Omega Prime is the American name for God Fire Convoy after all, and the Titanmaster isn't part of that combination, he is the head of the robot that becomes the head of Brave Maximus... So not showing him off when showing off Omega Prime makes a certain sense to me.
