Both figures are fully articulated and include various weapon accessories. Price: $74.99 Marvel Legends Series Death's HeadDeath's Head has had an interesting journey at Marvel Comics, beginning life as a minor Transformers character before spinning out into his own series in the Marvel Universe. Finally, this robotic bounty hunter is being added to the long-running Marvel Legends line. Death's Head comes with six accessories, including a shield and ax, and he comes packaged inside a box inspired by the character's vintage collector's card. Price: $39.99

Megatron is the last year's Amazon Miner Megatron with a couple of extra bits

Siege Megs just needs to get in the bin by this stage.
The designer of the Siege Megs mould must have some compromising pictures of Hasbro execs.

Death's Head looks fine, but I'd love to see him in his original green armour one day.

It's an unobtainable exclusive so I have just wiped it from my mind.

Pulse will have them, though you may need to know someone with Pulse Premium to get it.
Want one?

I'll gamble that optimus retool will be available elsewhere. I absolutely do not want another Siege Megatron repainted as Megatron. Like, that literally kills this set for me.
Death's Head, I'm also assuming this is gonna unobtainable for me.

i already have miner megatron and orion pax, but i would pick this set up if it was on discount. that is unlikely to happen so i'll smile and wave to it as it goes. i already have a death's head and don't feel the need for another, though that is a nice death's head.

It'll only be on Pulse it doesn't firstly sell out at SDCC and then to Premium Pulsers.

I can't quite get over how uninspiring the Transformers set looks.
In part I think it's the photography - there's a world of quality between this and the GI Joe Classified photography which often almost sells me on the most unlikely of characters.
Also they just look kind of cheap. If they were going for an energy effect on Megatron's weapons they really should have used some clear plastic (Legacy Armada Starscream suffers for this as well). His hammer looks like a half-melted Chewit has been grabbed by some kind of claw.

Where have I seen the Megatron Sword before? According to wiki, the sword (and hammer) is a new piece that's based on what he used to kill "Cy-Kill" in Megatron Origin |

That is some pretty extreme remoulding on the Prime. They've done an exceptional job of taking a perfectly good Cybertronian Optimus and turning it into something that looks like a pound shop knock off.

Really? Makes me think the exact opposite. Much prefer this and would be all over it if it was a single release

Really? Makes me think the exact opposite. Much prefer this and would be all over it if it was a single release I kinda agree with both. WfC version has a good looking vehicle mode, but a cheap and silly looking robot. Meanwhile the IDW version is the reverse. It's got a pretty good robot, but a cheapy looking vehicle. All said, I prefer the IDW version by a mile. |

Got it: the hilt is very similar to the sword with POTP Nemesis Prime tfwiki.net/wiki/Nemesis_Prime_(G1)#Power_of_the_Primes and the subsequent WFC version |

Does that include the Netflix individual release as well as the Netflix Spoiler pack one? They are very similar with miner differences
I'm going blind seeing so many Megatrons.

Something not quite right there, the one top right in the image is the first Netflix TRU one.
Make a good bingo card that. I've got five of them but I'd like a couple more.
