New Stock Images of Transformers One Sentinel Prime and Bumblebee Prime Changers

I wish they did something with those pointy shoulders, as well as the fins on her legs. Also, in ship mode, that bulbous bottom on the front kinda reminds me of a turkey neck...

I agree about the shoulders. And it looks as if they are using those big spikes on the shoulders in their boast about it being "23.5 inches tall". Which seems like cheating. I generally don't count protrusions towards a figure's overall height. For me, when the robot is standing in a normal pose, it's the height from head to foot which is what I count...

That sounds like a good idea until you assemble furniture and find out the toys don't fit

It looks like they didn't even build in shoulder rotation, but the transformation design and stability may have contributed to that choice, too.
Edit: scratch that, there is at least one stock image with limited shoulder rotation, I missed that.

Those flaps on her back can probably be folded.

It isn't great, but it's there. If it's a full rotation then simply closing the wings a little will fix any restrictions.

That is kind of subtle and I can see how it could be overlooked. It's a small enough thing that it can be ignored, unless you're the kind who is annoyed by any lack of symmetry.
Thing is, if you are one of the (seemingly many) unfortunates who have fallen victim to this mis-matching, what can you DO about it? Will Hasbro send out replacement parts if you contact them? Or will you have to send the whole figure back, and they'll send you out another, and risk them doing the same thing all over again? We know what the problem is, but affected persons don't have a solution.
Perhaps Seibertron could set up an "exchange" thread, wherein people who have these mis-matched accessories can compare them, find compatible mis-matches, and arrange swaps online? If it'll start the ball rolling, my Shrapnel figure has two copies of the "4" stamped leg/gun accessories. If there's anyone out there who needs to swap out a "2" or a "3" copy of theirs, and get a "4" replacement? Let me know and I'll arrange for my minions to make the trade!
Perhaps the code stamps on the box can shed some light on which pieces we're getting with the figure.

I really wouldn't put it past Hasbro if there was at least a little bit of influence here.
Also I really want to see Tow-Line repainted into Robot Masters Wrecker Hook to go with the upcoming Straxus.

Is Straxus definitely happening now? I remember a listing was leaked a couple of years ago, and he was intended to be a Leader in the first year of legacy based on his most recent comic design, but he was replaced with Transmetal 2 Megatron. Has another leak come out recently?

You can still get the Ark pretty much everywhere at a reasonable price.
The thing seems to have been over-produced so he's on perma-sale at many places.
That is, depending in what country you live, of course.

I wouldn't call anything definite until we see it in stores, but there's usually some truth to the rumors even it does mean they get shuffled around. With Jhiaxus in 2022 and Tarn in 2023 I think 2024 could be Straxus' year as the next semi-obscure Decepticon sub group leader.

If I hadn't just ordered the Hiya Ghidorah figure and Hot Toys ROTJ Darth Vader I'd be all over this. But aside from my wallet, I don't think I'll have the shelf space...
So she's about 23' tall with all the shoulder spikes and everything...does that mean she'll be eye-to-eye with the Ark figure?

Silly question, but why get her if you're planning on never transforming it? Why not a non-transforming model of the same size should one be released?

Probably because there's no guarantee of the latter ever happening while this one is for certain getting released and could be the only large-sized release of the Nemesis we may ever get from Hasbro/Takara.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Relieved by the final colour palette.

Fun fact: My Beast Wars MP collection? Each has only been transformed once since I bought them. MP-32 (2016) to MP-50 (2020). Personally, for the price point and fiddly nature of some transformations (points to Dinobot and Megatron) I'm apprehensive about doing more than a pose and dusting.
As far as Nemesis goes. My City Bots are permanently in City Mode. Because they are too big/tall to be practical Transformer figures. Same would apply here. As said, I like the Bot Mode. The aesthetic reminds me of Beast Machines Vehicons. But space is all important.

Honestly I'll probably do the same. I only transform the Ark to robot mode on very rare occasions, 95% of the time he's in ship mode, positioned upright to look like it's on a launch gantry. I mostly started doing this because Combiner Wars Devastator has been the centrepiece of my collection for nearly eight years now, and having a much taller robot standing next to him on the shelf just didn't feel right. The Nemesis will most likely be the same, I'll transform her every now and again, but most of the time she'll be in ship mode and positioned upright. That's why I'm happy that the ship's bottom fin can fold up, so it doesn't take up too much room on a shelf.

It's the curved section on the bottom toward the front. None of the iterations have that and are generally more streamlined. That's what's different.

But the entire ship is thinner/narrower than this toy version.
I’m planning on getting this, but I’m waiting…
As much as I like the ship mode, I’m not spending $200+ to have it.
I also think it’s more than okay to have any figure despite how little you may transform it.
I hardly transform any of my figures, and I still enjoy having them all.

In both modes, my two ships will be displayed... Right on the floor.
Maybe in front of my "space station" featuring my Guardian Robots and Omega Supreme.
But a strong display stand that can support a full titan ship would be very appreciated for sure. I may end up having to customise them myself.

I think this is a Titan I for sure will be waiting on a sale for.

Like the Ark she'll probably be displayed in ship mode. In the fabled space I hope to have sometime.
I got the Erial and Dion two pack today. I guess I lucked out on getting them from Gamestop online. Even though I have Energon Omega Sentinel as my version of that character I'm calling my War Dawn set complete. Those episodes really captivated my imagination as a kid; just enough pre war Cybertron to entice, not enough to overstay it's welcome or show a lot of the flaws. I'm glad these two finally have toys and Kup work as well for Dion as he did for Orion.
Legacy Arcee As Ariel, on the other hand, I'm less impressed with. Well, she had no alt mode kibble on her at all, so what could they do? It's a kind-of neat callback to the only other use of Ariel that's almost certainly a coincidence - Energon Arcee. Still glad to get her! I never thought they'd actually make her.

While that is not what fans were expecting, it does explain several elements in Tarn's sculpt that are more akin to Bludgeon than Tarn like the plates on his thigs, the eye holes on the upper chest and the vent at the centre of his chest, just to name a few.
Of course, it could also mean nothing, so we'll wait for more info.

He won't be, we know Bludgeon is based on Tarn. The thing is, I assumed he would have a lot of retooled parts and now it looks like it will be a redeco with a new head.

At the very least, a more solid retooled chestplate who won't rely on a tiny CLEAR PLASTICS hinge...

I have a feeling that you will have to have something custom made, I've not had any luck finding off the shelf to work for anything large that I've bought. There used to be a place that sold stands for model airplanes that were three pronged and were moveable so they could adjust to fit a specific body mold but the place I had bookmarked no longer carries them.
The only place I've seen it now is on ebay, called the Calibre Wings Router display base. The problem is I don't know which ones would be suitable for a certain craft, some list the sizes others scale but I'm not familiar enough with scales to know how big/small 1/72 is in measurements. These would likely work for Seeker jets but probably not ARK and Nemesis.

I don't know if you're referring to Flightpose, but they haven't had stock or any communications since at least last year. I have a half dozen of them, ostensibly for Seekers, and had planned to get more.
The weight of these toys is probably going to be too much for many toy stands, but maybe there are other furniture display accessories that can manage. I'm not planning to look until I have the Nemesis in-hand.
