Why no beachcomber reissue?…. In a void over here…

[@rickgrivera]

Speaking of SS-86 Magnus - is that guy ever getting reissued? Seems like he went from not yet being out to immediately being scalped for $150.

[@leftylion816]

Have no worries, friend. I felt the same way about CC Armada Prime and it was reissued. It will be back.

[@fennekin1750]

Same! Please reissue him! I really want him!

[@lordmegatron7006]

My favorite toy as a kid was my thrilling 30 orion pax that I still have. And now I can get bludgeon from that comic he comes with. Hype

[@ExaltedArchvile]

I'm personally happy that it seems to check all the boxes for what I wanted out of a Commander Class Optimus Prime. Looks like MP-44 but seems to transform more like MP-10. Can't wait to see the trailer and accessories and see if they had as much thought and budget put into them.

[@Auto-Bot_Commander]

I personally hope they sell the trailer and accessories separately for those who don't want them. Or maybe sell the figure with both the accessories and additionally without the trailer just to give more choice

[@fennekin1750]

Yea, same. I think both SS86 and KGDM Optimuses will have a place in the collection; no need to sell off KGDM or anything. They're both awesome. I have KGDM and love him. And I honestly have no idea if I'll get SS86.

[@nekodachi-]

We wanted an SS86 Optimus Prime, not a 12 inch pianist. 😅

I'd be so happy if he came with the piano!!

[@PuppeteerGaming]

Interesting, the Optimus doesn't appear to have any 5mm ports on it! Hoping we aren't seeing the gimmick phased out just yet

[@ryanyeng74]

Looks like prime is cooking a "masterpiece".

[@brickingduck]

👍👍💀💀💀🔥🔥

[@Squiddlewheel]

Piano man 86 variant? Sign me up.

[@grayj7441]

Ruckus into Sureshot

[@NiallByrne]

Glad to see the Tarn mold used for more characters. Kinda wonder if they could retool it to make a G1 style Megatron.

[@sidewalkfish9256]

@@NiallByrne I think he’s to small

[@twistedgaming9185]

I think Megaplex is more doable.

[@PolarityOfNeoSoulCity]

When I see the new SS-86 Commander Class Prime... - "Ah the return of the MP-44 Backpack, with a VENGEANCE" - I fully expect there to be upscales and Backpack upgrade kits to de-kibble the figure after a few months of fandom back and forth - I fully expect PerspectiveEnd to make this his new punching bag while he glazes Magic Square - I wonder how 86 Megatron will look now, since it seems that this prime does lean harder into the Sunbow (If it's just Siege again, I'm gonna genuinely only get Prime)

[@bissdoesyoutube]

ss86 optimus looks great, probably the best looking chug scale g1 optimus but that backpack though...

[@Darkus_Da_Cyber-Dragon]

I know it’s the 40th anniversary but geez so many Optimus Primes this year 😂

[@mindwipe8788]

SS’86 Commander class Optimus Prime from what I’ve seen has definitely met my expectations, can’t wait to see the trailer along with his ion blaster, Roller and either his attack drone or Energon axe.

[@j.mcgrath3695]

Really impressived with Hasbro's retool for Ruckus. I regret getting all the upgrade kits for my Bludgeon i have now after seeing this Stormbringer Bludgeon. I still have that comic and am gonna have to read that again to refresh my memory. I like the new Prime and can't wait to see the ss86 Megatron.

[@360degressboy]

I can already hear 2019 jobby screaming in my head

[@themandalorian1978]

Looks like he is ready to play Benny And The Jets.

[@WhyLagWhy]

Looks like it’s safe to cancel my ER prime preorder 😅

[@fennekin1750]

Um...no...? You can have both! Both are good Optimus Primes! One's G1-based Optimus, one's G1 Optimus.

[@LoneWolfInsane]

for the love of god, if they don´t make an idw crankcase out of the ruckus

[@zphyr6780]

Maybe he comes with the piano🤷🏻‍♂️

[@cutoutpunk]

I was trying to be good and not buy a group but Ruckus... damn it!

[@theacro9108]

Wow again I really hope that they don’t become scalped

[@jonny.prime.the.collector]

Yeah I really hope

[@nekodachi-]

Aw, man. I really want Ruckus, but I am not at all interested in another Bludgeon. - sigh -

[@Mythic2099]

piano accessory is so peak! Lock in hasbro!!

[@ViewerIsLame]

It looks like they used the Gamer Edition Optimus Prime head for the 86 Commander.

[@odaichi17]

I hope it looks better in hand

[@thefirstguyjaek255]

Yeah that’s INCREDIBLE

[@dillonthunder2011]

I'm literally waiting on the exact date of July 14th to see if anything comes out about this 86 Optimus Prime preorder

[@toxikbot5780]

I will finally get a bludgeon and mayhem

[@gault6546]

saw some people complaining about Optimus' backpack but i honestly don't mind the extra bulk. also idw bludgeon is so ugly i love him

[@Mosthero1]

While I don’t really mind the backpack I can’t help but echo JobbyTheHong whenever I see it

[@CursedCrew1981]

Ya'll may have missed this, but after this we will have the entire Thunder Mayhem team. Bludgeon Ruckus Mineswipe Needlenose Spinister The entire team will have had modern releases, hopefully you picked up Spinister in 2020😅

[@Trebleshot]

I'm hoping this version of Ruckus is closer to Windsweeper and Crankcase in height than Beachcomber is, especially with those remolded legs.

[@WhyLagWhy]

Finnaly!!!

[@nerdycatgoddess]

can't wait to buy it but holy cow that backpack!

[@jamescoleman5020]

SS86 Optimus is truly prime!!!

[@fennekin1750]

I was waiting to see what the Mayhem Bludgeon looked like cuz I really want Bludgeon. This Mayhem Bludgeon and Ruckus looks pretty cool. Does he still have the sword? I'm assuming so. But, I think I like the original LGY Evo colors for Bludgeon. I would love to get him. Hope everything works out so that happens. Ruckus looks surprisingly different to LGY Evo Beachcomber. I almost didn't recognize him! 😆 And, its great to finally see SS86 Optimus, at least in some capacity. He looks pretty good from what I can see. Very cool, very accurate. I think both SS86 and KGDM Optimus will have a place in our collections; I don't think anyone should sell off their KGDM one for this one. They both are awesome Optimus Prime figures that belong in your collection. I have KGDM Optimus and love him alot, so I know that if I get SS86, I definitely will never sell my KGDM one. Also, playing piano is definitely something Optimus would do! 😆

[@slicerneons3300]

I did that new Bludgeon, held off on the Legacy one since I heard abiut this. Ruxkus looks good. I would double dip if they repainted this Bludgeon into a G1 version of RiD15 Blastwave. Maybe repaint Legacy zstrongarm as Nightra so he can chase her down

[@rickycannon5366]

Don't we have enough Optimuses.

[@ZedMazaus480]

Sigh...no. It's a dibilitating adiction that not even Primus can cure. LOL

[@spanglezekankleplushapalooza]

You can never have enough Optimi

[@Squishyk9]

I love the bludgeon though the colors could have been a bit better its really cool to see hits Idw version

[@M.Xstudios88]

something about the commander class optimus, it seems so fake to me, it is very similar to the MP (which is a bad thing in my opinion) So much for being the commander class.

[@Sentinel009-d7p]

Why is it a bad thing? Isn't mp prime a good figure?

[@M.Xstudios88]

@@Sentinel009-d7p It is mostly in my opinion that it feels over complicated engineering to simply make it accurate to the animation, in a simple and straightforward transformation (something that ER achieves perfectly).

[@mctankies]

Bludgeon looks beautiful.

[@toxikbot5780]

Niceeee!!!!

[@grayj7441]

Octopunch, Stranglehold, Carnivac, Snarler

Same

[@user-kr4ex1um1n]

I am actually going to buy the bludgeon and ruckus even if i already have the legacy evolution bludgeon and tarn but i want to complete the whole mayham attack squad

[@Brandon-McFadden.]

SS86 Optimus prime looks really good so far hope we get a better look soon. Bludgeon and Ruckus are pretty cool but not really my thing.

[@kevinp.h157]

Why are the g1 decepticons getting all the attention as of late? And I seriously thought that the ss86 Optimus was the mp one for a second there, I’m mixed about that but I need to see more

[@lastraven8575]

Personally i worry about prime because 1. I hate jigsaw puzzle transformers 2. I hate fiddly transformations and scaling down a masterpiece sounds like it will need tweezers and a magnifying glass

[@sapphireeniigma-8027]

I'll take the piano too

[@camaradiop3731]

6:02 When will this Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime be released?

[@hostnewbody]

Could have just made us a Triggercon three pack.

[@primerex04studios42]

I’m probably gonna pass on this Optimus, I keep my earthrise in truck mode, and get the Amk pro prime and Megatron.

[@maximus.clarke]

Not gonna lie, bludgeons packin

[@jasonparis5635]

Does prime come with a piano 🎹?

[@glauciarochelle]

maybe he's singing for elita one

[@IsaacBair]

Are a former or regular employee of hasbro?

[@megalosaurusstudios2]

I do wish bludgeon was the marvel design, cus in my opinion the stormbringer design is ugly

[@chadking375]

I love how edgelord chaos cultist Bludgeon is partnered with……. Ruckus. That’s Bludgeon at his best, this crazy chaos space marine wannabe, with goofy morons being his go-to minions.

[@lesliepark728]

The prime looks good, but as a wise man (jobbythehong) once said "Back lives matter"

[@IsaacBair]

I don't see any trailer parts on this gut tho

[@kendrickvieraramos]

I can’t believe I’m wrong ruckus is not cancelled but I will be getting him but I will sell bludgeon

[@HinewGundam84]

I'm so hoping that the rumors are true I like the earthrise prime but after watching some reviews I noticed how weird it is like the arm and the paint all over the face is bad

[@Sentinel009-d7p]

There aren't any reviews of the figure yet?

[@ZedMazaus480]

I hate to say it, but I've never been so glad to hear that a Proto-Man prediction was wrong. Sorry Proto, but if they had just upscaled the earthrise mold for the SS86 commander class figure I would've gone ape S#@$ on Hasbro. I'm talking full boycot campaigne on them. The constant reusing of molds endlessly for each one has me at wits end. I don't mind them doing aditional runs so people can get a chance at hard to get figures. But for the love of Hotrod's spoiler they've done WFC Siege Megatron & WFC Earthrise Optimus to Scrapping death! For everyone's sanity Hasbro throw those god forsaken mold in a dark deep dungeon that no epic hero could ever retrieve them from for all eternity!! With that rant of fustration over. I like what I hear about this figure so far. I just hope it's release date isn't on/around MP-60's & MPG-09's release date. My poor wallet can't handle that kinda strain. LOL 😂

[@saimaidar9417]

4 Times and only two characters.

[@BurntRusted2020]

I want Ballimus prime not Pianimus prime

[@johnstrife7]

They could've just copied magic square and downscale or upscaled the legends figure to a commander class or take inspiration from it but they chose the trash that is mp44

[@toadsavage9218]

Dude I hope the pictures for ss86 get better because that is UGLY compared to ER

[@TomE.V.]

FIRST!!

[@trash44gzgigasmashkaza50]

Why they cant make a bludgeon with the pretender head and his normal G1 alt mode than this ridiculous repaint ugly trash

[@RetroRenegade8706]

Part of me thinks this is fake. Idk why

[@theoneandonlyufomini-bot]

Yeesh, 86 prime is not interesting at all
