So I have the netflix earthrise prime, he's great, love the figure. SS86 prime looks nice but not 100 dollars nice, covered that constantly. Also constantly covered my moneyshit issues for even shit I want like the takara box sets the last several years.
Well, anyways... I got a used copy of the takara box set version of earthrise optimus that's basically what ss86 does but cheaper with none of the other figures I wanted from that set for around the price I got the netflix earthrise optimus a few years ago. Still too steep for me because it doesn't come with 2 extra tiny weapon robots, but I'd rather pay like slightly above what voyager price was a few short years ago for a voyager figure than 100 dollars plus tax and shipping for a voyager figure with a box trailer. He'll do well with my (thankfully cheap-ish due to used) romulus megatron.

I was actually contemplating getting ss86 megatron when I randomly saw he was in stock on hasbro pulse but shipping and tax bumped the price up to SEVENTY FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS WHICH I CANNOT DO and then I had the wonderful experience of watching him go from 'in stock" to "low stock" to "out of stock" int he span of like 2 minutes after. And then a bunch of new fresh scalper listings of 200-300 dollars blooming on ebay. Fuck everything lmao.

The Eva Prime looks alright. I'm hopping for a good Blaster, but I have my doubts with Takara's recent quality. I have already have two Acoustic Wave and this Soundwave doesn't look as good.

New Metal Cardbot designs are looking pretty decent, not as hit or miss as before. Starting to grow on me like the 52Toy cubes.

Star Toy Tracker should be out next month and it's looking so good.

Blaster should be decent given how simple of a design it is, MPG-19 being a repaint of MP-13 is very disappointing given the issues that mold has.
 
Optimus Prime He-Man is rather meh, but the Scareglow Starscream figure looks nice

There's a lot going on with Scareglow/Starscream but it pulls of some nice poses and always nice to get new bits for the Origins line.

I think mine had bad knees. I haven't had it one she shelf for a very long time and is packed in a box somewhere. Least you get an energy cube with this release!
 
Very odd choice making a character that's usually a "future-skeletor" into starscream. You'd think they'd do some guy that's a rival or associated with skeletor without being fully on his side like hordak. Still, it looks cool.
Scare Glow is a ghost. Starscream is a ghost. Makes as much sense to me as anything else in this bizarre crossover.
Personally, I'd rather have an Attak Trak transformer or maybe Beast Wars Battle Cat.

In his original story Scare Glow also didn't want to serve Skeletor. In every story he's summoned by skeletor to serve him which he doesn't want to do. He wants to eventually turn on his Master and make him suffer.
 
Starscream has been released from her cell and I'm going to make it everybody's problem.

No but seriously, I got a used Age of Primes Alpha Trion at my game shop. Another dumbass needed rent money and I got him for just 10 USD. He's pretty okay--mostly got him because I wanted a Trion in my collection. I hope I can run into an older figure of him, but I'm not paying scalper prices for him. I also saw a good steal for those Zuru mystery TF figures you get in a capsule---most likely will buy some for stocking stuffers. Evangelion Prime looks dope---might wait and see what price he'll be at. I saw that some reveals showed that some people in Hasbro were locking in (don't know if it was 3rd party a la Yolopark or what, but I was pleased with the Bayverse sculpts)

I mean if YOU got summoned from the future to help your past self you'd probably be pissed too if you had other shit you were doing.

I'm not sure/can't remember if that story is one of the "future skeletor" ones or "guy that just coincidentally looks like an even more irradiated skeletor" ones. Scareglow's weird like that.

I still haven't seen any of the age of the primes figures outside from red alert and wasp on rare occasions at physical stores, it's kind of freaky actually. I think I saw prima once when the first wave dropped and then the SS bayverse shockwave reissue and a leader blue grimlock but aside from that? nope, nothing. barren shelves and tfone studio series optimus figures from last year from shelf to shelf if you're lucky to not get hit with the earthspark garbage that keeps going on clearance and then coming back full price a few months later.

Alpha trion in particular is interesting because he's based off the younger trion but he's also been made shorter than the scourge retool trion from the 2 pack with orion pax which is odd because he's not meant to be shorter like that I don't think? Anyways from what I've seen he's a cool figure and the covenant of primus actually has the tape deck book thing that it has in beast wars (which is not too noticable because it's unpainted clear plastic) If I had the money to I'd likely get the remake beast wars megatron, the new trion, and just give megatron the book.
