We have two Transformers themed SDCC 2024 reveals for you today. Firstly, we have a 2 pack with Optimus and Megatron called Fractured Friendship. This has Gladiator Megatron using the Siege mold (the miner variant we got last year) and Orion Pax using a retool of the the SS Gamer Edition Optimus Prime mold. This 2 pack is $74.99 USD. We also have a reveal of the exclusive Marvel Legends Death's Head. He is priced at $39.99 and is the standard Marvel Legends size. While these are exclusives, they should also be available on Hasbro Pulse to premium members (and non members if not sold out).

There are more exclusives, like Cobra Commander, which IGN revealed today: https://www.ign.com/articles/hasbro-sdc ... ers-gi-joe

Should this upset those who got the Pax/Shockwave 2-pack last year? This is basically a voyager figure representing the same character.

And yet another use of that Megatron mold! I almost bought the Megatron/Ratbat 2-pack, but I think I'll get this instead if I can.

The 2 pack looked kind of good. But then whoops, Prime has the massive backpack with 2 wheels. No thank you. Not worth the price. Last sdcc exclusive I bought was Universe Nemesis Prime (2008) Wow, I'm old lol

That Miner Megatron repaint is very bleh. The original with Reprolabels looks much, much better.
However, that heavy retool of Gamer Optimus is brilliant. A shame that the thighs are still hollow. Plus the back of the truck is sure to be a big void.

Overall, that's an easy skip.

The GE Optimus Prime the retool is good enough - not perfect (which the thighs got retooled as well), but good enough.

Megatron is just lazy. I like my Siege Megatron well enough (unless the upcoming SS86 Megatron blows me away, it'll probably stay as THE Megatron on my CHUG shelf), and I don't mind getting a Miner Megatron. But the mold is badly designed from the get-go with the loose ankle tilts and hip joints. And the successive reuses just made those figures even more of a floppy mess. So, naaaaaaaaaaaaah...

Might want the set if it's discounted, but I don't need it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - Siege Megatron mold again? Is there no escape from it? It was fine the first couple of times, but yeesh - what is it on now, eight? Ten?

Siege/ER Megatron think himself as a seeker. :lol:

Man Prime has had so many great figures in the last two years and Poor Megatrong gets… a bubblegum hammer.

That may be my favorite Pre Earth Prime mode so far though and it reinforces my opinion that I would love to see Prime go to a Box Truck style rather than a trailer so he can get the right look and still be a Voyager price point.

Always nice to see Death's Head get more ML love, and I guess they had to go with the look he had for most of his interactions with the greater Marvel Universe, but I'd LOVE to have his original green design in this scale for better TF storyline reenactments. Could be a nice, cheap remold someday.

Still getting this one, of course.

Going to try get both. Really like the way Prime turned out, Megatron is fine, and it'll be nice to have a Death's Head that can stand up to Transformers.

I think it's ten if not closer to twelve...
The SS86 version can't get here soon enough.

I like this OP figure, but I'm definitely passing until/unless it gets a solo release, and even then he'll be a "maybe".

MyFigureCollection.net collection · by **Emerje** » Fri Jun 28, 2024 7:43 pm

I do have to wonder if this is a discarded Amazon exclusive since it's clearly a sequel to last year's sets.

Any idea who's on the wanted posted?

Megs by the Dozen!

I know a lot of people are curious about SS86. I'm pretty sure it wont be any of these, especially being a Leader class. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Heavy HEAVY retool of the SS concept design BB Movie version (especially with hidden Gun Mode)

We have in hand images of the upcoming SDCC exclusive 2 pack featuring IDW inspired Orion Pax and Gladiator Megatron. The most telling of these images are the comparisons. While Orion Pax is a retool of the SS GE WFC Optimus Prime mold, it is significantly bigger. Not only that, but he doesnt have that gapping hole in his backside. While we can see the similarities to the original mold, these pictures show just how extensive the retooling is.
Unlike other sets, this isn't one where you can wait for a discount, as it will sell out quickly due to its limited nature. Will you be getting it?

I have all of these. :lol:

I can't believe we have that many uses of the same mold(s) and not a single figure based on the original concept art/Marvel comics design. Maybe in studio series.

Oh man... I wasn't very interested at first because I was worried it would be too short... but now I'm super interested...

If anyone here is going, would you be willing to hook me up with these exclusives? I'd be willing to work out a deal if you're able to DM me.

I can't believe that Prime with all that extra tooling will only be available in some exclusive set. If I didn't know better I'd say it looks like a Generation Oneified version of RID 2015 Optimus Prime.

I wish they could have released these two as singles. I'm interested in Optimus but not that Megatron mold. However, I really do not like those WFC design thighs on Optimus. The set is an easy pass.

by **Blastback** » Thu Jul 04, 2024 11:03 pm

Dang, those are great. That's a great retool.

I'm the opposite. I'll gladly take that Megatron, but don't care for the Prime. But if I get him, Megatron will definitely get a fusion cannon in place of the drill.

That Optimus is a great retool, I will get that!

I will also want that Death's Head. I have the 3.75" one, will need this guy too

The 2 pack with Optimus and Megatron called Fractured Friendship is now available on Pulse. This has Gladiator Megatron using the Siege mold (the miner variant we got last year) and Orion Pax using a retool of the the SS Gamer Edition Optimus Prime mold. This 2 pack is $74.99 USD and the link is below. It should be available on the other Pulse sites as well.

WAY too expensive for what we basically already got.
