Got kind of a Red Dragon Thunderzord vibe. Which... makes sense since the Thunderzords were all based on beasts from Chinese myth.

I have to admit, my Victory Saber MMs have kinda proven...faulty? Legs pop off joints a lot on the police car and the firetruck's arms don't quite hold still in vehicle mode. Not sure if it's repeated re-use or the heavier paint proving less friction-y. No, no. Those two molds were always pieces of shit.

But the ones that came with Deathsaurus are MUCH better. If we could get MMs that were better made like these two, then maybe we would still have MMs in the Generations line.

I think part of what made the Deathsaurus ones a little better is that they didn't have to incorporate the third weapon mode. But also, their joints are just somehow better. Lessons learned?

news.tfw2005.com/2024/01/06/new-selects-autobot-multipack-listing-found-deluxe-hound-jazz-wheeljack-sunstreaker-trailbreaker-501628That mysterious Buzzworthy Hound may see a release after all but in a multi pack. At the moment, I don't think I would want this multipack enough for Hound alone. After seeing reviews of Detritus, I'm not impressed with the mold enough to bend over backwards trying to get a Hound repaint. Besides, I still really like Siege Hound and I love the darker green better than what we saw on that one pic of Buzzworthy Hound. But if they do more to the other four figures besides straight up repacks (like maybe replace SS86 Jazz's clear plastic with regular plastic) then that might be worth reconsidering.

These are favoring the cartoon, basically SS86 from Earthrise molds. It just annoys the shit out of me that to complete my Earthrise '84 crew, I'll need to buy a 4-pack, and Hound might not fit the vibe of the rest of them favoring the original toys.

www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/268319?o=1The 5 pack with Wheeljack, Jazz, Trailbreaker, Sunstreaker, and the Earth mode Hound. $110 for 5 deluxes as not a bad deal TBH. I like that SS86 doesnt have the clear plastic windows anymore and I'm loving the extra weapons Sunstreaker and Wheeljack. The one thing that bugs me is how plain WJ looks in vehicle mode.

However, imagine how good it'll look with the Toyhax stickers on them?
