Writer David Wise died of lung cancer.

 

He was a prolific animation writer. He wrote the most episodes of the G1 Transformers cartoon (15 of 98), was the main story editor and writer of 1987 TMNT show doing 100 episodes, and worked on Batman TAS for 3 episodes , showcasing the debut of Riddler, Clock King, and Hugo Strange.

 

RIP Mr. Wise

Abonimus was the only other combiner out of the Prime Wars trilogy that i have thought about getting since it's one of the more colorful Decepticon sets. I am honestly trying to figure out where to cut off the CHUG line. I cancelled the Primal preorder. It's a modern update of the original figure which the MP does an almost 1:1 version of the show character. This figure honestly may be it.

@iStu X Here's a more comprehensive view of Rattrap 

 

 

 

I remember you asked that if Primal had a peg for Rattrap. We can now confirm that he doesn't.

Honestly, the more I see of Primal, the less regret I have over cancelling the preorder. It's not bad by any means, but it's a simplified version of the MP.

It's strange that that's where he is an exclusive. Honestly, Hasbro Pulse could be a much better source for these types of things. 

They should do what Bandai does for Gundam.

 

Normal model kits sold everywhere, with some special variants being sold exclusively at their official Gundam Base stores. 

 

Really limited stuff like limited run kits/special color schemes/parts kits/other low quantity items are sold directly from them through their P-Bandai (Premium Bandai) direct store.

Exactly. That's how it should be done. Even if it's a retailer exclusive, Hasbro should always make some of that stock available on that end. The most recent accessory kit they released was mediocre in execution, idea behind it was good.
