Super 7 Transformers Ultimates Wave 2 & 3 Line Up And Pre-Order Schedule

Iunno, given that they definitely seem to have modified the sculpt of Bludgeon's lower biceps/upper forearms/elbows to increase elbow range compared to the render, I think there may well have been more care taken to improve articulation to at least a minor degree in this wave, based on fan feedback from Wave 1. Maybe that's why they spent so long in Tooling Review.

EDIT: Just went back to the renders to compare the elbows more closely, and I just noticed they did also modify the sculpt of the upper torso where the shoulder pauldrons would intersect with the torso, seemingly increasing those pieces' range too:

Not only is there more cutout for the elbows to seemingly get at least a 90 degree bend, but now it looks like there's cutout on the shoulderblades to allow the shoulder pauldrons to go up more.

So Bludgeon at the very least has definitely had multiple changes made with articulation fully in mind.

Lame megatron is only 6\". Every super 7 is 7\" except him. If he was 7\" hed have been a perfect standin for those of us who want a gun toon accueate megatron that isent a tank.sure he cant transformer but for display hed be perfect

Why do you think he's only 6"? Prime is a full 8"–they won't make Megatron any shorter.

I am glad to see this, I had not noticed the changes myself and as gorgeous as my ghost Starscream looks and feels, I was definitely surprised to find he was not very articulated. Could not help but feel disappointed, and I got him for half-price so the idea of paying likely double for the others was turning me off the line when I thought I was in for all of wave one and half of two. But maybe Bludgeon at least I can still go for, as he is probably the one Pretender more than any other that I want the original shell design 100% (okay no him and Longtooth definitely).

I want to see Pretenders done in this line since Hasbro is just doing mini figures of them…

I definitely think the aesthetic of the pretenders could really shine in this line for sure. Hope to see more too generally, even if I just said I only had one or two must haves. Though I do like the Hasbro ones so maybe if we see designs or at least interpretations of them that are more significant. Like we aint seeing any people-former shells still looking like people, and on the other hand even before taking the significant price difference into account I do not think Skullgrin would be that much better from Super7.

Actually I just remembered the classic pretenders and must add Grimlock and Starscream to my wants.

Because RED is sold at Wal-Mart. They are going to lean heavy on top tier characters. Super7, with their lower production runs, can do the more obscure characters. Also, looking at Grimlock, they will take scale into consideration as Grimlock looks bigger than the others. With them doing smaller scale figures in other lines, fingers crossed for decently scaled mini-bots. Also, I would definitely buy a Mumm-Ra scaled Mr. Horse for Ren & Stimpy.

I have Mumm-Ra as is bigger than the standard Thundercats and if you saw the pictures of Monstarr compared with the Silverhawks figures, he is huge ✌️

BB Shockwave

LOOOL what is wrong with that second head of Bludgeon? He looks stoned – or channeling Skeletor. Also, the helmet seems off, it shows way too much of the forehead.

Showing too much forehead is what the kids these days call a 'power move'.

Are we talking the Actionmaster versions of top tier characters or did Actionmasters have a separate list of top tier characters. Actionmasters is also rather niche, so I doubt original Actionmaster characters will show up in RED. I have my doubts of RED getting passed the Seekers for 'Cons or Grimlock for the Autobots in terms of G1. Maybe we can get some carbots. I skipped RED Bumblebee as I didn't want him to be pretty much as large as everyone else. So, I'm hoping we can get a nice 4-5" 'Bee from Super7.

Super 7 is doing both, so both would be applicable. Nothing wrong with getting Actionmaster Thundercracker in RED.

Actionmasters had plenty of top-tier characters.

Yeah, I feel the same way.

I wish the RED series would tackle Actionmasters and Pretenders. They still aren’t great but I feel like you get more bang for your buck with RED than Ultimates.

RED is prime real estate for Actionmasters. And since it's Hasbro themselves, they aren't prohibited by their own "licensees can't make transforming product" rule for the partners. I'd be down for a $30 level option that come with the Targetmasters.
