Hasbro just officially launched the next Transformers Haslab with the reveal of Victory Deathsaurus! Coming in at $179.99 he needs 11,000 backers to go into production. At 14k – a weapon pack unlocks. At 17k – a flight stand and Emperor’s Throne unlocks. Check out all the details below and after the break, then head on over to Hasbro Pulse to back the project!
One of the most feared beings in the known universe, Deathsaurus has spread his reign of terror and destruction for eons. The only force stopping him from achieving ultimate power has been that annoyance of an Autobot, Star Saber. But his brilliant mind has thought up a new plan, and this time, nothing can stop the Emperor of Destruction. Deathsaurus is launching his next attack – turn HasLab into the ultimate weapon and destroy Star Saber, once and for all!
Hasbro Pulse is bringing Transformers fans a battle of epic proportions! Last year, HasLab brought Japanese canon into the world of Transformers for the first time with Victory Saber*. Now, we invite you to welcome the archnemesis of the Supreme Commander of the Autobots into your collection. The powerful and ruthless Decepticon, Deathsaurus, is the next HasLab project!

Deathsaurus: Emperor of Destruction
Transformers fans, now is your chance to bring a legendary rivalry to life. Picture it: the heroic Victory Saber* and the evil Deathsaurus standing off in a larger-than-life battle as part of your personal collection. This is an opportunity you won’t want to miss! This HasLab project re-creates Deathsaurus, inspired by Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory, as a premium collectible figure for his debut in the Transformers line for the first time in over 30 years.
Straight Out of the Dark Nebula
Deathsaurus has a pretty iconic alt mode, and the team made sure the figure design reflects just how awesome it really is. This figure converts between robot and his powerful griffon-dragon alt mode, with plenty of features befitting the Decepticon warlord, including wing, claw, and jaw articulation. Deathsaurus stands at an impressive 11-inch height in robot mode, to scale with the prior HasLab Victory Saber figure. This figure is animation-accurate and features 30 points of articulation for creating epic battle stances and iconic poses from the anime.
“Chest Attack!”
Deathsaurus has deployed the Chest Animals! Deathsaurus wouldn’t be complete without his iconic Micromaster chestplate beasts, Eaglechest and Tigerchest. Eaglechest coverts between eagle and cassette modes, and Tigerchest converts between tiger and chest piece modes. The cassette-mode Eaglechest figure can fit inside the chest of Deathsaurus. The Tigerchest figure attaches to the Deathsaurus figure as a horned chest piece. Both Micromasters also convert to weapon modes that Deathsaurus can wield in battle! The Eaglechest figure has a 6-inch wingspand and converts to a double-barreled blaster accessory, and the 4-inch-long Tigerchest figure converts to a bow accessory.
Weapons of Destruction
Deathsaurus can’t crush his archnemesis without his iconic weapons! Pose Deathsaurus challenging Victory Saber* on the battlefield with the included sword accessory that the figure can hold. Attach the Tigerchest figure in bow mode and pose Deathsaurus taking aim at his archnemesis with the included arrow accessory. This figure also comes with the classic Death Tailer shield accessory that attaches in alt mode as the tail of Deathsaurus.
TIER 1 – 14,000 BACKERS: “FEEL THE POWER OF THE LIVING-METAL-DESTROYING CANNON!”
The Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon is perhaps one of the most destructive weapons in the Transformers universe. A fully-charged blast from its barrel can erode any metal material, including the living cells of Cybertronian lifeforms. This Deathsaurus figure comes with this signature weapon accessory and his classic spiked flail accessory! Fans can also plug the 6 included blast effects onto the Deathsaurus figure and his weapon accessories. The Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon, spiked flail, and blast effect accessories will be unlocked when the campaign reaches 14,000 backers.
TIER 2 – 17,000 BACKERS: A THRONE BEFITTING THE DECEPTICON EMPEROR
The Transformers team has sculpted an imposing throne for Deathsaurus that reflects his awesome power. This 11-inch accessory features premium deco and details inspired by the throne as seen in the anime. Additionally, we know you want to show off Deathsaurus in the most epic poses imagineable. We’re including 2 stand pieces to allow Transformers fans to showcase Deathsaurus in his most powerful stances. The throne accessory, stand base, and stand arm attachment will be unlocked when the campaign reaches 17,000 backers.
WishfulThinking
I wonder if he means he's underperforming in the aftermarket. That would make some sense. But if that were the case, the idea would be to HOLD. Once the price deflates and everyone gets one who wants one, the fans who missed out on the deflationary period will be willing to pay a little more down the line as aftermarket stock dries up.

Aren't CF Haslabs Projects guaranteed releases because the fans paid in advance? Tiers unlocked because, well the cash is there. So how can Dezaras under perform? Either there are hard facts/ figures that support it underperforming or the poster who stated thus is or lacking in the space in between.
galvatran
There's no need for that.
It was an honest mistake. He even apologized (kudos for doing so). And added a disclaimer, which doesn't appear now. Thread was merged into this one.

The case of people blabbing without thinking.

I posted this in the main Deathy thread the other day (not a complaint, others may still need him) He's great, I got one and my buddy who missed out was able to get one. His price is a smidge above ebay averages but I love bbts customer service and simple $4 shipping. I got my Unicron through them myself
ScorponokIsHere
yeah they made as many as people pledged for, plus some spares for safety
there's zero way "underperform" makes any sense
Pcsolyar
I feel I'm missing a level of sarcasm here, but
It's a Haslab, it can't underperform. They make how many they sell
galvatran
Getting in before the lockdown…
HasLab Deathsaurus under performed badly. Plenty of stock available. Even Hasbro Pulse is giving one away, FREE. Price is gonna tank. Sell, sell, sell.
Retrovaniac
Ah, apologies, I'll add a disclaimer.
Hoffman
It's just the HasLab, but in stock.
ScorponokIsHere
sometimes a store will come across additional stock, through returns or otherwise
Retrovaniac
My bad, is there something I missed?
ScorponokIsHere
we are not doing this again, it's not a reissue

Was looking around on BBTS at the new Transformers Pre-Orders, when I came across this.

I have a misb Deathsaurus for sale in my thread for $250.

I just bought this guy and was curious if there are any 3rd party hands with finger articulation that I could use to replace the stock ones?
prfctcellrulz
Entered that 40th anniversary contest on Pulse. I got lucky recently with winning that special Yugioh playmat I showed off in the respective thread, maybe I’ll luck the f**k out AGAIN and knock this (Non-Titan) grail off my wishlist

Alert! I see a deathsaurus complete slightly damaged box for 186.00 (14.00 shipping) on mercari
Mercari: Your Marketplace
Hope this is allowed it won't be there long. Good luck!

Transformers Generations Deathsaurus (bigbadtoystore.com) $275 usd In stock, limit 2, I honestly think price isn't bad for those that want it. Shipping and customer service are wonderful. I don't remember seeing them ever get Star Saber. I wasn't able to get Unicron during his initial window but did get him later thanks to BBTS.

Some quick shots of Deathsaurus being ridden.
Enjoy.
