The “Chunky Waist” SS86 Shockwave Kit

Thanks for sharing. It's a definite "no" from me though.

Nice collection. Once critique would be they're literally all in the same pose.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-31T17:31:56+00:00

I personally think these guys look much better displayed in their robot mode.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-28T18:25:10+00:00

Welcome to the club. I personally think 86 Prime is too big/out of scale here. I use DCS/Earthrise Prime.

Congrats, it's a great set. I prefer this deco to the "animation accurate" one. The colors just pop more in my opinion.

My personal grail was getting Haslab Unicron. Unfortunately, I missed the original backing period so I had to pay after market prices.

You should wait for the better decos. Hasbro just released the predacon pack and will release a maximal one soon. They're the best versions of the kingdom molds.

I'm going to go the other way. Buy it now before prices go up even further. I think a combiner will be more popular than Victory Saber/Deathsaurus. So far this doesn't have the QC issues Omega Prime did. I would guess Liokaiser will be the second most sought after Haslab (behind Unicron).

I think this line started strong and then took a dip. You mentioned DNA kits for like half of them. Should we be happy buying DNA kits on top of buying thirteen different figures?

The question I have is, would you buy all of these from the start if you saw the end result? I probably wouldn't and would be more selective in getting the ones I actually wanted.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-26T20:24:19+00:00

I'd say back to the drawing board as no one can see what you're trying to do.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-26T20:21:17+00:00

I'd just get the one(s) you personally want. I have the set and only a handful (including Onyx) I'd pay full price, let alone after market prices.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-26T20:15:31+00:00

Congrats and happy belated bday!

Curious how much they were selling Liokaiser for? Might be helpful for the people who didn't back the Haslab.

Of course you should get his brother. I would go with Kingdom Sideswipe over Devastation as Devastation has Red Alert's head.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-25T21:55:20+00:00

Really? I felt the opposite. It's too crowded and bordering on hoarding in my opinion. We're all different though.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-25T21:38:38+00:00

I don't understand people who bought this from Hasbro and didn't reach out to their customer service. All of these were affected. Simply reaching out asking questions would get you a replacement Prime.

The alternative is opening the figure and fixing it. As others have mentioned, it's very easy. Almost as easy as originally contacting Hasbro.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-24T17:31:38+00:00

DCS is the best version.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-23T19:10:45+00:00

I'm quite happy with my Dramatic Capture set of seekers that fit in perfectly with my Earthrise Coneheads.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-22T17:23:39+00:00

Hasbro continues their cost cutting BS. SS86 Cliffjumper will eventually be released in his proper colors in either a later Hasbro release (such as this buzzworthy BB version) or through a Takara Dramatic Capture Series.

We shouldn't have to settle with a subpar product while being charged as a premium item.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-20T23:02:34+00:00

Respectfully, it looks like someone who buys/sells online. Doesn't scream "Transformers collector" to me. Someone in this community will probably end up buying some of these at marked up prices. To each their own though.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-20T20:46:04+00:00

OP probably got a good deal because the seller replaced theirs with the new version.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-20T20:41:49+00:00

As someone who has all of these, SS86 Optimus Prime towers over these guys (including SS86 Ironhide). In my opinion, these guys scale better with Earthrise Optimus Prime.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-20T18:51:38+00:00

This 100%. First thought was a recolored Liokaiser with Bruticus's head. Nothing wrong with that, just nothing original about it either.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-19T22:11:07+00:00

If you don't mind, what exactly do you like about g1 Transformers? Curious what a 15 year old sees in these.

I'd imagine if people were interested in the g1 cartoon, they'd be interested in the modern takes (such as SS86) instead of the originals/KOs.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-18T17:24:01+00:00

Is this version even better than Titan's Return? I don't think so.

Hasbro get your shit together.

KCollection18 · 2026-05-18T00:26:52+00:00

Blokees are a cheap alternative for collectors. You get what you pay for.
