Seeing them all in a row like that just makes me more incredulous that they didn't put an Autobrand on Cliffjumper and VW Bee in the first place.

Does “big reduction” mean free ? Who sets the price on this?

So many wierd deco choices.

I'm gonna need stripes for Bumblejumper here. If that is supposed to be an homage to his Movie styled Camaros and retro muscle modes, then it NEEDS the signature black stripes.

Nemesis Primal is just random. I like it, but he is another black fur Primal and a totally random deco. Would have much preferred the brown and red Universe figure, speaking of worlds colliding. Plus then poor Bumblebee would not be so alone.

Blackarachnia in toy colors is not something I knew I wanted. Its different enough Ivcan totally use this as some9ne else though and unlike Nem Primal its a thing that comes from something. I'm still hoping we get a Crystal Widow redeco from Blackarachnia though. Love those red and blues

Fangry's looking good. Hope the beast mode jaw can articulate, mostly cause it looks a little dumb the way it's shown. Also looks like they just used the separate titanmaster for the head, rather than having a different sculpt, which is fine but a little disappointing. Nemesis Primal and Black Arachnia look great. Bumblebee is meh. Still waiting for Origin Bee, but this'll be fine until then

Bee is kinda neat, if it was sold by itself I think I'd get one and paint the stripes on it.

JTPrime also made a post not too long ago that the Buzzworthy Studio Series "Vs 2-pack" listing is actually a case assortment, meaning we might be getting more than one set. That rerelease of AOE High Octane Bee that leaked alongside Jolt could be part of one of those sets.

A Bumblebee vs Barricade 2-pack seems like a pretty good bet, but I'm wondering what else we could see. Rampage, Soundwave, maybe even Brawl or TLK Optimus/Nemesis? I'm guessing Stinger would be packed in with HO Bee, though Drift could also work.

Since this is the proper thread for this, a lot of people, myself included will be wanting to split this set up, I have no desire to own another copy of the cliffjumper mold, nor do I really want the fangry

Really liking the set. Don’t have any of the molds except Primal, and the new head with the faceplate makes it worth the double dip.

Also interesting that this set is what gets the Alternate heads for both Primal and Blackarachnia.

Seems the only reason for bee to be in this set is to make it a Buzzworthy set. There’s no other reason for him to be there.

There are 2 other reasons.

Firstly, this becomes the closest Bee figure we are getting to his look in the Netflix series, where he doesn't turn into a Beetle and has the same body as Cliffjumper (or vice versa, doesnt matter, point is they have the same body).



Also, thanks to that release of him, we now have the Bazooka Ironhide used

Those are reasons for the figure to exist. Not reasons for it to be part of this particular set.

He’s totally unrelated to 2 evil predacons and a decepticon headmaster.

He would accomplish the same thing in a set wiith other bees or even a Bumblejumper set with other recolors of the same mold. Here it seems he’s just tacked on to make it Buzzworthy.

Not that I mind, The mold is nice, and the accessories too and I don’t own a Bee from Siege, Earthrise or Netflix. But still, its like making a set with Earthrise Prime, Beastwars Megatron, Beast Machines Tankor and a random headmaster. Just odd.

Now that we are getting Fangry in this set, hasbro will pull some shady shite and give us Squeezeplay and Horri-bull in an exclusive 2-pack like they did with the seekers and coneheads.

Don't forget the two other monster autobots after Doublecross/Twinferno.

Speaking of which, I have those 3 so I don't need this Fangry (Nor anything from the set for that matter.)

He's supposed to be unrelated to the others,, that's why the set is literally called Worlds Collide.

I wonder if Fangry could be a "preview" of the 2022 line? Leakers claim Hothead and Nightbeat are part of the line next year with Siren in Selects so it could be Squeezeplay and Horri-Bull are in the next line and this is how we're getting Fangry. I'm fine with all of this if it pans out (especially if we never hear the names Crashbash, Loudmouth and Terri-Bull again). I feel like Squeezeplay could be a Repugnus retool (not saying it would be ideal), but what about Horri-Bull?

I figured out a reason some fans may want this Blackarachnia, if they're not into her original color scheme that hasn't been seen in 25 years.



The brown legs aren't an exact match for the mustard "gold" color of the regular Blackarachnia, but they look more show accurate than the black legs do. And the black legs look good on the new Blackarachnia. Here's a parts swap pic for all of you.

I am SO going to do that!

This is exactly why I'm excited for this set. This honestly makes the Kingdom Blackarachnia figure almost perfect to me! The rest of the set isn't too bad. I like having a Nemesis Primal at last. He looks pretty cool with the purple skin and teal robot mode highlights. I'm happy to be getting a proper Fangry at last too. I can only hope Squeezeplay and Horri-Bull are in the cards as well. The Bumblebee is just along for the ride. Maybe I can find a use for him later. I had no idea why his bazooka was green this time, until William James' post above. That's a deep cut, Hasbro!

I would've rather had Fangry come with his guns and Bumblebee come with a black version of his gun from the Centurion Drone set.

Oh snap, I just realized. Blackarachnia's blue beast mode with orange legs isn't based on her original toy (which was black instead of blue) like her robot mode is, it's the Happy Meal Transmetal toy!

Seibertron wrote:I would've rather had Fangry come with his guns and Bumblebee come with a black version of his gun from the Centurion Drone set.

That would have been nice, but the bazooka parts must be gang-molded in with the Earthrise Cliffjumper mold. At least the price of the set seems to be below the cost of three Deluxes and one Voyager, so I can see why Fangry didn't get his guns if it was a cost-cutting measure, especially to reuse an "older" Deluxe mold that might not fit the current Deluxe Class budget.

Its based off the original toy, not the Happy Meal. She looks pretty spot on to the original toy when side by side. Fairly certain she's black with a purple wash from the purple paint used elsewhere on figure. That box puc is deceiving about her colors.

Looking closer at your swapped-legs pic, you're right. The actual figure is black where the box pic is blue, after all.

So, nevermind my previous post.

You know, looking at Blackarachnia's toy box art accurate head, it kinda makes her look like a ninja. "Beast Wars Nightbird", anyone?

Love it

I'm digging the Toy Accurate Blackarachnia. I can't wait to get it.
The entire set aside from Bumbleebee is pretty good.

Exactly!. It could have been anybody, Huffer, a couple of Micromasters, a Prime Master in Pretender shell, anybody in that size would have made the set work and still be Worlds Collide and be unrelated to the others. But it's Bumblebee. The only reason its Bumblebee is to make it a Buzzworthy set.

Maybe they have certain amount of Buzzworthy sets they need to produce.

That was the original intention for BW Tarantulas, before the show aired.

I'm gonna be repurposing her and add another possible Tripredacus Agent to the list, after Telemocha Volfang and Prime Legion Flamewar. Maybe sister to Flamewar?

Sabrblade wrote:You know, looking at Blackarachnia's toy box art accurate head, it kinda makes her look like a ninja. "Beast Wars Nightbird", anyone?

I know it’s painfully on the nose, but I’d rather a silver, black, and purple redeco of Airrazor with a new head sculpt as a Beast Wars update of Nightbird.

That or if this blackarachnia is considered BW Nightbird, she really really hates airrazor for being a bird and they fight all the time lol

Yes please, but remold the beast head too more Raven like.

Does anyone have the target inventory system id for the worlds collide pack? Want to be able to ask employees to check for incoming shipments.

DPCI 087-16-8265. My store said they'll get them on the 21st.

I never understood why Fangry had organic sculpted parts. Was he supposed to actually be part organic. Was it fake fur he was wearing?

Fangry is fricken awesome.

But I really can't believe how those colors on Nemesis Primal can make me go from 0% interest to 100% interest for that mold. Optimus Primal was an easy pass but I MUST HAVE Nemesis Primal.

So what is the significance of Fangry in this set?

Although I kept collecting up to the bitter end of G1 (which I thought was the bitter end of all Transformers at the time), thanks to a Big Wheel store in the next town west of mine that had trouble clearing old stock, Fangry ended up being the last G1 toy I got at the original price, for Easter of '92, cementing him in a special distinction at the end of my childhood. Had no idea G2 would debut that same year, meaning I'd find Slag and Sideswipe under the tree that Christmas. Add in Blackarachnia being the first BW toy I bought after I started college, and this set means a lot; I may actually buy 2 of it for a spider-leg swap with Kingdom BA.

Alas, you can't have everything: those proper wings mean his beast mode is way more Marvel-accurate (not sure how much closer he is to Wilder's animation model) and looks less like Doctor Strange's dog Dog-tor Strange, but he lacks that awesome shield that could double as body armor. Maybe a third party or Shapeways will take a crack at it. Of course, I still have my original.

Pretty much selling the worlds collide theme, while also hinting the return of the other headmaster jrs, which are rumoured to appear in next years line.

I see. Initially I thought this was supposed to be a Kingdom thing. Which is why I thought the sudden appearance of a Headmaster was a bit random.

You weren't the only one, we reported the set as Kingdom before we got word that it was Buzzworthy.

Does Fangry's Spd/Str/Int panel open or anything? Or is it just a neat little bit of detail like a lot of the other Titans Return figures? Obviously his stats wouldn't change with the new head, but it seems odd to detail it that much, and not have any stats displayable

AllNewSuperRobot wrote:So what is the significance of Fangry in this set?

I think I've finally cracked this. A G1 figure, two Beast Wars figures, and a random Bumblebee. Why these? The set name kept bothering me, too. Where had I heard "Worlds Collide" before?

Then it hit me:

Inspiration for Fangry and Nemesis Primal:


Black Arachnia, complete with leopard print top!


And of course, the annoying yellow guy who ties it all together.

Brilliant detective work!

I’m stoked for Fangry. That Titans Return Doublecross/Twinferno mold is truly the champion of retoolings. They could have just given Grotusque a wolf head and a redeco and called it a day, but all sorts of details have been remolded again, making Fangry feel distinct from the first three uses of this buck or engineering schema. That’s quite a feat considering how distinct each of the modern Monsterbots already felt.

Absolutely this! I even saw a similar post on Twitter yesterday that started because someone didn't realize the Monsterbots were all mold mates. They found the matching feet odd.
I'm really looking forward to Fangry because of how fun the Monsterbots are.

Yah they're lots of fun. I transformed the Monsterbots for the first time with Fangry's gallery. I love that they're so similar yet different. I'd love to see more things like this done with Transformers. I've always been intrigued with regular action figures and how they re-use parts, especially with the Masters of the Universe Classics line where you could buy duplicates of figures, swap parts and make other versions of characters (which was really well thought out ... i.e. Mattel made enough parts so you could make a 200X He-Man and Battle Cat).

MOTU Classics was pretty great with the customizable parts swapping and accessory packs. There are several characters who look a lot better with their 200X redesigns, so having different heads, armor, or weapons to choose from makes my collection that much more personal and satisfying.

With Hasbro having made two accessory sets now, I wonder how long until Transformers get alternate heads or hands like Hasbro does with Marvel Legends and GI Joe Classified?

They are already doing this with Transformers RED, which is the Transformers equivalent to all those other lines. I know some people want actual Transforming Toys with alternate parts, but I don't see that any time soon.

They did try the heads with Titans Return; The Wave 1 Titan Masters (Nightbeat, Loudmouth, Crashbash and Terri-Bull) had original faces at first, before Hasbro nixed that idea.

I always felt like they really missed the opportunity to double dip with toy heads and cartoon heads. Or unique comic heads like Marvel Octane. I really want that head on an Octane toy at some point.

TR Hot Rod's alternate head was in fact the IDW comics head design. Shame it was never used.

By the way, I am surprised Fangry reuses the TR head figure as Brisko.
