Yesssss!!

[kranix]

That "ruthless" title has me a little concerned about the Gendrones.

That being said, it looks like we have Gobon, Mechabon, and Device Ninja figures on tap, based on the silhouettes. As for the first two, the heads seem a bit more jagged than the regular sculpts, don't they...

[Lazzy Lizard]

Just read that there won't be a mechabon in this drop.

But will we see this guy?

[captaincraybeard]

But will we see this guy?

Oh man, Pheyaos looks read like that!

[kranix]

But will we see this guy?

Given that metallic silver is in the queue for the drop, probably not a bad chance of it.

Also, if we do get the Renegade heads, folks may want to review the old Custom Corps archive for build inspirations!

Double-posting with an infodump (last update 7/27):

It has begun!




Tbh, it wasn't what I was expecting for the first to be unveiled based on all the hints and details already revealed.

Nope, but I sure am glad to see a return to earlier teaser images!

And this Pheyden has me stoked for that classic light blue!

[kranix]

And Standard Ranic makes a return as well.

Perhaps the Gobon and Phaseon releases will also hearken back to an old standard look...

All the callbacks and homages to the past in this drop are all long before my time collecting. It's fun catching up on the lore and seeing the original versions!

Likewise. It's cool seeing some of these old ideas getting a breath of fresh air.

For those who love lore, take another look at Ranic's post:

Rumor has it that old Buildman Ranic has been enjoying life on a planet so small and remote that it doesn't even have a name.

It is there that the free thinking Gendrone spends each day, caring for the pockets of rich and unique indigenous flora that surround the sleeping Buildship he arrived on, which also serves as his sanctuary.

It is also said that Ranic has achieved absolute mastery over Axis Technology, having discovered a way to synthesize the Villser Virus core elements inherit within, thereby neutralizing the negative effects that usually arise after long term use.

Due to this ability, Ranic can shift forms with lightning speed and is at one with the Axis Code itself, possessing power that may possibly extend beyond even that of the legendary Gendrone Revolutionary known as Argen.

And since there's a matching Swing Joint set, maybe we'll get to see, say, a Laputa-inspired build?

5 minutes past launch time and no change to store :/

WHAT IS HAPPENING I AM FREAKING OUT

[kranix]

Well, that was a fun evening. Glyaxia's ghost still lingers, it seems!

Crazy to finally see these enter production, and as of this writing, it seems that the Renegades have all gone off-world. Can't wait to see them in-hand!

[VENENOR]

Likewise. It'll be fun building with the 'bots again, it's been a while.

[groovemachine]

Yeah, it's really nice to see this Renegade wave materialize! And that silver is great...I got quite a bit of it, so anxious to build!!!
