I think he is a Black Panther homage.

Correct and Fyreball Kyropteran was an homage to Gargo from Blackstar.

It's a cool warhammer, but no... no... I can't get behind that metallic light brown color. I might make the warhammer for one of the previous Villser figures. I could hope the Skullboto and Skeleden aren't in metallic light brown yet there's a good chance they could be. Wish metallic bronze could have gotten a comeback like the gold and blood red in this drop. The bronze really popped.

(Just not a big fan of brown. Olldugon Villser is the only one I didn't pick up in the store or the aftermarket.)

EDIT:
This Villser Warlord is an ally to the Glyknights, serving as their resident Titan when in conflict with Skeleden Ureydak and his beast army...

And he also likes Hub Hammers.

So maybe the Skullboto and Skeleden will still be another color. :)

Well...

So we'll be seeing Skeleden Ureydak and his minions in another color this round, as the Warlord and the Soldier (Crayboth) have both just been posted for the two figures in the "Ancient" Bronze.

I wonder if some sort of metallic glow is even possible. I could see that being a big hit with a skullboto.

Looks like we were wrong about the Battle Tribes crossover, at least in regards to Matt's "barbarian" comment. Come to think of it, we were wrong about the "warlord" comment, too.

In this case, totally fine with being wrong. These new apps and tampos are dope.

Oh man, I'm just looking forward to seeing the Nobotos for this round..

"Two styles of the Noboto mold. Marcus and I slithered around some slightly creepy all new design work on one of them."

I feel like we may be getting something similar to the Exile Sirian eye print for the second one.. Some kind of serpent Noboto, maybe?

Either way, I'm super excited for this, and this time i hopefully won't get cartjacked :psweat:

Sold! I wonder how much the Blue matches the one used for the Noboto with Axis from a few months ago. So should the background ones be Snakeboto?

I need to keep it as cheap as possible, but I definitely need those nobotos.

Well, the one in the foreground is Deathboto, so maybe Slitherboto? Gonnboto, after the Trilogonn?

Is anybody else just seeing the dark brown swing joints, grey wheels, and old buildstation items in the store?

Has anything else been posted/added yet?

For a second there the VIllsers didn't pop up. I wonder what the variation portal is.

Edit: Never mind it kinda looks like it's just opposite colors Deathboto and Trogillian.

Dang, variation portal already sold out. I got the nobotos I was hoping to get, the variation portal figures, plus some green and white axis joints.

I'm hoping for the black suit Astronaut from Alpha Star I. Maybe that would be too similar to Hades Force.

I ordered 3 in the hopes it was.

Paypal hung up for a minute, but I got the variation portal option in time according to final checkout. :spsweat:

Well, were there any variations for either figure that might account for the Sarvostar's item description? That might help narrow it down.

Dammit, I need to find a pilot for my old FireStar that doesn't have a fogged up helmet.

I didn't even notice there was a variant on Sarvostar until after I finished checking out. Really don't want to eat another shipping cost on the chance of getting the same one, so I must count on eBay to continue my Sarvos army. Tried to take it easy on this drop in general but still went over $100, too much green and pretty metallics.
