Here's what we know so far:

Matt from the blog:

The RF [Roboforce] and Zeroid molds will both be on deck in Volkriun military green
...
Two versions of Volkriun Glyarmor will be available: 

-Extra paint style Traveler-based "Commander" type

-Basic paint style Glyan-based "Heavy Armored" type (like the Esedeth editions-but this one comes packed with a matching Darkness Soldier head)

The new wave follows closely along the lines of the 2016 Esedeth assortments as far as mold selections go.


Also :tb-arg18: in TFV as well, obviously!

Looks like this round of volkriun colors are inspired by titanfall2

I did not think that until you said it, and it adds a whole new level of desire to this drop. (Anyone still playing TF2?)

It looks like we are also getting a KOTS Vector Jump set in the new Volkriun colors. The Clutter show had this on display/for sale, and it was listed as a production version by Onell Design.

Yes, I'm hoping this green is the same as the preview argen head we got a long while back.

I really like that touch of orangs on the gendrone head.

looks like it's gonna be fun and wallet draining at the same time. :arg10:

=)

Wow, I didn't even notice that little detail!

Okay so Matt's confirmed Mystery Figure this drop as well, what are we on number um...Eleven! Any guesses?

Super Sonic Pilot?

Playing off of the name i'd call him Super Sonic Sarvos

This one would be rad as well
Image
Alpha Interceptor Astronaut


I'm really loving these mystery figures for the extra sets and older head sculpts, can't wait to see what we get this round!

I had that orange guy with me always, we had so many adventures together till he fell apart from having had too many falls.

Alpha Interceptor Astronaut and Alpha Recon Astronaut are my next childhood army builders if they happen. Alpha Recon was the bomb. I also wouldn't mind a true Alpha Pilot to join my makeshift one since we got the Alpha Star Astronaut (same AP mold.)

Should there be a yellow Astro Knight?

I feel like there'll eventually be a 'variation' run of mystery figs, for figs like yellow Astro Knight and the grayish-blue Alpha Pilot.

Axis Joint and Phase Arm sets as well. Not bad for a "secondary" color!

This just got even more interesting!

Can't wait to see what this Caliber Crusher looks like, I fear it will push me over the edge on wanting to buy two Roboforce figures!

Also I got a hunch based on a freebie I got this week from a recent Onell oder. Black Axis Joints for tonight?

Oh man, that would make me super happy! I have a few builds that need those. And the "Task Force Volkriun: The Xenodeth Outbreak" artwork seems to support your hunch...

I just received an Onell order yesterday with bonus Volkriun green axis joints. Definitely dig that color!

Matt tossed in TFV Axis and Phase in my order as well, very welcome bonus! Exicted that we get Xenodeth Villser, and I'm intrigued by the Gelnos colorway picked up a few with some Axis to build up!

Managed to scrape up some Glyos money after all. Piloden is gonna be sick. I got Piloden, Kynorrun, Vulldren, and Phase sets for both. I feel like the Hyper Henshin-like stowaway Cray from a few drops ago could have been testing for the Gelnos PVC color.

I don't know if this is the single most expensive order I've placed with Onell before, but it's got to be top 3.
I've been waiting for the RoboForce and glyarmor glyan figures in an army green for a long time, and didn't want the opportunity to stock up pass me by. Because the RF figures add up so quickly I couldn't get an army's worth of figures, but I do have a small and heavily armed brigade.

I had to go light on this drop cuz I just picked up a boat load of stuff from tat2artst (sweet older stuff from before I got into the game last fall).

However I did pick up the following:

Glyarmor Commander Vulldren
Glyan TFV Heavy Soldier
Hub Set TFV Green
Axis Joint Set TFV Green (Just grabbed this on a whim cuz it didn't impact shipping and I saw it was already low stock)

I figured this stuff will give me the most bang for my buck tinkering with these guys.

:shock: was this image always up there?

Shit, I already went back for 2nds for the Gendrone offerings, I really cannot afford 3rds and 4th, but that is stupendous bulk of PVC! Guess I’ll just have to mix in another neutral color, white, black, or maybe juice it up with orange RF kit, only have the one and that’s looking like a 4 RF kits 4 zerons

That is an incredible build, looks great in that TFV green. Personally I'd love a widespread wave in metallic black to build something that big.

The Caliber Crusher was added over night along with the description saying it needs 4 RF and 4 Zeroids. The VRD Pheyden also went up 1 part count and added the scarf to his description.

What do you guys think about the mystery figure? Alpha pilot Pheyden style?

Good catch, damn, just cant afford another $74 plus shipping! In an ideal world, I'd want 6 of those Gendrone Roboforce kits, so I could build me some Chicken-walkers.

I could see this with a black paint on the face similar to the Captain Kynorrun from this drop. Gotta be. Either that or Super Sonic Pilot, however when you type in alpha pilot you find a lot of 3 packs with Clawtron and Commander figure, that leads me to lean towards the Alpha Pilot VS Super Sonic. Just because of it's prevalence. Add to that, I think Super Sonic Pilot would look better with a Sarvos base body and head.

I had planned 3 and 3 but was forced to cut off an extra of each as the budget tightened last minute. Left the Heavy Soldier count at 6 and then a VRD Phey to join the AP and 3 mystery figures which are hopefully Alpha Pilots.

With the Caliber Crusher being a Treadbuster with a new build attached to the back I really wonder if it doesn't separate for an additional attack mode like an old GI Joe vehicle.

Welp... spent way too much on this drop, but I have no regrets.

I love pretty much everything about this wave - the colors, the assortment, the background lore. It's all top-notch Glyos stuff.
I've been waiting since I got back into Glyos for another military style wave like we got with the EMP, fortunately I did not have to wait that long!

Excited to see what people make with this wave - I've got some interesting plans in the works myself...
Quickly! To your Buildstations - The TFV is always looking for new weaponry to combat the Villser menace!
