I would be down for a galactica collab.

Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion 10/27 Update: First look at Megatronus the Fallen
- Thread starter TriBlurr
- Start date
I was gonna say, Star Optimus Prime is an alright name but it feels like a downgrade from Galaxy Optimus.
At least the toy will be good.
I'd have just called him Star Convoy or if that didn't get through legal... Battlestars Optimus Prime
I was imagining that as soon as we heard about this.
I think the reason why that is likely out as an option has been sufficiently covered already.
I just want to see it.
Why did Pulsecon have to reveal nothing? What's next on the convention schedule?

There's some new reveals coming October 27. Wait and see.
Do you have any idea how slowly time moves for me? That's like a year away in my time.
Can't believe I didn't recognise a figure I own. Just looks different in white. At least I can confirm that Armada Optimus isn't the final commander class one but everyone figured that out.
The Cylons were created by man. They rebelled. They evolved. They look and feel human. And they have lawyers on retainer.
That's the caffeine.
That’s NYCC, so I’m expecting some reveals and MAYBE preorders for wave 1 Age of the Primes. I don’t expect Next year’s Titan to be revealed until next year at Toy Fair in March.
Alright, shut 'er down. You're not beating that one, CoffeeHorse.
Wait, wouldn’t caffeine make time feel like it’s moving faster? 
Tell me you've never had caffeine without telling me you've never had caffeine.
i Will admit I have drunk Coffee, just not very often. So yeah.
Must have been some weak stuff. My condolences.
Haha. I am clearly the latter then.
Star Convoy I am very much looking forward too. My gen selects Super/Ultra Megatron needs his nemesis since, while the retool of POTP Prime as Star Convoy was interesting, this will be better.
How they’ll work in Grandus and Sky Garry, is going to be intriguing.
Hmm. Hasbro has a lot of figures that function as power ups as well as figures waiting in the wings haven’t they. Armada Prime has Jetfire and Overload. Star Convoy has Grandus and Sky Garry. Admittedly, the latter aren’t quite as necessary as the former, but they are needed for Battlestars.
Ah well. Time will tell.

Someone on another board proposed that the reason Star Convoy is being released as a Titan is because it could actually be a three-pack of all three Battlestars together: Star Convoy, Grandus, and Sky Garry (similar to how SS86 Hook and Long Haul are being released together as a single Commander class two-pack), with the "Star Optimus Prime" name being used on its own (instead of all three names together) simply because the Optimus Prime name has enough marketing power to work on its own.
But then, someone else proposed the idea of not including Sky Garry and later selling him separately as a Leader class, leaving the Titan class set to consist of just Star Convoy and Grandus. This, I feel, could work to allow for more of the mass and the budget to go into just two figures instead of splitting it up further between three figures. While Sky Garry is needed to complete the trio's "Battlestar Attack" formation, Star Convoy and Grandus on their own have their own other unique formation shared between just the two of them, so a two-pack of just them two would still feel enough like a complete package when taking that into account. Sky Garry as a separate Leader class release would then just be like DLC for the Titan set.
