ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-SPORES

I'm just happy we're getting that mold in a different deco and as a new character. I mean, it's a good mold, and I don't mind having multiple very similar versions, but there's a limit.

The most notable thing about that repack was the new art, which seems to be based on the Megatron that was cut from Bumblebee.

Interragator comes to mind, as does the downside of integral-but-detachable-- if he drops his gear, his altmode reaaaaally suffers. (IIRC one episode of BW had TM Megatron let go of his weapon and then they fell together like it was glued to his leg or something. It's a minor thing, but jeeeez.)

Energon's up there, too, IMO-- mix-and-match Autobot combiners, Decepticons with ridiculous flipout weapons, and the Energon weapon/5mm business. But, yeah, Armada was fantastic. Posability suffered some, but there were still figures like Red Alert.

Glorious. Absolutely glorious.

I easily could be mistaken (and the image on the Wiki is ambiguous), but Daytrader struck me more as a semi with a flatbed carrying random junk and scrap or maybe a Dumpster-carrier than a trash-truck with a lifting arm. Though unless it's Studio Series, it doesn't really matter.

Has anyone mocked up a G2 Volcanicus? Because I want that more than Dinoking. (Which I do want. The Core-Class Dinobots are the kind of toys I'd be willing to buy many many recolors of.)

There's no non-Movie Daytrader, is there? For extra wackiness, he can be Comic Universe Daytrader or G2 Universe Daytrader or something.

I wonder how much advance knowledge of a redeco impacts sales (if at all) or how they could find out. Passing on a Leader because "oh he'll be released as X" later (or whatever), only to find out that no, just A and B is annoying, but so is settling for A when you waaant B. My guess is that...

Cybertron's Deluxe Unicron was a fun toy. I'd really really like Hasbro to do Deluxe-ish sized Titan-types. A lot of the bigger figures don't need to be that big for their transformation or whatever, and could easily be simplified and shrunken down. Remember when "micro-play" was a thing...
