I'd rather we got a Trannis that actually looked like what Simon Furman may have hypothetically had in mind when he came up with the character, instead of the goofy purple Junkion generic from the "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4" flashback that Ask Vector Prime just casually slapped the name onto.

Guess you're due for a name change, then. :p

That's just Siege Refraktor's shoulders unaltered.

So you're saying the trailer was always undersized for the Voyager sized cab figure it came with. ;)

And, well, these criticisms were already made back in 2011 when the design was first made. It's been 13 years since then.

I guess he really wanted the truck to be black and purple. He was also known to be a very notoriously stubborn man (he was quite rude to me once at a BotCon just because I had one opinion that he didn't share).

The collectors coin was a Hasbro Asia inclusion not originally offered with the Japanese release. My Encore Fort Max from BBTS didn't come with a coin either, and the toys that came with the coins were usually priced higher than the original coinless releases.

Blame Derrick J. Wyatt for designing the head to be as boxy as G1 Motormaster's cartoon model since he was such a G1 cartoon purist. The reason the Optimus body was chosen over, say, the Wreck-Gar body is because the Optimus body had the body builder physique they wanted for Motormaster's...

And besides, the fiction and bios justified The Motormaster having that body because he and his team were going undercover posing as Autobots. He's supposed to have an Autobot body. Plus, IIRC, Derrick J. Wyatt may have made it intentional that no Animated Decepticons turn into cars and trucks...

Takara has shown us time and again that they are willing to play by their own rules, while Hasbro seems willing to make such exceptions only for special exclusive releases rather than for general mass retail ones.

The Ravage and condor molds are gangmolded, just like every single other Siege Micromaster duo. So if you want a set with both Buzzsaw and Laserbeak, you'd end up getting two Ravages in the same set too.

Fine, then.

We know it could work. Hasbro showed us what that looks like way back in 1993.

I guess it would go in this thread.

One of the earlier ideas for Shard was to make her look like she was made out of Dark Energon, with translucent purple plastic instead of the opaque Death Crystal green that they went with.

Missing Link Convoy is the same height as the average Voyager toys of today.

*Knock knock* "Konnichiwa. I am a representative of Bandai. I would like to interest you in this little cease and desist I have for you..." 😜

Not to mention there's that upcoming SS86 Commander class figure to still look forward to.
