I think we might see a redone Titan G1 Metroplex before we see Grandus.
There have been some whisperings that Tidal Wave might be a Commander rather than a Titan so he can combine with Megatron.
Leader Octane.
I guess we'll get more core cassettes.
I think we might finally get Omnibots, and...
Would we?
I mean you could literally just say the volcano errupted in a different way because of all the lava flows changes from gunfire/taking a shuttle, so subsequently the Autobots were able to defeat Megatron in short order after waking up (heck, maybe the Ark never even revived Megatron)...
A bit, but the main issue is that the budget skyrocketed due to Covid and it was simply so expensive to make in the end that it needed to be a monster hit to even break even, which it wasn't.
I'd definitely be more interested in the toy deco - generally speaking I prefer the cartoon one, but this is literally supposed to be the original toy with a bit of modernisation.
The biggest issue with Megatron for the Japanese market is probably more that putting joints in that mold is *hard*. There's only so much you can do with the hip clearance and it would look very awkward.
Prime already had knees tbf, it's hip articulation that was lacking.
This is kinda fun, will depend on how expensive it is, but I don't think there's really scope for a whole line of these. Prime works because he needs quite modest tweaking to modernise - by virtue of his transformation he was...
The cab doesn't do anything, it transforms into him. You can see the sides of it on the back shot. It's like the MP version.
(I am fine with this approach, it's a Studio Series toy. The white cab was never in the film.)
Shattered Glass Sideswipe is the cancelled repaint of Armada Sideswipe into G2 Drench.
Dammit.
That Galaxy Prime mold feels so cheap and bad but an official Nova is kinda tempting.
Kaskade and Javelin look nice, and they're really weird deep cuts. But the most weird thing is how Javelin is...
So, SDCC reveals -
Core Novakane (Freezer with a new hat)
Core ROTB Exo suit (I like it! Nice drone mode)
Core 86 Frenzy (Red) (Not a surprise but solid)
Deluxe ROTB Nightbird (ehhh, this looks worse than the mainline version to me but maybe better pictures will help)
Voyager Ratchet...
Yeah, Unicron was definitely my limit for a single item I think, and even that was on the basis of it effectively been a once in a lifetime thing.
This looks fantastic, but that price is not aimed at me. But fair play, it is as good an implementation of this as I think you could plausibly have...
Quick takes -
I genuinely guffawed when they called Shadowstriker sleek. She looks pretty awful proportions wise in both modes and is stuck with a massive kibble shield.
While Snarl is probably one of the better ones, the combined Dinobot looks a utter mess. The legs are just... Easy pass...
Still not sure the seeker is purple enough, but to be fair it also looks pretty like a dubious Photoshop job than an actual product photo.
I don't think Rook would fit the troop builder theme. Let's just have a separate Rook.
