I still want a proper Quickswitch.

I still want a proper Quickswitch.

Maybe one day, prehaps when Thunderwing finally gets a new toy, a major Marvel Comic villan and yet he only had two offical toys, G1 & Generations, Hasbro really missed a chance to use the TR Skyshadow mold as Thunderwing

Amalgamous- I was baffled at first how you incorporate a "constantly changing" Transformer into the limitations of the toyline, then it hit me: It's been some 8 years since Sixshot made his appearance in Titans Return. A six changer would encompass the IDEA of the character, while also offering a solid foundation for several redecos/retools.

If you're going for a multi-changer mold for Amalgamous, I'd point out that we're due for a CR/RiD Mega/Galva/Gigatron to go with Omega Prime.

Which will also be the 40th anniversary of TFTM and we all know Hasbro will certainly want to celebrate that, too.

And this is why we're getting three more incremental Galvatron redecos that year.

I'm still not a fan of a potential Commander slot being taken up by Nexus

I don't know if they'll make Nexus' torso a Commander class or if they'll just release Nexus as a five bot gift set ala toy colours Menasor but... I'm fairly confident he's happening. They'll get all thirteen of the... Thirteen... done before it's all over.

Techically they haven't stopped celebrating the 35th anniversary.

every year is an anniversary celebration if you don't give a jive

Or the Sumerian gods. Their powers even seem to be connected to physical macguffins that can be fought over.

I dont know anything about them, but The Norse gods have some of that as well.

Pedantic: I mean anniversary does mean yearly...

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Beast Wars having to share an anniversary with TFTM is so unfortunate.

The fact that Prime now dies so often. I mean, at least once in every continuity. That it’s become a running joke, is both funny and kinda sad.

Though nothing will quite bit the Marvel G1 perfection of Prime doing in a computer game. Having his entire mind saved on a floppy disk. Get resurrected as PMOP. Die to Unicron, onky for part his mind to merge with Hi-Q, turning him into a version of Prime, who is then made into Prime by The Last Autobot.

I suddenly get why they made Optimus the 13th Prime.

It isn't because they wanted to deify the big hero of the franchise, it's because dying and coming back is basically his superpower! Kill him, and he just gets back up like an inflatable bop bag!

"Behold my power to arise... and arise again!"

Yeah, now I finally see where they were going with Chumbawamba Prime here.
