My god, right? Like, it's toys. We're talking about toys, not nuclear secrets. Just let us know whats coming. I assure you, we won't sink any ships with this amazing information.

I want them to make toys of the WW2 GI Joe crossover so that I can finally tell what the characters were supposed to look like.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Cthulhu stuff didn't happen in the IDW timeline.
I want toys of the beast versions of the Hearts of Steel characters.
well, "Optimus" seems to be a slight retool of Big Convoy, right?I want toys of the beast versions of the Hearts of Steel characters.
I assume we're getting a Big Convoy sooner or later (surprised it hasn't happened already.) I highly doubt they'd do it, but I'd gladly take a retool to represent this Hearts of Steel OP.
Man, no one ever asks "How is Cthulhu".
Forgot to mention yesterday, re: Heatwave:
GIMME!!!!
Who needs to? He's always calling.
Exactly. He's always the one calling. Relationships are hard.
So, just had a thought...
Supposing they want to do Computron with this new frame style... will they need to create a big honking attachment for Scattorshot?
Or... maybe there's a way they can just use the lower half of his legs instead?
Check it:
Here, you can see his big honkin' stompers, plus the wings, attached to the back of his thighs. (Not to mention his nosecone...)
But in the animation?
Nada. Some brown bits back there where they would be, but nothing like the junk packin' the toy's trunk.
And we know they like going for animation accuracy.
While we can see his legs well enough, I can't find any good shots of his back to see if the nosecone is still there.
But either way, I wonder if that stuff would somehow be enough to suffice for making Computron's frame without adding a bunch of stuff to Scattorshot's vehicle mode.
Then again, I guess they could just reference the model sheet instead...

Whoops, my bad, I was thinking of the third part of Hearts of Steel, the X-Files crossover, which doesn't really jive with the modern era IDW stuff.
They could make it with just Scattershot himself. But then that's not necessarily untrue of Silverbolt, Long Haul, and Jarugar either.
Tbh the main thing I'd be looking for in a new Computron is a more faithful Nosecone. It was unfortunate getting the G1 toy colors from the Hasbro release but the better drill tank mode from the Takara one (and only being able to afford/keep one).

Two heads, two butts.

Early in the days of the 3P combiners, one released sketches of Terrorcons. Hungrr had the Abominus chestplate as a detachable set of wings. Maybe somehow bulk up the beast modes limbs with the rest of the body since spindly limbs are common with Terrorcons
Or dragon trailer.

The beast with two stomachs.
Despite the design similarities. The Prehistoric Optimus design was supposed the be a species of sauropod.
The "trunk" was the neck and head.
So it'd at best have to be a full re shell of any big Convoy mold.
