I always chuckle when Movie Megatron handles Starscream’s head in TLK and comments on his treachery; because while that his most defined and stereotyped character aspect the films never bothered to actually include him ever doing it.
Some have argued that Starscream was hidden among the Air Force jets who fired on Megatron as a group in the first movie. But I do admit that that's something one would have to be looking for pretty hard in order to notice in that scene, and it requires one to already be familiar with the typical treacherous nature of most Starscreams beforehand in order to even come to that conclusion in the first place.

ROTB clear Chainclaw coming out in Japan, with purchase of new Japanese Earthrise toys.

It might be in ROTF. Resurrecting Megatron was easy, but it's a safe assumption that Starscream was happily planning on never getting around to it. I take it that Soundwave did that on his own.

Eh, that’s basically a promotion. Like the difference between someone walking off a cliff by themselves and you pushing them.

I’m still a little disappointed (especially with Transformers One getting pushed back) that the product line ended so soon and so sparse. Right now, the only things really left for US retail are for distribution to catch up to Battlemaster Airrazor and Combiners Optimus Prime.
And whatever the frick Hasbro’s doing with the Core Deluxe and Voyager figures (outside of the Voyagers being Walmart exclusive)

I’m also sad that the toy line(s) didn’t offer more coverage for the villains and Cheetor. Both Nightbird and Cheetor would have been great supplements to the Battlechanger assortment, while Battletrap would have benefitted greatly from a Weaponizer release with a Terrorcon.
My hope remains that Transformers One’s product line echos what was done with Rise of the Beasts. I LOVE the Weaponizers and Battlemaster play pattern, and the Weaponizers turned out to be, generally, pretty solid $10-ish toys on their own right.

As always, I want a Unicron Trilogy style sublije imprint of all the molds getting redecos in entirely new color schemes.
I still want a “Classic Maximal” 4 pack with the Core figures in classic Beast Wars deco. Or at least something more colorful in the case of the Voyagers (GREAT molds, lackluster colors)
And even then you had better odds of winning the Powerball Lottery than finding a Primal.
I don’t recall Primal being hard to get last May when stuff first rolled out. But he seemed to move pretty well and now Walmarts are flooded with Rhinox.
Speaking of, did ANYONE in the US find the Core Voyagers outside of Walmart? The wiki might need to be amended to denote them as Walmart exclusive.

Some of us have said we wanted them in the previously made/designed recolours for those characters, especially if they have been limited to certain shops in the past (such as Nightprowler colours, Halloween colours, Fox Kids, etc).

That's the best price I've seen for this toy, 20 bucks over retail and free shipping.
Interesting thing is that it is sold and fulfilled via Walmart.com with that inflated price.
This is a first...since when is Walmart themselves in the business of gouging?!? Voyager OP is that price now as well.

I'm glad I found mine when I did. He's a decent toy. I love how they did his chest transformation.
But he is not at all worth 77 bucks.
