    I guess I'm glad I got 2 at the time.

    But then why's Takara delaying Cogman?

    To focus on the movie the best line or something else we never know with this behind the scenes stuff.

    Meh, the only thing that's been warming the shelves in my area are wave one stuff, and I don't see retailers ordering anything else until they start moving the aforementioned wave, which doesn't appear to be happening.

    So I don't see anything lost with Cogman not making the cut. His charm worn off very quickly in the film and was way over used taking the spotlight off of other characters bungling the story even further, but that would require producers that know what they're doing.

    (I was mostly being sarcastic by pointing out fans want a Cogman figure. :p )

    I'm not entirely sure how a Movie The Best version would be better, though. The grey could be a more interesting silver, but I also feel like it'd just get scratched up to heck. Maybe make a more detailed interior..?

    I really don't see how just a delay for the Japanese TakaraTOMY release has anything to do with when or if we'll get the later waves from Hasbro at retail.

    Hasbro could decide to cut back the amount of Wave 4 they release to retail. Takara's decision to delay could be a result of a decision to scale back overall TLK production.

    Most likely scheduling conflicts in the production process, is my guess. The actual movie was just released in theaters last month here in Japan. Maybe Cogman will show up later in the TLK mainline as normal, or maybe he'll show up in the Movie The Best line like Bee and Hound.

    Buying 2 Cogman better be worth it.

    What's the plural form of Cogman? Cogmen?

    Then by reason of deduction, his mortal enemy would be Cognemesis

    How can AOE be a better line than tlk when we got mostly improved versions of nearly every aoe figure ( crosshair, hot rod better than lock down, voyager Scorn, ), plus new brilliant figures such as Nitro, Cogman, Berserker, Voyager Megatron, Hound, And the other AOE figures such as the dinobots came out in better paint decos. AOE is not nearly as good as the TLK toyline.

    You know, when I first heard the name Cogman, that sounded more like a Superhero name than a Transformer name.

    I agree and I think Nitro Zeus sounds like a monster truck name and not a transformer name.

    Nitro Zues is actually the name for a proposed cyber attack by the US military to shut down Irans electrical grid.

    I wonder if this has something to do with the Licensing.
