My bad, The studio series one came out before closing, Cyberverse Thundercracker never came out over here.

 

and hasbro took efforts, as i showed with links, to ensure that studio series thundercracker was released at other outlets when they found out about the closure. it wouldnt surprise me to see cyberverse thundercracker pop up somewhere during the course of cyberverse. not released yet is not the same as released at a store chain that is closing in a few months and will never be released again.

 

I would love to see cyberverse Thundercracker to come out state side.

 

same here. as much as i dislike most of the cyberverse stuff it still sucks when certain figures dont see release in all regions (looking at you prime/arms micron ironhide)

 

Someday, anyway, lets get back on topic, how do you think they'll do springer?

 

springer will more than likely look a lot closer to the cartoon model than the previous voyager, based on the rest of the figures in the line. plus they really wont have to redesign his vehicle modes too much since they were already cybertronian/futuristic. and i believe he is a wave 3 voyager, so he should see release at all stores

 

I think we should definitely get a minimum of 6 Seekers over 2 years. Maybe even 9 to 12 over three years depending on popularity.

It also depends how they would like to bulk up the Decepticon cast in years 2 and 3. They still have some Targetmasters and Battlechargers as well as possible Conehead retools.

Boxsets of 3 Seekers would be the best way to sell them since no one is just only going to purchase one at a time. They will probably add a targetmaster or so. I am not sure if those platinum/Prime Wars boxsets could accommodate 3 voyager figures. The Autobot Heroes 1986 movie characters set had 1x leader, 1x voyager and 3x deluxes. The Titans Return ones were 1x leader, 1x voyager and 2x deluxes. So 3x Voyagers kind of evens out.

I think Siege Starscream has been confirmed to be a head shorter than Megatron too.

 

the titans return ones were 1x titanmaster, 1x legends, 1x deluxe, 1x voyager and 1x leader

 

I think the potential 3x voyager boxsets will be similar to the size of the Combiner Wars sets.

 

Also, The last one was all IDW.

 

Yep, but so was the majority of the line he was released in

 

Cause Wreckers and MTMTE were hot at the time.

Agreed, I wanna see how it will compare with the third party MP's.

 

If this "KSI Boss" turns out to be the same drone that used that name, or even if it turns out to be Galvatron, Studio Series will be doing a lot of AOE decepticons (stinger, ksi sentry, lockdown, shadow warriors (lockdown's goons), and now this potential addition. I'm seriously hoping that Junkheap will be more likely with the focus AOE villains are getting, maybe a leader sized figure of a voyager figure and two half-deluxes that make the garbage truck? I'm also wondering what that voyager "hero" is, and whether it is mainline or exclusive

 

Hero is most likely the 6th and final voyager for 2019 lines up with the 3rd voyager optimus prime figure. Believed to be based on the Bumblebee movie design.

I want Junkheap and it might be possible to bring over some engineering from the new long haul. But ksi boss is probably just as the name implies and not anybody else we have already seen the cgi art on Nitro Zeus's box art.

 

Speaking of the wreckers, I wonder if Hasbro will ever tackle Rack’n’ruin I think they are one of the most prominent characters to never get a figure definitely one of the most unique characters. 

With hasbro/Takara making new molds of the targetmasters, who else is hoping that probably Takara will do redecos of them as the characters from zone?

 

I completely forgot about Junkheap for a KSI bot. But I'd rather have the Long Haul Junkheap.

 

There's not really a Longhaul based Junkheap but just a Longhaul style protoform scanning a trash truck.

If They tackle Junkheap he would probably be based on his power battler figure and just one bot or mabey something more complicated.

Off the top of my head make a large voyager sized bot the main part of the alt mode and have 2 smaller bots combine and form the back of the truck and peg together to form one vehicle.

 

It was just hopeful thinking. Not that it's going to happen.
