    Trailbreaker is more likely than Blitzwing. Sadly, looks like Blitzwing would be a few years off if he's even under consideration. I'm all for it but don't expect him anytime soon.

    What makes you think that? We got Astrotrain and Octane. And Blitzwing in Animated. He's he's gotta be high on their list at least right?

    Generations is still a good vehicle for them to put out some of their re-heads, which are already sunk cost. But yeah, "full line" indicates it's not under Generations, which makes me afraid that the line may be retired or put on hold.

    However, FoC Dinobots pretty much are Classics Dinobots, which we've been clamoring for nonstop.

    As long as we get Jazz and Shockwave I'll be happy. An updated (Voyager?) Optimus Prime would also be awesome, as would a Voyager Onslaught.

    I'm liking the art style for the rescue bots series. Reminds me of Animated. Although the show won't be as good as Animated.
    If their past is any indication, a year after the game is released :p 
    AND THE FANDOM REJOICED!

    Also, dat Prime packaging is purty.

    What would be really sweet... but i really really doubt happening. Is if in the FoC line, they figure out a way to incorporate weapons into the figures that can interchange, but they don't hold them persay. In the game the arms change into the guns, and it would be neat to have a sort of universal interchangeable weapon system for the figures. I can wish :]

    As long as the weapons don't have dumb gimmicks...

    ???

    I can't remember since I bought Cyberverse Blackout a while ago, but was that still licensed? If so, I don't see why licensing would still be an issue.

    Only mention of Movie toys was the fact that Movie Optimus Prime sold well.

    If I might interject here, you're right in no small way at least; Blitzwing should be more likely on the shortlist of pre '86 movie characters due for Generations/United, etc treatment almost by default now. While retool/redeco potential (for multiple characters seen in the cartoons) seems less of a necessity when lines like Animated are considered, this sort of factor is prevailent in Classics etc and so would push Blitzwing down any hypothetical list.

    Which brings me back to the mention of Trailbreaker you were addressing. One piece of circumstantial evidence that Trailbreaker, Gears and Brawn are at some stage of development (for presumably Deluxe size realeases as two already have Legends figs) is that FunPub/Botcon/TCC have stated they are steering clear of characters that deserve broad classics releases fro Hasbro, specifically mentioning the three above. Naturally, their redeco/retool potential as Hoist, Swerve and Outback respectively does not hurt their chances in the above hypothetical list situation either. ;)

    I meant the prime line, my fault, I should have been more specific.

    Didn't specifically said, but they do have long-term plans for Transformers: Prime.

    Excelent so it can be assumed, I recall reading a list from a credited user that there would be leader class figures of season 1 characters but, I never heard anything more about it.
