    This. Makes much more sense to release Dreadwing now, since honestly, Skyquake is not going to much any less fresh.

    That said, this thinking is very counter to their decision not to have any toys on the shelf for the first season... and their decisions about Cliffjumper... but it still makes more sense.

    Cliffjumper took up all the space for hi-then-die characters in the line. Poor Skyquake.

    News is very meh-worthy. Nothing unexpected or bothersome. Skyquake will come later. Fan reaction is more note-worthy. Fans are silly.

    Overreaction post FTL.

    I do love how the low bar is so low people put heir hopes on a sequel of a massively overrated third person shooter.

    Agreed that people overreact. Disagree about massively overrated third person shooter. The game was quite good. Better than all previous transformers games, better than most standard video games. Not the best game of all time, but it deserved it's praise.

    Thank you!! I LOVE THIS DREADWING design and especially the colors.
    They will probably repaint it for the Skyquake color lovers and even if not, they can repaint it themselves.

    I think we should all be excited that we are very close to owning one of the coolest designed and looking voyager figures ever released.

    Might have something to do with not wanting two big green guys in the same assortment at the same time. Or not.

    Hopefully there will be a revision case with another Starscream in it.

    Still waiting for the inevitable Voyager Class Bumblebee. Sorry, had to say it.

    So wait, people are actually pissed off that Hasbro is releasing a main character before a character that appeared in only 2 episodes (one of which he was a zombie)? Who share the exact same mold?

    Face it, if we can count on anything from Hasbro, it's that they will release repaints. In any case, I'll be getting this mold one way or another.

    Hahaha. That´s cute. It´s a average game that only receives the amount of praise cause it has Transformers slapped on it.

    i am perfectly fine with getting dreadwing first. and it would be dumb for them not to do the eventual skyquake repaint down the line at some point. maybe in the same wave as breakdown.

    what i DO have a problem with however, is these case assortments. wave 3 SHOULD have been 2 dreadwing, and one bulkhead and one starscream. but instead we get yet another optimus prime. someone really needs to bring case assortments up at the hasbro panel this year. this is just getting stupid. they don't have enough room to put a short packed starscream or more than one of a short packed deluxe eradicon into a case, yet they have enough room to cram yet another optimus prime and bumblebee in? you think they would have learned that lesson after the DOTM line. *sigh*

    well, i hope that starscream and dreadwing dont become TOO hard for people to find. it will be a real bummer if that dose happen.

    I can think of at least 200 people who would disagree with you on that.

    Fair enough.
