    I would buy Ruination in a heartbeat, then stand it behind my RID Scourge.

    Agreed, Beast Wars needs some love. I can't imagine a better excuse to crank out some new BW figures then an Anniversary.

    On second thought, enginering and plastic quality have really gone done the tubes in recent times so many this isn't a great idea. The thought of getting a new take on an older figure that ends up being inferior to the original is quite disheartening. Generations Cheetor, anyone?

    Did you ask Ben and Jerry how their ice cream business is doing?

    For the '86 Movie Anniversary, I'd like to see new molds of Galvatron and Rodimus Prime in at least the Voyager Class pricepoint. I wouldn't sneeze at them if they were Leader Class, but I'd say that Voyager would probably suit both pretty well.

    We need Titan Class Overlord and God Ginrai! That would be an awesome way to get them.

    Tell Ben and Jerry TFW was clearly hinting that the people want TRYPTICON! Most would've been just as happy with 6 deluxe Constructicons (of better quality) that formed a Devastator that was par with the other Combiners. It's pretty clear that 2016's Titan will just be a Metroplex repaint but if you were really listening to fans and not being somewhat cheap Hasbro would be releasing a new Titan Class Trypticon and Omega Supreme.

    F.Y.I. don't wear out your welcome with these combiner repaints! Alpha Bravo has already got enough to make 3 arms and 2 feet.

    It's quite clear that Hun-Garr will be a Sky-Lynx repaint just don't go overboard!

    So, it's still seeming like there's not going to be any BW figs from Hasbro. You know, between actually doing something for BW's 20th and giving Dev proper articulation, I feel myself slowly becoming one of those "Hasbro sucks, Takara rules" people.

    Meh, I'd be happy with a Leader class version of Overlord, Sixshot, Scorponok and Deathsaursus. Especially since they've made it clear that Bayformers = Titan Class c***block. Half of these in Titan size wouldn't see the light of day till the end of the decade.

    I would've liked to hear their comments on MP Optimus Primal. Or any MP for that matter.

    Yeah Omega Supreme, Trypticon, Fort Max, Scorponok, Predaking, God Ginrai, possibly Star Saber but already have him, Dinobot combiners, Unicron, Primus, train combiners, then just for kicks have all of the titans combine for a combiner as tall as me. Not sure if all of these would be classified as titans though.

    What do fans want from the Titan line? DUH?!? Titan Trypticon, Metro Titan, Trypticon, Fortress Maximus, Trypticon, Grand Maximus, Trypticon, Skorponok, Trypticon, Black Zarack, Trypticon, Omega Supreme, and um… TRYPTICON!

    Did I mention Trypticon?

    Plus if they do a Trypticon, they could repaint him as Gigastorm. Repaint or parts mix from other titans to make NEW Titan characters and introduce them in the fiction with the Titan wars. Maybe even make a female Titan.

    Oh, and in case no one else mentions it… FANS WANT TITAN TRYPTICON!!!

    That's a two way street though. Unlike Metroplex I have no desire to get that crappy version of Constructicons. That doesn't mean we don't want more Titans it just means that Hasbro needs to get their sh*t together and quit cutting unnecessary corners!

    Hopefully Takara's version won't be too steep. It's a shame so many people feel it necessary to go that route in the first place.

    Judging on how they've short changed the Constructicons it's clear that haven't found a "cost effective" way of making one. H3ll if they could simply make a black Metroplex repaint with a Trypticon head and get away with it I'm sure they would have by now. LOL!

    What? Hasbro's cheap, lighten up!

    Like everyone said, while there is a chance they were just being coy, that sounded like BW anniversary is about to get pretty much ignored.

    Leader would be good too but for Overlord and Scorponok they would work better as Titan since they are base bots unless they decide to go back to the old style and bring back the Supreme size like Cybertron Starscream or Primus.

    Neither of them need to be Titans, and God Ginrai in particular shouldn't be a Titan Class even if they could do it.

    I'll be very disappointed if they go Leader for Scorponok. If they're only going to do one Titan Class figure per year, I'd rather wait an extra year for Scorponok than get something smaller.

    But yeah, Overlord and Deathsaurus (if they ever do him) would be perfectly fine as Leaders. And for Sixshot, I'd be fine with a Voyager.

    I've been expecting us to get Generations Galvatron and Rodimus next year and I've wanted an updated version of Fort Max for a long time. As for Trypticon, they could release it in 2018, the same time as the next Godzilla movie.

    Not all the big bots have to be Titan-class, though. Sometimes the smaller Supreme-class size is more suitable for certain characters. EDIT: Seems like others are thinking the same thing.


    Now then, 'lifestyle play'? Are we talking Beast Wars Combiners or something. Speaking of Beast Wars, I haven't seen any sign of Generations Rhinox, Rattrap and Waspinator at all. Did any of them make it to the UK?
