    Hasbro's mantra for the past two or so years now has been that Autobots sell better. Which is why DotM didn't have any Leader Decepticons, and there hasn't been any Decepticon Weaponizers either. With three Autobots already listed for the Beast Hunters Weaponizers, I don't see any reason to believe this'll change. As for Predaking getting his own size class. He's supposed to have a rather large part in season three. So much so that he's apparently going to be on most, if not all, of the Beast Hunters packaging. Makes sense that Hasbro would make a uniquely sized figure for such an apparently important character.

    As much as I don't care about Prime, I *like* the design this implies. If the weaponizer looks like a better realized version of this, with the ginormous wheels on his back, I'll probably be getting it.

    All of that is just fan mindset though. As far as I know Hasbro has never said "No larger Decepticons ever again." Autobots do sell better yes but that doesn't mean Decepticons don't sell at all.

    Sentinel got a Leader in DOTM. He was for the most part a Decepticon and the films main villain. The Autobots might sell better but that doesn't mean Hasbro isn't ever going to release a larger sized Decepticon again. Predaking getting larger size class toy is proof that Hasbro isn't exactly giving up on larger villains. The voyager would have really been enough but they went above that. Getting a Decepticon, or rather a Megatron one to be specific, Weaponizer is not really out of the question. It never has been.

    anyone thought that with the amount of damage that optimus would of recieved with the mountain falling on him, that he may get reformatted.

    Yeah, those Autobots need Decepticons in scale with them to fight. That's why Hasbro made the Optimus Megatron Animated and First Edition two packs.

    I could tell it was bigger than a voyager That explains why it's so big then if it's a "Super" toy - I was wondering why Hasbro was being so generous with the size of it and complexity next to say Weaponizer Bumblebee if it's a $50.00 toy that would explain why.

    I don't even like Transformers Animated yet I'm quite fond of his helicopter toy. so I'd like to be able to say the same about another larger Megatron sometime.

    It would be great if they were able to run with the Weaponizer size and make many more of them. but I suspect otherwise.

    Speaking of Weaponizer Bumblebee if happened to look Weaponizers up on ebay-UK the other day and Optimus barely sells and when he does it's around £10.00 less than retail price and Bumblebee does a bit better he sells at about £5.00 below retail price. and 3 times as many units in the same time period have sold when listed.

    So I'm guessing a lot of little Jimmies are getting a Bumblebee for xmas.
    That was why I've suggested the Weaponizer Beast Hunters bee should have been released later in 2013 as a christmas/Thanks giving period toy. and Megatron should have been produced earlier in the year.


    Perhaps Megatron gets Galvatroned up with spikey armour to and they are not saying so as to not spoil the surprise.
    maybe the other Voyager is Megatron (I suspect it's Optimus though)?

    Personaly I think if they make a giftset size deluxe Optimus and a weaponizer on they don't even need a voyager.

    Oh and I'd not diss the existing Weaponizer Prime I was sceptical before I bought it too - but once I got it I quickly grew quite fond of it.

    As if anyone would believe Optimus could die just because of that rubble. He's at most only unconscious

    Where the F*** is our weaponizer Megatron!!!!!!! we all had enough of the damn Bee already!!!! Hasbro wonders why there sales are down when they keep trying to shove Optimus and Bee's down our throats all the damn time constantly! I'm sorry for being negative but the Prime and Bee crap has to chill the hell out! We are over due for a larger scale Megatron toy considering he is pretty much the largest on screen character.

    Just because a character gets a toy doesn't mean he will be in the show. Although its fairly obvious that certain characters will always be in the shows...Optimus, Bumblebee, Duke, Snake Eyes will (almost) certainly be included....And this toy looks pretty bad ass!!

    True, they never said no to any larger Decepticons ever again, but that's not what I said at all. It is true that they've used the "Autobots sell better" excuse before. DotM Sentinel, evil as he was, does NOT count as a Decepticon. His toys were marketed as an Autobot. Also, I'm not saying that it's impossible, just very unlikely, and like I said, Predaking is a special case, as he's apparently a very important element to season three's plot.

    Might want to uhhh...take your own advice...:rolleyes2 

    I would agree with you if this wasn't an entirely new mold. There is potential for this to be a toy-only redesign, but I doubt it is. It would help if we had a picture of his Beast Hunters Weaponizer. If it's also a new mold, than that would be enough confirmation for me to say he's still alive, but if it turns out to be a repaint, maybe even a slight retool...I would wonder why they bothered with the new design for the Commander figure at all...

    I don't know if that is a mantra or not. Remember, it was at Toy Fair 2011 that someone asked why there were no Leader Decepticons for Dark of the Moon and Hasbro said good guys sell better.

    But Sentinel Prime wasn't a good guy. And the Decepticons always seem to sell fine. I think Hasbro just said that to, you know, avoid revealing the spoiler that Sentinel Prime was a bad guy.

    Hmm, hard to tell what has changed with his alt mode from the pic. Whats with the Road warrior grill? Are they going for a more aggressive look for the characters to the point of them having a caveman look? I hope they don't adopt the Chunkimus prime look from the game or Energon Fatimus Prime.

    A lot of people are overlooking Prime swinging his Star Saber downwards before the Nemesis' beam blew up the base. Why have him do that instead of just do the Titanic captain scene and stand there and accept his fate? The Star Saber was glowing too...I believe he managed to make a way to escape/get under the base before the mountain collapsed but his other arm was caught during the escape.

    Prime is alive as much as Wheeljack is (who, let's face it, had a pretty obvious 'I'm still alive' 'death'). He'll probably show up mid-season/season finale. Remember, the Autobots are inhiding this season...Optimus probably scanned a new alt mode for that reason--that's how I see it anyways.

    Saw Cybverse Commander Bulkhead? Looks like they're jsut throwing armor and heavy weapons onto the characters... and a crap ton of spikes. I'm all with you though, I liked the Prime in this series, I don't need ot see him boxed and fattened up like the previous versions...although something like RID would be okay I guess (he was big and had chunky parts, but was still sleek elsewhere)

    I'm guessing there's no weaponizer Megatron because they might not be able to get his design to work with the gimmick.

    This is what I am assuming too that he escaped and scanned a new vehicle mode

    ^This.

    I mean with the alien jet mode he has... could really see their actually be a working figure out of that? Because I don't.

    However If Megatron got a new alt. mode i wouldn't object to having one.

    I'd love it if he took the alt mode of a black Stealth Bomber like in the IDW comics because his cybertronian mode does look to be a bomber plane of some sort.
