    Yeah, those shins under the Shield/Roof are very clearly Gears'.
    I'm actually hoping on a quadruple re-use, and that the shield can be swapped out with a blaster for Gears and Wideload (they could totally nick the 3P alt mode change for him as I reckon an orange Hummer with the uncovered Gears shins painted blue to mimic the dump truck bed cover on w/blue torso and the right head would do) keep the roof for the Outback recolour and you can either give him the blaster from a Gears/Wideload and sort them out with a generic gun, cheekily encouraging an additional purchase whilst not necessitating you buy all the characters, or source your own to gun him up to sort out a properly-armed Outback.

    technically this is w'or lass's record, but it's my record player so...you know! Will put this home when I get in. A beuat! When they segueway into the Cantina band...!

    That would be heaven, right? I do wonder how much, if any, we'll see TR molds used in PotP? Like, if Deathsarus is the Wave 6 leader and Oynx Prime is an early wave PotP Leader (as has been speculated) it'd probabaly be easy to fix the the toy so it didn't have the Headmaster gimmick. Same cane be said for any of the TR Leaders really. The gimmick in the Legends figures is pretty negligible as well. All that said, I can see the PotP line being pretty self contained.

    Yup, the Platonic Ideal!
    Plus aren't the rumours that either Titanmaster-sized targetmasters and/or Titanmasters themselves will continue over into TOTP and/or both and it will be mixed gimmicks over linewide single gimmick? If so, a wee vehicle cockpit might not be so redundant.

    Well I'd heard the opposite. Your last TR Titan Master is your last Titan Master, full stop! If that is the case, I admit I'll look at those wee wave 6 TM's quite wistfully and think about what an amazing line TR was.

    Edit: Ok, found the link. "The play pattern will be ending." has a wee bit of wiggle room. I mean, they're gonna do Scorponok but not give him a Zarek TM? hrrmmm.

    Yeah, that...

    ...seems to pretty strongly infer some "backwards compatibility" at least. Even if it's just TM pegs & the odd cockpit I'd be okay with that.
    I mean you make Tryptie TM-compatible but not Scorpy? Don't make me larf!

    and you know, Omega Supreme seem like total TM fodder with his wee face behind his visor.
    "well I'd heard the opposite" sounds so harsh and prickish. Sorry Seeaich, manflu is still eating me alive here.

    Nah, no insult inferred at this end. I'm well aware I've got rumour lag 'cause I dropped out of 'Transmissions Rumours' thread as it seemed to take a turn towards the sh*t-tip.

    yeah, same! Bit of a graveyard too. I must admit I do mainly go to TFormers for my news these days. They're just a wee bit quicker off the mark.

    I... LIVE. Nah, floating around but haven't posting in this thread... lurking? I guess I am... Anyway. Going through my stuff to store/sell/give away and I came across my Thundercats stuff from the 2011 toyline. They look so good they've evicted my OSKOSS and Jada Toys Halo Warthog...

    [​IMG]

    Sigh. Such a shame this line died.

    Haha! That. Is. AWESOME.

    Hope you don't mind but I did this...

    Hello chaps. It seems I have too many MP Soundwaves. Is anyone interested in the Hasbro Asia release that comes with 5 cassettes?

    Its in new condition as its only been opened, looked at then put into storage. Soundwave hasn't been transformed and the cassettes didnt even come out of their plastic cases. £130 including postage.

    I've also got an Iron Factrory Lord Scorpion Scorponok, again just stayed in his box not transformed. £45 posted.

    I can take paypal. Please P.M if interested.

    Thanks

    That seems a good deal for the excellent Hasbro Asia MP Soundwave set. Were you after an MP Soundwave at some point, @Astro-Furby?
