    When MP-46 went up initially on Hasbro Pulse, she was called Black Widow. They updated the listing to say Blackarachnia instead.

    Don't mind either myself. Got the UW computron set. Also the Hasbro Soundwave set. Set boxes are worth more to keep. Than the cards but it takes space. Yet if i don't display it I still got a good way to keep the figure in good condition rather than tossing it in a big box with 50 other figures.

    Odds are much better these end up being boxed like previous Selects figures.

    Not necessarily when it comes to QC. The two Takara combiners I own have QC issues. Blast Off falls apart every time I transform him. Lightspeed had the worst combiner ratchet out of all of the limbs I own. He couldn't even hold Computron's weight in any pose. I had to take the whole thing apart and almost broke it trying to get the pin out.

    Maybe you got duds? All my UW combiners are solid so far...

    There was also a period when I thought that was his name (most likely due to Predaking). I rarely fuss over names, but Piranacon just sounds just too lame to my ears. I prefer to refer to him as King Poseidon.

    The universe version was originally called Piranhaking and the team was called Piranhacons. That was when the intention was to make them Walmart exclusive Energon Terrorcon troop builders.

    That’s funny that you think the individual releases would be in anything other than small boxes. Every release other than the Cyberverse toy line are boxed these days.

    As with TFC Poseidon, it took me a while to learn their 3P non-copyright infringing names. Heck, I'm still not 100% what the names of the individual components of UW Baldigus are called (I also sometimes mistakenly call him Ruination)

    But even if these end up being sold as "Turtler" and "King Poseidon" etc...I'm probably going to end up calling them by their US names out of habit. The only time I'd probably try to learn their names is if they do God Neptune.

    This. So what will Hasbro call Takara's possible new Deathzarus mold should it be sold as an import as part of Hasbro Selects? Lol. It will be confusing...

    It would be released in a different subline, so there would be nothing to prevent them from calling it Deszaras.

    D0h..brain fart. Makes sense but here's hoping we get more proper new molds/ heavy retools of Victory and Masterforce characters down the line. Victory Leo especially needs a new toy.

    Amen to that. I'm happy to see Takara is still dedicated to producing toys of late G1 characters.

    Funny how? , but yeah - my brain went kaput.. Lol.. My excitement has gotten to me because my minds fully aware that they would be packaged like Blastoff, Repugnus ect... I've kept those too, and after having been called out I'm thinking it wouldn't matter which way they are presented :(  Gods know how big Turtlers package will be... Guess I better try to make some space...

    They were never going to win no matter what they named him, so they should have called him Leozack and really made people's head explode.
