    Ah darn, was that confirmed?

    All of the Selects stuff so far has been repaints or remoulds, so that'd make Optimus the first new exclusive mould....seems a bit out of character for Takara to engineer an original mould like that in this age of brand unification.

    It was mentioned at toyfair last year by warden, plus if it was a mainline figure hasbro would have shown it off before Takara, that’s why they always show off renders before cons, sometimes takaras cons happen before Hasbro’s, so hasbro releases renders so they can announce their figures first

    Hmm, very strange then! I was hoping that Optimus was more a case of a design being shown off earlier than was intended, since nothing has been seen or heard about it since that con. Wonder if that'll mean more random Takara-made homage figures popping up in future?

    ....So, it'd mean an Armada update is off the cards for WFC2 in that case anyway. Then I'm throwing it out there now -


    Armageddon Leader Class Optimus Prime:
    • Dual Energon & Machine Wars homage (slimmed down Energon cab design for the core robot, with MW inspired trailer & colour scheme. Trailer forms armour that resembles MW robot mode).
    • Features combination option with Leader class Star Saber ala Energon Wing Saber.
    • Heavy remould into/from Thunderclash.

    Well, first off GS Star Convoy is a Takara product and has nothing to do with WfC. And, while we do have plenty of Optimus and Megatrons you have to realize that those two characters will probably at least one figure each in each part of WfC as there really never is a line where we don't get at least an Optimus. Just looking at the Prime Wars trilogy we got an Optimus in all three parts and a Megatron in two parts. Those two are probably not going anywhere.

    That's actually a cool way to both bring Energon back for some representation,and giving Machine Wars Optimus Prime a better chance at being a t retail sale as opposed to be regulated for Select Series. I still think we're gonna get G2 Laser Optimus Prime sometime in the WFC trilogy but that's also a great way to give us an Optimus Prime that's not yet another G1 inspired mold.

    Would be sweet if they have similar ideas to give the rest of the MW cast a push too like a Starscream that has elements from both his G2 and MW counterparts that can be repainted/retooled from/or into Skyquake.

    Maybe a proper Generations Megatronus with the Requiem Blaster. Megatronus is a Prime, remember?

    What does Megatronus being a Prime have to do with anything?

    I remain disappointed they had two chances to give Megatron a torso mode and whiffed on both.

    I probably would have been in the minority, but I could have gone for a repaint of Onslaught as Megatron packed in with Sky Lynx during Wave 6.

    I was hoping to at least see a BW MEgatron retool out of POTP Grimlock to go up against POTP Optimal Optimus but I guess that was never meant to be.

    Yeah. Though, i guess they would need to give him his predacon minions. I mean they could make Terrorsaur out of swoop, but then we need something for the other 3 members of BW Megatron's Combined form.

    My pitch was Transmetal Megatron from Grimlock (purple Trex), Terrorsaur from Swoop (red pteradon), and a blue repaint of Sludge (flippers optional).

    Those three form the upper body, any two legs gives you Magmatron as the combined mode.

    Could have done Megatron in Wave 3 instead of repacking Grimlock and sold the two limbs as Selects later. (Hell, we've got a Red Swoop already)

    With Apeface, and presumably Snapdragon coming, I would absolutely *kill* for some kind of "Evolutions" pack.

    Mindwipe as bat Primal, Apeface as TM Primal, and PotP Optimal.

    Skullsmasher as croc Megatron, Snapdragon as TM Megatron, Deathsaurus as TM2 Megatron.

    He'd be like Starscream at the moment. Only two official arms until something came up they could leverage.

    Honestly I'm feeling like we'll see some form of BW themed combiner sooner than later.
