    I still don't get why he would say the rebirth when most of the s4 guys minus targetmasters, apeface and snapdragon are already made, by rebirth does he just mean the late 80s gimmick guys? am I overthinking things?

    it intails the headmasters, targetmasters, the clones, punch/counter-punch, throttlebots, sixshot, and other figures that came out that same year would be the monsterbots, the duocons, technobots, terrorcons and soundwaves cassettes slugfest & overkill

    We still also have yet to see the remaining Autobot and Decepticon headmasters be made from TR and the Rebirth era was when those guys show up. So it'd make sense to get around doing those guys in the 2nd part of the WFC trilogy

    what weirds me out more than 'the rebirth', because there are a few key characters that havent been remade from it, is when he talked about 'call of the primitives' seeing how almost everyone from that episode minus skylynx, slugfest & overkill and trypticon were all in potp and skylynx was in combinerwars(still needs a better update) and trypticon was in titans return so if thats a hint of whose to come only ones that could use better versions are the dinobots and skylynx and soundwaves cassettes

    Maybe primitives just means beast modes? like guys like carnivac, slugfest, squwalkbox, beast wars boys, etc

    There's also Monstructor that has yet to happen in Generations. Same goes for the Dinoking squad. If the 3rd part of the WFC trilogy is indeed beast themed in any regard then it'd make sense to include the Monstructor team in it.

    Given how the prototype for Cutthroat had Wildfly's head on him,I think it's a given that the limbs will at least be retools of the Terrorcons while the torso will either be a new mold or a retool out of the POTP Grimlock mold/

    I just don't want another snaptrap situation

    where it looks incredibly stupid and obvious that the mold wasn't intended for this alt mode

    I hope that those guys get unique molds instead.

    But how about the Throttlebots? They share roughly the same transformation as the Runabrothers, far more than any of the "Autobot Cars".

    It's about half as big as maybe being Siege scale, but I imagine that if Hasbro makes it extremely hollow(for weight purposes in addition to allowing tons of rooms for figures to be in), it in theory could be no more expensive than WFC Unicron.

    I'd buy it.

    I'm assuming wideload and rollbar would be unique molds? how do you get a jeep and a dump truck from a car

    Oooh, that's got a far better ring to it than Armageddon.

    Hmm......
    WFC: CRISIS
    WFC: ARMAGEDDON

    Crisis: (has better ring to it, especially if they're leaving war torn Cybertron).
    ARMAGEDDON: (Doesn't sound that much different than SIEGE).

    NYCC starts on 10/3 but we usually get some leaked info a couple weeks earlier. So between now and then I'm sure we'll get some answers.

    Hoping WFC3 will be named "Exodus" or something.

    I don't doubt that they'd get unique molds, but they'd still share some engineering, as Hasbro is working on a decent way to transform Runamuck's 2-wheel feet, and they'd probably take every opportunity to transplant that engineering onto bots that it would also make sense on. Wideload & Rollbar will undoubtedly get new molds, but they should at least have the same level of innovation.

    The scale is insane for retail/safety. The DESIGN is on point for me.

    Wowowow.

    Honestly, if they were looking at this kind of scale, I’d say, “The heck with transforming”.

    You’re going to have a hard time transforming stuff this big without a friend or two wrestling with it and given that it IS hollow boxes and ramps, they could probably just do the base mode of something like this as a bunch of snap together panels made from the same material as a plastic gas can for $150 or less. (Unlike stuff like MOTU Snake Mountain which has limits on hollowness and can’t ship in a flat box.)

    Eh, I think it could still transform. Most of it would be "fold it up as if you're puuing it into storage, except pull the head & fists out" or something. A simple transformation outside of ramp/compartment collapsing.

    Plus, if Hasbro's not willing to sell playsets at the size they're at without bot modes(or cityformer drones at $20, for that matter), I doubt they'd want to sell just a 4-6-ft-tall Metroplex-inspired playset.

    Armageddon has never sat right with me for two reasons:
    1. It's too long.
    2. Armageddon is an ending. It doesn't really make sense for the middle part of a trilogy.
    Chaos, Crisis, Mayhem. Short, sharp words, like Siege, that hit the point home.
