    Since 2021 is the 15th anniversary of Beast Wars and Warden made strong hints of that being a big year for BW fans it's safe to say what the final part of the trilogy may be about or at least a Generations line that goes alongside the 3rd part since we've yet to see the Victory and Euro G1 characters show up.

    I wouldn't be shocked if they did the same thing for guys like Optimus,Soundwave,and Sideswipe being retooled into having Earth modes.

    Sideswipe I can see them skipping since his car mode can pass as an earth car. Optimus and Soundwave I can see with earth modes, just hoping Prime is something beyond just a G1 earth mode and trailer(though I suspect something like that is inevitable). I get why people wanted Hasbro to wait until part 3 for earth modes but I think they're trying to strike while the iron is hot and they know some of us have been waiting for earth modes.

    This isn't an excuse for Hasbro, I can just see why they might push out earth modes sooner than later.

    I'm gonna wait until I see the Prime with a trailer before getting excited about it. If the trailer is just that, I'll pass. It it breaks up into armor or something, maybe.

    Earth Starscrean is an easy pass. I'm quite satisfied with the tetra jet version. An F15 version would have to be out-fucking-standing for me to replace what we already have.

    Definitely interested in Wheeljack. The rest I'll more than likely get but I won't rush to get them.

    Yeah. I agree. But do you think they would actually paint Ramjet white? Or simply mold him in white plastic like Siege Prowl?

    Same here especially if this a sign that Hasbro's wanting to give us the definitive updates of the famous G1 characters before moving on to the other TF eras starting with BW in 2021.

    I know that and I'm not saying they should. I'm just thinking that they may end up just putting more focus on what other TF era that may end making money for them while also still giving attention to G1 in some way or form which sounds fair enough since that way no on gets left out.

    I'm sorry, but I don't trust them to make good on that.

    They could should do a rotating secondary line that focuses on other eras like what Studio Series currently is.

    This is what I'm betting he'll be. But not a normal one - I think he'll be a playset battlestation that attaches to TR ramps, but breaks apart into weapons ala Siege Weaponizers. That way, he can interact with both the little guys and the big guys.

    Not sure if that could be achieved by a Deluxe budget, but yeah.

    probably mold him in white i would guess, starscream in siege was light grey like his g1 toy so if this earth version is the same grey then i think ramjet will be white plastic or maybe the both of them will be white

    Well, unless of course they make the shell contain a large, hollow place to insert the Micro master-sized figure. It's easier with something Voyager-sized. But Deluxe-sized? Well that could be something different entirely.

    My issue is just that I LOVE the Siege Seeker mold and I feel like if they make a new F-15 Seeker mold then we won’t get anymore figures using the old one.

    I'm super excited IF Prime is G1. Odd since we just got a great one, but an earth mode Siege style with trailer....sign me up! Then I can shut up on Prime. At least his traditional version. However, that Armada Prime does look Voyager sized to me. Star Convoy is big and Siege is a smaller scale. I don't want him to be "Prime w/trailer? though. I tend to think it would just be listed as Armada Prime. Also I think it would be out of place with the adherent G1 aesthetic.

    Grapple means Inferno, Hoist means Trailbreaker, 2 of my alltime faves. And an earth mode Starscream is glorious. Keep it coming.

    Well uhhhh we got a better AstroTrain from Seige. I’d like to see what Seige designers could do with a BlitzWing. I mean, Astro Siege is miles above TR AstroTrain.

    But if Springers main enemies are ApeFace and AstroTrain, I’m good with that.

    Soundbarrier isn't a prexisting character, so it's either a new character or a new name for trademark purposes.

    Only if it comes with the trailer which, when opened, is filled with guitar and lazy chair!
