    If those listings from last week were true, it looks like most of the line will be different. Probably only the biggest names will be revisited. Hoist and Wheeljack are on the way... there are plenty of other characters for them to cover.

    Bear with me on this, but I feel like this could be part of a multi-layer strategy.

    Sure, there's plenty of primes left to pick, but compared to just since classics, how many primes have had their box ticked with this?
    Maybe they're TRYING to Optimus-out collectors so they can move on to a phase without him. His role in most of the "future collectors" shows is comparatively diminished... RiD, Rescue Bots... and what little I've seen of cyberverse is still more focused on "BumbleBlade/Windbee"

    This is where it has lead me: possibly they are looking at what happened in the mid 90's, with g2 not doing stellar and BW reinvigorating the brand with something that worked because it was almost nothing BUT new characters for a few years, and hoping to turn that into "something they did on purpose."
    And that would easily lead into the rumored "something for BW fans" and the belief of some that the third year of WfC will see new beast figures. If they take a "from Earth to universe/colonies" approach, that 3rd year could be beasts from earth and vehicle characters from other planets (toy series) like Lugnut sharing shelf space with Strika... Velocitron Override and Tigerhawk...

    Makes sense, all the drones got turned into weaponizers.

    I did the exact same thing as you, for the same reason. I mean Hasbro practically telegraphed this move since day one. Siege: on Cybertron. Cybertronian modes. Long war. Battle damage. Siege Part 2: on Earth. Earth modes. Everything resets, shiny, new, no battle damage. This wasn't obvious?

    I definitely look forward to fewer OP toys, more slots for others although this new prime is essentially perfect G1 Gen Prime

    Optimus is a mini MP 44! I’m glad I waited on the Siege one. And he has the trailer too!

    Grapple also looks amazing! I can’t wait for the Inferno and Artfire versions as well!

    A base mode deluxe? Looks nice!

    BIG DADDDY YEAAAH
    oh I gues trip ups cool too

    I can’t wait to see the supposed Hoist now!

    So in this next chapter, all the figures (even if they are repeats) will be in an "Earth alt. mode?"

    Ironworks was a Micromaster/playset combo back in the day. Hasbro pretty much ave the playset a bot mode and put the Micromaster in Siege's 10-pack.

    But HOLY SHIT. What if Ironworks was that oil rig ALL ALONG?!? =O

    I was a little unhappy with another prime but I\'m warming to him. Just hoping they don\'t replace all the siege characters with remoulds - the autobot cars are all fine from siege, as is soundwave. I just want them to do the missing characters

    I should have posted this TFwiki paraphrase from the start. Someone else will have beaten me to it by now:
    "And all the siege Optimus Prime toys were thrown away." :D

    I looked over Overlord's base connector and it still looks like it could connect somewhat on the side. The new connector has an extra part but I think they can finagal the old ones on. I guess we'll see.
