    the question is, does funpub count as hasbro? what was catz wording in regards to the official update? also look at my previous post, i did mention the funpub one, but it wasnt mainline and wasnt technically done by hasbro even though it was licensed

    I figure Thunderclash will be a heavy retool of Leader Rodimus, when we get him. Similar to Galaxy Prime and Magnus.

    Here's a picture of him:

    If they do the sixteams (and that's a big if) I hope/expect it to be like the Micromaster 10 pack, all in one box. It would be 6 Micromasters instead of 10, of course, but the rest of the box would be filled out by the combiner kibble, because I just don't see how they can make a combiner that small without the kibble.

    I'll be ready for you, Skyquake.

    I hope we do get Thunderclash and Skyquake soon.
    Just look at that gorgeous color scheme.
    Anime-tastic.
    This guy should be in the Gundam+Transformers crossover.
    I'm still dissapointed that he appeared in IDW just to get killed by Overlord.
    WTF, Roberts! You should have given the guy an arc before you killed him.

    Here's my proposal for the Micromaster combiner teams (except Multiforce).

    1. Leader Class.
    2. Package 4 of the 6 Micromasters in vehicle mode. Package 2 others in bot mode.
    3. Take the pieces that form the combiner kibble, structure them similar to a Weaponizer.
    4. Give the kibble the ability to form either a Micromaster base or a Vehicle (optional Bot mode).

    Put that all in a leader box, and you've got $30 worth of Micromasters along with $20 worth of Combiner kibble and that makes a leader. You'd have to be creative with how you package it to fill out the Leader Box...*or* you could introduce a new box size that would better sell the format.

    For Multiforce:

    1. Three Deluxes.
    2. Package Wingwaver, Dashtacker, and Machtackler in their combined modes. Model them after PotP Battletrap. Include the combiner kibble as weaponizer style accessories. You'll need $10 worth each.

    Boom.

    I could just imagine this guy as a Commander in WFC. It would be so magnificent. It seems like it's as likely as it's going to get with characters like him any more, but at the same time, very unlikely, as he might not be in the list of characters Hasbro draws from their hat any time soon. =/

    If only we could get more figures per year so that great characters like this would have a better chance of being represented. I understand Hasbro wanting to get a lot of earlier characters done up as quickly as they can for the Generations reboot, but there are definitely voids to fill, and IMHO, a truly updated Skyquake would be a hell of a void filler.

    Commander would be amazing. Leader would be greatly appreciated.
    It does seem like it's a turn of the wheel lately who gets a toy alongside the most popular characters who seem to get a new one in every line now.
    I do hope they follow through on the Micromasters and complete those teams.

    But guys like Thunderclash and Skyquake are definitely candidates for the larger size classes.

    Agreed on all the above. He's an awesome toy, and Nick Roche was a douche for offing him so quick, but also very cool for actually making a whole raft of TF fans aware of his existence in the first place. Viva Euro G1.5!

    Either way it’s not Thunderclash sadly since Catz knows about his third party interpretations.

    Cheers, and agreed. Love those guys!
    I have Stalker but, for the life of me, I can’t remember why he’s missing from the shot.

    The only ones I got are Stalker, Snare and Drench.
    I love Stalker. He is such a great toy with a really fun transformation. And that look is so sinister.
    I can see where Roche got the idea of making this guy a completely sadistic torturer.

    Seeing as how Seige Ultra Magnus's alt mode references the RID01 version it wouldn't be out of place if a potential WFC Thunderclash's alt mode resembles his IDW version from Rodimus which also makes it ironic given how Rodimus in IDW isn't a fan of Thunderclash. XD

    Count me in the group that wants both Thunderclash and Skyquake in WFC. If there's a time to finally bring these guys into Generations it's now. Not to mention you can makeobvious repaints of the molds for Selects.

    For Thunderclash you can get both Machine Wars Optimus Prime and the planned Universe 01 Menasor

    And for Skyquake you can get both Machine Wars Starscream and Universe 01 King Atlas too.

    If the mysterious forthcoming Leader 'bot is Doubledealer....

    Hound was repainted as Cybertron Defense Hot Shot. There are three members of the Cybertron Defense Force, and I now think we may see all three in WFC as either retail releases, or more likely, Selects releases.

    I don't have the patience to find and post photos for comparison, but when someone yesterday suggested Doubledealer could be reused for Cybertron Defense Red Alert, I realized that Impactor bears a strong resemblance to Cybertron Defense Scattorshot in alt mode, though he would need those giant launchers for accuracy.

    Yes / No / Maybe?

    This has been discussed many times over the past many months. The first pic of Hot Shot’s head on Hound’s box art sparked the flame, but when Impactor was revealed, speculation ran rampant that we’d get a missile trailer...

    im still 100% doubtful we will get scattorshot from impactor simply based on a few observable facts.
    1. all fan vote figures have been new molds with the exception of victorion

    2. all new mold fan vote figures, with the exception of trypticon, have only seen a single reuse of their mold from hasbro and each time it has been as the same character, the following is all of the new mold fan vote figures and their repaints from hasbro
    2014: windblade-SDCC 2015 Combiner Hunters Windblade
    2017: trypticon-no repaints to date
    2018: Optimal Optimus-SDCC 2018 Throne of Primes
    2019: Mirage and Impactor-2019 fan vote pack holo Mirage and decepticon Impactor

    3. of the new mold fan vote figures only one has ever been remolded into a different character (windblade to slipstream) and that was done years after windblade released and was a takara exclusive

    not saying it is impossible, but past precedent says that impactors mold will be exclusive to impactor for the time being

    Yeah but first of all, selects has just become a thing, so there's possibilities.
    Hotshot and cybertron optimus prime set a precedent for unicron trilogy Easter eggs
    And the previous ones, ignoring windblade and Victorino would have been really expensive as repaints and or retools and probably in takaras eyes, not worth the production. I dont think the same can be said with scattershot. It's just a simple retool. Honestly, they could just move it to voyager by adding the missiles and thigh fillers, than doing a new impactor again. Y'know, to troll out asses:p

    true, it really could go either way, i just feel like thus far hasbro wants to keep fan vote characters as special by only using the molds as those characters. but no precedent is ever permanent, so we shall see what happens :p

    I'm inclined to think we'll get Scattorshot, if for no other reason than that they had some leeway in Impactor's vehicle mode and they specifically chose one that very much matches Scattorshot. It's not evidence in the sense of a pattern but evidence in the way of a mindset - the CW/TFCC/Earth Wars model is an armored vehicle, the FoC model was more of a small tank, there were multiple IDW designs (with which this vehicle mold shares some designs cues), and Hasbro didn't really match any one of them to the level we know they can.
