    HasTak might gamble on the idea that most of us won't really care about Rotorstorm's robot mode being too different since most of us would just being happy to be finally be getting a CHUG version of Rotorstorm in the first place.

    I personally don't have too much vested in the character outside of first discovering him and the other Wreckers in LSOTW. So using Spinister's new mold to make him wouldn't bother me too much if it's still a decent figure. I'd just be glad to add another Wrecker to my lineup.

    He is g1 seaspray in my heart >:[[[

    Perosnally I consider most of 2010 is chugish most of the guys (breacher,oilpan, brimstone, axor, Hailstorm, Hubcap, etc) can work in both movie and chug, and guys like breacher have been brought in idw. I'd love to see those scouts to get new figures, but that's a pipedream

    And a funnier Wreck-Gar!
    As a side note, "Weird Al" Yankovic turned 60 yesterday.

    Yeah, between Hoist, Grapple and Ironworks, I'm motivated to add Scoop and make them a fix it faction (With Wheeljack in and out of the group to occasionally). Probably call them the Unionbots.

    Maybe Jazz could be a new mold but since that POTP version wasn't too long ago they might hold out until 2021's line.
    Also the Siege Seekers mold made a killing so Earthrises Starscream mold won't be much different So if it hasn't already been brought up...

    Dirge 99%
    Thrust 99%
    Ramjet 99%
    Sunstorm (a Selects or another exclusive) 75%
    Bitstream 40%
    Hotlink 40%

    Which makes a total of 7 uses of the mold. But if they do make another Thundercracker and Skywarp next year (50% chance) the likelihood of Bitstream and Hotlink could drop to about 20%

    These percetages seem sorta subjective. we've haven't got any chug coneheads in a decade, we having got any welcoming comitte since like...2013. we've only had rainmakers and the normal dudes. weezing arrow, sandstorm and....the pine one would be cool or maybe a 160 dollar six pack of purple seekrs

    I just thought of something...I said earlier that I was planning on getting the cartoon Optimus but reconsidering and Hasbro shot themselves in the foot by announcing Earth mode Optimus WITH trailer before cartoon Optimus hit stores. But now I'm thinking what if Hasbro did that on purpose to subtly screw Walmart out of some sales?

    Because Walmart is a crap company that bullies the companies it get it's products from to get pretty much whatever deal they want?

    I think Windmill's, and especially Rotorstorm's colours are realistically too similar to Spinister's in alt mode to justify a release. At retail anyhow.

    I hope not, I very much do care about the accuracy of his robot mode. :<

    Apparently not, since you want him to be so much out-of-scale with a completely different bot and alt mode. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ =p

    But it's perfectly fine to enjoy a character for a non-G1 aspect of them.

    This just made me think,

    Is Hasbro avoiding the LSOTW wreakers because they were euro exclusive?

    But yes i would buy spinsister as rotostorm haha

    Rodimus Prime based off the 86’ toy is a must for me.

    I’d also like to see a Cyclones that’s the same height as Ultra Magnus since he’s a huge and emotionless air warrior.

    A non jet Elita-1 would be most welcome.

    Impactor was also a uk exclusive character so I doubt that has much bearing. They’ve only recently been putting wreckers in the line anyway, at least with any sort of regularity

    Well they did give us FOC Wreckers back in 2013. My only saving grace for buying those tacky things was that they were still only $10 a piece for Deluxe's back then and they're main weapons still have value today IMO.

    This dude is Downshift.
    But he is a dimension hopper.
    Energon_downshift_toy.jpg
    So this guy might also be Downshift.
    Downshift_G1_Toy.jpg
    This guy has a passing resemblance to Wheeljack, because their robot modes are similar.
    Their alt modes are pretty different though, because Downshift transforms into a Toyota Celica.
    I think Hasbro could make it work with some remolding though.

    But what do we do with this guy?
