    Yes. But I always forget that when they serve me a steaming plate of magpie and sweet potatoes with French mustard.
    Can't resist.

    A CD set of Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Scourge would be amaze-balls.

    I still really want that Ultra Magnus too though I hope he gets the proper CD treatment and isn't the strange zombie Magnus from the comic (though I thought zombie Magnus was pretty dope in the comic).

    If CD does continue past Galvatron and Hot Rod, I would love to see the next figures be Ultra Magnus and an Overlord to pair with Thunder Manus.

    Yeah their Utopia was my first 3P purchase ever and is an amazing figure. Their Scorponok wasn't my style (plus I've never been a huge Scorponok fan), but I really would have loved it if they had continued with the citybots. Instead they moved on to headmasters and then weird (if cool) versions of characters that we all already have a million of. Their combiners were cool too but overly complex. It's a shame because in the world of 3P Maketoys was my first love.

    I recently picked up a loose reissue G1 Star Convoy for a steal and yes, it is amongst the most bricktastic G1 'bots, but the base mode with the tiny Hot Rod is loads of fun.
    ...then I noticed just how many design features of G1 Star Convoy are carried over into Thunder Manus' design and I start yearning for the Retool That Could Have Been....

    thunder manus truck mode.png star convoy truck mode.png

    ...complete with a ridiculously undersized long-nosed truck cab to replace Manus' much more Ginrai-esque look and treads instead of those rear wheels.

    Maketoys can't be over until after they deliver this obviously intended retool of the Thunder Manus mold.

    (In any case, it's sure a lot closer of a starting point than the thoroughly underwhelming alt mode of Takara's recent retool of POTP Optimus into something that looks like Star Convoy in robot mode but not at all in vehicle mode.

    WE NEED MORE SPACE TRUCKS MAKETOYS
    SO COME ON.
    COME ON. COME ON.
    LET'S GO SPACE TRUCKIN'!)


    I'd buy pretty much buy any redeco they put the adorable Thunder Manus cab Ginrai robot if they sold them by theirselves; as I noted above, I can see a Star Convoy retool in this mold with only a few additions and a new cab.

    For anyone interested, I did email Maketoys asking if they were still going to release CD Galvatron. Their response :

    Hello,



    Yes, Please Stay tuned on it !



    Thanks,

    Roy
