    As much as I’d love to get more MMs, I think this will be just a repack of the first Battle Squad. If we start seeing 2 after the names (like the Spy Patrol 2 (Ratbat and Red Frumble)) then we might be able expect new MMs, but for now I’m not getting my hopes up.

    Keep hoping, the DJD is far too kid unfriendly to ever see a US release for something short of a revived Botcon. Even then I'd sincerely doubt they would touch characters like that.

    Wild speculation time!!

    Don't know if someone has mentioned this and its been discussed, but what if ER Voyager Megs is the Takara Super Megatron from TR Galvatron that was teased last year? :jawdropper:

    Doubtful. It would most likely be a TT generations selects offering since Super Megs was teased with Star Convoy & the Seacons.

    He's an Autobot Actionmaster and in my opinion the better of the three (ignoring Prime).

    That's not too bad an idea with the shoulder wings. Except wasn't Pointblank using the bonnet, while Getaway used the doors?

    0% likelihood, if that were the case hasbro would have teased it, not Takara.

    I always wondered why TR Galvatron didn't get a retool or repaint?

    TFRobots has got you covered.
    It's based in the Netherlands
    Also Gerrutcamaro. They often get second hand stuff and once in a while pretty hard to find stuff.

    i could see Tarn and Vos happening. tank and rifle are easy enough. the other 3 are the hard part.
    could take a page from MMC's book and incorporate a third mode. like they did with Kaon's Scorpion mode. and sell the new made up third mode as the "primary" with their canonical torture device mode being something fans have to figure out on their own.
    Tesarus could be re-worked into a snow clearing train, Helex into an APC (that occasionally boils its occupants alive like a Dreadclaw Drop-Pod)

    I have to admit Cybertron Defense Red Alert makes the most sense, especially with Hot Shot being released in Siege, but I'd be tickled to see a G1 Stalker figure as well.

    On that note, why isn't anyone clamoring to turn Siege Impactor into Cybertron Defense Scattorshot, just to complete the set?

    people have been clamoring for it, but its unlikely to happen since hasbro hasnt ever used a fan vote mold for a character other than its original intended use (funpub did airazor out of windblade and takara did slipstream). impactor already got his 2nd use as impactor so scattorshot would probably be a different mold

    ZERO presence with parents or kids, it'd be the hardest of hard sells. Even if they didn't come anywhere NEAR the torture modes, they are still on the level of nobody that I doubt Hasbro would touch. Not to mention what wonderful letters would hit Hasbro once some kid decided to google who this wonderful new character was.

    The only reason we got someone like Black Shadow is because black jets are an easy sell.

    what presence does redwing, greenlight, lancer, and the powerdashers have? what about the rainmakers? siege released a lot of nobodies, releasing characters with "ZERO presence with parents or kids" isnt out of the realm of possibility.

    Yeah they have you covered, but for a much higher price... Not trying to diss them, both are good etailers. But the UK shops have better prices .

    also we got a toy of overlord and his idw history is pretty much as brutal as the djd anyway, i really dont think the djd guys are out of the question, i wont pretend the'll retain torture alt modes, but as characters they have presence with collectors/ adult fans and will probably be made when ever has/tak deem as right. besides tarn himself is a tank and is widely popular on his own, i have no doubt that at the very least he will be made at some point.

    If you remove the torture modes, yes it’s possible. But there’s no way that Hasbro would sell any TFs that feature a torture alt mode.

    To Hasbro’s credit, they haven’t had any recalls, parental backlash or other controversial issues.

    I’m also unfamiliar with modern toy aisles but I think TFs are the only super popular mainstream toy franchise that revolves around war and military themes. You gotta give HasTak their due for staying alive in a toy market that avoids glorifying violence (outside of superheroes settings).

    Here's hoping.

    So? Lots of kids bought figures that have no media presence at all.

    So what if they turn into torture devices, realistically if Hasbro ever chose to do them, they'd more likely have proper alt. modes and can "triplechange" into their torture device modes they could always leave that out of the instructions and let the fans eventually figure it out.

    I’d take Stalker. I don’t pay enough attention to the Cybertron stuff so I hadn’t thought of Red Alert.
