They need to just swallow their pride and make a Battlemaster version of Megatron. It might be tricky to get the gun mode to perfectly match the cartoon model and still transform, but one that size SHOULD pass safety laws and be a decent seller for the size, plus give us a needed option since so many characters from Siege/Earthrise were seen using him as a gun in the first couple seasons of the cartoon. Then do a Shockwave in the same size.

Warren never said that Bee wouldn't be a remold of Cliffjumper. He just said that Cliffjumper "wasn't just" a remold of Bumblebee. That is a very big difference.

 

So, "Micron" suggests some Armada presence, right? They already announced the Armada Prime figure, but I haven't heard anything about that for a long while. There was the Cybertron Hot Shot repaint, too. Other than that, I don't know what else they'll be bringing. Possibly some Mini-cons as Micromasters?

 

They had to photoshop the hands blue lol

 

Its not their pride its American toy gun laws that stop it happening.

 

Delicious.

Could that be Megatron floating out in space in the top right corner?

 

I’ll never find any in a store

 

That lighter blue on Prime's eyes makes them stand out a lot better.

 

I hope not, I'd personally want Minicons to retain their legacy gimmick, even though I realize that legacy gimmick retention seem to be exclusive to G1 characters in Siege.

 

Hmm.... Grapple and Hoist are buy on sight's.

But I wonder if I could swap Generations Wheeljack's head with this ER one.

In which picture?

 

Wheel jacks gun looks like ass. Crap as a shoulder launcher and crap as a handgun

 

Hotrod and Kup are a givin at some point

 

I mean, they still could. Like, minicon pegs are still 5mm with a hole in the middle and a square base, which in retrospect, the concept would go well with weaponizers. Especially if they trigger features.

 

Looking at that boxart, I'm eager to see what Doubledealer will look like. The body looks reasonably similar to the original, but I'm not so sure about the head. Happy the wheels are in the right spot.
Also, what is the device that Shockwave is playing around with? Are those sparks?

 

I feel like Shockwave and Sixshot could get away with it because their gun modes were always very "squint and it kinda looks like a futuristic laser gun, sorta" for the alt modes while Megs alt mode was based on an actual, real firearm. If they did what you suggest people would just complain and moan that the alt mode doesn't look like his "classic" gun mode because it can't. It would HAVE to be redesigned as a "squint and it kinda looks like a futuristic laser gun, sorta" alt mode.

Couldn't agree more! Speaking of which, when was the last time we heard anything about the Netflix series? I already feel like they're grossly neglecting the perfect opportunity to reboot the War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron video game series. I adore those games and desperately want to see them revisited or rebooted in some way. Give em' the God of War treatment!

 

Grey body. Black boots and arm.

 

That boxart looks awesome.

but is that T30 Trailbreaker between Arcee and Hound?

 

Bring em on!  

 

Battlemasters are like an inch or slightly more in robot mode and about the same amount of length in weapon mode. They just released five little gunbots in Siege that all were available at retail. I'm not saying a Battlemaster Megatron would be the main representation of the character in a line but it would be a nice option.

From what I understand the wfc universe is supposed to exist in the G1 continuity. Unless I missed something, which is quite possible and even probable. I've always felt megs as a tank is Hasbro just saying (let's be lazy and not engineer a proper transformation) In truth it's just split his legs hide his arms and lay him down. Also being that its supposed to be earth alt modes its only logical to make him his classic self. Just my humble opinion. Feel free to disagree.
