Titans aren’t sold at brick and mortar anymore anyway and omega appears to be one of the best selling of them. As long as it’s cool it’ll sell. Hell this years commander is skylynx, who in the grand scheme of things is fairly obscure. Obscurity does not proportionally correlate to how well a figure will sell

and retailers still carry titans, just not brick and mortar locations. Walmart and target both carried omega online alongside online only retailers

 

Galvatron spotted on the boxes

 

Doubledealer can hold Knok and Skar in his chest ala Soundwave. I’d say that Machine Wars Soundwave is coming.

 

well, yea. sooner or later, titans will stop being a thing. that seems pretty obvious. i don't think that size class was ever seen as a huge revenue stream for Hasbro. I'm sure it makes money, but it's a piece of the larger puzzle that is keeping fans on the train.

 

What’s funny is those colors do bear a resemblance to g1 red alert, so while it’s not 100% accurate, a mw soundwave could pull double duty as soundwave and cybertron defense red alert

 

That would be pretty cool, maybe a weird Laserbeak homage as his bird mode?

 

you think skylynx can hold micromasters? I would love if he could

also we know of hothouse, and he gonna be repaint but of which? ironworks or airwave

 

Sooo... Elita One/Bumblebee/Lockdown when?  

 

You were arguing about Titans when we discussed this  . HH will (probably) be AW since they are similar enough and with enough movement (which we’ve seen with IW’s 4+ official base modes) can get a similar shape. Plus that means that mold will be one desepticon and one autobot.

 

alright I'm gonna throw my 2 cents in for random store exclusives that I want/think make sense, you can yell at me if you think I'm wrong/smelly and dumb
Target:

• another micromaster ten pack
• maybe that seeker 2 pack or something else
• redcard nacelle

Walgreens:

• Paradron medic from lifeline because medicine like ratchet
• maybe that clone set that was leaked with fastlane and pounce that would be perfect for me.

Amazon:

• Artfire or inferno with two battlemasters
• my dream of backstreet that probably won't happen
• maybe runabout (overun) like how we got the fanvote repaints on amazon?

I dunno man I thought some of these could work

so if hotlink is by himself what does that mean for the rest of the welcoming committee will we see a three pack with sunstorm, nacelle and bitstream? or does it not matter since hotlink is in a subline not part of siege somehow

 

Well since he’s part of “Wave 1” then that has to mean something, right?

 

Ok according to someone with a southernhobby account we’re getting another Ratchet as a fan channel exclusive...

 

fan channel?

 

Exclusive or online only

 

ah, thanks mate

 

And where is that?

 

Online

 

Ah I see thanks

 

Sorry, to clarify, it's unclear. It could be a store exclusive (Target, Amazon, Walgreens), or it could be available at all retailers, but only online

 

Makes more sense
