    B'boom wasn't as bad a shelfwarmer as Transquito, but I remember him sitting around for years.

    I had Skyhammer as a kid. Bird/Hammerhead shark. He was awesome. I'm all for non show Beastbots as well as the show bots! :D 

    Looking at how small those bots are my immediate thought was:
    So... how long till someone does ultra detailed paintjobs on those, WITH A TOOTHPICK?!

    I mean, what does a replacement cost?

    I'd probably stick to something 3D printed! It would be cheaper!

    Leaderclass sounds about right. In general I’d like to see Hasbro increase the slot number of the higher classes with multiple-figure product like this.

    the hell is this, this doesn't seem right, don't suggest that

    b'boom is a different type of animal than primal and is more heavily armed, he needs his own mold, why must you weirdos get your show characters when there is a bunch of really cool toy only guys
    I dunno I feel like both will happen eventually i don't expect the entire wfc 3 being entirely beast wars like maybe 50 g1 49 beast wars and 1% weirdo wild card

    Takara just got done retooling a car into a squid, retooling an ape into a mandrill sounds like a walk in the park.

    So is there a good chance that Powerglide will get a toy? Perhaps a voyagers class figure?

    With the current lines trying to be inscale with each other, yeah theres no chance
    Your better off getting the voyager one from 10 years ago or the legends one since that one is very accurate or get the deluxe scaled ko if you want a bigger one

    I doubt we will get a voyager one, but a deluxe one is possible, since in the cartoon he was more or less carbot sized.

    I was thinking about all the obscure stuff they throw at the Modern WFC toylines and I had an idea.

    What if you took the Actionmaster Elite characters and made them as the disassembling type figures but the specific gimic could be they enhance vehicle mode either each others or other characters.

    So if you had say Omega Spreem his semi-bulldozer mode could fit onto one of their wave mates armouring the vehicle up - or if you had one of the two helicopters that could helicopterise a deluxe car or one of their wave mates - also as they come to pieces the accessories they form could be similar to the action master accessories like say Bumblebee's Helipack.

    But even if they didn't have a high play value I think the obscurity level of them would be a fun thing to pick characters to add to the line that people might not immediately think of using.

    ----

    I would like them to bring back Legends/scout class again sometime though with some new moulds and something like the Sparkabots would be a nice inclusion there.

    I haven't written off a straight recolour of Siege Brunt, as Slammer's colours are pretty much correct for the comic version of the centurion droids he's based on, question is whether as a single release, or will he be a pack-in with a Titan class Metroplex do-over?

    if you pack him in with a new plex what about scamper? i'd love to see him get deluxified
    oh yea and wipeout he would be cool as a repaint of some small deluxe windcharger/tailgate which I feel like will happen eventually....just so I can have my chance at rook

    IF Metroplex is a good candidate for 2021 Titan, then Slammer is a good candidate for whatever comes after Modulators. Chin up, kid! I think the odds aren’t bad.

    Yeah, that's what I'm theorising if they were to go more G1 on a New Metroplex then Brunt-Slammer, or maybe a whole cloth new Slammer, could be an integral part of city mode, so Scamper gets booted to single mainline deluxe release as Sixgun already has been.
