    Snapdragon was also shown at the panel as a mercenary if I recall, but he only gets a decepticon icon

    Well, from this video, it looks like Snapdragon doesn't have the same gimmick that Doubledealer had and I'm thankfull for it. He gets to stay with the Decepticons.

    Man... I really wouldn’t be opposed to a Lockdown figure coming out late in Earthrise, or even WFC Part 3 for that matter. Especially if he takes after his IDW design, since we know they’re willing to use those designs as well and not strictly Sunbow G1 designs.

    Pretty sure its the other way around with IDW using whatever version of the character is most recent on the shelves so Hasbro can sell more toys and in a way is basically advertising as well.

    Ahh okay I see. Either way, my main point still stands: We need a new Lockdown. I honestly have my doubts we’d get one for Earthrise but I could see it happening for Part 3.

    Trying to test what fits in Sky Lynx's poop chute, err, I meant storage bay. Any Titan / Headmasters will fit. Some Micro / Battlemasters fit. Some will only fit when loaded through the belly ramp rather than the rear. I did manage to fit 6 cassette bots in there.

    From watching the latest Scorponok review, I’ve just seen one cool possible design feature for him which looks like it was unfortunately costed out...

    His purple neck collar piece apparently pops off VERY easily (which I think was done on purpose), however if it was done in clear transparent plastic, as it may have been originally intended, instead of solid purple, when turned around it’d make a perfect replica of his transparent face visor from the original toy / Japanese Headmasters cartoon!
    69D70AD2-8968-4AD6-B544-A8877A4C1256.jpeg F73629EC-ADE7-422F-807F-F3DE2F24F84F.jpeg CE042C39-84AA-4D12-9489-0CDD966C197D.jpeg

    I would also imagine this is why there are eyes sculpted behind Scorponok’s visor... At one point I think it’s likely you could switch between his Western ‘Rebirth’/comic appearance & his Japanese/toy appearance!

    We know this toy has aspects of both Japanese cartoon/toy & American cartoon/comic appearance, I think this is one more that they decided against for costs at some point. However, it pops off so easily that a 3rd party could easily make a replacement transparent piece & take off the visor if anyone wants that.

    I definitely want a clear visor... I'm sure someone will make one.
