    I'm pretty sure Wal-Mart is having a discount on periods to help break up those thoughts.

    As to the idea that an Optimal Optimus is impossible, well, yes, in Kingdom it's probably not happening. But that is not to say that it can't happen in the post-WFC series or part of a BW movie toyline. What Hasbro does after WFC will depend largely on sales and marketing data, so if you want OpOp, buy a bunch of BW toys and pay to see the movie when it's released.

    You want to direct that at Takara, they've obviously been handling Japan centric characters lately.

    Nah, Hasbro calls the mainline shots. Star Saber isn't an obscure who like Dai Atlas or Star Convoy that can only get a Legends/selects remold release.

    People have been begging for Star Saber since Titans return.

    I think Star Saber and Deathsaurus are certainly obscure, but not obscure enough that they couldn't make figures of them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been in the POTP fan vote. And if the Powedashers got toys, I don't see why Star Saber and Deathsaurrus couldn't.

    Yup! Agreed and also they have been prominent Characters in the recent IDW comics, both pre and post reboot. We did after all get Overlord, and his only prominent place in western fiction was in IDW.

    On the subject on Japanese characters if they ever make a Deathsaurus I can see Takara strongly retooling the mold to be BW II's Galvatron for their Selects line. It'd be an effective way of getting anew figure out of BW Galvatron and it'd also be a funny way to reference on how we were going to get a Deathsaurus from the original BW II Galvatron mold for Botcon before the mold plate was lost.

    Have we actually had any hints/rumours for the commander class beyond it not being tied to beast wars?

    Nope. If it's Star Saber I'll eat a Battle Master.

    It will most likely be larger than a Leader, but smaller than a Titan.

    I think you will be so angry at the next Commander.

    I have it on good authority that it will also be packaged in a windowless cardboard box.

    Take this with a grain of salt.

    Star Saber is the guy we've waited for since Titans Return.
