    Pretty much why the titan is down to ark or plex because it’s a g1 piece that had an accessory that never transformed until now according to @Apollux.

    so it’s either Metroplex g1 style with transforming slammer or The Ark with Transforming Teletraan 1
    Although something was said about the titan being “swooshable” if I remember correctly so unless that was a mistake then it’s probably the ark

    Clarification needed. Was it released in G1 and has a partner that never transformed or was it in G1 fiction and has a partner that never transformed? Because if it's the former then that would rule out the ark and it the latter could be either

    If we don't get Pointblank and Sureshot then what are we all even doing here?? :mad:  Gonna be so angry, the fact that they haven't (seemingly) just spread the 3 out over the 3 series makes me think if we do get them then it'll be some crap exclusive 2-pack thing.

    Please just don't make it impossible/expensive as to obtain overseas.

    Is this a picture of the Titan class ark? I’m so excited for it to be a weaponizer. FFE352AD-2C41-409A-BA57-67DB53D553F7.jpeg

    I thought it was beast wars. When I grew up everybody was playing with them and watching. It got more about transformers fans with rid and Armada while with beast wars it was main stream with the kids like Pokemon

    Beast Wars revived it after the lull of G2, then it lulled again during Beast Machines. Rid brought back they hype and Armada carried it on. Energon created another lull which Cybertron corrected mildly before the movies blowing everything out of the water

    When it comes to a potential "partner" synonymous with the Ark, for me there's one *cough* main person/thing that's in the *ahem* frame *cough*.

    I don't think Crosshairs was released with the intention of completing a trio but as an easy wave filler. I'm sure they'll get unique mold in time like the deception target masters did

    Man, I really hope not. It was bad enough that Countdown was only available with Omega Supreme.

    It was said that things would be finished from what PW3 had left. Now what the context was I can’t remember but I’m hoping it applies to this as they did “finish” the headmasters.

    BW was a massive hit, but sales collapsed during BM. (The same time The Phantom Menace swamped shelves and Pokemon sales nosedived. Trifecta of Hasbro panic.)
    RID was a huuuuuge toy hit. I know the show did well, but the toys were a total 180 from the BM era.
    Armada did gangbusters. Especially the Minicons, which were toy crack.
    Energon and Cybertron slowed sales. Animated never took off, but the 2007 movie made BW, RID and Armada look like middling hits.

    As a diehard G1 guy I am saddened this is coming to a close, but it's what I always wanted. I never really expected Dreadwing, Jhiaxus or Thunderwing in WFC, but was hopeful given the obvious passion of the design team. I think SS can not only be a home for some of those remaining characters, but could even introduce that media to a new audience.

    If WFC's successor has some cool play patterns and gives me some G1-esque stuff, especially new characters in that style, then I'll be game. I had Armada in 2002 and it was cool, but didn't make enough of an impression on me to be interested in them revisiting it. Likewise Beast Wars

    Look up all previous statements from our best sources. Add that to what is consistently shown on all WFC boxes and art. "Search your heart you know it to be true"

    Perfect for G1 Core class figures.

    Box art means nothing. Omega and Sentinel weren't on the box arts

    Okay but don't forget to rifle through our best sources. One of them described the Titan as somewhat like the existing Metroplex. Which is unlike G1 Metroplex.

    Until one of them outright says they turn into the Ark, then I'll take such statement as fact. Stating it's been confirmed because of these rather weak rumors is just disingenuous
