    Waiting 20 some odd years to get micromaster updates only to find out we're only getting half teams. Some day my beloved Hot Rod Patrol you shall be complete.

    Fate Stay Night- Oh Lord What Have You Been Teaching Her Shinji.jpg

    Of things that haven't happened would definitely be doing an updated for Rapido, but giving him the seem issue his original had. You guys know what I mean.

    Ah yes the ultimate screw you though would be teasing Toraizer...........ONLY TO FRICKIN CANCEL IT!!! Ya teased us by giving us Shuffler Hasbro and then ya tease us with Toraizer. Imaginations running wild of how great he'd turn out considering Shuffler, but then ya yank the rug from under us. (gets dragged off in a straight jacket). YOU'LL NEVER SILENCE ME ABOUT THIS!!!!TORAIZER WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN!!!!

    Giving us two Dreads on the Studio Series line (not debating the quality of Crankase) and not giving us Hatchet, the one I was interested in the most.

    They had the perfect opportunity with him to give us a Seeker combiner. Even if that was Unite Warriors I would've bought it!

    Oh cool thanks Hasbro for showing us this really awesome exclusive figure that I will probably never be able to find at retail value and have to pay a premium for if I ever want to get it.

    A couple from the top of my head:

    -Barely doing anything with that kickass T30 Orion Pax mold retooling-wise
    -No Deluxe CW Scourge\Sweeps to use as limbs for CW Galvatronus (seriously, it would've been an easy way to make multiple collectors buy the same figure at least 4 times!)
    -The spotty QC on MP figures, especially Hound
    -TR Galvatron's badly executed Headmaster gimmick (glad to see the mold get a second chance as Generations Select Super Megatron, but still)
    -That awesome looking Generations Armada Prime getting memory hole'd
    -Earthrise Arcee's backpack and lack of paint on her face\lips
    -Subpar articulation and overly boxy torso on the Earthrise seeker mold ( the latter does look a little better on the coneheads though)
    -Not putting a little hinge on Siege Flywheels' jet tail to free up his leg posability and make connecting his two halves less potentially painful

    This is more of a potential "screw you", but I would've preferred the upcoming Hot Rod to be part of Kingdom rather than Studio Series '86. Never had an SS figure before, so I don't know if they feel as solid and sturdy as the Siege toys, and I don't know how much of the staff working on SS86 is the same as the one working on the previous lines, but I hope the transition from intricate movie designs to G1 will be as smooth as possible. Prime Wars was really kind to us with all the Hot Rod\Rodimus content as far as quantity goes, but I didn't find any of the three iterations good enough for me to buy, so fingers crossed this new and upcoming Roddy figure will finally be good enough to win me over.

    Doing two members of both the wreckers and dreads and making the last wrecker an exclusive and not even doing the last dread.

    Basically turning SS into another fucking G1 line.

    Cranking out decades of Bumblebees in every line, often multiples, but never the G1 Cybertronian alt mode that I want most, then making and entire line (Siege) devoted to Cybertron and Cybertronian alt modes but still no Cybertronian Bumblebee, or any Bumblebee at all. And then the show comes out and he’s basically the main protagonist. *rrrrrraaaaaaaaaggge!!* :lol

    Hot Rod in SS86, Rodimus in Kingdom.

    my contributions to this thread: the godawful paint chipping on ER Seekers. It’s just so bad. I’ve transformed ER Starscream for around once a day since March and he looks even more beaten up than ever. Conehead’s cone’s paint chip because of the poor clearance. It’s a shame because I think that the ER Seekers are super fun to fiddle with even though they’re not the most posable.

    Siege not being Cybertronian enough (for most molds) and ER seemingly redoing the same transformation scheme but with some huge sculpt and molding differences to make an earth mode (ie Megatron, Datsun, Magnus). Just feels like a ton of time and money was wasted when they could’ve done even more characters and not live in a perpetual, never ending hell of the 84 people.

    Big names being stuck as an exclusive pisses me off too. Ratchet’s CHUG presence was only in 2008 as an retool of Universe Ironhide (which isn’t great), then Botcon, and in Siege and Earthrise he’s a bloody exclusive! I’m not affected greatly because Asian retail actually does it’s job, but I have serveral European friends that are just really pissed off.

    Oh yeah! Somehow my brain totally skipped on it, thanks for the reminder. Kinda weird they refer to it as mutant Rodimus in the leaks though, I guess we'll have to see what will come out of it.

    Making two of the DotM Wreckers weaponized and one not weaponized. And also not releasing the last one in the US. Oh, wait, they actually did do that.

    I will going forward say "screw you" to any line that does not include Pointblank, Sureshot, Eject, and Steeljaw. So Screw you all current known lines and upcoming leaked lines!!

    ER repacks taking up space in Kingdom.

    Sleeping on those excellent designs for Prima and Megatronus retooled from TR Sky Shadow. I STILL WANT THOSE, HASBRO!

    2 lines of combiners and no Nexus Prime set.
    Why?

    I think they’re going to be designed by WFC designers, rather than SS designers.

    How about all the little Autobot Targetmaster weapons being exclusives? Hasbro is definitely sticking to us with that one.

    They released two of the little Decepticon Targetmasters that look practically identical.
