    RIP everything is $250+ should be expected. Though I gotta say. Why the fuck is it “trending at $446.45.” Jesus ppl are impatient I swear.

    That's... a little over the price of two leader figures! The hell, that's a fantastic price.

    I am offended by your remark!

    all fun aside, as a kid from the eighties, I do remember carbrands being willing to stand out

    Dodge in the nineties had great adverts on how "bad" (mean in a fun way, not qualitywise) their cars were,
    Ford had the Ford sportka's "evil twin" ads witch were hilarious (in europe, I dont think americans would drive a compact like the Ka)
    but there were like Octobotimus said, people offended by these comercials and with so many people not able to laugh at some sillyness, or "reckless driving in video's" car companies take the save route, not only when it comes to adverts but unfortunate as it is also in movies.

    not to mention in proper car design and characteristics, that is an art sadly lost to the world as well..

    that said, here is the Ford Ka advert.. just for fun:


    there was also one with a cat.. but animalcruelty groups had that one taken off air.

    Hasbro once said that leader decepticons didn’t sell well, hence why Megatron didn’t get one back in the DoTM days, and after seeing store after store filled with dozens of Scavengers and overloads I’m inclined to believe them.

    This is my reason for liking Que. Almost word for word. Dino was another Autobot soldier to me. Que was a unique, fun character. Hes actually the reason why Wheeljack is my favorite.

    Could it be that leader class toys of two offscreen characters from an eleven year old movie aren’t popular with kids?

    No, it’s the Decepticons that don’t sell!

    I thought for a second you were giving us the next SS reveal hint by scratching it into your table!
    I hate all of that. Honestly I don't care if they're all GM or whatever just give us bots that can do the stuff that bots should do and don't let something as silly as licensing screw up your story. I know the car companies have every right to protect their brand image or whatever but if they're that difficult then don't fucking deal with them.

    PS: Wasn't Optimus modified or something to get around the Peterbilt thing?
    At least Dino had lines :p

    Devcon - Leader Class. Expect him to have a very funky packaging pose. A part of me thinks he won't actually be named Devcon, as we got that name from his concept art and DOTM CA uses codenames for everyone (e.g. Blitzwing/Shockwave, Breakdown/Soundwave, Warpath/Roadbuster).

    Dinobots - I hope Grimlock and Scorn get Commander Class figures and Strafe and Slug get Leaders.

    Breakaway - Unlikely so far. But when he's made, I think scale-wise he will be the size of Blitzwing.

    A proper Crankcase - Probably low priority for Hasbro, as the first time around when they had the chance to do a proper Crankcase clearly they couldn't care less.

    Twins - I want a Deluxe-priced two pack of Legends Class figures. Hopefully they can also redo the Ice Cream truck.

    Driller - Not likely. I had a wacky idea for how Hasbro could do him, but there seems to be no evidence of them actually planning to make the Driller a reality.

    TLK characters - Be patient and we'll see them. 2020 is the year for DOTM figures, so going by the trends Hasbro will probably start doing batches of TLK characters in 2022.

    I mean, Grimlock's already been made, and he was a Leader.

    Haha, got a laugh at that!
    They are Constructicons, though which fetch pretty high prices on sites like Amazon or ebay.
    Which is pretty weird given how hard Scrapmetal is to come by, and he was barely on screen, just like Overload and Scavenger/Demolishor. It may be that the kids just don’t have enough money (or the parent won’t buy it, too much, etc.), because $50 is pretty hard for a kid to get, the parents might think the toys are useless and worthless... Who knows?...

    Inspired by @Lazerwave's epic saga:
    20201116_234428.jpg
    That's the thing. For scale, I'd like it if Hasbro redid him at Siege Jetfire's size with a better dino mode.

    I just cannot see Strafe and Slug being made as Voyagers. Hasbro has shown that they're willing to fuck with scale with the Constructicons, but I'm just hoping they wouldn't do it again for the Dinobots.
