I still have hunches that Tarantulas will be a retool of Blackarachnia and may be a Walgreen Exclusive. Then I feel Terrorsaur may be a heavy retool of Airazor.

 

I think Thats how we will get earth mode Sideswipe, Red Alert and Mirage. Hopefully Hound but thats lots of retooling potentially.

 

Not for a while, probably. It's been 6 years since T30 Scoop and we're still waiting for Landfill and Quickmix, after all.

 

ya bet this is what Transmutate will look like?

 

Do you know why?
This is my guess.
I think the company that get exclusives, paid in front for the figure they want and the amount.
So Hasbro has that money in their pocket already.
I don't know how it goes in reality.
And the first 2 exclusives like Greenlight and Skywarp pack were made so little because they didn't think they would sell that many, looking at previous generations. How wrong they were.
Since siege, the sales of mainline has sky rocketed.
And now some mainlines are better then masterpiece ( upcoming Hot Rod ).

 

Holding out hope for a Road Rage. She seems like a no brainer for selects and I’m sure that 4chan list isn’t complete but I’m still sending my prayers to Primus

 

Could easily see us getting a Road Rage / Loud Pedal two pack for Selects like the Cordon / Spinout pack we got from Sunstreaker. It’s just a case of if we get much in the way of remolding. If it’s Selects then a new head is the best to hope for, but if not we may get a few more new parts.

 

Someone, I think Pixelmaster, confirmed that we're getting Road Rage.

 

If road rage becomes a store exclusive, id put money on target exclusive.

 

I hope it's retooled to basically turn into nothing and it just splits into parts for other characters to use, but I know that will never happen.

The whole point of Transmutate is that we never knew what it could have been. To just go "lol now it's a T-Rex, isn't that cool" misses the point entirely and just feels like "what else can we squeeze out of these?"

 

I will readily admit, I'm not a fan of the Fossilizers, but Hasbro really missed a trick with them. If they'd included a pleseosaur kind of form, they could have had a Magmatron combiner when it's joined with Paleotrex and Wingfinger.

But instead, we'll have some weird, ill-fitting redecos like Transmutate in order to reuse the moulds.

 

This is why my figures are still crossed for a G1 version of this lovely gal:

 

Now that I would like to see because it was a good-spirited "what if things happened differently?" for the character. But to overwrite what the original was, just doesn't work for me. Would rather see a RED figure as others have said.

 

Yeah, I get that. Now a R.E.D repaint of Arcee would definitely get me on board and finally buy something from the RED line.

 

But exclusives usually aren't original molds. Maybe they could do Tarantulas as a remold, but I think it would be hard to do Terrorsaur or Inferno as a remold or redeco of an existing Kingdom figure (admittedly not having seen detailed pics of Airrazor or Waspinator).

 

Personally i'd like Terrorsaur to be voyager class. To me he was like the Starscream of the Beast Wars Predacons. Recolor him twice, one blue and one black, and you got yourself a set of Beast Wars seekers.

 

maybe the armada prime that was revealed over a year ago and maybe some good looking armada toys for its anniversary

 

Some more tidbits of info from Catz.

Leader Megatron’s mold will be reused somewhere, the reuse though is not the 3rd Netflix leader.

The siege Seeker mold is going to be used again somewhere. He wasn’t specific on who the character is, or if it will be apart of Kingdom as an exclusive, selects, or Netflix.

 

from what i understood, it the same subline with the second commander

 

I bet bw megatron with be next years leader gen selects repaint, maybe t-wrecks or somethin
