    Oh? Okay then, just a question, does megatron have a similar situation with a mace instead? Kind of curious

    This is Core class OP. Is this a future Selects or Kingdom subline release? I guess it'll be a 2-pack with Megatron and his mace.

    Any insights on her weapons/accessories?

    Is this a bit like Blackarachnia's Mutant Mask? Made with the figure but for use later on?

    All alternate faces/ accessories are all pretooled on can be turned on/off on the mold sheet like a button, even if they’re going to be used or not

    That’s not correct either. With ‘it’s exclusive to’ you are including all items of the group/set here. The letter G can’t even be called a prerequisite as it has no relevant meaning (categorically speaking).

    That's not how "exclusive" works. Exclusive doesn't mean everything in the group has the property.

    If a transformer is exclusive to wal-mart, that doesn't guarantee every wal-mart has the transformer.

    If a hair colour is exclusive to a particular ethnicity, that doesn't mean that every member in the ethnicity has that haircolour.

    If a game is exclusive to PS5, that doesn't mean every PS5 comes preloaded with it.

    If belly hair is exclusive to men, that doesn't mean that all men have belly hair.

    Also, I was making a joke. The G in GPS stands for Gold. If brown plastic had it, we'd call it BPS. However, if green plastic had the problem, it would still be called GPS.

    That is how it works. Every Walmart has the property of being Walmart, which is a prerequisite for carrying the item. Being Walmart isn’t a sufficient prerequisite though.

    ‘Every word with the letter G’ has no property to speak of in this context. As such, you can’t use ‘exclusive to’ here.

    I know you were making a joke, but you still made a claim so I am responding. ;)

    I said every colour palstic that starts with G, not any word. GPS is exclusive to plastics with a colour that starts with G. Starting with a G is a property that is a pre-requisite for having GPS.

    Every colour that starts with G has the property of being a colour that starts with G.

    I understand what you are thinking, but a letter on itself has no property. We’re talking categorization here, based on properties. In our modern day collective understanding a letter has no meaning or property on it’s own (least not letters from the Latin alphabet).

    So we are looking at colors. Then we take all items from this group that start with the letter G. But they have nothing in common, other than having a ‘label’ that starts with the same letter. But that’s not a property. It’s our labeling.

    Numbers on the other hand very much have properties, inherent or assigned to. But that’s not the discussion.

    If they'd given us a Deluxe Rattrap, we could have had a look in on Razorbeast. But alas.

    What specifically are you talking about? It sounds like you are trying to apply a specific academic and trying to fit everything into it. As someone who has spent many years in academia, I can tell you that there are many terms used in academics that are altered definitions because they are more useful, but that doesn't mean they replace the original definitions or intended to be used outside their specific field.

    In every day language, you can categorize things alphabetically. I mean, that isn't even obscure, saying "categorize alphabetically" is literally language all the time. And as such, there are things that can be exclusive to a particular category of lettter.

    I'd bet money on a 2-pack with a dam diorama like the Quintesson pack. Maybe an exclusive for Pulsecon 2 that's rumored to happen in Spring?

    I mean technically GPS (Gold Plastic Syndrome, not "Insert color that starts with G here" Plastic Syndrome) is an incorrect name seeing as not all gold plastic suffers from it and it is not exclusive to plastics of colors that start with a G. It was dubbed GPS because gold plastic was the most common plastic to suffer from it, but a more accurate name would be Metal Flake Plastic Syndrome or MFPS, but the fandom doesn't like to adapt to accurate information.

    Rhinox into torca seems to be the easiest. And then the repaint of torca can work

    Has Dinobot been skipping (beast) leg day? :p 

    He's looking great. But there better be something inside that tail...

    Primal is about Ironhide/Ratchet height. Dinobot is Inferno/Grapple height.

    Hope this helps with scale a bit.
