    Hey @wreckgar39 mind I ask these questions seeing no one brought them up yet? Sorry to bother you.

    • Just so I know before I buy the Titans Return one, do you know or think we will get Octane any time soon in the coming lines, or has he met the fate of Blitzwing too?
    • I know it was asked prior, but what is your quesstimate probability on us getting a new BW Silverbolt mold to have along side Blackaracnia?
    • Any chances we will ever see Weaponizers again? I kinda digged the concept but missed out on them, loved the Powerlinx concept too (I hope if we get Armada in 2022, we get a Armada Jetfire that combines with Prime :3 BTW you think we may see that too?).
    • OK, so the Kingdom Galvatron figure, do you know if he is the same size as the leaders we got in Kingdom and SS86 (i.e. Grimlock and Megatron BW) or is he a Voyager with fluff to make him Leader Class Price Point? I do not mind honestly, but am curious for space reasons.
    • Any word on more Cyberverse Deluxe's in the nearish future? I'm kinda hoping for a new Wingblade mold, or even Bludgeon or Drift from Cyberverse.
    • Any weird, left field stuff that we may expect to see that no one saw coming a mile away aside from SG?
    • Do you think Pineapple on Pizza is good or a sin equalvent to calling Unicron a Unicorn? I honestly never tried it, but I dig Hawaiian Steak, so the thought always tickled the back of my mind.
    Cheers! Happy New Years!

    Without getting too off-topic, I find pineapple pizza to be pretty terrible. The tomato sauce provides more than enough sweetness IMO, so pineapple just seems a bit overkill.

    I definitely think Metroplex could use a 2.0 since the T30 figure, while impressive is a bit too thin and lanky for the character he's meant to be. Rather than trying to be a combination of G1 + FOC it'd be nice to see a proper update to G1 Metro.

    To their credit he was the first "Titan", but I think now that they've done all the main ones (minus repaints) they should have another whack at Metro.

    And Quake.

    They completed the 1987 Headmasters.

    They completed the 1987 Decepticon Targetmasters.

    They completed the Powerdashers to nobody's request.

    They have indicated at conventions a desire to complete teams.

    They gave us Crosshairs in Siege- which surely has to have been a massive hint that they wanted to complete the 1987 Autobot Headmasters.

    The molds already exist to give us passable versions of:
    Crosshairs
    Sureshot
    Needlenose
    Crankcase
    Override
    Backstreet
    Nightbeat
    Siren
    Windsweeper and Dogfight at a push
    Slapdash
    Joyride at a push
    Ruckus at a push
    All the Throttlebots bar Wideload
    Leozack
    Jarruga

    Money left on the table.....

    Are there any plans for a SS Dragonstorm? Like an upscaled version of the legends mold instead of a duocon.

    i reckon that would defeat the point.
    Studio series is supposed to be "screen accurate" and a screen accurate Dragonstorm would be 13 nearly identical Dark Souls rejects assembling together into a Dragon made of Barbed wire

    I think they could have waited a year or two with Unicron since it seems the WFC line started to gain attention with the Netflix series. I literally got back into collecting just seeing Earthrise Prime at Walmart.

    I am not seeing how any of that disqualifies it from being G1 Metroplex. I could grab ANY generations figure and apply the same minor differences.

    What I'm most excited for: :) 
    - Earth Mirage
    - 2 flavors of Deep Cover
    - Leader Sludge
    - Huffer, Pipes, Tracks

    What I'm most disappointed by: :( 
    - no plans for Omnibots
    - no plans for more Diaclone repaints
    - no plans for Nova Prime
    - no plans for Detritus
    - no plans for a new Roadbuster

    Thanks wreg gar i appreciate it but i think it is completely possible an armada optimus, they did something similar with potp leader obviusly no electronics and without a mini con, maybe a voyaguer of the size of optimus primal or studio series 86 hot rod, so what we want in a generations armada optimus , base robot , super robot with articulation, if possible a kind of batle station mode it doesnt have to be the same just something that resemble a base mode, something like legs forward back kibble back, they could allways sell the mini con in a 2 pack as core class, like hot shot and red alert mini con one pack, if they skip the base mode is completely understandable and the majority will be ok with that, we can allway fan mode something, for example you can make a battle station mode of potp rodimus and optimal optimus as crazy as it sounds, been honest i think they should bring back the old 9 inch scale leaders and left this leaders as ultras, i wouldnt be against a 59.99 to 69.99 super class between actual commander and leader something like that would have been perfect for something like the kingdom rodimus or maybe this possible armada optimus?

    You are safe to buy TR. Also, the TR figure rocks.
    I suppose it depends on how well Kingdom sells? I don't have a clear answer sorry.
    Unknown, but I'm with you they were a cool concept. Also I'm with you, bring on the Armada stuff.
    Some fluff, not sure what size though. All I ever got were whispers of how Hastak is all like "We nailed it".
    I truthfully have no idea. But there would not be another BAF if it happened.
    Rexy and Copterkick reissue not left field enough?
    Ah, another important question. It's absolutely a sin, but not nearly as downright heretical as anchovies on pizza.

    Imminent sorrow...
    Try hope ahead.
    Door does not open from this side.

    It is way too early for comprehending this, someone wanna help me out?

    I dunno, people seem to be buying Kingdom in droves.

    Except he's WfC Unicron so they wanted him to drop around the time people would be buying guys from the 86 movie.

    Yep! Not to get too off topic, but I've beat Dank Souls Remastered a few times including SL1 and a one hand only run (broken wrist is a bitch.) I'm about four bosses from beating my first run of three, and then I will probably get Sekiro. Sadly no Playstation in my house so no Demon's Souls or Bloodborne for me.

    While I'm willing to believe that's the case aren't you one of the folks who seems to always doubt evidence of shelf-warming and / or dismiss it all as just anecdotal?

    So surely what you're saying here is also just an anecdote..?

    Wouldn’t it make more sense to do a crowd fund when those figures were in stores?
