    So, I have asked myself "What would happen if Hasbro were to release Thrilling 30s Metroplex and Scamper, Siege Six-Gun, Kingdom Slammer, and a Micromaster to multipack them into the Zone Metrosquad? What would be a good deal for Hasbro and us?"
    Original Price of Thrilling 30s Metroplex With Scamper: $124.99
    Original Price of Siege Omega Supreme with Autobot Countdown: $159.99
    Original Price of Siege Six-Gun: $19.99
    Original Price of Siege Pteraxadon (About the same size as a Micromaster): $5.99
    Leaked Price of a Kingdom Deluxe Class Figure: $22.99
    Leaked Price for a Kingdom Core Class Figure (the Legends class figures of Kingdom): $9.99

    So, looking at the retail price for all of these, at maximum (using the price of Siege Omega Supreme with Countdown, Siege Six-Gun, Kingdom Deluxe, and Kingdom Core Class), the price for the whole set is about $213. For the minimum price (Using Original Price of Thrilling 30s Metroplex with Scamper, Siege Six-Gun, Siege Pteraxadon, and Kingdom Deluxe), it would be about $174. Using the middle price of the two, it would be about $193.50. So $199.99 sounds like a rather good deal for the whole set. So, would you buy a repaint/remold of Thrilling 30s Metroplex (Possibly fixed up a bit) and Scamper, Siege Six-Gun, Kingdom Slammer, and a Micromaster for $199.99 or would you not? $199.99 for a Titan Class figure, 2 Deluxe Class figures, 1 Legends/Core Class figure, and 1 Micromaster? Good deal or not?

    Only if it were:
    1) an updated design, maybe closer to G1 aesthetics
    2) there were A.I.R.L.O.C.K. connectors/ramps and both cannons
    3) it was announced and available for pre-order far enough before Slammer came out that folks could go for the package deal before Slammer shipped
    I'd also ask "why core class for Scamper instead of deluxe, and who would the micromaster be?"

    The original Scamper was around that size, probably what he's referring to

    I would not buy a reissue of T30 Metroplex. I'd just give up on having a good CHUG metroplex and buy G1 Metroplex

    Unless they're done with milking Combiners, or TLK Optimus, then probably..
    I think Hasbro will leave it up to chance, and relegate Terrorsaur as part of a fan vote poll

    So I found the studio series 86 stuff and figured I'd get the movie cast on a shelf and I have a question, has there been a new springer announced? One that won't have that awful battle damage dry brush effect? Sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask, I figured it was worth a shot here in case they were rereleasing springer without that paint in the kingdom line. (I know ultra magnus is being released without it which is awesome)

    For your information, the Zone Metrosquad consisted of Metrotitan, who was a redeco of Metroplex, Metroshot from Six-Shot, Metrodash from Scamper, Metrotank from Slammer, and Metrobomb from Skystalker (the Micromaster that came with the Interstellar shuttle in the G1 Continuity). I was saying that Scamper was Core/Legends because I wanted to go with the first one that came with Thrilling 30s Metroplex.

    Meanwhile, for the A.I.R. Lock connections, I want for Titans Returns ramp connections, as well.

    Thanks. I vaguely know _of_ Metrotitan but that's about it.
    Absolutely concur on the TR ramps too, but in the really long term they need to pick a connector and stick with it for a full cycle of the citybots.

    Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. In the images, the Kingdom Core Class Megatron looks like the fusion cannon has lights. Is that true?

    Here they are, Metrotitan in the back, Metroshot on the left, Metrodash on the right, Metrobomb beside Metrodash, Metrotank in front of Metrotitan's Left Leg.

    I believe wreckgar39 refuted that rumor, and while he is newer as far as the leaks go, his track record is better so far because pixelmaster has shared incorrect information or straight up lies (armada primes prototype being intended for kingdom for example) on multiple topics.

    Personally, I look into that thread every once in a while but it gets nearly 10 pages on a daily basis so I can't keep up.

    Yeah, the most I could see them doing is Light Piping, and even that is a bit iffy.
