    Transmetals reissues? Interesting. I assume we'll only be getting characters that were in the show? Frankly, I'm fine with that for the most part given that the majority of the Transmetal molds still hold up today. As long as they don't use chrome and that brittle gold plastic on the reissues that is. Though I do wonder how well the old Transmetals figures would scale with the new Kingdom figures?

    I'm happy that Blaster will finally happen

    Many of us are I would think. I know a proper sized and looking Blaster is a big hole in my collection. Even back before WFC started the whole "relative scaling" thing I thought TR Blaster was just too big.

    @Jtprime17 can you cross reference the numbers on this list to see if it’s legit? Your the person who found the other stuff on it, right?

    I thought about getting Earthrise Soundwave and getting some MP cassettes to display around him. Instead I just might wait for an MP redo or Fanstoys. I don't wanna say KO because people might get upset. I really do regret passing up MP Soundwave with all cassettes.

    Blaster tho? I'd take one.

    Ik just saying that could be a way to get that deco for the Seige version. That one can actually pull off the shoulder cannon look.

    Glyph and Tap-Out being fake and T-Wrecks as a Target exclusive might just be the worst news that I've heard. Takes the wind right out of my collecting this year because I was wanting to target beasts and obscure(ish) characters and those were some of the funnest characters with the best molds. Glyph in particular would have been my only non-combat oriented bot and the only lady bot with an Earth (vehicle) mode. I might need to customize one.

    At least there's Mirage and Skywarp, Transmutate, Shadow Panther and purple Paleotrex to look forward to.

    I can’t be alone here in stating the obvious, hoping this is an opportunity to get a TM Megatron in non-crumbly plastic, like the old Takara version!

    Oh yeah, absolutely.

    Also, I'm glad I didn't get the earth mode Soundwave and stuck with the Siege one so when Blaster comes out (like we can pretty much guess that he'll be a retool) they'll really look different together.

    I can think of a few Transmetals that could use a reissue, but one stands out among the others...

    Unfortunately unlikely to get a reissue unless they found the mold since the BW 10th Anniversary line. Back then they said getting that figure out had been on their shortlist but was apparently lost after it was used to produce Transmetal Tigatron for Botcon 2001.

    That's incredibly unfortunate. I guess I can continue holding out hope for Depth Charge and Rampage then.

    straight reissues of the old figures or the new figures repainted in those colors? Had to ask considering that one Golden Disk card featuring Blackarachnia in her Transmetal colors.

    Considering that the engineering is there on the Kingdom molds for the BW characters, I wouldn't mind seeing Kingdom Blackarachnia retooled into her TM form.
