    Can anyone do a digibash of the Selects nautilator in lobhammer's colors? Curios how that'd look on the actual figure

    Btw, I'm not sure where this figure in the picture comes from but it is almost identical to the transforming toy non-transformer from the Dollar Store. It's filling in for Metroplex's buddy and Metrotitan's buddy. Although now I heard they will be releasing an official version in the future. I'm still happy with the two $1 since Hasbro seems to be jacking up prices in the future to $22.99. It's things like that price hike that's making me think maybe the legend figures with the legends price is a better deal especially for those of us that have a small amount of space who are seeking most of the G1 characters.

    All that said if they made Metroplex and MetroTitan's sidekick buddy into a CW figure then I would on board for it but 19.99 is already a solid amount since if I get two it's $39.98

    Really? Well, I stand corrected then. I would have thought they would have used the most recent version of that character....

    Wow, I never saw Megatron be used in this was as a sub component to a larger figure. I'm very intrigued by it. It allows Megatron to still look like Megatron but it also gives him an Alt mode he deserves. Very cool! Not sure if I understand why it's blue, I rather it be grey or silver.

    Not is Studio Series, but all signs point to Commander Rodimus in Kingdom this year. Full trailer with battle platform, Sword of Primus, Matrix, some other accessories that I forget, voyager-sized Rodimus figure with complete alt mode when not connected to the trailer.

    Reverse Convoy was a Japanese-G1-only character from the Robotmasters fiction. His bio:

    However, other fiction like Ask Vector Prime made some weird retcons to the character. Supposedly he was part of the Convoy Council in BW Neo from tens of thousands of years in the future, but I take the canonicity of AVP with a grain of salt. I prefer to think he was just a fake body built by Megatron and Reverse Convoy never really existed. I mean, c'mon, the clue that he's fake is right there in his name, lol.

    Rrrggghhh! I need to fight temptation and wait for the Studio Series G1 Dinobots. Given Leader Grimlock's innate awesomeness, one can only imagine how the others will turn out...

    When was he established as Blue Brightest?

    I think a heavy remold of Siege Impactor, or Siege Megatron. Wouldn't even mind if they used the upcoming Slammer Weaponizer.

    Most of the characters who live in the previous universe are repurposed toys. So Brightes and Reverse Convoy, while looking identical, are completely different characters. Brightes was killed by the Specters, and Reverse Convoy was killed by Grand Scourge.

    I'll take a Brightes figure! Matrix is a must. Wowsers, we need a new Megatron mold with some soul, like ER Prime.

    I'm going to assume you mean Lovehammer or whatever his name's supposed to be since Lobclaw's literally just Japanese Nautilator

    Well, if you buy the Reverse Convoy toy, you can repurpose him as Brightes, just like this comic did. Although the toy does not come with a Matrix.
