    Now thats a name I haven’t heard in a long, long time. I know about 10 years ago it seemed like everyone was trying to make one.

    Now that you mention it, it's kinda weird that it hasn't happened. Seems like an easy sell. If Takara Selects isn't dead I could see it happening.

    I really hope Takara gives us a Guiltaur one day. It would be pretty neat to see it in whatever crazy comic series Takara is coming up with next.

    I doubt it but I'd be happy if they did.

    He's no more obscure than Super Megatron or Star Convoy, it's only a matter of time before a Takara Selects Gilthor happens.

    Yeah I agree he seems like such low hanging fruit for Takara Selects.

    I’d buy him as well as a Reverse Convoy if Hasbro Takara makes them!

    He's a nice deep cut character for Hasbro if they keep making Quintessons as a faction.

    The character has instant recognition as an Optimus/Megatron mashup.

    Star Convoy at least had a fairly major toy in Japan.

    And Super Megatron only existed as a character in the Battlestars manga until the Selects toy. Takara's Selects line is clearly a bunch of passion projects for their designers, I'd be very surprised if Gilthor isn't on their to-do list.

    With how we already got two major characters from Battlestars so far in Takara's Selects line I'd be shocked if they DIDN'T get around doing Guiltaur sooner or later. Especially since all they have to do is take an existing Optimus mold likely from the WFC trilogy and retooled it massively to include the Megatron parts.

    It's neat but I'd rather have Blue Brightes or Reverse Convoy.
