    Looking forward to Roadrage; just kind of hope they do end up using a more toy based head rather than the one we got with the MP personally though. A faceplated fembot would be cool. Either way looking forward to setting it next to the Botcon one and the MP as that color scheme just always hits my eyes the right way. Hopefully Loud Pedal ends up on the come up as well.
    I feel like it COULD but I guess it depends on the size. Logically having the cab robot be a voyager would mean he'd make sense at about leader class; if he turned out to be a commander I kinda wonder if that'd mean the cab's a leader or not. Either way he'll be whatever he sells for, and I'd definitely like to think he's coming up now as well.

    Target exclusives have been a bit of a mixed bag. Some I've gotten relatively easily, some not so much.

    They do seem to go out of their way to get red characters though, which I suppose is pretty good branding.

    Looks like Roadrage is a normal release? I don't see anything special about it.

    Talking about face plate fembot. Having Windblade with a faceplate would be nice sometimes too, like her animated appearance when fighting vs Meanasor, also a repaint as Maxima would be nice.

    I think it's Fire in the Sky where he appears in one frame in red (obviously the animators mistook him for Cliffjumper), but I was really meaning the 1984 toy. At least in my area, the red Bumblebee was far more common than the yellow one.

    I'd be fine with exclusives if retailers could be counted on to be competent at filling orders and Hasbro could be counted on to make enough product to satisfy demand.

    I dig a new Road Rage. I'd like to get my hands on one. Has anyone made a digibash of what it could look like? I think I already know haha.

    I fundamentally agree that getting rid of exclusives would mean the figures that were exclusives just don't end up getting made at all, but I also agree that Hasbro really needs to get their shit together in terms of producing enough, getting retailers to order enough, etc. Things have been getting really bad recently regarding the availability of store exclusives, particularly Target ones, and they need to find some way to resolve those issues.

    I wish we had removable faceplates more often. The size probably makes that difficult, they would be easy to lose.

    Swappable faces or heads would probably be easier to implement. Lots of anime figures come with those.

    Aw man this post might spawn a buncha talk over the next few weeks.

    I'm with it though, ready to drop that CW Armada Megs like a hot potato on the secondary market.

    Maybe like SS86 Hot Rod's visor but the face opens instead of the forehead?

    If exclusives end, then those figures don't get made. That's it. That's the alternative.

    I'm sure it's something HasTak considered, but the cost of implementing would likely lead to unpopular sacrifices at the Deluxe price point. SS86 Hot Rod has it, but probably because they had already bumped him up to Voyager to make the rest of the engineering work and had some room in the budget to if that as well.

    My theory is that Armada Optimus is going to be a commander, being a voyager+ with a trailer that combines, and has a base mode. I personally hope he comes out in 2022 but that’s just not going to happen.
