    I doubt that. I don't mind them as generics but when they just nameslap OG targetmasters on guys that look nothing like them I find that to be disappointing, I'd hope for more effort, and if that isn't possible I'd rather nothing, since for me, it's just a mediocre inclusion that jacks up the price.

    Nah, all you have to do is get Dracodon when he’s released. Put him and ER Grapple into a paper bag and store them in a cool, dark place for a few days. When you open the bag again, Grapple should be a nice shade of lime green. (Dracodon is radioactive, so you should see results pretty quickly.)

    A Selects Hauler would be awesome if he had Inferno's fixes.

    Live stream starts at 11am EST. So adjust that to whatever time zone you're in.

    lucky I saw this. I got the time wrong and was thinking it was 12pm EST. I’m excited to see Jolt and Gnaw for the first time tomorrow.

    If Hasbro releases a cartoon accurate Hauler I would freak out. I have wanted Hauler since 1984.

    Do you mean cartoon accurate, or accurate to the E-Hobby release? If it's the former, you could get pretty close with Solar Storm Grappel from HFTD, considering this is the only shot of him we have. A bit too short for the Earthrise mold to work.

    I do want to see a green Grapple repaint with Inferno's head, though, which is what the E-Hobby release was (and his most consistent depiction across fiction).

    ???

    1984 Hauler is just Grapple. With some extra crates on his roof or something?

    Ah man. What if Dracodon was buried for millions of years and was unearthed by the Constructicons in modern day, and they took her under their wing?


    I’d read it.

    The G1 cartoon version which would be a retool of grapple. That is what I want.

    I might be down for the green one as well, but #1 on my list is cartoon Hauler. I'll wait a while longer to see if Hasbro makes Hauler before I buy an older version of him. I think a newer version will look better than those older ones.

    Haulers Cab is bigger, and a few other things. The different cab could change the look of his body some. Plus the robot mode could have a different head, and other subtle changes.

    It was simply drawn before Grapple had a proper animation model hashed out, so it was stylized slightly differently than how Grapple turned out in S2.

    This is exactly what I did for my kids collections , I like him and grapple both being completely different molds and I like the color differences with the head , ect. Solar storm Grapple as a toy holds up just fine with the newer stuff IMVHO

    Do public pre-orders usually go live right after the Hasbro Pulse livestream?
