    Your logic is all wrong. Being twice given a choice between some of my favorite foods, say, chicken wings, pizza, smoked turkey, and jambalaya, if I didn't pick turkey either time it means that I clearly have no interest in eating turkey EVER AGAIN.

    All this talk of “no Needlenose” but I’d just like to say this. Every person on a poll eventually gets a figure(well, minus the POTP vote but that had 13 large characters.) It’s important to remember that figures can take up to a year from concept to release, but Hasbro plans things out much further then that. To this end, there has to be a design ready and waiting for said character if they are included in a fan vote. Thats not an opinion, or speculation, it’s fact.

    Hasbro also has a tendency to keep hold of designs for years until they are ready to make them into a figure.



    Titan Vote. Trypticon, Omega Supreme, and Scorponok. We got them all, in that order.

    POTP vote
    Optimus Primal, Ultra Magnus, and Shockwave were all on that vote. Primal won, but the designs for UM just got modified and pushed into Siege, instead.

    Siege vote.
    Impactor vs Mirage
    Wheeljack vs Spinister
    Tracks vs Needlenose.
    We have got every single character on this list, bar Needlenose.


    Earthrise vote
    Gnaw, Runamuck/bout,
    Needlenose, Shrapnel.

    Well, Gnaw is coming, Runamuckabout is out, and we know SS86 Insecticons are coming. Judging by the trend, so is Needlenose.



    As for the information that Hasbro has “lost faith” in the character after losing two fans votes, well, I’m sorry Wreckgar but that makes no sense. If Hasbro had no faith in Needlenose, he would not have been on two polls. Him showing up twice, (and losing only because these polls might as well be rigged popularity contests) means that somebody at Hasbro really wants him to win, otherwise he would not gave gotten a second chance. You don’t give second chances to people you think might fail, you give them to people you know might succeed.


    Frankly, the concept that Hasbro has “lost faith” in him has to be absolute bullshit. He just keeps getting pushed back, is the real problem.

    Use to be that I was upset that Wheeljack lost the fan vote and that he will never be. But then everyone told me wait for part 2.

    They put him in 2 polls because they probably wanted to give him a second chance, which he also lost.

    They didn't put him in 2 polls despite having no faith in him, they have no faith in him BECAUSE he lost 2 polls. They probably wanted him made at least a little, but since he lost the polls they decided that we are in no hurry to get him, and since he isn't on the 84-86 cast that they're trying to finish up, he's low priority. Just bad luck really.

    Needlenose is to toy-only fans like Buzzsaw and Gears are to Sunbow fans: a prominent hole in the collection that we really expected Hasbro to fill by now.

    At this point I'd take it, throw in his target masters like Netflix voyager packs and it'd be golden

    Of course out of all of the Seeker repaints that have been made, the one that I’d actually want hasn’t been.

    I feel that. It figures that we don't get the orange Seeker.
