    All for seeing what they got in store. Just sold off Maverick and Ultimate X-Spanse. Crossovers aren't for me, but I'm always curious to see what they can come up with.

    Hopefully the Headmaster gimmick is scrapped entirely. Amazing what eliminating that stupid gimmick can do to improve a figure (see also: Super Megatron).

    Also: Finally, a collaborative Decepticon.

    Im all for more de-headmastered retools like Super-Megatron. Hopefully the bat mode is retooled to look better than Mindwipe’s.

    It’s most likely this figure is Mindwipe however I would’ve suggest the possibility of it being an Airazor retool before the “confirmation” since the steps say 23 and she has 22. Could also support the idea of a Nyx/Primal toy in the future. Could’ve even retooled from the upcoming Terrorsaur figure

    Hope if we get the potential Wolfman and Gillman figures they get the video tape packaging too. Would make a sweet set.

    Pretty stupid crossover. Like they reached for the bottom of the barrel. Did they even have to get a license for this one ? Were talking about an a guy who died iver 100 years ago.

    Seems like a really odd choice to pay a license for something that doesn't require a license just so they can give it a fancy box.

    I suppose if it's another pre-mould like the JP-Ford is then I might be vaguely interested - it will depend on what it turns into though.

    You... you know this isn't a Vlad Tempes x-over figure right? It's a "Universal Studios Dracula" the old black and white monster movie x-over figure.

    -ZacWilliam, you absolutely do need rights for that.

    I was just wondering if they might remould it a bit with a new head or make it look more organic perhaps.

    Mindwipe in a tux seems like an odd idea to me though.

    Probably won't get Dracula, but if I do, maybe I'll pretend it's a Count Strahd Transformer instead

    Well then Hasbro is stupid. Bram Stoker's descendants dont got no trademark. Hollywood been milking the franchise for a century. Dracula is Dracula no matter who reboots the book into a movie. I wanna know who the hell Universal Studios paid to use the concept. Cuz if they didnt pay nobody s**t, then Hasbro shouldnt have to pay nobody s**t either.

    Yeah that's not how the Laws work.

    -ZacWilliam, you can't own Dracula, but you can own your version of Dracula if it's distinctive enough.

    I need my Transformers & Kobra Kai mash up. I have no idea which TF's could be retooled to be Daniel, John Creese, etc., but I needs it.

    I want this guy just for the ubsurdity of the fact that we're getting a Dracula robot. I'd also just like to see more weird spooky themed figures honestly.

    Though, him being based on Mindwipe is, okay, I guess. I'm just not a big fan of that mold personally.

    Sounds like it’s not the Mindwipe repaint I was hoping for. Ah well!
