my name is raptrap and im heyah to say
buyin da moichandise is the real fan way
dont question the prices, figures cooler than ices
oh the quality controls bad? we took your money kid, stay sad   

 

pipes? really pipes? give me beach comber or gear or brawn...why the hell pipes. ugggh.  

 

Because they can reuse the Huffer tooling and give justice for a character?

 

We already have all of those.

 

Because there is no modern (good) Pipes figure and he was inevitable the moment Huffer was announced?

 

Can I still be Garth? (I'm dating myself here).

 

I think it might be core class. That would make the most sense.

 

i know we have all those and i know it was bound once huffer was released. but come one don't you want a better version of beach comber, gears and brawns. the war for cybertron toys are alot better and bigger than the last beach comber, gear and brawns. i mean if they shove out armies of seekers and lambos at least give me those lol

 

I wonder if we are core class Thundercracker and core class Ratchet. I thought there was a rumor/leak of a new Ratchet next year.

 

I want a Pipes that doesn't suck more than I want redos of characters I already have decent figures of.

 

It's literally just artwork

 

We more than likely will be getting the rest of the minibots in the coming years. It seems Hasbro is set on giving us all of them in Deluxe scale. Who's next is hard to say, though I'd bet someone like Brawn, Gears, or Windcharger may be next as than we could get their 86 retools. Possibly toss in one or two 85 minibots like how we got Warpath and Huffer this year.

I'm sure we'll be getting all of them in due time.

 

yeah but it's not artwork of his adorable tiger mode!

 

I think there are generally only so many ways to take a modular deluxe class robot apart to make it into a vehicle or base. Brunt and Airwave shared proportions (and people felt Airwave was a retool of Brunt from the first images of Airwave), and share some similar proportions with Slammer. Slammer has thick boots like Ironworks, but they're obviously not going to be the same since Slammer isn't going to need the ramps (one assumes). I'm pretty sure Slammer will end up sharing zero parts (or some trivial thing like the barrel piece from Brunt) with any previous Weaponizer or Modulator.

 

Shadow Panther's been a Predacon since 1997!

 

You guys know the plans changed late game with Tigertron, that's probably the Deluxe Tigertron art.

 

Rat Movie: Mystery of The Mayan Treasure. Comes with 6 core class rattraps remolded to look sufficiently polygonal, and the long awaited deluxe Rattrap that makes all the rules.

 

Another thing to consider with Tigatron is that he is technically a brand new mold, but like the MP he shares design ques with the smaller Cheetor.

This can explain why he still has the paws on his knees. He doesn't have any of the same parts, and is much more than an upscale, but his legs transform in a fashion that's similar.

That would also be why he still has the whip, it's an easy way to deal with the tail and gives him an extra weapon alongside the gut gun he's allegedly coming with.

 

them\'s be ironworks\' thighs on slammer

still, looks pretty good. reminds me of that one power core combiner, the tank one
