    No he couldn't? Unless you're implying that any character could be done as any other character.

    Thunderclash doesn't look like Motormaster in bot mode. Their truck modes are different. Their body configuration is wildly different; Motormaster includes the full 18-wheeler and is the same unit as his base mode, while Thunderclash is confined to the cab of his alt mode and is separate from his base mode. I don't understand how you got to your conclusion.

    Maybe he meant the cancelled Universe Menasor. Now that I'd like to see.

    Maybe will revisit that mold in the near future with new engineering. Won’t be as classic as the original but a man can dream

    I know the difference I meant if they are doing cabs with trailers he could easily fit the commander class and not be a dodgy like Ultra Magnus

    Also in Combiner wars Prime and Motormaster were the same mold but they are totally different types of truck and build so.....yeah.

    Another thing Motormaster hasnt been part of his trailer in toy form for years.

    Ive edited it as I wasnt clear on what I meant, sorry to rattle your chain over it.

    lol nah, you didn't offend me or anything. Was just pointing it out. No need to edit anything on my account.

    But that's the problem. Motormaster has been an Optimus repaint for decades now. Since the toyline is moving toward screen/comic accuracy, logically, a G1-styled Motormaster would be a full 18-wheeler.

    Thunderclash though? I see the most likely is that Hasbro would want the mold to first be the yearly Optimus figure, in this case Machine Wars Optimus Prime, and make Thunderclash his Selects repaint.


    And random note, I do think that Hasbro's next Ultra Magnus attempt will be via Commander class. The Kingdom offering was atrocious. =p

    Yeah I hope so that Kingdom Magnus sucked.

    It would be a nice turn that Thunderclash is the repaint this time round as it was Prime in the 90s.

    Yeah thats true Motormaster would be a full 18 wheeler, plus the added combiner bits which I hope they incorporate, they would be dumb as hell not too.

    Does anyone remember the Hess toy trucks that used to come out for Christmas & the holiday winter season? They're sold online now, but they used to be sold at the local Hess gas stations.

    Hasbro has been using exclusives to get more retools & repaints out, and they already have the Collaborative line going, so why haven't they done a branded-gas Laser Optimus Prime tanker truck mold yet? If they picked an international gas brand (Hess stations are defunct in the US), it'd be a good way to get a new Laser OP tooling out worldwide. And whatever you think of gas companies these days, a branded gas OP can't be any more controversial than partnering with Amazon.

    (And then Hasbro can use that new tooling for a Selects Scourge or Toxitron.)

    Yeah. That would be sweet.
    Though, imagine if Hasbro and TakaraTomy were to decide to outsource the creation of new Weaponizers/Modulators/Fossilizers to the Third-Party Companies (FansToys, DNA Design, Mastermind Creations, MakeToys, etc). They could be fully licensed to be created (to the point where they could be able to have the Autobot/Decepticon/Maximal/Predacon Symbols) and could be backed by Hasbro and TakaraTomy. This is fairly improbable, but it's fun to speculate about.
    Meanwhile, some more realistic speculation is that Skids is coming to the future Toylines. Considering the Masterpiece figure, this isn't improbable.

    or, in australia, they could do a collaborative bunnings optimus prime. based on one of these that you can buy at your local bunnings warehouse, maybe as a retool of the upcoming amazon prime optimus prime

    What Pretenders do y'all think will be in Legacy? How are you hoping they'll be handled?

    I'm liking the prospect of Core-class inner bots. That way, Hasbro could give us the shells as separate Deluxe+ figures that the Core class figures can attach to.

    Didn't one of the leakers say something that would be similar, or barely better than what they did for POTP?

    Yup, pretty sure that was Apollux. I think he said they weren't bad, but not to get our hopes up.
