    Hmmm I wonder what the gimmick will be for the generations line. With the evolution I hope it’s not like the POTP Leader figs just spread out to smaller scales, but instead it’s brand new evolutionary designs for each character

    Eh, I guess so, but aren't the WFC Micromasters generally considered to be pretty shite? I'm not really interested in paying Core prices for something that lackluster.

    Armada Starscream? Hell Yeah! the best starscream finally gets a new toy. Hope he comes with swindle if they do mini-cons again.

    As a Micromaster fan myself... absolutely. But I would think that if they had increased quality and accessories(in exchange for having a higher price tag), they would have probably been a lot more popular. Especially since "micro" toys have been popular in multiple eras of modern toy history.

    I'd think that the hardest part would be keeping Rumble in scale while also keeping him compatible with Siege/Netflix Soundwaves and trying to make him more proportional.

    Sure. I can try.
    Straight up, I thought about it, and was like "nah", but I looked up Cybertron Shortround as if anyone cared about him almost immediately. Shortround is a no, by the way.

    Well, yeah, I agree with all of that, but that last bit is exactly why I'm assuming this isn't going to be compatible with Soundwave. Substantial improvements seem infeasible, while keeping it that small.

    But why bother making a pointless Combiner team member, when 1) the Originals are getting made (hence no one will even bother getting him), and 2) they could use that Deluxe slot for someone else?

    Anybody think we will get a new version of the 2016 Botcon Megatron. Like a new old of the character? The Botcon version sells for lots of Benjamins

    The word "pointless" in that sentence inserts subjectivity into the question, rendering it unanswerable by people that don't share your opinion - it's a loaded question. Also, the assertion that "no one will even bother getting him" is patently absurd. You're essentially trying to talk for everyone else.

    Your question is a loaded one, and you've asserted a point asserting that your buying preferences apply to everyone else. Try to make your point again, without these logical fallacies.

    It's probably a pricing error given the initial leaks of him.

    The Rumble/Frenzy mold is one of the few WFC Micromaster sculpts that I think actually has the dimensional thickness and volume to be able to even vaguely feasibly fit more articulation in, but even then I'm not sure Hasbro would want to sell one single figure that small at Core class, even if he's got a good number of accessories. My prediction is that it'll be a figure more the size of maybe Buzzworthy Core Bee, and unable to fit in WFC Soundwave's chest, in which case I'm good sticking with my Siege one.

    My biggest concern is Minicons getting axed.
