    Honestly I'm expecting the shield and a small slug figure of Jan (or maybe just a small, but transforming Illumina II to represent him) and the other two Rescue Patrol Micros alongside Holi (in Victory animation colors to differentiate him from Stakeout) and Clipper for the next two goals.

    If those micro figures are part of a stretch goal such as how the blast effects are packed with the V-Lock cannon then okay. But if they are their own goal I would be pretty annoyed since the WfC micromasters are terrible.

    Opportunity to create micromasters 2.0 with Dr. Wu-level transformations? A guy can dream. Those little Extreme Warfare 3P micromasters are amazing!

    I was thinking shield and victory Leo tail for the 2nd goal with possible micro masters for the 3rd

    Look, I'd be happy to have Galaxy Shuttle get even a reissue, let alone a proper update, but can everyone please just stop it with "a man can dream" as a "get out of jail free card" for making outlandish assertions about possible stretch goals? There's plenty of room to talk about how much we'd love to see certain figures without chucking them in the "possible stretch goals" category, thus stretching the word "possible" to its breaking point and far beyond.

    Forgive fellow fans for I have sinned...
    I always thought galaxy shuttle was this set:
    800px-CountdownToy.jpg
    I was wrong, I was so wrong.... Now I want the real one from the cartoon... If they started with Cybertron Jetfire they might be able to rework it to that likeness... I'm not a not skilled at kitbashing or modding so I could be out in left field on this one.

    Edit: sorry ment Armada Jetfire

    Honestly, don't sell yourself short. While Galaxy Shuttle isn't Countdown (nor his base), the Victory cartoon DID use the base's design. If you could just swap out Countdown's rocket for a scaled-version of Galaxy Shuttle, it'd be a pretty close match.


    (EDIT: TFWiki even asserts that the Galaxy Shuttle toy was designed to interact, so maybe it's even already to-scale)

    Not gonna post a scale chart for this cuz I don't wanna invoke that discussion again, but no, Galaxy Shuttle is pretty consistently Mega Fuck-Huge

    I don't know... I might take that trade for the chance of buying the UK Action Masters (and the Elites).

    I have both Countdown and Galaxy Shuttle and yes, they interact just as seen on the cartoon. Seems like they were designed to work as a pair, with them eventually released as two separate sets!

    Wouldn’t be surprised if Galaxy Shuttle, if released, gets a new name.

    Okay, looking at the Micromaster molds we got in the past few years, Holi and Clipper are totally viable since Hyperdrive and Stakeout have molds to work with, though it's possible they could do an original mold for Clipper since she was a show-only female Micromaster

    Clipper is definitely an interesting idea. A first-ever toy version (even if it can only be a repaint)!

    This would be neat to see this a opertunty for a G1 reissue of Star Saber and Victory Leo, but that's only a dream that probably won't happen because it is unknown that the molds even exist then again they recreated the Dino Cassettes. Galaxy Shuttle as a Commander class would be great partner as a tier 3.

    they're not going to do a Commander-sized figure as a stretch tier
