    With a leader class Blitzwing, I'm really, really, REALLY hoping they repaint him into an Overcharge. I would gladly army build a leader class if they did that lol.

    It'd also be really nice if they market it as a Quintesson, considering that's what an Overcharge is, a Quintesson produced drone.

    But yeah, the Quintessons are my favorite part of the franchise, and I've repurposed several figures to put on their shelf, like the sparkles Barricade, Centurion Drone, Roritchi, and Black Zarak, once he comes out.

    But I still really want the Bailiff in proper colors, a scientist, the three headed scientist, executioner, and that pink alicon prototype. Maybe even a recolor of the SS86 Gnaw in the concept art colors with the orange.

    Man, all this talk about the possibility of Ratchet and Ironhide having their fully functioning sleds makes me all giddy. Hopefully Hasbro is up for it this time.

    I actually really enjoy the seige and earthrise vans and i like that they are slight retools. I can give my young kids the seige mold , they can play with it for a year or so, if it breaks no problem as then I can give them the Earthrise mold after and since they have been trained how to tranform them with the seige molds so they know not what to do and what to do.

    with that said.........I wouldnt mind a more cartoon accurate colored Ratchet and if its a new mold then at least then I can have Ratchet and Ironhide be completely different toys but still look like each other and the cartoon, which I think is great for my kids.

    Right now I'm just hoping that Inferno and Tarantulas aren't mostly clear plastic like their original toy were. So far all of the Beast Wars figures have avoided it and it would suck if the last two had that particular affliction.

    Why would they? They've been going cartoon styled for the Beast Wars guys (with the exception of the realistic beast mode detailing), and considering they've said they're continuing with the current design aesthetic, there is really no reason the thought of Inferno or Tarantulas being translucent themselves should even be a thing.

    They'll most likely come with translucent Energon weapons (we had rumors that Tarantulas would come with his TM buzzsaw, I wouldn't be shocked if that's gonna be his Energon weapon), but I highly doubt the thought of making the figures themselves translucent ever even crossed the designers minds.

    Both of their original toys used translucent plastic. Inferno figure was mostly made up of translucent red plastic and in fact, that's how mine broke because the socket for his head's ball joint eventually crumbled apart and one of the elbows. I hope you're right and now one said "we should use translucent plastic to reference their original toys".

    I mean they're probably meant to be screen accurate and probably wouldn't have toy-only stuff, I'd imagine.
    I don't see why they would be. Especially if they're going for a show look

    Good news for bad people... who already invested way too much money into upgrading their ER Ratchet and Ironhide.

    Studio Series......

    And clearly the direction of travel over the past 3 years has been to be as animation accurate as possible.

    It's over....... (Prime).

    The Judge was reduced everywhere in the UK. Though admittedly not by that much before sell out.

    I know that, I have an of Inferno, but like I said, they're going for the cartoon looks.

    Scorponok had translucent plastic on his original toy, and there's not a lick of it in the kingdom one.

    They have no reason to make Inferno or Tarantulas themselves translucent. They'll likely have translucent Energon weapons, but outside of maybe Inferno's bug eyes or light piping, not on the actual robot.

    Not a deal breaker to me, I couldn't care less about the battlesled. So if you know this, what other stuff have you heard about Ironhide?

    I wasn’t expecting it. I was just hoping we’d eventually get one. Just like I’m hoping we one day get an official Marvel colored Ratchet.

    I already have it. It’s ok, but not as good as what a retail one would be.
