    Why, because he's too psychotic or they’d have to market him as a Decepticon even though he wasn't really one? (I mean, he acted like an average Con in all but name, so...)

    Anyway! I don't know if this is the best place to talk about this, but it's so genius that I have to share it somewhere!

    Someone on Twitter shared a concept on how a modern Armada Optimus Prime can work.

    Did anyone ever suggest that the trailer could use the CW combiner system and pegs before now? Because this feels like a "bruh, why didn't we think of this?" moment.

    I mean, if I squint really hard, I could picture the feet not being separate pieces and can be integrated into the lower legs, but I digress.

    what... no, ppl who think pharma would make a good decepticon are mistaking, because he hated cons very much and it would go against his character. anyway, the reason i think so is because at this point he has become pretty obscure. he's pretty much in the same boat as xaaron who stil has no toy to this day

    Keep in mind, a few short years ago characters like Impactor, Rack'n'Ruin and a few others would be in that same boat

    Once upon a time Impactor was in the same boat as Xaaron. While I wouldn't say he's likely, I also wouldn't say he's impossible.

    Needlenose pretool or this entire community is a craven coward.

    With some finagling and extensive retooling, maybe it can work?

    Shoot, I actually forgot he hated Cons. I was so caught up on the whole "psycho doctor guy with chainsaw hand" angle.

    But then again, Movieverse Sentinel Prime didn't really identify himself as a Decepticon in DOTM, right? Yet it didn't stop Studio Series from classifying him as one.

    I'm sure this has been brought up before but:

    Could that Takara Armada Optimus Prime go to a Haslab crowdfund if it can't economically fit into Leader or Commander scales?

    I think at this point it is better to make a new mold

    we haven't seen legacy armada starscream yet, but potentially pharma could work from him better. there are some good customs from t30 one at least

    well, impactor has more fictional appearances these days? :D  but u may be right

    didn't know abt that one

    I also thought about that but the point is that if they do make Pharma it will probably be an extensive remold of some figure

    If they go the Victory Saber route and include Armada Jetfire and Overload, maybe. If just by himself I don't think so. An Armada Prime could fit into Commander no problem if Motormaster with the Menasor skeleton can fit into that class. I would think that the main reason that Armada Prime was never released was because it wouldn't fit in thematically with WfC which was just getting started at the time and the Commander class was still new.

    Where did you get that the gimmick bots this line are organic Fuzor portal bots? Just speculation?

    None of this is happening, just their personal ideas/wish-list. There are no leaks that indicate anything like this is happening. We know everything for this year but nothing for beyond, other than a couple figures that were being discussed as maybes.

    Alright, just woke up and thought we had somehow been clued in about what the Energon Monsters were and they were then extrapolating stuff from that for next year.

    I'm hoping Starscream will get repainted in his Universe Ramjet colors, and while I want that to repurpose as Starscream's true form, it'd also work well enough as a Pharma I think.

    That asshole thinks Deathsaurus will be a Commander class figure with all the bells and whistles.
