    The real likely scenario is just no ruination. I'd bet itd be a G2 bruticus but I'd not complain about, say, Battle Gaia or energon colors

    Dude....

    if you feel like are being weird to you, and you are apparently unable to keep away from the website, block them/put them on ignore. It's literally that easy. There's no moral aspect to it one way or another, you're curating your online experience. You don't have to keep waxing about how mean people are being to you, you can just block/ignore.

    I don't know the correct answer to how micromasters should be done, but I do know that I will forever be angry at Hasbro for not giving us a new Erector & Oiler & Slide.

    1. I hate you all for making me care about micromasters. :)  Before I joined the forums I literally went from couldn't care less to buying everything but the target multipack to buying multiples to customize. I love the little guys now.
    2. Having said that, I wonder about the scale, if we are going with toon, toy, or comics scale. Depending on which one they go with I think you could easily go with a slightly larger better articulated mold with no issues. However, to match Siege, I think you could just engineer the arms well enough to do what we want.
    3. If they want to do that, I'd prefer they release the whole team as a multipack at a Deluxe pricepoint. I know, I don't want to rebuy all the ones I got already, but I wouldn't be satisfied with half the team one way and the rest the other. I'm not convinced that even better articulated versions released as 2 packs will sell any better.
    4. Fix it, Oiler, Slide, Sea Watch, and Erector are the 5 MMs I want the most. If the giggles are what's keeping Hasbro from making our favorite Hall of Fame flunk out from being produced (Which I get as I inadvertently made several funnies typing this) then CHANGE THE NAME. We know who he is, we can call him whatever just as we do with Slag/Slug.
    5. Failing all that, at least make Fixit a core class. He's been probably the second most important micromaster in the franchise. At the very least, do the RiD 15 character as a core. He was pretty cool.

    I'm disappointed that I wasn't around for Erector's HoF candidacy, I 100% would have voted for him and would have done so on multiple devices

    I would go for that, especially since it would be an army builder...

    I don't think Legacy Prime Arcee mold is the right mold for it, but I think it'd be neat to get Legacy homages to the cancelled G2 Soundwave and G2 Jazz Laser Cycles. (I think a new Road Pig should come first though.)

    If a G2LC Soundwave isn't an option, maybe Hasbro can instead make cycle bot versions of Rumble and Frenzy that homage their IDW1 appearances? I like that Soundwave has little buddies that fit in his chest, but I'd also like to see some of the more well-known original guys grow out of their dependence on Soundwave's chest for shelter & transport. If they're more independent, that'd allow some of the less well-known minicassette bots to move to the forefront as his new support team/agents. (Or heaven forbid, let Soundwave and Blaster foster some all new "rookie" buddies.)

    Edit: And a cycle alt Frenzy or Rumble could always attach to a Soundwave in Earthtruck mode.

    I'm all for some cassette minions that don't turn into cassettes. I always loved the Alternators Frenzy for that reason. A motorcycle mode would be a great altmode for that type of thing...

    Did they do both? I thought they just did Rumble…

    edit: Nope, just Rumble as a Walmart exclusive. I thought that maybe TT had done a Frenzy in Binaltech or something.

    Oh man, it was my bad. I just see red and think Frenzy if that makes sense. I wish they would have done both though

    You know what, that's not what I was thinking of, but maybe? 3P has shown there's an interest in smaller combiners, but I'd honestly say that HasTak should focus on the standard sized versions of each team first before dipping into Core class territory with them. I've got both that RotF release and the Prime Abominus, and both were valid attempts, but had their flaws. Devastator doesn't do much else but stand there, since you can only really rotate the face and where the limbs attach (with a slight butterfly joint at the shoulders) and Abominus is a bit of a fiddly mess. With today's modern engineering and scaled down CW parts? Maybe it could work, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Granted, does that mean I'm against combiners that would scale well with the others at the Core class? Not at all. Some of the previous ones mentioned would be a great testbed, but more than likely, the big ticket lads will be the first ones pushed out in this hypothetical lineup if HasTak would want it to gain any traction.

    But now that has me curious... Do we think the MP Raiden is going to be the only time we're going to see that combiner within the next five or so years? I certainly hope not, but I feel that having an MP scale combiner release in a similar timeframe as a Generations one would have the two undercut each other to some degree.

    An old gimmick team that has a WWII alt and a new boat?

    PLEASE let Leadfoot be a gateway for these lads! Love me a good 1940's fighter and always welcoming to some boat lads and lasses!

    One of them is red, the other’s blue; pretty sure that’s simple to remember.

    I'm pretty sure one of them is purple and lavender.

    It will never not amuse me how the 3DS version of "Rise of the Dark Spark" somehow had Frenzy be blue and Rumble as purple / lavender.
