    That's what we've been told (I think it was Pixelmaster who first mentioned it), as far as I know

    doubt the twins will be core class. they are very small yes but cause of their designs they would end up with the whole car hanging of their backs. atleast with a deluxe price theyd have the ability to fold that in

    I bought a second Berserker too, and honestly that's perfectly enough for me. The alt mode is correct, the color layout looks good next to Crowbar and the only 'differentiator' is the red x on his chest which doesn't bother me. I probably wouldn't buy another when the main difference would just be the name on the box.

    It's a pass on galvatron.

    I feel like whenever the Twins get made, they're gonna follow the design philosophy of ER Cliffjumper: small figures but bulky enough to be larger than Legends/Core Class, and some extra accesories to make up for the price point.

    If they were to be accurately scaled with the SS line, they’d actually be shorter than a lot of core class figures. Still need that deluxe level budget to do them justice and include some accessories though. I’d love if they pulled a human alliance and brought back the Leo and Simmons minifigs. It would also be hilarious if they had clips on their backs so that SS Bee could pick them up like in the film.

    They would still have to be taller than the Arcee triplets, who are a head shorter than your average Core Class figure

    I mean, the Arcee triplets are out of scale with everyone, similar to Grimlock and Scavenger, so if it came down to it, I’d rather Skids and Mudflap be scaled with the majority rather than the minority.

    Even if they're off by a few centimeters, the Arcee triplets are closer to being in scale than the old ROTF Deluxe bikes, the SS ones are properly sized in their bike modes and their sizes in bot modes fit with the rest of them

    My dude, the old figures are irrelevant to this conversation, the new ones are still out of scale. Although I’ve discovered that doesn’t really matter either way. I’ve been saying that a good height for the twins is 3 inches and it turns out that’s taller than the SS Arcee triplets. So this all works out pretty well.

    A surprise for sure, but a welcome one! I just might get him early before anyone else

    That's neat, it's crazy how we are getting Thundercracker this early since he is supposed to release in November

    Same. I still can’t order Ironhide and Arcee, nor Sideways and Bumblebee, so I’m not sure why Thundercracker and Galvatron are suddenly ready to ship out.

    Thanks to the boards I was able to snag a Galvatron yesterday! Should be arriving tomorrow, along with Premium Series Ratchet, which I found for a decent price.
