    Still sometimes wonder if we might see this character done again from a Nightbeat update in the future and that's how we'd get her with the headmaster functionality

    I really hope not. If they do they better pull a Fans Hobby with new molding.

    I would prefer a new mold for Nightbeat since he has a very different look.

    No, he didn’t. He didn’t have any sort of pull in what exclusives there are until after the trend had already started.

    Yeah, should've been something along the lines of: "The energy radiating from the portal was stronger than Minerva expected, causing (idk the Headmaster's name, I never got into JG1) to fuse to her body, rendering Minerva without her Headmaster ability."

    Or something, idk. Just not "She lost her ability lol deal with it"

    Cautiously optimistic about the idea of her being available at another retailer. Masterforce is one of my top 5 Transformers series, I need this figure so bad

    Another retailer for Minerva would probably be Target.

    They can't move on to Minerva yet! They forgot to do a feature on Breakdown. Surely, it just slipped their minds.

    Definitely an odd case for me. It looks pretty nice & I'll probably still get it (if I can find it at all) as I do want a Minerva figure in my collection, but at the same time I don't think this is quite what I wanted for a Minerva. The fact that Mark said this was the only way we'd get Minerva is certainly interesting to say the least.

    I kind of feel like by compromising the two, it fucked both over in a way. I kind of wish we would have gotten a voyager Elita 1 (as if I recall she was the same height as Prime) & a headmaster Nightbeat that would be turned into Minerva later on, tho idk if that would result in a Nightbeat that's too feminine or a Minerva that's too masculine.

    I could track down the one from fanshobby, tho I think that might be too big for a chug collection, & if I recall I heard very mixed reviews on her. Plus that one also has the wrong arms even if its closer, the most accurate one I saw was the XTB version which had a Minerva & Nightbeat that looked spot on but that's very much MP scale.

    Am I complaining too much? Maybe, but I just feel like the character deserves something better than what we got.

    I wanted to be a lot more positive as I was initially very hyped this figure, but idk I just kind of got less & less impressed by it the more I saw it. But maybe that'll change when I get her in hand.

    But hey at the very least I'll be able to recreate scenes from Victory with her, 86 Perceptor & ER Wheeljack when I get my hands on haslab Star Saber & Victory Leo.

    I'm still wondering what's wrong with her being from the end of Masterforce and Victory as a total complete being with no Headmaster.

    We might be able to get Minerva mold as Velocitron Nightbeat at Walmart in 2023.

    Minerva.

    In Masterforce, the main bots were all transtectors controlled by humans until the end where they came to life.

    But it sounds fancier, and that's all that matters.

    fun is when you perfectly adhere to previously-established ironclad rules at the expense of all other possilities
