    doesn't it get exhausting being this negative all the time?

    Armada Cyclonus is literally just a hinge for the backpack and head, almost every other transformation step he has is just action figure joints.

    hot shot is bordering on rescue bot engineering and they still found a way to complicate him. i imagine sandstorm/cyclonus would be the same.

    Pretty much. I have the original and if they just fixed some of the proportions on the figure, it’d be pretty close to perfect. It’s an easy choice for them to update.

    Obviously I'd hope that the update would be extremely simple and focus on adding articulation and retaining micron compatibility, but I doubt it.

    HANG THE HECK ON HOW DID I MISS THIS

    You mean...you mean there's actually gonna be a new toy based on one of the RiD01 Autobots that isn't Siege Magnus' half-hearted alt mode? When did this get leaked?!

    We don’t know, it could be based on the one from 2001, it could also be G2 Wildrider under a new name like Shadowstrip. But my money is X-Brawn/Wild Ride.

    I want G2 Wildrider but my hunch is that the G2 Stunticons will all be exclusives, released over years. Watch them shove one into Shattered Glass.

    I have Legacy Hot Shot. I'd love a Legacy Armada Cyclonus that's as great as Legacy Hot Shot.

    I wouldn’t say most likely as iirc the official listing is “ROBO WLD RDR” which could mean that it’s like a G2 Wildrider or something. I’m not getting my hopes up. But I still hope it’s X-Brawn!

    but dragstrip is G2 ShadowStrip with his listing being "Shado Stri" so yes, the "robo" listing is more G2 wildrider than a new xbrawn.

    I really don't think anybody should get their hopes up for X-Brawn. And I'd very much prefer it to be him! But it's just so much more likely to be a G2 Wildrider to me.

    I don't know. Everyone and theirbrother was beyond sure that it was so likely that the upcoming Prowl just had to be G1.

    Could be the name. Like how Dragstrip rather than being caked G2 Dragstrip was Shadowstrip, G2 Wildrider could be like Robo Wildrider or something. Idk I hope the RiD01 X-Brawn.

    I tend to see G1 figures as having compromised articulation in the name of vehicle accuracy and most combiners have always had 1-2 compromised modes.
