    There's a listing for SS ROTB Core Class Optimus Primal ? Is that separate from the SS ROTB Leader Class Optimus Primal?

    On another note, supposedly there will be SS pre-orders going up this Tuesday May 22nd 2023, anyone know if that will include the SS ROTB voyager Optimus Prime spoken of in the podcast? Its a Buzzworthy Target exclusive so does that mean we have to book it to Target dot com asap before it sells out instantly?

    To add to that:
    - Undertow
    - SG Seaspray (though that's really movie Storm Surge's deco)
    - If they wanted to - retool him into G2 Manta Ray
    - G2 Seaspray (they could even do a mix of dark blue and the purple for some variety)
    - A Brand new Character (we need more Aquatic Transformers)

    He might primarily be the marketing guy, but I believe that both Evan and Mark have referenced him as having worked on specific figures in some capacity, so he might wear more than one hat on the team.

    Since Hasbro is listening, I really hope for v2 RotB Scourge, final model looks so much better than early render. Also Galaxy Force Master Megatron, Superlink Galvatron and TFA Megatron are something I would love to see in future lines.

    And again, affirmation that they read the forums and take in fan feedback. This is a great interview to cite when others say Hasbro doesn't.

    Hopefully, they'd have an updated Pretender gimmick by then. Possibly as a new Weaponizer iteration.

    AGE OF EXTINCTION DINOBOTS BETTER BE NEXT IN STUDIO SERIES.
    Especially if they're reissuing Grimlock

    I think it would be great if they did Commander Class or Titan Class AOE/TLK Legendary Warriors / Dinobots as those would be better quality and those price points would allow for more size, engineering etc.

    Even though they appear to be reissueing the ss leader, Commander or higher really would be a better price point and even if we only got one every other year, thats still more than what we are currently getting or have been getting

    That should shut up the naysayers who would always try to shut me down when I lobbied for characters like Tarn who I have yet to spot at any retail store and stays selling out on Hasbro Pulse...

    That said, I'm sure those who bought Tarn would love the rest of the DJD team, so please bring us Vos, Tesarus, Helex, Kaon, Nickel and even The Pet.

    Side Note: Where on IG should our voices been heard? I could still use an updated Straxus, Slipstream, The Fallen (Dreamwave), Thunderclash and dozens other other G1 Marvel and IDW figures.

    I've got some requests if anyone is listening: I haven't bought a single new SS figure since Lazerbee. How about you actually make some new movie figures besides the subpar ones you have to crap out for marketing reasons. Core class BB? That's it? What an embarrassment. I suppose it would be also unreasonable for TF1 game drones too?

    Buzzworthy BB and Target exclusives should be axed at this point. You are making new molds exclusive to a single store that cannot keep its toys in stock but would rather sell Satan shirts. When are Hatchet and Hound coming out by the way?

    Not the best Podcast, I wouldn't care to listen to these guys normally. I was surprised by this.

    You all know I'm not into the movie crap, but I definitely don't get the point of Studio Series if it is just the same level of inaccuracy you were getting with the original movie lines. They need to wait to do the SS versions of the new characters, meanwhile doing them in the "mainline." 2 Voyager Rhinoxes coming out at the same time is stupid in and of itself, and that's just one example.
