Didn't stop Hasbro from including one with Deluxe Hot Shot.

 

More than 10 years ago when budgets were different (and in the case of Universe/Henkei Hot Shot, it was a bit of a messy figure).

 

As long as I get a selects Armada Blurr from Pointblank idc

 

Ok I know you guys probably won’t like this but hear me out… I actually think Skullgrin is a weaponiser, BUT he’s also a Kingdom Slammer retool.

We’ve seen Hasbro can do extensive remolds when they want to, and Slammer is one of the few guys from Kingdom not to get a remold yet (personally I’d have preferred two of Slammer remolded into Rack n’ Ruin, but I could take this I suppose…)

Also…


The Amazon pages have already been pulled, I think someone put these up a few days before they were supposed to…

 

Possible. Hope is an extensive retool at least in that case.

 

No cores in wave 4 but wave 3 has

Soundwave pr
Energon monster
Skullgrin

But I think that's been shaken up a bit so perhaps just Soundwave

 

I would think so yes because there's no NYTF in February next year Nycc seems likely for legacy year 2 unless there's an early 2023 plusecon or hascon

 

This is pretty exciting.

Dead End is my favourite Stunticon, so I can't wait to see him.

Pointblank is one that's been rumoured for a while so great to see confirmation and great that he'll have a Target master. I wonder if it'll be a repaint or a new one? However the most exciting part about Pointblank, is we're one step closer to a Sureshot and man oh man do I want a good Sureshot. I wouldn't be adverse to a more faithful Crosshairs.

Nay my friend, hopefully a faithful new mould that can be reused as Joyride and Ruckus.

Skullgrin has always been a crowd favourite and the Con Pretenders will always be easier to modernise than the Bots, so good to see him next cab off the rank. Super curious as to the scale difference between him and Iguanus. I'd have totally taken a bigger Iguanus. Anyway, curious to see how this goes and if it will be better than the Generations figure or if it will just be a Megatron remould...

 

Amazon DE has them available for pre-order, no images but it says release date is September 30th

Sure are bouncing all over the place on the size of these pretenders.

 

I wonder if breakdown is last so there’s distance between the white lambo looking cars?
What with velocitron clampdown coming out soon.

 

I know it’ll probably just be a standard generic sci-fi tank thing, but I’d kinda love if Skullgrin’s vehicle mode was an homage to the old Voltron Skull Tank.  

 

This means we could potentially get a Leader Bludgeon...

 

...I don't know what you expect.... Targetmasters aren't Mini-Cons.

Targetmasters are G1.

 

If its actually 9/30 that feels like it would be extremely quick. I mean I hope its true.

If we got a Core and a Deluxe Skullgrin... would they just bundle together at some point and call it a Voyager?

 

i think the preliminary date we got for wave 3 was october so it could happen.

 

I mean, Eject can still interact with Blaster, because Blaster has a working tape door, which he needs to have if you want to sell a bunch of other smaller tape guys. A Targetmaster is a gun. You can peg a gun into a fist easy.

But what is Starscream going to do with a tiny race car? That tiny race car isn't a tape which goes inside him or a gun he can hold. It's just a tiny race car. And it's not like Starscream even has spring-loaded launching missiles or anything for Swindle to activate. So it'd just be a tiny race car which doesn't interact at all.

 

Even if they don't interact, I'd be happy with them. But I can think of some ways that really aren't that complicated.

I sincerely hope Siege-style isn't any more counted as "full". So underwhelming if that's the case.

NGL, I still hope Commander Thunderwing happens. But I'm a dork.

 

They'd better!

Inb4 the Energon Monsters are all just weaponizer retools cast completely in clear plastic.
