too bad they couldn't come up with an alternate transformation for his legs to de-emphasize the double cockpits in robot mode

 

Hasbro Lenny: "Also Shockwave in his blaster mode so Megatron can use him, as he uses him - Megatron's not a very good friend."

Me: "Um, actually..."

"...I believe the term is self-abuse?"  

 

I’d have to watch the video again, but I thought the question was if we were getting more rare JPN G1 reissues like the dinocassettes and the non-answer was that later in the year TT will be reissuing something. Not that it’d be the dinocassettes. We already got all four of the rare dinocassettes from Hasbro, so that’s unlikely unless TT does a four pack Encore style pack. If they gave them tampos, I’d double dip.

 

"Or could be a form of narcissism?"

"I mean, i can totally see Shockwave making gizmos after his image. You could say... it's quite logical!"

 

"Logic dictates I must refer to the results of this experiment as "MINI-ME"!"

 

So... it\'s over 24 hours later and the missing RED toys still haven\'t gone up on Walmart. Does anyone know of something like this happening before?

 

Uhh... They did go up on Walmart

I used both the Walmart site and the official link on the Transformers facebook page to find the them.




If you meant the other leaked listings why would those be for pre order if they have not been officially revealed

 

According to everyone they tried said Megatron and Soundwave were never available to order. I wouldn’t know as these aren’t for me.

 

So who does the radar dish that comes with Cenutruion belong to? I’ve puzzled out most of it, like a cage for Ravage, Sideswipe’s Jetpack, roller, etc. But not that.

 

Earthrise Trailbreaker more than likely

 

Trailbreaker when they're in the woods listening for Decepticons

 

As others have said, it belongs to Trailbreaker - Pulse has a full list of who each item belongs to in the product description.

 

Username checks out

 

This is what I meant. The listings are there, but they never came in stock. The fact that it's been over a day since they were supposed to go live and they still aren't available is strange. I was wondering if anyone knew if something like this has happened before

 

This might as well have been what would have been revealed at SDCC. Because everything sounds like would could be at SDCC now and nothing too exciting.

 

No not really i mean perhaps a few were Sdcc reveals but I doubt it was everything.

 

Had anybody else been on the fence about purchasing and/or is more excited to be picking up Earthrise Optimus Prime now because of Roller's official availability?  


Although I kept thinking they would repaint/repurpose Earthrise Fasttrack as a possible Generations Selects Roller.

 

We've gotten so spoiled by extensive remolds and spot-on modernizations of vintage designs. Rotorstorm brings me back to the days of the 2008-ish Universe line, where everyone was eager to fill out a cast and would take what they could get. So hey, sure, those Cybertron repaints are Ratbat/Springer/Countdown/Outback/etc., why not....?

 

Hey Hasbro,

Thanks for the Sunbow styled weapons pack, appreciated.

How about one for the toy fans too?

A properly styled and coloured Sideswipe riffle! Sideswipe, G2 Sideswipe and Tigertrack could have all used that!
A red repaint for Red Alert
A Siege Sideswipe launcher with a white missile.
Matching pair of launchers for Wheeljack.
Launchers for Prowl.
Ratchet's launcher thing for Ironhide.
A couple of Zetar's drills, especially if it could be remoulded to have a peg on the back of one of them.
A black Roller for alternate Universe Prime

A 5mm peg Gender changer set and 5mm/3mm adaptors would be useful too.

 

Blaster. Again?
Well, if you missed the SDCC one....and it IS a good price..
so, Blaster, Again!
