    Seeing the G1 version side-by-side with the new one convinces me they could easily remold a nice earth mode for her.
    The general shape is clearly there. She'd just end up with rounder legs.
    Only problem is it wouldn't have much potential for straight recolors.
    They could maybe make up a new SG color scheme for her, but not much else comes to mind.

    I feel Hasbro will make a more accurate and better earth mode version of Minerva eventually, this one was the easy repaint/remold of Elita-1. Besides SG colors, they could do a "Nightbeat Minelba" like what CM Corp did

    Right, I forgot she also got that color scheme.

    It's a bit of a wierd situation with both Elita-1 and Minerva.
    The robot mode is a mix of both characters and the alt mode doesn't really fit either of them either.
    Almost like a double pre-mold for more proper future versions of each of them...
    ...if it ever happens.

    I forgot I had Shootah too! If not for the TT paint job a really ugly mold but surprisingly works well in this.

    Happy for all who have gotten her! I caved and used rewards points to pay less than scalper but still above retailer price from overseas, she’s due in December 2nd. Seeing as my area Walgreens never gets these exclusives on shelf and she hasn’t appeared on Walgreens site yet, I hedged my bets. Pulse premium failed me since she was a stealth drop and sold out before most of us knew she went up after the 10/27 premium stream.

    Just ordered my Minerva, as well. Taking advantage of "ship to store" to avoid paying for shipping.

    I was able to get an order in as well, though it took a lot of retries and error messages.

    Edit: shipped!
