    It's not often that Hasbro can get me to be this surprised....totally unexpected....I'm in!

    Maybe a 3rd party will make an add on chest piece to replicate the shuttle cockpit / nosecone.

    Man, they are quite devoted to the theme here. I wonder if they might reach a point where they might homage Universe 2.0 Countdown.

    First Black Convoy and now Galaxy Shuttle? They're really gunning for the Japanese characters for these Walmart releases!

    Beyond my excitement for actual Galaxy Shuttle representation, he's going to pair extremely well with the Botropolis Rescue set too. Love how they even made the extra cart bit homage Countdown's colors already!

    Wait, you might be on to something here. Where is Overcharge? Hold on, we referring to the blitzwing redeco or the taxi guy?

    I wonder how Hasbro will implement Omega Sentinel in terms of deco. The G1 deco is a bit bland and muted. I'd prefer going full Countdown in terms of deco, but I could see that being a bit much (white arms/shuttle, blue tank/chest, lots of grey). Maybe split the difference and go Energon Omega Sentinel? Just red highlights, but more varied colors overall? Overall, my preference would be the choices of red, white and blue match Sky Lynx, Botropolis, and presumably Galaxy Shuttle

    I would assume the black one acts as his original gun, with the fin. No clue why the others are bright safety cap orange though

    Because Galaxy Shuttle is a nobody. In fact he is less than a nobody

    One is to match the color of his original toy’s blaster, and I’m guessing the red ones plus the launch pad are to match the Galactic Odyssey Micromaster Rocket base.

    He even has a helipad Paint app on the launch pad that kind of looks like the sticker that was on the G1 Rocket Base.

    Because they were testing the waters on Japanese original characters. Granted i feel like they should have known they would sell. Testing aside it could also be because it isn't quite a commander or titan class either.
