    I skipped Crosshairs and want to see all three of them done together, if not in a set then in the same line. However, I want them as Titan masters to match the other 87 targetmasters done in the TR line.
    Speaking of ideas for a 3-pack, I'd love one with the Omnibots someday.

    Well you’re in luck there my friend!

    Punch/Counterpunch is getting a rerelease soon in a lighter colour scheme, along with the Titans Return / Takara Legends versions of the original 7 Headmaster Autobots & Decepticons in G1 style packaging (I think they’re Walmart exclusives?)

    Personally I’d love it if Punch/Counterpunch now had a remolded ‘Rebirth’ style head, but alas I don’t think there’s room in the budget for that.

    Huh I heard about the head masters getting the re release but not P/CP is there a thread for it? If thats the case then pointblank would be fine. I'm just not spending 100 dollars on a potp mold.

    Hah that’s a great line!
    I like this thread in general. It’s low drama mostly because of the low stakes. Kingdom has all the Beast Wars intensity and SS86 has all the Bayverse tensions. It’s just nice to speculate on a small set of bots and cons without all the intra-fandom stuff.

    Not that anyone cares but here's my :2c: :

    Barricade+POTP redeco
    I will likely be in because of Barricade. It would have to be a truly awful redeco to steer me away, but Pointblank would have me all in.

    Glyph and Tapout
    Meh. Two "G1" (but not really) characters I don't care at all about, in a mold I'll already have 4 of (sort of) by the time they are released. The decos would have to be amazing for me to bite.

    White Ironworks + 4 Micromasters
    Totally fence sitting. Or ramp sitting. I like IW but am not the biggest base-former fan. I much preferred the weaponizers. It will totally depend on the micromasters.

    - Are there rumors for Point Blank?
    - Do we know 4 MicroMasters are in with Astroworks?

    Sure! Here’s the thread in the news section:
    New mysterious Walmart listings for “TRA HEADMASTER AST figures”

    The Punch/Counterpunch talk starts at page 21, but here’s some of the details about him too:

    These are the best rumors we have. Pointblank is one of several possibilities, obviously my preferred one, but we only know its a POTP redeco.

    Astroworks is a boss name. Give him a satellite dish hand instead of a crane and he'd be totally rad.

    My guess for "Astroworks" is he will come with the Micromasters for the 4 bases.

    Drift is cool, but I still think a WFC Drift should be from Springer

    Do we know that? I thought that was just informed speculation.
