    Am I the only one expecting that if/when they ever get around to doing a proper Nightbeat, they'll also redeco that one into Minerva? And then you'll have two Minervas with tradeoffs, one is more anime-accurately-proportioned but has no Headmaster, while the other one has the Headmaster but has Nightbeat/the toy's proportions.

    I just went to a few local Walgreen stores today and they don’t have any Transformers toys at all, how they will get Legacy Minerva on the shelves is beyond me.

    The 84-87 guys didn't travel through the portal, it's their home universe so they're already there.

    Except Breakdown, he went through it and lost his licensed alt mode.

    Obviously.

    It\'s worth pointing out that at the end of master force Minerva and the other headmaster juniors as well as God Ginrai are all actual self-contained traditional Transformers without human partners anymore. So technically this is just Minerva as we last saw her (i.e. NOT a headmaster) and they don\'t have to do any further explanation.

    She never transforms again, though, so she might have still been a Headmaster just now like Chromedome and the rest (i.e. small robot without the gooey organic partner center).

    Jesus christ, I hope not. We've already dealt with the fallout of one character getting gender-swapped in that capsule program, imagine what would happen when it's done to a character more people actually care about.

    Just asking;)  so don't get your knickers in a bunch. Minerva's JTF incarnation including those shoulder pylon/pauldrons are like her trademark look the way Arcee's Leia buns and backpacks are. Her vehicle mode is for all intent and purposes is a Porsche 959.

    So why no outcry with her CURRENT vehicle mode which is, is like a , well I don't know what to call it!:drunk  Heck, even Elita-1's vehicle mode should look more like Speedia Blurr or something no?

    In that other thread, it's like an energon bunny repeated x infinity on getting the wrong Italian car part.:confused2

    Mmm, to be fair, that other guy was part of a team all about fancy cars. Idk why people aren't freaking out tho. Maybe the crazies haven't awakened yet.

    You might think I make it a big deal, well not really but the sauce for the goose should be the same with the gander. In G1 S#2 and #3, the most we saw, with the exception of their origin story and Masquerade, Bd and the rest, we barely saw them individually. In Masterforce, we see Minerva more than once as a Porsche 959. And now she is a Cybertronian (?) 1st Responder/Repair vehicle.

    AAAAAAAAAA And I CANNOT FORGIVE :mad: the scrimping of paint apps on her headlights when the images in the 1st page has them painted ;)  !

    The release date was 10/27 if you were a Pulse Premium member and were watching for drops after the livestream event!
