    More Transformers being Goldner\'d into oblivion. $80 Rodimus? Not a chance of me buying that.

    Hasbro will probably add a lighting or sound gimmick. They always think those add $20 to the retail price of any toy.

    Studio Series 86 Springer would be amazing. He could come with a copy of Windcharger's lifeless body.

    I’d just like to see redos of the classic combiners in Titan size.

    My bet is that Rodimus isn't any taller than Kingdom Ultra Magnus but he can be "Shockwave'd" up with a bunch of removable crazy crap, maybe borrowing from the Energon Rodimus design, or even a bunch more Hot Rod accessories like a fishing rod, a Daniel, and a Firebolt. The Sky Lynx base mode wasn't G1 either, and that turned out really well!

    Seems like I\'m in the minority when it comes to not being a big fan of a Commander class Rodimus. 

    I\'m all for him coming with a trailer that becomes his turret...gun...whatever, but I felt the POTP figure was too big. For this thing to be even bigger than that...I\'m hoping a lot of the price point is accessories to be honest.

    Hoping its just a re-paint... Or a 'Beast Wars' character... at least I can be spared the aggrevation of hunting down an exclusive.

    well this isn’t going to be that big. He’ll be as tall as optimus and Galvatron meaning he will be like studio series hot rod where his extra budget will go to articulation and zero hallowness and his trailer piece will probably have a ton of gimmicks and such to accommodate the price point

    The most interesting thing about this if you've not been under a rock for the past couple of months is the mention of T-Wrecks being a Target exclusive along with a Target exclusive WFC Kingdom four-pack. Interestingly we've already seen T-Wreck's head accidentally make its way to the public on a few BW Megatron figures. :lol  So BW Megs gets the new animation style head and T-Wrecks gets the toy accurate head.

    And for those interested that haven't heard yet... according to the resident reliable leaker, Rodimus Prime himself will be around voyager size and most probably higher-end engineering just like SS Hot Rod, the trailer will be more deck out than Optimus' was and there will be a bunch of extra accessories. Also, apparently, Rodimus will also be able to function in vehicle mode without his trailer and still look like he has a complete alt mode.

    It's stated as T-Wrecks right on the leaked page... so, yeah, BW retool from BW Megatron.

    Right. And he doesn’t HAVE to be the same size as Optimus. He could be a little taller than Prime and a little shorter than Magnus. Something like this.

    Really looking forward to that Rodimus Prime! Going to be great to finally replace that KO MP Hotrod that's currently on my G1 Season 3 Autobot Shelf posing as Rodimus Prime! :lol 

    And that Titan Class Ark is definitely getting worked above/below my G1 Season 1 Autobot Shelf! Super excited!!!!:D

    I don't have interest in T-Wrecks, or Shadow Panther, as far as Kingdom BW goes. But I'm very impressed with Airazor and Dinobot so far and I'll be happy to get the Skywarp eagle and Grimlock dino from the Amazon sets!

    Was hoping for the mutant battle mask too that could become bat ears or something wacky when opened, look goofy yet appealing to me back in the day.

    And knowing my luck, the target 4 pack includes buzzsaw. And 3 figures I already have or don\'t care about but I still have to drive to target every week to get my bird. ;)  I would be pretty cool with a 4 pack that had core class skywarp and thundercracker.

    Just thought about it. There would be 4 fossilizers out about that time. I\'m not interested, but I know several of y\'all would be.

    I just want to see Blaster and Preceptor and the Deluxe Insecticons, and Blitzwing and Octane, and Sandstorm and Broadside, and redo all the Combiners, and Metroplex Trypticon and Fortress Maximus... Basically just redo everything that hasn't been done from Siege onward because that's when the toys started getting awesome

    Commander Rodimus is actually a core sized Rodimus with enough extra engineering and parts to make it worthwhile. It's a 12,814 step trailer with 74 blast effects, a Kremzeek recolored in salmon pink, plus the eyes of Metroplex. All inside a Pinhead Hellraiser puzzle box.
