    Wow your right, based on the two engines and battling gun. One of my favorite planes, a durable beast.

    I wouldn't be surprised is that's what the Bumblebee movie toy line consists of.

    It would be awesome if they could sneak a few 10th anniversary style figures into the mainline. Jazz needs a new deluxe bad and this is the only time I could see it happening.

    Yeah if we could finally get a Leader Class Blackout, that'd be great.

    Still waiting on a toy of the 'Submarine Transformer' though at the moment Voyager Nitro, Leader or Voyager Megatron and Leader Dragonstorm are likely to be my only purchases.

    Always wanted a leader class Blackout... but given they did not do so when we had 'Grinder' in TF;ROTF - i cant see them bringing out Blackout. Even if a '10th anniversary' line-up they would be more likely do to have Barricade as a remold/retool/repaint of Ultimate Bumblebee and Starscream as a slight update to his previous Leader class version.

    If we did get a 10th anniversary line-up of the movie figures, then we'd need a better Leader class Megatron - speaking of which, the poster for TF;TLK teases his old form in the glyphs so perhaps we'll see it in this line-up somehow.

    Well damn, that's sexy.

    I guess? I mean, he's based off a concept by Nizzi from 2009 that looks nothing like Lugnut, only with a Shockwave head on him, and some other additions that make him look less like Lugnut.

    ...aaand it just hit me that the joke is that most movie bots don't look like their namesakes.

    bruh

    I think you might be overreacting. Or making baseless assumptions. Or both.

    He does look like he's got A-10 engines on his shoulders, and cognitive bias made me think that was a GAU-8 Avenger on his arm, but those engines are present on the KSI Boss model too, so they're probably just leftovers, and the arm cannon looks more like it's made from a jet engine than the A-10's BRRRRTer. That, and the tailfins really don't look like the Thunderbolt's tailfins.

    But I REALLY hope I'm wrong, as I think the A-10 Thunderbolt would be perfect for him. He'd actually look like he fits with the rest of the 'Cons with that alt-mode, despite being a jet. I also really wanna see the A-10 as a TF in the movies, and I've had my doubts of Powerglide showing up, as I'm sure Bay would prefer real world colors, even over a darker, grittier red.

    No, it got bad at one point where people would just post nonsense in blue text, or post something, realize it could get them in trouble, and then go back and recolor the words.

    I don't even know where 'blue text' even became a thing as there's nothing I can find online even establishing it as a thing.

    No, I was being serious. I'm not at all familiar with previous concept art, just looking at this line art we've got.

    The giant tubes on his back reminded me of Lugnut's shoulder turbines and I thought I saw what looks like the tailend of a larger plane hanging off his back.

    So to me, he looked like they were shooting for an adaptation of Lugnut.

    EDIT: I apologize for the insult I hurled @Applejacktimus, as I didn't realize his chill pill comment was directed at another user whom I had set to Ignore. I've since removed it.

    Oh, nice. Glad he is indeed a Voyager. This will definitely be a purchase. Really only issue I have with him is that he has a plane tail hanging off his back, but I can forgive that considering the rest of the figure looks really good.

    Also, if this "Mission to Cybertron/Glyph Decoder" turns out to be a subline like NEST as people are speculating, I'll be super happy. More figures the better. I feel that's what the movie toy lines have been missing recently.

    EDIT: And having a toy of Nizzi's KSI Boss is a dream come true. One of the sexiest robot designs I've seen.

    The "asshole" comment is a little aggressive Hybrid, especially because he was just discussing your theory, not tossing aspersions on you.

    Unless... Did you think the "chill pill" thing was aimed at you because you have Burnout on mute?

    ...Well then.

    I've never seen any of that, just it being used properly and innocently. But then there's the "NOBODY FUCKING DOES THIS" part, which is entirely untrue.


    Lugnut has shoulder engines? I don't remember that. I guess he's stocky enough for him to have Lugnut's bulk, though. I guess we can't all see the same shape in a cloud.


    But what did I do to warrant being called an asshole?

    EDIT: Does this have anything to do with it?

    Yup. That's exactly what happened, in which case I apologize to @Applejacktimus and will edit my comment to reflect that.

    We've found the biggest flaw in the new ignore system.

    In those Toys R Us inventory leaks EX DELUXE (exclusive Deluxe class) were listed, can't remember EX VOYAGER.

    It's fine, it was a misunderstanding.

    Also, I just realized that the RTS Lugnut has those big shoulder engines you mentioned. Such a great mold, I wish I owned it...
