    Called it months ago. Just need the Wheelie => Dion now. I'd say they'd have a box set going but Ariel/Elita One would have to be a voyager or a head to fit the current pattern.

    Because Crosshairs really doesnt have much chance of getting a unique mold and this would be a cheap way of hasbro to do him since the mold resembles him.
    I really want a Crosshairs toy, it's a great character. But looking at the colours its definitely orion. Pity, but i hope they still give us a crosshairs in Titans Return, maybe Takara will go the extra mile.

    G1 Crosshairs windscreen is white, so I'm saying that is Orion Pax!

    Crosshairs sounds ambitious. It looks more like Hasbro chose to stick with their mainstay leader.

    I\'m guessing Orion Pax. If it is Crosshairs, at least make a Pointblank, Grotusque, Repugnus, and Sureshot. I mean Hasbro, you already made like all of the main Headmaster characters but you\'re only missing the four mentioned above. Please make Pointblank, Grotusque, and Sureshot if this is Crosshairs. AND PLEASEĀ for the sake of Primus and his spark make another Repugnus as well. Having him just as a headmaster doesn\'t feel right.

    On one side it's a good mold and an awesome homage to the ehobby figure. On the other, the T30 Orion Pax is its own unique mold and a fantastic figure that ticks all the Orion Paz boxes already.

    Well, looks like I took to long again. Working on just this figure right now. Also Digibashed some pics of the mold as cross heirs as well. All with different heads.

    I was so hoping this would happen. That's got to be Orion Pax. I'm looking forward to it.

    Except for the "G1-accurate" box, so this still serves a purpose.

    Okay, the Headmaster isn't G1-accurate but other than that, it's a lot more G1-accurate than the older Generations one.

    I\'m hoping the mold gets used as crosshairs, but this doesn\'t look much like crosshairs to me, more like Pax.

    Almost definitely Orion Pax... which, while not unwelcome, is a pretty boring choice. Would rather have had Crosshairs.

    Oh well. I'll still get it. I may be in the minority, but I really like this mold. It's fun, solid, and does some clever things with its transformation.

    Looks like Orion Pax, possibly with some cues from Animated OP. Looks good.

    I don't this is from the Legends line like the front page suggests. Their next release besides Godbomber is in September, if they had any Legends on the floor it would be them. Course theres nothing saying this couldn't also be there, but the next 6 releases just seem more likely. This would come out in November/December if that was the case.

    Pass. It were Crosshairs I would've bought it. The T30 toy is good enough and probably better.

    I'd rather it be Crosshairs to be honest. He's one of the last Targetmaster characters to not have a new toy since G1

    I dunno. I think if it were Crosshairs, you could buy two, and then put Apex from Powermaster OP on one of them, y'know?

    Here's a closer look at that Autobot symbol. Not quite Elite Guard, but close. The badge that surrounds the Autobot symbol makes me think police... and considering IDW Orion Pax was a cop before becoming Prime... I'm almost 100% sure this is going to be Pax and not Crosshairs.

    Also, if it is Pax, there's the possibility this figure might not be a mainline release, he could end up being part of one of those box sets...
