    Aside from size preferences being a Titan isn't really going to mess with it being a Titan Master.

    Yeah they could just make Fasttrack or a new body an intermediary between Zarak and Scorponok.

    Just putting it out there, but Black Zarak and Marvel Scorponok were roughly leader-sized (BZ seems to scale with God Ginrai, who is a little taller, even), so why not use the armour-up gimmick to give everyone what they want? It would fit with Siege's play pattern.

    Titan Master Zarak, based on the Headmasters version, or else a rerelease of the TR version with more anime-accurate colours: burgundy arms, yellow torso and head-plug:
    [​IMG][​IMG]

    Fits into Deluxe Zarak, based on the Rebirth version. This headsculpt matches the Titan Master pretty darn well.

    Then, using parts from the Titan-class Scorponok base, we armour-up Zarak into his Marvel/IDW appearance. Doesn't need a Scorpion mode, since he turns into a head, but what he does get are a ton of weapons and armour: clearly he's got the same headsculpt here, the only diffrence is he's pimped out with a purple chestplate, a helmet, guns (which look like PotP Nemesis Prime's shoulder guns, IMO), green shin- and shoulder-guards, and purple claw-gloves.

    Then you can take those parts off, turn him into a head, and plug him into the giant robot scorpion and create the Titan-Class version of Scorponok. Ta-da, everyone wins.

    Both figures you posted are based on previous figures, Skytread was made to scale and switch halves with POTP Battletrap and Crosshairs is a repaint of Siege Ironhide so of course they wont follow Sunbow scale. I'm sure they won't follow the scale 110% with repaints and remolds but with original molds, I'm sure they will do their best, im not asking for a 100% adherence to G1 cartoon scale, only a close match, I dont think others are asking for a perfect match either, just something close. So far Siege has followed scale about 99%, theres no evidence to suggest they will say screw it all now. If you want to disregard the charts going around past S2, you'll have to just go based on whatever scalebwas most consistently used in the cartoon etc.

    Fort and Grand Max have oddly oversized heads though, compared to Metroplex and Omega. Any intermediary like a Fasttrack should be smaller than Cerebros/Grand. Or perhaps Fasttrack can be a weaponizer and only his torso becomes a body for Zarak/head for Scorponok, while the limbs become weapons or radar dishes!

    obviously I completely disagree with you

    my 9 year old is very happy with his MP star Saber ( and 3rd party Victory leo ). Here is a pic of him playing with his toys. In fact every toy here in this pic is a part of his collection

    also I find MP Star Sabers Transformation no more difficult than the current commander class jet Fires transformation. Its quite easy and maybe even more simple than jet Fire even.

    Unrelated to the new commander and new Titan class figures.

    This Reddit post claims to know 9 of 10 of the Micromasters repaints for the value pack.

    Screenshot_2019-07-13-19-59-59-1.png

    Topshot - Gunlift
    Flak - Powerbomb
    Storm cloud - Skyhopper
    Visper - Groundshaker
    Roadhandler - Gunrunner
    Ravage - Howlback
    Laserbeak - Buzzsaw
    Blackjack - Blackheat
    High jump - Ironworks

    I've got my doubts honestly

    Okay, let me rephrase that. They're not meant to be anything buy collector's display pieces. Even though they can be played with and enjoyed by children, they're not optimized for that. Again, I don't want MPs masquerading as Generations figures.

    Also, those pics makes my cold, metallic heart three times bigger <3

    Oh they better fucking not.

    Also, no Stakeout -> Holi = fail

    I hope they release the Constructicons to fit the current Megatron and Soundwave.

    Unless there's a second 10 pack, it's bogus.

    I'm all in on the reflector 3 pack since I've missed the single release. Colors irrelevant.
    Also why wasn't Impactor a decepticon to begin with? I thought that was suppose to be the idea behind the vote was a sort of vs deal. And this depicts impactor early in the war before he defected

    My question is since we have most of the 84 cast will they finish them that also includes 85 and 86?

    No, why would Takara initiated products be shown off at a hasbro panel before Takara shows them off (assuming you are talking about sdcc)

    Why was mainline release potp optimal Optimus not depicted as the king of eukaris? Impactor getting two releases is no different. Main release is marvel based and con release is idw based

    The CW version doesn't fit well and is poorly executed.
