Yeah I think stargazing + no wheels. Personally hope so but also there’s a lot of other figures that could fit that description.
I'm so glad I'm getting vindicated, you guys dismissed it and moved on but I called it from the start Anyways good job for the most part
I mean, we are apparently getting at least 1 new mold. The only other two I could see having that new mold are Override or Road Rocket. But it seems pretty well agreed upon that Road Rocket will likely be a Prime Arcee Redeco/Retool. I suspect Override to be an Elita Retool. Override has the top of her head sticking out in vehicle mode like Elita. Granted, we don't know if Elita will actually have that, but still. I hope Cosmos will be the new mold if he's what actually happens. I want a good and proper G1 cosmos, tubbiness and all. It will be a bitch to get him if he's exclusive, but I'd just be happy he's getting made. (They would probably also release Pathfinder as a repaint as another kind of exclusive like they did with Ratchet and Ironhide in ER).
Don't get me wrong, I really want Cosmos; as far as G1 goes, he's probably my favorite character, & my most wanted update. So if it is him, I'm definitely all in. I'm going to try and not get my hopes up until we get some confirmation. He better be wide though.
Hmm... now that you mention it, if Minerva is going to be retooled from Elita-1, and Minerva is (presumably going to be) a Headmaster, that'd be an easy way for them to kind of cheat with adding the head for non-Headmaster versions of the mold, where it's left partially exposed in vehicle mode. It could be easier to engineer that way, without as much wasted empty space inside the alt mode without the head. But on the other hand, they could just as easily simulate the head sticking out like they did with SS86 Blurr, so who knows.
This is how I’m feeling right now. I think I said cosmos pretty early on in the hints but I’m not going to get too hyped until one of the leakers confirms it or there’s a leaked listing.
Agree. And unlike Override, nobody's going to be happy if they reimagine Cosmos' transformation. Front of the saucer on the feet, not the chest!
No, if Override doesn't transform at least mostly right (especially with the please understand) we riot
27-year-old boomer post here, but is 'please understand' some new meme or slang or something? This is the second time I've seen it used on here as a noun in the last few days. The first time I wrote it off as a typo/autocorrect but now I'm not sure.
I really don't understand the community's obsession with everything having to be a retool of something else. I saw people saying that Road Rocket is a likely retool of Prime Arcee. Why does he have to be a retool of a character whose only similarity is "It's a motorcycle."? Override doesn't need to be a retool either. They can make new molds for whatever they want.
Normally I'd agree, but i think people are only saying it because this is an exclusive subline, and those rarely get new molds.
They can't make new molds for every single character each of us wants, and as they've shown in the last few years with figures like Siege->Netflix Soundwave,, ER Cliffjumper->Bumblebee and Siege Sideswipe->Gigawatt, they can accomplish way more with retools than they used to. And at least when I talk about wanting retools, I sometimes group them in with partial engineering reuses with all new parts, like ER Wheeljack->Sunstreaker. We don't just mean slap a new head on a vaguely similar body like they used to do in the earlier days of CHUG.
But fairly unlikely for nobody characters in a store-exclusive subline. (Just like Siege Hound —> Selects CDHot Shot and WFC Arcee —> Netflix Elita 1)
