    I get why perceptor and devy wouldn't be made but now we have no chug Blaster to scale with the new soundwave. He's got a lot of demand going for him it just makes no sense to me.

    @Pixelmaster Do you know that Hasbro has plans to do repaints/retools of the SS 86 characters for Selects and exclusives in the future? Like any of Grimlock's G2 repaints for example?

    Don’t know, all I know so far is toy Galvatron and another leader class from said line. It definitely won’t be pee Magnus because he made a bet that if hasbro made one he would drink his own pee...

    @Pixelmaster do you know if we will be getting a new metroplex?

    Man I really hope they just keep the ss86 line going so we get blaster, blitzing and perceptor

    I mean... some people are into that :S

    In terms of leaders, I'd love to see A Nova Prime from Siege Galaxy Prime make its way into the select series. And Stalker from Doubledealer. And Thunderclash from Siege Magnus.

    But, wouldn't be surprized if we get a white repaint of Astrotrain instead.

    Kinda sad about Blaster and Perceptor seeing as they did have a very memorable scene in the movie in which they told Optimus Prime about the Decepticon sneak attack on Autobot city. That could have been a nice two pack or something. Sigh. Maybe when things get back to some kinda normalcy they will give them some shine. Or maybe if we yell loudly enough at these virtual pressers that we want these characters

    I had the judge delayed but I did get Smokescreen, Arcee and snapdragon. Got them much earlier than pulse too.

    Not really, it was a joke from Warden but then the team unironically liked it. They were interested in bundling him along with Unicron but that would mean the price would be 625 bucks, which would render him even even unsellable

    @Pixelmaster I get if this is perhaps a little too in-depth, but what’s the plan for the main Generations (non-Studio Series 86) line going forward? Are we going to see another take on G1, or will the next phase focus on something else?

    Any plans for Dino or Sideways from the live action and I heard from someone on here, not sure if it was you or someone else, is it true that Hasbro won't be doing any AOE or TLK characters? And why was Crankcase, a rerelease of Crowbar?

    Kingdom brought BW when they dumped a chunk of WFC3 to Studio Series is because Hasbro has the confidence that kids who grew up with BW now have the disposable income to buy toys now. I do believe that there will be less of an emphasis (Lenny loves the brand, but he’s not a hardcore Geewunner) on it, but it’ll still stick around since it still makes money.

    Unicron Trilogy isn’t quite ready yet.

    I’d be so excited if they suddenly went full Victory or some other Japan series.
    Imagine a cool updated Road Caesar or Lio-Kaiser
