    Sarcasm gets lost in text lol


    I've been seeing people pick him apart on the tiniest of things but come one. Who would have ever guessed the Q repaint into G1 Wheeljack WITHA NEW HEAD. Repaints are one call, calling a remould is much much harder.

    Yeah he is insisting on that Mirage figure eh? I guess that reveal will be his make or break.

    I expect plenty of other things he told us about to be at Toy Fair as well.

    So, I guess Hasbro isn't going to reveal Mirage? When will he be released, and what the flip is the hold up?

    He'll probably be revealed at Toy Fair in February and I'd guess he'll come out around March/April

    That just doesn't make sense. Why the wait? Hasbro has to know that he would be like one of the most desired chracters. I even saw a Japanese DOTM deluxe prototype ferrari in a blister package on Seibertron.com.

    I forgot that TOYFAIR occurs so soon in the year. So it all makes sense. Why would Hasbro reveal anything post Christmas release when Febuary is pretty much the launch of the new shopping year. I know in Canada all stores stop getting stock in the month of January to do inventory. We never see anything new after Christmas until Febuary.

    No, you saw a Chinese knock-off in faux DOTM packaging with a photoshopped image of Mudflap on the front.

    This and that Legion/Legends class TFP Wheeljack are all the news I need to hear. God this is good to hear. Now the wait begins

    He didn't say. But remember, SOME of these could get cancelled. But more than likely around 95% should make it.

    I'd be happy with the Crowbar, Hatchet, Mirage, Mirage con, and classic Wheeljack only.

    I'd be happy too, but add Weaponized Roadbuster, Armored Mirage, Skywarp and every Prime figure on the list
