    Very glad to hear non-G1 stuff is selling well. That means more non-G1 stuff in the future which means more money I can save to use for other toylines I collect. But also glad others are able to get characters they've been wanting for years.

    Also glad to hear the yellowing problem is being looked at. A few of my figures were affected and I hope new ones will avoid it.

    Funny because that's a jab at what a Geewunner told me after I said that the Kingdom BW figures were selling well.

    (Which they are).

    Because Walmart chose to purchase the WFC Netflix line as exclusives for their stores and Earth Mode Soundwave was part of that assortment.

    Should’ve asked if we’re eventually gonna get Selects G2 Starscream to go with Megatron & Ramjet

    And we can all assume the same things gonna happen with the Velocitron line they're getting in the future.

    Well they're characters from the other universes given a modern G1 aesthetic, that way all the Generations figures fit in well with each other even if they're from different continuities. They're still at their core non-G1 rep.

    Nice to hear that the non-G1 stuff is doing better than the actual G1 stuff. Tells you all you need to know.

    Seems extremely dumb to make 2 of the most desirable molds ever produced for Classics exclusive to a store when everything else was just repaints. That's clearly money left on the table.

    It's pretty clear if you visit retail regularly what sells fast and what doesn't, but as long as they produce good looking figures it's fine. But obviously non-G1 isn't outselling G1 and it won't, but if you want to get hyperbolic have at it.

    Yeah, that's true. But what I had in mind was drastic aesthetic experimentation akin to the leap from G2 to Beast Wars or from Cybertron to Bayverse.

    Machine Wars would be welcome indeed.

    By the way, I really hope the next Fembot mould is Windblade.

    In fact, is kinda weird that we haven't seen Windblade in a while.

    Glad to have it confirmed ROTB SS stuff is scheduled for next year (like leakers have said). Also fantastic that non-G1 stuff is doing great.
    here are some more questions that were asked and also a more detailed answer about them knowing about figures yellowing.

    Also they talked about Transmetals!

    Indeed, here's hoping they (my childhood tf show) get into Legacy...
