You missed my point I was the one thinking it wasn't a retool. But that I'm not sure now because they CAN take &,up/downsize it. With 3D printing. Just cuz it has Bigger parts doesn't necessarily mean it's not an upgrade. Nor does it mean it is.

I have Energon Starscream I haven't pulled it in over 13 years but I know the mold, however I don't have the BB/Starscream set. So I'm not entirely sure what you were saying but arguing with me on that post is pointless because I was stating the fact either way. And just like you, we DO NOT KNOW until we get it hand pics are not proof of shit.

Plus even if it's bigger parts doesn't mean it's not. All I know I was thinking it wasn't now I'm just sure. Nor do I really care I'm still getting it regardless & even if so, Lockdown was a solid figure imo (I picked up the Takara though) it just was too small and too short even that height it shoulda been lankier.

 

I want some Nitro news!

 

I'm out of this argument a few days ago until I buy it at walmart. HOPEFULLY I CAN buy iy there does anyone know when it's being released?  

 

I was not disagreeing with you.

 

The Deluxe Hot Rod on ebay, I think this is the most watchers I've seen for a Transformer toy since ever.

 

Try explaining that to the dozens of people who have already bought and paid for them.

 

If I were to get one of them, I'd like to look at it as $35 CAD because Deluxe figures in Canada are $30 now and the extra $15 as shipping price.

 

Dude, is it really worth that much to you to get a figure two months early for an inflated price when you could save money by just waiting? It's not even that great a base mold and they'll be lining the shelves in a few weeks anyway.

 

I hope I can get my hands on TR Blitzwing, Octane and Overlord before that.

 

Oh   I didn't know if you was or was not, tried to point out that I gave no idea what that 1992 mold was in equivalency towards Energon Starscream lol.. I think I just write too much to make it easy to understand sometimes. But thank you for bringing that to my attention. It's all fun & games here anyway I try not really worry about stuff too much. For alot years I didn't even post anything for years I just read til my gf was like."im signing you up so you can engage since your all a bunch of nerds & you can be nerds together!"   She's a hot bitch that has a real attitude. I actually broke up with on the 5th year dating because I wss sick of her yelling.. this has nothing to do with anything except she got me to start interacting with Transformers fans again.

 

I was looking at pictures of AOE Power Attackers Vehicons and I was thinking. It's wishful thinking, but I wonder if TLK line would be something like the RID Prime line. Hasbro released a limited number of figures, while Takara released lots of figures like Breakdown, Jet Vehicon or Leo Prime.

 

Prime Breakdown wasn't released due to what was officially cited as budget issues or child safety, I forget which.

I own the toy, though, and on both counts it would not be a Hasbro release in any way, shape, or form. Great toy all the same.

 

Leo prime shouldn't be counted really because the mold was created to be thundertron

 

Had a hard time thinking of what other figures there were that Hasbro did not release. I guess what I should have said instead was Unicron.

 

Yea if memory serves the only mainline molds hasbro didn't release for prime, not counting minicons were breakdown and unicron. For altered molds hasbro didn't release there was jet vehicons, Silas breakdown, swerve, smokescreen (knockout mold), wild rider and I think that's it

 

Which is why I think/hope it will be the same for TLK. Hasbro was unable to release some toys, so it's up to Takara.

 

Given the performance of AoE's reduced toyline (read: it didn't do well), this is highly unlikely.
