    The MOST offensive thing about your post is your consistent and frankly disrespectful misspelling of the name of the greatest of all combiners . . .

    Clean it up, son!!!

    I know. What an odd way of spelling Computron.

    I want an MP Megatron that transforms into a tank, not some dumbass gun.

    We were so close to getting a G2 MP Megs from Fans Hobby, but their G2 Optimus didn't sell to they scrapped it.

    We are getting a Armada Megs from them, so for me it's a pretty good alternative. And who knows, maybe one or more of them are insane and can find a way to get a G2 Megatron retool out of him.
    I've seen crazier retools.

    YES. Been wanting that for years.
    And along with that, I want a Soundwave that transforms into an early-80s military armored communications vehicle, with Rumble and Frenzy as military motorcycles that stow in the back.

    That’s a pretty fresh and neat way to do the minions. I’d buy that for sure.

    I violently agree. That’s why I’m eagerly awaiting this MoFo: B3008694-85A9-4F8F-BDEB-2C8545977AD5.jpeg Sure, he’s very stylized. But the finish appears premium, and there are enough G1 elements to satisfy what I’m looking for.

    That's a dumb reason to cancel a G2 Megatron. G2 Optimus is basically the same as G1 Optimus with a different color trailer so I can see a lot of people skipping it. G2 Megatron is a whole different beast.

    The G2 Optimus was the G2 Laser Optimus.

    I'm sure their mindset was "Well if our simple G2 repaint of Scouge didn't sell, we don't want to risk an entirely new mold on G2".
    So the crazy-ass retool option would probably be the best bet unless another company try's a G2 Megs, although it probably wouldn't be as fun as a FH version.

    Ah that makes a lot more sense. Shame, that was a really nice looking Laser Prime.

    I think that the reason they gave was “market going in a different direction” I believe, at least I’m sure it was along those lines on one of their posts for their Armada Megatron. I have no real love for G2 so no skin off of my back but I completely understand why there’s annoyance and sadness about it considering they already went half the way with putting out G2 Prime.

    Yep, I too have been keeping an eye on that one. As good as it looks, I don’t mind that it’s not exactly circa-1984. I’m cool with the stylization.

    I'm sure it'd be a super-unpopular opinion, but because I have no attachment to G2, I'd love to re-deco that Gunfighter figure into Soundwave. I've been wanting a reason to buy Archenemy just because the toy looks sweet, but a G1-inspired custom might fit the bill. If my wife's Photoshop program hadn't just crashed and burned, I might try to digi-bash it for proof of concept.

    I've never been impressed with Artfire's look in the first place. I mean, he's just Inferno in a wifebeater, so blech.
