That would explain TR Galvatron's Jet mode...but I really disappointed with that mold. So we may have already missed our chance at SG Megatron.

 

Is it possibly a peg for the effects pieces we've been seeing in this line?

 

I Truely do wish they had kept titan master ports and seating compatibility in this line that would have been great

 

HOUND definitely has seating for Titan Masters or larger.

 

I don’t really wish for repaints. I hope for original molds of things I want.

I all I really really want here is to see Sunny and Swipe together in a line and designed at the same time to go together. (Since masterpiece and third party couldn’t provide)
To see what Megatron goes with this downscaled MP10 (it isn’t really that but man it’s similar to me)
And a look at the Tetrajets now!! Lol

 

Well, now that you mention it...A Autotrooper would be kinda neat to see as a troop builder.

...I'm half joking.

 

Go get the Iron Factory Racing Bros set. They're amazing.

 

Nope! The siege effects piece pegs are larger than the titan/prime master foot pegs. Fortunately Cog has a siege peg right on his shoulder protrusion, so if you see a clear shot of him with his head transformed (which is just achieved by rotating it 180 degrees) you can compare the pegs as they wind up practically next to each other. The one on the back of his head is definitely too small to pop a siege effect on. It appears to be a titan master foot peg. If it's not a foot peg then it's detailing that looks like a foot peg, which strikes me as incredibly cruel.

I'll see if I can find an image that shows this clearly. I'm pretty sure one exists in TFW's coverage, I just have to dig it up again.

Edit: Yep. Good ol TFW. I circled regular 5mm ports/pegs in cyan, siege pegs (3mm?) in green and the peg that seems to be a titan master peg in red.

 

Yeah they can fit but do they sit in there

 

Tbh kinda surprised we haven’t gotten any autotroopers or vehicons in generations easy money

 

I think it's just misc detailing.

 

Same that'd be nice for the autobots to have an army builder

 

I'm looking forward to to the Battlemasters.

 

Same since we're getting firedrive & blowpipe to go with tr hotrod & triggerhappy. I'd be cool if they did unicron trilogy minicon homages

 

I'd love to see army builders of that caliber in Generations.

How would they do those though? Scale is a thing, and we know that Minicons are shorter than humans, which equates to roughly half of the size of Micromasters. So the "homage" wouldn't be the actual Minicon characters as Minicons, right? Because they don't seem to be doing homages, but straight up interpretations of each character with original gimmicks, so the Minicons would necessarily have to be Minicons... where would figures half the size of Micromasters fit?

 

I admit I'm mostly glad we have targrtmasters that just have to be target masters rather than also being triple changers or pretenders. Even the best Titan master vehicles had really kibbly weapon modes and the prime master shells were clunky as weapons . Both of the ones they've revealed look great .

 

I really want that, but I figure it's not happening any time soon, with so few spots for unique molds Hasbro would prefer to spend the money on actual characters like Sideswipe and Hound and such. So I'm just gonna buy TFP Vehicons off ebay. Still an excellent mold.

 

Well, this is kind of a fun exercise while there really isn't much to speculate about although I might try to keep it within the realm of speculation.

Sideswipe - Red Alert, Barricade

Hound - Crankcase, Swindle

Chromia - Flamewar

Ironhide - Ratchet, Snowcat

Cog - Vehicon trooper (remolded torso)

Optimus Prime - Nemesis Prime, Grimlock, Toxitron

Ultra Magnus - Ginrai/Powermaster Prime, Thunderclash, Star Convoy

 

Optimus: SG Optimus, Nemesis Prime, Toxitron

Hound: Ironfist, Detritus

Ultra Magnus: Delta Magnus, Thunderclash

Sideswipe: G2 Sideswipe, SG Sideswipe, Armada Wheeljack

Roadhandler: Gunrunner

BigShot: Gunlift

Flak: Powerbomb

Stakeout: Holi(white deco)

Chromia: No existing characters. It might be fun to see an original character, but I can't think of any that I'd want this mold reused for.

Cog: Same as Chromia

Swindler: Same as Chromia

Read Hot: Same as Chromia

 

There's one extremely low-hanging fruit that you missed.

A Sixgun repaint of Cog. A repaint at least is an absolute must.
