    I don’t care what size a PMOP/Ginrai is, I just want one because it’s a cool design and I can easily justify buying it because he’s technically a different character than my GUOP.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we get PMOP/Ginrai in WFC3 for the novelty of Hasbro wanting to have another definitive G1 Optimus Prime in the trilogy before it ends. After all Earthrise Optimus Prime is pretty much the definitive update to the original G1 Optimus Prime so there's no need to revisit that so having his other design in G1 which is his Powermaster form would be a fitting way to end off the Heavy G1 focused WFC trilogy off of.

    I don’t think they can do better than TR PMOP, especially the Takara version with Godboomber and all the upgrades... I think Winnebago Warrior Rodimus is more likely...especially if Galvatron is coming.

    The previous Rodimus in the last trilogy was just OK. This trilogy is a smaller scale... I could see a smaller version of something like DX9 Carry...

    I strongly disagree. Scale creates arguments amongst fans and I’m not cheerleading that. But scale is immensely fun with the actually toys because characters actually look good together.

    We no longer have wildly varying sizes for the characters that don’t fight together. There’s a uniformity and a level of cohesion when you use scale that’s really appealing.

    Scale has made me comfortable sticking with these versions of the characters as the final versions in my collection. That’s just my take.

    Yup.

    The level of mistransform/missing pieces on that Prime is pretty amazing.

    NO going to lie, I always pictured him as being about that size too.

    Oh Primus no! Don't you remember how ratios work? The current 1/50 chance you find ER Prime at the store multiplied by the 1/10 chance you have of finding toilet paper, means you would only have a 1/500 chance of finding "TP-mus Prime"

    They would probably name it "Trucky Bear" ... because the Charmin bears are red and blue... and the trailer would say "Charming"

    The Omnibots are far past due for release. They would be an amazing commando unit for Earthrise.

    I hope we'll finally see them and the Deluxe Insecticons in the next subline.

    I feel like they COULD be as redecos. They're a category of character I'd expect as head retools and body redecos rather than original molds.

    It's a bit of wait and see what Hasbro does with them if they do them.
    They did a pretty good job with the Powerdashers.
    I do hope they manage to give the Omnibots their "attack modes".

    I can see at least one of the Omnibots being packed with two well known characters like how Aragon was paired with Mirage and Impactor for Siege.

    I think Earthrise would be a great line to get the Omnibots and Deluxe Insecticons out there. The Throttlebots would be another great group to get made too. But I suspect my ideas won't come to fruition because Skywarp, Thundercracker, Ramjet, Dirge, Thrust, the other Battlecharger, Prowl, Bluestreak and Inferno are more likely. Those are easy repaints and slight remolds that can be done. And the funny thing is that we want them done even though we complain about the laziness of repaints and slight remolds. If it could be fit into the line somehow I still say the Omnibots and Deluxe Insecticons would be awesome.

    As you mentioned the 3 pack I wonder if they will do one that has Runamuck in it seeing as he won the vote this time just like Mirage and Impactor did?

    That's entirely possible. It could also include characters that are ripe to give us legacy repaints too. Such as Paradron Medic/Lifeline from Arcee for example.
