    I think a redeco of Power of the Primes Tailgate would work perfectly for TR Trypticon. Color him like the United figure and done.

    Went to a Walmart. This sucker was on the very top shelf, hiding in a voyager packaging box, I pry open the box, and I see a Starscream with a Springer:rolleyes:

    Nope, I'll wait and buy multiple versions of HasTak's inevitable (exclusive?) Omega Sentinels.

    I'm already struggling enough with the idea of spending £140 on a big plastic toy robot! More than one? Not happening! :eek:

    How excited were you when you made the discovery? Great find.

    Hasbro marketing probably didn't want kids confused with the Bumblebee movie out before SIEGE. Crazy right? Some think I'd be crazy to suggest that but they've made weirder decisions before with reasoning that defies logic so I really wouldn't put it past them if that was the actual reason.

    In any case I think a WFC Bumblebee is inevitable at some point and yes I do agree, it is strange he wasn't in SIEGE, especially since SIEGE is a heavy homage the 1st episodes of G1 on Cybertron.

    So I hate to stoke the rumor fires but has anyone that has found Springer out in stores notice if the Starscream that came in the case with him if Screamer did get that new pin for his chest panel? Just wanted to know before I put a pin in him myself

    There is no pin, that one post on Twitter was someone trolling and trying to get likes and retweets. No variant of the seeker mold has a pin in it, this includes thundercracker, Skywarp and redwing as well

    None. My JP Starscream doesn't have a pin too.

    I was pretty hyped. Expected another empty stock of Transformers, but not today :D 

    If I do recall, the Starscream I saw in the box did not have a pin in it. But that might just be the box I found, I can’t speak for all the others.

    There was never a pin, TC, RW, SW dont have pins, a customizer/engineer said that the design itself doesn't support a pin(middle bar frame has no holes, nubs only, holes on chest meant for nubs), that twitter/tumblr thing was a hoax.

    Why not go arm-mounted with it?
