Wait, is this that Warbot WB-002 we saw pics on the box of back on May 9? Sooner then we think is right!

Warbot = Wreckers.

Well, goodbye life savings...

Fourthed at this point...

WB-002 is Steelcore Heartmaster.

SHUTUP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

remember, iGear are (supposedly) making everything any fan has ever asked for ever. might be a while before we get their LSOTW products.

And that's why I let everything sit unpaid for in my basket (at the original price just in case it goes up later) and don't pay for anything until it's actually in stock. Needless to say, I don't buy from their site often.

I agree with everyone who wants a Broadside thats big. Some really awesome upcoming 3rd party products seem to be a little too off scale. Hexatron is way too big and Hegemon is a tad too big. For Broadside, the plane mode is the wild card because a fighter jet is no where near the size of a carrier. Maybe they could get away with it if they FP goes for a Boing 747 or Airbus instead. If FP Broadside is going to be on the small side (voyager) than I would rather just see a repaint of Armada Tidal Wave with a new head because the size fits perfect.

In the G1 series they played it off by having his plane mode be a sort of large 'carrier plane' or space ship which was huge and could transport many Autobots (through space even) so I'm OK with it being a large fighter jet just based on that.

I remember those episodes. But that large carrier aircraft always had a giant two seater fighter plane style cockpit instead of a more realistic shuttle style window pannel. I know it was toy accurate but looked kind of silly.

With the Tidal Wave repaint idea, all you gotta do is flip up the boats wings and you got a space ship. So it could pass as a triple changer.

I have seen many a valiant try but none of them pull it off. Plus, the Tidelwave mold is 10 years old and no where near the mark for Broadside. It's just to intentionally Franksteinian to work. Would you really settle for a turn of the century cinder block with no knees instead of something new at this point?

I don't want or need it to be huge, just decent-sized is fine for me.
