I'd still love to see a DOTM leader Megatron. And leader Shockwave would be a dream. But seems like that's just a rumor somebody started last year with no real backing. (Everybody deluge Hasbro with emails asking for those figures!)

Umm... aside from your bias...

The US release of Que, Soundwave, their repaints, the Optimus with trailer we saw in package, hopes of a Dino figure? Maybe they don't matter to you, but they do to many others. You're getting your wish. Snark not needed. :P

Or a good, good sign depending on your point of view ;)


Also, one :p for you.

:D You said it, not me! :APPLAUSE:


Okay, double, well now triple :P :P for you.


Ok, you got me. My bad people. In all fairness, I had every intention of picking up the Deluxe Soundwave if I ever saw him. So on that front, I feel your pain.

no mention of movie related stuff could be a good thing even if you do like them...might be a surprise reveal that Hasbro is going to give everyone who pre-ordered a Prime FE Bulkhead a new Bumblebee repaint as compensation.

I do recall several rumors of a "trilogy" themed toy line that would work similarly to HFTD. I would be shocked if Has/Tak allow all that R&D to go untapped for the host of potential repaints and reissues.

And you speak the truth. I was honestly hoping to see more from the Skyhammer mold specifically. I love that figure!

What exactly does that mean? Is Hasbro going to produce almost only "prime style" transformers from March on? Fall of Cybertron figures will also come for sure, but I hope other "classic style" figures will also come in the generations line... and in voyager size... (I miss more figures in the reveal the shield voyager size style...)

Crap mechtechs in supposedly-deluxe-but-almost-scout-class overproduced figures is what killed DOTM line...
