Surely the fact that they all have Meh-Tech weapons means they'll get a western release?

Not necessarily. Having mechtech weps is Hasbro's thing with RiD Voyagers. But Hasbro's releasing Asian exclusives in the Generations line, so there's unfortunately a possibility that these will also be Asian exclusive.

Remember, these aren't Japanese toys(TakaraTomy's domain)

Well they'd be bloody stupid not to. If they don't get a western release then Hasbro's head of marketing should be sacked!

You're talking about a company that's flooding the shelves with bumblebees. Far more than kids will buy. I don't think being smart is high on their priorities right now.

That Thundertron is gonna get about 50 repaints!

More useless mechtech weapons. Why can't they make them transformable and lock into place.

THE BUMBLEBEE SACRIFICES WORKED!

Skyquake will be mine.

I hope those missiles on Magnus' forearms can attach to his shoulders a la G1
Something tells me that Thundertron is going to appear in the show, seeing as he is a massively obscure character that otherwise is unnecessary for the Prime line. I hope Magnus appears as well seeing as according to his cyberverse bio he sounds like the leader of the Wreckers

By that logic Deadend should appear too. Which would be cool.

the missles are snap on so if theres a peg or something on the shoulder they can go there

Don't get me wrong, Thundertron's massively cool and everything, but what's with that leg? It's a peg-leg in robot mode, but from where I see, it's a regular leg in lion mode! How does that make sense?

His right rear leg is his peg leg. Left rear leg is his left bot leg.

Anyhow....I'm all about Thundertron. I think his alt mode might be a little weak in the poseability department but thems the breaks i guess. Typical beast wars stuff really. I'm just happy to get a non vehicle transformer again. Plus an obscure one too boot. Bot mode is pretty cool and the colours are great. The Star Seeker faction symbol is a pretty exciting feature i must say. I love me some sub-groups.

Ultra Magnus raised a brow as well.
