I'm not a wizard I can't pretend to know what Hasbro is up to I'm just guessing.

The show runners not knowing if the name was available for toys, hasbro not caring enough to notify them, no plans to make a toy at the time so nobody thought it would be a problem, take your pick.

Hasbro has a history of making sure that their cartoons have used names that they can use. For them to not do so would make them look bad.Microraptor wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Why would the show give him a name that Hasbro, the company that created and owns the character, can't Trademark?Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Why is Groundpounder's toy named "Groundbuster"?

Wait wait, so Hasbro saying we'd get an MP Sideswipe but not giving us one was fine, them never giving us the voyager Prime Breakdown (which they designed) is totally cool, and them green lighting all those Michael bay films is no problem, all the piss poor platinums being released this year are totally firgiveable, BUT it's this that makes them look bad, THIS!?!?!?!

The Blizzard Strike OP already has fixed fists and they didn't put something on his shoulders.
I'm definitely waiting for the Warrior version of Bisk and the new weapon Mini-Cons are really cool. I want that black version of Lord Doomitron so bad.

No, I did not. If your main argument is that Hasbro is afraid of looking bad then I feel that isnt much of an argument seeing as how they havent been afraid in the past. Disney made a legal mistake for the avengers blu ray boxset, Hasbro's legal department is not impervious to mistakes either.

Good question. I think it was in the YouTube video from the show floor posted here.
Edit: No, forget that. I muddled something from a review.

Well look at that. I may need to find another warrior with the fix now. Maybe that Power Surge one, but that larger one looks cooler...

Thanks for the welcome, into everything Transformers really. RID is an enjoyable show, the toys I feel are getting better as it goes and the humour element is nice.

Already did, all the Titans Returns stuff looks good, the only one i'm on the fence about getting is Stripes, I'll only get him if they don't release a Steeljaw. Blaster needs a cat.

Wouldnt Battle Core Prime be better for Nova?
This guy looks more like the type to turn into Thunderclash since he has that colour scheme going on.

I actually did repaint my BC Optimus into Nova Prime!
Truth be told, I'm just a big fan of Nova Prime and I think he's severely underrepresented in terms of figures, and I think he's a fun repaint.

That Windblade does look very good. she has a little bit bigger legs and she looks better proportioned and I love it! She is a buy!
And I cannot wait for minicon weapons. So much want!

But hopefully she is less fiddly and a bit more fun to keep in bot mode

Not really. I saw that it was common that there were some bits that just didn't want to stay put in either mode (like the heels) that made the figure a bit fiddly and a bit difficult at times, but is wasn't bad though by any stretch. I still like her, but she's not as fun to transform and try to stand as others

Meh, guess I'm the only one that has no problems with her; I will say that the thigh design on her is total garbage, those little ornamental prongs near her pelvis just trash her poseabillity

I wasn't the biggest fan of Generations Windblade due to issues with her mold. The figure looks nice in robot mode, the jet mode looks good with the exception of the noticeable feet. It's the posability and the issues with her heels that make the toy a bit frustrating to handle.

I stand by the thigh plates being the real enemy of fun everywhere

There are already Reprolabels to turn BC OP into Thunderclash, Nova Prime and Ultra Magnus.
And I think the new Power Surge OP works perfectly as Nova because of his wings. Hopefully TT turns this one into Nova instead of Nemesis.
