I'm never wrong.

Except when I am.

But then I just edit posts and make Va'al wrong.

So this happens to be the first thread you come here on vacation just to approve it?


You part of this #Braingate conspiracy perhaps?

In IDW, Rodimus is on the prosecuting side at Brainstorm's trial...

I think I may know how this happened.

See, it appears that Brainstorm wasn't always intended as a Walgreens exclusive.
Check the numbers above his UPC barcode. That's his own unique product number, followed by the assortment number for the general retail Titans Return Deluxes (B7762). How do I know that? The same number also appears on the packaging for all the other general retail Deluxes, such as Hardhead (wave 1), Chromedome and Highbrow (both wave 2). See the following comparison:


Now some of you may ask, what about the Combiner Wars "May Mayhem" exclusives? How did they handle it?
Here's last year's Quickslinger and Brake-Neck, both of which only had a product code number but no assortment number. The general retail Deluxes all had the same assortment number (B0974), such as Rook (wave 3), Sunstreaker (wave 4) and Trailbreaker (wave 6).


And because those all came in English-only packaging with comic books, here's a comparison for the multilingual packaging format as well, featuring this year's "May Mayhem" exclusive Groove (no assortment number) compared to general retail wave 1's Alpha Bravo and Dragstrip (both also sporting the assortment number B0974):


So yes, it is unusual that an exclusive sports a general retail assortment number, which reeks of a change in plans very late in the process.

The last time this happened was Age of Extinction One-Step Changer Stinger, sporting the general retail One-Step Changer assortment number (A6151), as did wave 1's Optimus Prime, wave 2's Crosshairs and the final wave's Prowl.


Stinger was officially supposed to be a Walmart exclusive, like all other AOE Stinger figures, but he was actually found at multiple Target stores, complete with the "Only at Walmart" sticker.

So long story short: Making an intended general retail release an exclusive at the last moment is very likely to screw up logistics.

This plot was clearly concocted by the Illuminati. They are taking over the world. G.B Blackrock is also a member of this secretive group. He runs Blackrock Microsystems, obviously. But the Illuminati are having Blackrock Microsystems create............Mind-control chips! This is so they can easily make the human race bow to their will. However, they have a different plan for the fans of the ever so popular Transformers brand. They believe us to be simple-minded beings, not understanding why we would devote ourselves to kids toy. What do Transformers fans have an extreme hatred for? Wonky distribution! What else do they hate? G1 teams not having all of their members! So by combining these two in the form of Brainstorm the Illuminati believe they can control us. AND to further their control they make false promises in the form of giving the Titanmasters full bodies!

Now clearly we can tell Hasbro has been infiltrated by none other than the Illuminati spy Veronica. But what about the second Veronica you ask? She IS Arcana. He offed the real Veronica to masquerade as her to give us these clues. But the other spies in Hasbro found out so Arcana has been offed as well! That is why Brainstorm's head is now named Teslor. The Illuminati have underestimated us. We have put together the clues. We are humanity's last hope.

But wait..... There is another element. The Illuminati have made contact with our new overlords. They are paving the way for them. They will arrive in bright, terribly non-photogenic Sentinel Primes! Who you may ask? Well it's none other than the...........


But that's just a Theory, a Game Braingate Theory.

Of course he did, that's what he does, people are having fun? He's gotta swoop in with his facts and **** and ruin all the goodness.
