Did anyone ask why a Supreme Transforming Devastator, or why combining individual deluxe and voyagers weren't done???

Voyager Bludgeon sounds like a must-have.
I was hoping to hear confirmation on who the 4th ROTF Leader Class figure will be—guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.

How many Bumblebees were there in the first movie line? How many times has the original G1 Prime mould been re-issued? How many repaints are on the list at the top of this thread?
All Transformers fans buy stuff twice. Different size classes, different colours, whatever.
If Hasbro really wanted to bleed the fans dry, then they'd release all sorts of Devastator stuff. Scout Constructicons, Leader Constructions, G2-homage Orange Constructions, and so on. If their SOLE motivation was to get the consumers to buy many alternate versions, there are many, many ways in which they could've done so (and at minimal cost to themselves).
I know this argument's been done to death many times before, but I still contend that there's no way we could have accurate-looking Constructions with all three modes.
Look how the spindly Demolishor needs to 'fill out' to become the torso; look how Mixmaster's barrel needs to split up in robot mode AND form a reasonable-looking head in combined mode.
Yes, they did it with the legends toys... but the smaller figures can get away with it, as they don't have to have the screen-accuracy we expect of the Deluxe or Voyager-classes.
Hey, here's an idea? Why don't we just take Hasbro at face-value, accept what they have to say and stop 'paraphrasing' or 'reading between the lines'.
No-one's forcing anyone into buying toys they don't want. If you hate the Devastator figure, just pass on it.
Alternatively, you could just sit tight and wait for the FansProject add-on.

I'm not sure that "We'll try to get it as an exclusive" constitutes "being screwed". You're speculating without information.T-Macksimus wrote:Everything I've been saying about Hasbro (which a lot of you have gotten down on me about) is going to come to pass.

I've certainly read your vitriol against Hasbro, numerous times, but I've never heard your reason for being down about them, nor have I heard any specific things you've stated about theri future plans. I'm sorry if it means you repeating something you've said before but I'm genuinely interested to know why you're so upset with them.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

So that means there will definitely be a Drift in production? Or just teasing with concept sketches?
11:50 Early days yet, just concept sketches. He's probably coming, not sure which lines

I am also excited about the reissue of the Insecticons and Perceptor. I am wondering about the price points for these guys though. Someone on here mentioned $50. I think that is too much for these guys. I think $30 would be about right.
It is unfortunate that Animated is done, but the toys keep coming. I cant wait to get Hot Rod and Arcee.
