Next Crossover Transformers Figures to be Universal Dracula + Amazon Prime

Motto: "'till All Are One"
Fellow Seibertronian JTPrime17 found listings for some upcoming figures which clarifies previous news we got. Remember that Bat crossover? Well the new listing for that product has it as a Universal Dracula collaborative. And we even know the name, Draculus. This is supposedly a redeco/retool of Titans Return Mindwipe. We also have more info on a Prime Optimus Prime listing that had surfaced. While we all thought that referred to Optimus Prime from the Prime show, it turns out it's a crossover with the Amazon brand so we are getting an Amazon Prime Optimus Prime. Afterall, many have forgotten what Prime day is all about and who's death we commemorate that day, so hopefully this toy will help.

and here I was hoping for Christopher Lee, so he can be Count Dooku.

We never got a Count Dooku in the previous Star Wars Crossovers.

One neat idea is to use a G1 Scourge for Robot Mode,with the alternate mode remolded to be a coffin.

But personally,I think they should an Hotel Transylvania Dracula.

Hrmm... This is kind of cool. Also considering the Universal Dracula film is celebrating its's 90th anniversary, hopefully we can get more. This is also the 90th anniversary of Universal's Frankenstein. I wonder however, if this will be some sort of Universal Studios exclusive? (ala the Evac toys, and SS48 DotM Megatron)

I would think Mindwipe retool would be a slam-dunk, but we will see


Frankenstein(1931)-Autobot X
The Mummy (1932) ?
The Invisible Man (1933) -Mirage ;)
The Wolf Man (1941)-Weirdwolf or Fangry
Phantom of the Opera (1943) ?
Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) Submarauder?

Might be thinking too literal on the name, but it led me to immediately think of Cyclonus? He kind of has the right stature in Bot Mode. But as we already know, none of these crossover figures have been retools. So I'll be curious to see where they go with this one. A big fan of Universal Monsters, so this is the first crossover since Terminator (Although I am an X-Men fan, I was never looking forward to X-Spanse) that I'm actually curious about.

I could be wrong, but I think the Top Gun Toy was the only one that wasn't an extensive retool...

Ectotron- CW Hotspot
Gigawatt- Siege Sideswipe
X-Spanse- SS Jetfire

They've been 50% retools / engineering sharing and 50% new molds.

Maverick was a new mold.
X-Men was a new mold
GhostBusaters was a retool, or engineering re-use if you will
BTTF was again engineering retool.

How extensive Mindwipe will be retooled or what part of its engineering will be used is the question.

Ironically, Maverick is the only one I've seen in person. So I just assumed they were all the same. Although I did think Gigawatt might have been a Datsun or Battlecharger mold.

Gigawatt was a Sideswipe retool.

Ecto 1 was a massive reengineering of CW Onslaught.

Maverick and X-Panse were new molds.

I disagree. Only thing they share is the blackbird alt mode. And its even a different blackbird design.

There's nothing from SS Jetfire there at all.

If it was that extensive a retool it might as well be a new mold.

X-Spanse boasts an impressive range of articulation in robot mode, including a ball-jointed inner-shoulder, a double-ratcheted knee bend, and a slight ab crunch with additional side-to-side.

The only thing there that looks somewhat similar are the panels on their backs. Its very much a completely new mold, with new engineering. Minus a couple of shared panels.

Like Pepsi Prime, and Ghost busters Prime, that's likely what its going to be. An amazon labeled Earthrised Prime. Doubt't they'd go to the trouble of repainitng the MP for this.

Also, it will probably come with Amazon packages you can stuff in the trailer.

Those shared panels are all you need to stop it from being a completely new mold. Also, not all the engineering is new, the top half used the same transformation design from Jetfire. It's based on that mold and expanded on, it wasn't made designed from scratch.

It's a really elaborate retool, just like all of these toys are (with the top gun one being totally new).

It's way more elaborate than the other 2 retools if that is the case. I still don't see anything from SS Jetfire outside of the back panels.

Gigawatt is basically sideswipe with a different car shell. And as extensive as Ectotron is, you can still see Onslaught there.

Even Side by side, its difficult to see any resemblance between X-Panse and SS Jetfire.

Where do we draw the line between retool and new mold if 95% of the figure is different.
