Blaster is as small as he can be and still use the Datapad interaction I suspect - they did miss a trick with not having the door hold a cassette too.

This does not seem to be possible though more's the pity.

I'm worried about how hollow blaster is going to be to hold those discs like that. I thought I saw an open back

I'm more interested in the deluxes and voyagers currently revealed than Blaster anyways. I kinda hope that rumor about CW Ultra Magnus being retooled into a headmaster Powermaster Prime is true, that would be amazing.

I personally really nope not. Prime should be his own mold and a Powermaster Prime would be amazing and sweet as a new mold. I love the magnus mold, but it should not be used for prime

...but it would be a perfect base for an extensive retool into Powermaster Prime in my opinion, because at least he would actually LOOK like Powermaster Prime. I do agree that I want him to have his own mold, but I would much rather him be a retool of UM than a retool of something else. (*cough cough* CW Optimus.) Who else would be a retool of UM? (Actually Scourge would be an AMAZING retool of UM in my opinion lol, even though it wouldn't make much sense.)

But I don't want that mold retooled. for me, that mold is perfect for Magnus and anyone else using the mold wouldn't be near as good. besides: the shoulder pads on magnus are half the length of the top part of the trailer. what would happen there? Prime with magnus shoulders? No, we have got enough of the retools/repaints, they should have the ability to make new molds for this line, especially when we have got 3 repainted leaders in the past year remolded from a leader last year plus another set of retools. That is 7 leaders in the past 2 years using 3 molds. Not that i am against them, but new molds are needed

I wouldn't mind as it looks cool enough. But the qc issues would have to get ironed out first.

These are more or less my thoughts on the issue, they would have to do a lot of retooling to get that mold perfect for prime.

I'll echo this as well. I wouldn't mind a Magnus retool/repaint somewhere down the line. I think Powered Convoy is the no brainer there. Powermaster Prime needs his own mold for the gimmick to work right. I'm really hoping PM Prime is really a Powermaster & not another headmaster for this line.

The Data Pads sit inside Blaster slanted down and back at an angle he always shows a fake chest no matter what pad is in him.

If you look up videos on Youtube you can see how the features works and how much kibble he has on his back and how hollow he is.

It doesn't stick out hugely but he's not flat backed either.

That's actually not true, the chest is clear so you can see which tape is currently in his chest. The only time there is a "fake" chest is when that little black piece is in instead of a tape. And as far as the kibble goes the only kibble that's there is the boombox handle.

That Bumblebee pictured in some of the Earth Wars game videos looks kinda like a new toy. I'm not sure obviously but it seems to be mimmicking a transformers figure like Blaster, Megatron, and a couple others are doing. It could just be slightly based on the Classics Bumblebee, but this could mean something...

Just an observation.

It's more of an amalgam design based on the Classics Bumblebee mold with the chest design of Generations Legends class Bumblebee plus the black stripes that a lot of other Bumblebees have.

Well with all that detail it looks like a real toy. It would be interesting for us to see if some of these designs, besides the ones we know are based on toys, will be revealed in plastic form soon. Hopefully that's the case! I would love to see a new updated Titan Wars-sized deluxe Bumblebee.

Bludgeon looks like a real toy too, but it's just the ROTF toy with some liberties made to it, much like Bumblebee.

Plus, this fandom has made itself clear that it's pretty sick of more Bumblebee toys.

I'm sick of Bumblebee toys that don't look like g1 Bee.

How about Megatron toys that dont look like G1 Megatron. As far as I know there is no megatron toy that actually looks like he does in the G1 cartoon.

CW Megs looks close enough. I don't expect it to look 100% like the g1 cartoon, but pretty damn close at least.

Btw I hope that Titan Wars Skullcruncher gets retooled into Krok.

He looks nothing like the G1 cartoon.







He is nothing more than an homage in robot mode with the only thing looking like the G1 cartoon being his face and chest.

He looks far less like G1 Megatron than Classics Bee or Generations Legends Bee looks like G1 Bee. And MP Bee looks way more like G1 Bee than MP Megs looks like cartoon Megs.

1. I was talking about Megatron's robot mode.

2. I was not including MP Bee, I was talking about wanting a new, updated version of g1 Bee with maybe a different alt mode, but with a lot of the same robot mode details, just like CW Megs.

3. The versions of Bee I was talking about lately that are not g1 style, are the movie versions, Prime, RiD, and others.

That exists and it is in scale with the rest:

I meant deluxe sized lol. I think a deluxe, (and yes I know about the Classics Bee, cuz I have that mold from years ago,) with an updated design and transformation, but keeping the same robot elements as the g1 Bumblebee (Black legs, hood of car becomes chest, etc.) it would go very well with a lot of the other newer figures. All we need is a Leader class Optimus Prime about the size of CW Megs.

But a leader prime and a deluxe bee wouldnt scale with any of the CW deluxes that came out this year or next year.

EDIT

Oh wait, you are aware of that since you talk of Megatron a well. I feel making Megatron a leader was a mistake, personally. Now everyone is hoping for a new scale and that wont happen, as Titans Return is proving. With a the Deluxe bee and leader OP (we are getting one next year, but he is a Powermaster) you want, the new scale collection would only consist of those two autobots against Megs and 3 seekers. I guess that is fine for a showpiece, but I doubt they will continue with this scale.

Those leaders are a bit - big I think Hasbro takes the size category name a bit to literally it made some sense to make an Optimus with a Trailer a leader as the core robot was then more or less Voyager/ultra size but for me I would rather they thought about the suitability of the size and instead perhasp brought back Ultra for things like a Tank Megatron.

It's a shame that the KO's in the works are not slightly downsized I would think that would be super popular if a slightly smaller Starscream and co or Megatron existed.

It wouldn't perhaps be quite so noticeable except for the preponderance of things like Legends and legion class that just make the likes of Megatron seem even bigger than he other wise would against say a lot of Voyagers.

I guess it depends on how you want to use your toys - I can only suggest if you want a better scaled Megatron buy the GDO version and use that.

The Green Samurai? I would rather suggest the United or Henkei classics.
