Well, since this isn't a Beast Wars toyline, it's not like they can just fill it up with a bunch of them, since there's more characters in Dark Cybertron to add in.

Though, there is still possibly that new Rattrap we're rumored to be getting.

Simple. An Autobot face and a Decepticon face. Since he no longer has a viable altmode to serve as a workable Decepticon mode, he could be a guy who pretends to have a twin brother on the enemy faction, with multiple faces to mask his being the same guy.

If he does still have a face-changing gimmick, that is.

To which I can confidently say, he does not.

Darn. Then he's stuck interacting with the Cons in a rather expressionless altmode.

Or he just uses the Robot Mode for both sides, but the Tank for Autobot and the Jet for the Decepticons as Alt Mode. The barrel would be hard to hide tho...

Then both sides would notice an identical fellow interacting with both factions of the conflict.

Punch works since he has a second robot mode to hide his identity. Doubledealer's condor mode worked as a Decepticon robot mode to hide his Autobot robot mode identity. Now the secret's harder to hide with just one workable bot mode.

So the bidding is up to $120 for Rhinox and $100 for DD. Who in there right mind would waste so much money on two unpackaged and in the case of Rhinox, poorly painted figures.

Its not like these are going to be hard to find in a couple of months.

"I paid a fortune for this, but now I can properly say..."

"FIRST!"

I guess. Nothing like being #1 on the internet.

The transformation and kibble placements in robot mode are even basically the same.

Plus, it could be redecoed into Elphaorpha.

Well, there is profit to be had as the first youtube reviewer.

"Doubledealer".
Really?

Why didnt he have his own mold, with giant missile and his two minicons? He won't even have a vulture mode for Christ's sake!

Hasbro, let a 3rd party take over DD please.
