Ooooohh, that could be awesome...

I'd be pretty happy with new characters too![]()
Kinda get the feeling that if they went that route with Unicron's heralds they'd go for some obscure dudes though. Which would also be cool

Since TakaraTomy has yet to do straight redecos from its own line, we can expect some unused heads and more retools to show up. Funnily enough, three molds would fit the bill perfectly:
- Brawl's unrevealed head
- Rook's unrevealed head
- Demolishor
The rest could be retools, as extensive as the ones done for Computicon. Mind you, they may pull a Nexus Prime and only call the whole The Fallen or "Megatronus Grand Prime".

Why not? They've already used Silverbolt and Motormaster three times.

Because what they used were variations of the mold not the mold itself. They didn't release silverbolt three times they released him once, cyclonus once and scattershot once. They haven't reused the exact torso at all yet besides Prime and grand scourge, but the latter was an Ehobby release so that's different. If they retool this next torso to look different from Bruticus then it's a different story and opens up more possibilities. But if it's a straight redeco with a new head then that'll probably be the end of that mold going off of Takaras track record.

Well yeah, I'd expect they'd retool the torso. I wouldn't expect them to go straight redeco with a new head, at least not more than once.

I'm a little curious about this - while of course if the molds are lost or broken in the case of things like G1 Sunstreaker, recreating them is a bit of a mess; what's to stop Hastak from manufacturing an entirely new copy of one they have but has been used quite a bit and hence is likely to start suffering degradation?
So if, say, the Onslaught mold has been used one too many times and they want to use it again, why can't they just make an identical copy of the mold if they have it on-hand?

Mold restoration has been done, but sparingly. The best examples would be BW Cheetor Catgut gun, G1 Jazz, G1 Rumble and Frenzy, and parts of the G1 Constructicons. Cost and paper work like patents, you know?

Not sure what molds could realistically work for for Unicron's deep-alternate-reality-fishing-team, but seeing Sinker made me realize that after what Moonheart did to team Lynxmaster, any combiners following Megatronia are gonna' need some major...RevTibe wrote:Kurona wrote:I'd be pretty happy with new characters tooSowndwave76 wrote:Ooooohh, that could be awesome...Kurona wrote:I would so be up for The Fallen from Onslaught.

Obscure Heralds of Unicron, you say?
If it were me, I'd make Hook from UW Strafe and Sinker from some version of the Rook mold.Emerje wrote:I've wanted figures of Hook, Line, and Sinker ever since their comic debut, even if they did end up being pushovers.
Let's see...
Hook - Rook mold with a hook and harpoon to plug into the fist.
Line - Alpha Bravo mold because of its slender build. Include a sword and energy net.
Sinker - Blastoff mold because it's "fat" and like Hook they can include giant wrecking balls to plug into the fists.

:P Fair enough, although I'm pretty sure we who like them also think they're kinda dumb! It mostly depends on if you're into "so bad it's good".Sigma Magnus wrote:Never had a chance to say this, so...I don't really want Hook Line and Sinker. I've always thought they were kinda dumb.

It's not so much 'skipped' as 'don't have the molds to do'.
