According to an interview Vangelus did with Clint Chapman at BotCon, the Go!-original molds aren't coming over.

I'd take that with a grain of salt since Hasbro hasn't announced their post-Beast Hunters plans yet. I wouldn't be surprised if Go! was brought over here, especially since the Beast Hunters toy line seems to be continuing well past the end of the cartoon which is rather odd. Usually at this point, it's just Hasbro knocking out repaints and such but we seem to be getting a lot of new molds still through the first quarter of next year which is odd without a cartoon backing it up. Also seems like that'd be the easy route since TF4 comes out next year. Time will tell.

I just figured that the upcoming BH stuff that we're getting until TF4 would just serve as filler to tide us over until the movie (what with it just being upsized Cyberverse toys and redone versions of existing character toys instead of anything really new).

Kinda like what the original Classics line was in 2006 when it tided us over until the movie in 2007. Or the RiD line in 2001-2002 that tided us over till Armada.

We'll see, I guess.

Problem: How would the Samurai and Shinobi teams fit in Hasbro's price points? From what I can tell they're kinda like Breakdown, too much plastic for Voyager yet not enough for the next point.

Don't forget the all-new molds for the really big Voyager Class Predaking and Optimus Prime!

That's what I what I meant by "redone versions of existing character toys". It's just another Optimus and Predaking in the same fictional bodies as before, but with some extra flavor thrown in, instead of something entirely new.

Good question. Any ideas, Ryan?

Maybe they could do gift-set of them .

I think Breakdown is less plastic than Beast Hunters Voyager Class Optimus Prime. I'm still hoping that he'll get a Hasbro release at some point with a proper hammer.

If ever mess with Animated Wingblade Prime again,could show the Jetpack with the deluxe Optimus?

I forgot all about the Deluxe being able to combine with those wings!

When I first bought the Wingblade OP toy, I tried to see how to attach the pieces to the figure and couldn't figure it out beyond the arm gauntlets. I remember Peaugh once stating in his review of the Voyager figure that he would try to figure out the Deluxe armor combination in a later video, but I don't think he ever did.

Looking back at the original image of it, there's not a whole lot of clarity in it, unfortunately:

I just realized, we have the whole first year of Decepticons in WFC/FOC bodies (even Shockwave).

We need a group shot STAT!

No Barricade, Dead End, Demolishor, Trypticon or Breakdown

I think he meant the G1 toy line.

I'd really like to see more 3rd party toys galleries. Igear's "Mini Warriors", KFC's not-Perceptor and FansProject's not-insecticons, to begin with

Hate to burst your bubble, but we've kinda strayed away from third party products.

Uhm... ok, why is that? :\

No reflector though.

Ryan wants to support Hasbro/TakaraTomy and not third-parties.

It's also become too expensive for him to keep up with all the third party stuff and so has returned to sticking strictly with official products.

Uh... I understand the whole supporting Hasbro thing, I just don't know why a 3rd part gallery from time to time undermines that support.

If those toys being more expensive is the actual reason, then, well... Ok.

Because Ryan wants to show "total" support of the official products.

Not to mention every time people compare 3rd Party to Official HasTakTom product, we get a flame war quicker than you can say... well anything. That's why the 3rd Party talk has been split off and housed in the Non-Transformers Toy forum.

Oh yeah, Reflector.

WFC Megatron would've made a good Reflector, if they changed the head and made the cannon into a telescope.

Oh well.

Hey Ryan, I've a request for when you do the galleries for Goradora and his components.

For each gallery of Goradora's components (which are called "Jaki" - which is both a singular and plural term), could you take a few pics of each Jaki with their respective larger Predacon master?

Dorara (the orange/black Hun-Gurrr redeco) is said to be controlled by Dragotron (Japanese Predaking), while each limb Jaki is controlled by one of the four other Go! Predacons (the "Four Oni", as they are known).

Based on the color schemes, we can guess that:

• Garara (the green Twinstrike redeco) is likely controlled by Gaidora
• Burara (the red Blight redeco) is likely controlled by Budora
• Barara (the blue Windrazor redeco) is likely controlled by Bakudora, and
• Jurara (the purple Rippersnapper redeco) is likely controlled by Judora.

'Course, Judora still has yet to be released, so pics of him and Jurara together might have to wait until later.

Though this has not been reflected in the cartoon (yet), the above pairing information that isn't just speculation comes from Goradora's toy bio.

I will be happy to do this to help demonstrate what you put together with these, though I won't be working on their galleries until next month.
