Think skylynx was my highlight. Makes up for not having electronics and doesn't need any add ons to make it the perfect figure tho it's not on my buy straight away list.

As for the netflix, actual battle damage on battle damaged figures is nice and the extra paint apps. I'd hesitantly give it to mirage despite not liking vehicle mode for being something newish compared to the others.

Cyberverse, not feeling the love for barfing bear (despite it being new n fresh whilst kind of bay knight ish) or cos play megs/Starscream so arcee would get my vote, kind of animated and at least its not as tho she has been in Cyberverse figures before.

Studio series, overlord. Painted windows and lack of paint aside on vehicle it looks like robot mode hands it the win.

Botbots...ok I blinked and it is series 5 already. I don't have time to look or think about the mass multitudes of joy available from them. If they are classed as transformer figures owned for the world record, anyone who has an up to date collection is a contender.

SWEET! A Chromia repaint to help collect dust with the original Chromias no one bought!

Outside of the WFC figures, Thunderhowl looks the most interesting (and fun) to me. He’ll likely be my second Cyberverse purchase.

I got one

I didn’t realize snapdragon was a leader class? Is this a typo?

Wait... Snapdragon and Double Dealer are leader class? Is that correct? I assumed they would be Voyagers.

I commend you for taking one for the team.

Doubledealer is Leader Class and Snapdragon should be Voyager according to leaked Walmart listings.

Yeah they seem to have accidentally given snapdragon the wrong size class

I got two. ✌

I'll be the first one to say that it's not a great mold. But the fact that we GOT a Chromia that's her own mold, and that more than superficially resembles her G1 cartoon altmode... I'm glad. Plus, with her accessories, she can build a badass sniper rifle.

I got one as well. Even with the shellforming, the improved resemblance to her cartoon altmode compared to T30 Chromia made her a SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY figure for me.

People have been comparing Earthrise Megatron to Siege and I have to say, I think the Earthrise one is terrible. I'm not a fan of seige, but man this one is worse. The cannon/Sword for tank mode. Are they even trying?

I do like the blue "lipstick" on cyberverse Arcee. I have to say the disappointing thing about the first Arcee release at least the hasbro version was that her lips weren't painted. It looks weird to me, especially next to the Takara version.
At the price point, I would hope the Ulta Magnus is the siege version and that the 7 inches is the cab robot version and not the combined version.

They are. I saw a shot of him holding the weapon in his hand as a spear, which makes it look a lot better.

All my earlier opinions hold true, except I might get SS Cliff to serve as my evergreen version.

I'm curious, but I can't see that being much better.Where did you find the image?

With Scorpinok, we now have all the G1 Titans. I wonder what they will do next year?
Maybe a Fort max with a decent G1 base mode?

Also going to get Hotlink.

Tidal wave, g1 style metroplex, insecticon - all 3 of em, ultra magnus, Unicron, metro titan, blue omega, or the micromasters base guy, rolling thunder optimus prime for new gi Joe figures.

They may be done with titan class in all fairness other than black zarak as none of the possibilities seem likely.

1. It's Scorponok. Try to do better than the editors of Energon.

2. A reissue of Metroplex because ow those eBay prices.

I'm still down for Metrotitan and Black Zarak for next year. Hope they can make it happen.


As for the reveals, I am hella bummed there is so much black on Hotlink. I would really rather him be solid color like the show. I will definitely have to customize him to get him more in line.

I got two as well. I often double-dip on fembots for custom fodder (and got a LOT of the masked RID Windblade on clearance for a female Seeker squadron), but I wouldn't mind the Netflix one too, since one of those Chromias will likely be permanently combined with Dazzlestrike to serve as Orthia's forgin' hammer, uniting her with Elita's resistance cell.

Sideswipe and Chromia look even worse. :/

A Giant Cosmos, so Blaster can ride inside him. MAKE IT HAPPEN

Maybe they'll make a newer titan, like Croaton, or an entirely new character? It's not like any of the other titans are household names, I can't imagine a new edition would make a difference to kids. And there is a demand for new characters, which Ironworks and Airwave prove is not entirely out of the question. A new titan wold appeal to almost all audiences.




But c'mon, a giant Cosmos would be hilarious.

The only things less likely than a giant Cosmos are:
* A 100% show-accurate Thunderblast
* A 100% film-accurate ROTF Devastator
* Dickbot the Blender Guy

If they follow relative trend, we should be due a Combiner or multipack. Monstructor? Raiden? (not as likely to me with the upcoming MP) Maybe the 5 set of larger Dinobot figures people wanted?

What's this about an upcoming MP Raiden O.O?

Monstructor is certainly a possibility - the groundwork's been partially laid for him.
Who knows, maybe we'll get a better Liokaiser.
