Yea, what I mean is that some need remakes, NOT reissues.
I am kind of indecisive if I'd prefer a reissue or remake of TM2 Tigerhawk
We are talking about a completely new figure here. Otherwise it would be an Ultra class.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:I hope not. Unless they fix the floppy arm...ZeroWolf wrote:There is rumours that we will see a leader class tm2 megs next year but take them with a mountain of salt
I'm not convinced that we can rule out remakes only because Takara didn't care about something back then. Things change!Remakes are doubtful, as Japan didn't care for the Transmetals. Reissues would be more likely, as they come from Hasbro.Lunatic Prime wrote:AllNewSuperRobot wrote:If we’re talking strict reissues, new accessories, scaling and articulation are Never going to happen.

And they designed stuff like Hellscream, Max B, Dirgegun and Thrustor which are kind of homages to the TM2 design concept. But I'd be happy with remakes of these figures, too. I mean there are rumours about a Generations Lio Convoy in 2022, too.
Still exists in Cyberverse.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Lunatic Prime wrote:We are talking about a completely new figure here. Otherwise it would be an Ultra class.
Except that classification doesn't exist anymore. So he would naturally defer to 'Leader Class'.
I doubt that especially considering the SIEGE line.Lunatic Prime wrote:I'm not convinced that we can rule out remakes only because Takara didn't care about something back then. Things change!

Wishful thinking aside. The Japanese fanbase is the primary focus of HasTak.
The only true BW character in Cyberverse was Cheetor. Maybe Sky-Byte if you include base molds. And Kingdom is kind of a test run of how much interest is still there in American Beast Wars stuff.There is a reason the Beast Wars Masterpiece line was given a fixed end point of Season One. Why both Cyberverse and WFC Kingdom focus on Season One designs of Beast Wars.
Only in Japan or the Western markets, as well?Because those designs were liked, the Transmetals were not. So in that respect, nothing has changed.
What I mean is that Lio Convoy is a BW 2nd character like the other four mentioned ones. So if they see that there's interest in Lio Convoy they might do more from BW 2nd like Hellscream, Max B, Dirgegun and Thrustor for example.It is a bit of a stretch to link those figures with TM2. Especially considering Japan didn't even get all of that line.
Plus Lio Convoy was neither TM1 or TM2. So that rumour doesn't really have anything to do with anything.

He's one of the most tragic cases of red-chrome flaking, I've heard reports of his legs inexplicably shattering, and those rubber treads you have to fold up into his claws then stretch around his wheel assembly ain't gonna' last forever either. Maybe they could even retool him so all his crab legs end up on his shoulder pads like on the show.
I haven't handled Magnaboss in years, but out of curiosity, do the Japanese and Korean releases of BWII Skywarp have GPS too?
At least with Transmetal Megs you have the Metals option. Since my rare-ish pinkish-purple-chrome variant broke, I've regretted not buying that Easter basket with the chrome-swap TM Primal vs. Megatron KO in Kmart 15+ years ago.

Remakes are doubtful, as Japan didn't care for the Transmetals. Reissues would be more likely, as they come from Hasbro.
Tigerhawk's main issue was a completely lack of a paintjob. Although his show model wasn't exactly awash with colour to begin with.
