So, my question is, are we going to see a U.S. release of Slingshot to complete Superion. Or, are we going to need to get AB?

[Counterpunch]

Thanks to 4chan!

Well...there's that.

I really hope it looks better in finished product.

I'm glad that everyone else seems to be pleased with what they're seeing.

Forgot to comment about Leader Thundercracker.

I'd be perfectly contented if Thundercracker were the only Seeker we were to get from that mold, as that body design is his and his alone.

They just need to do a new Voyager sized Seeker and milk it for all it's worth.

Viper reminds me of Micromaster Tailwind

Now that you mention it, it is a little sad that we haven't yet gotten a G1-esque Voyager Seeker mold. The only lines that have given us Voyager (or Voyagerish) Seekers, regardless of G1-ness, are Armada, Cybertron, Movie 1, Animated, and ROTF.

I think without context or scale it looks strangely small and fragile. Then again, display models often either cut corners or don't take advantage of poseability.

For me, a simple test would be if he can bend his knees and pose a little. It always seems like combiners are forever straight legged, which while statuesque is somewhat static.

Very happy about that Rook description. One more mold taken care of for the Leokaiser combiner All they need is to use the same drill alt mode they'll use for Computron and we are pretty much set. Also, I really wish that mold was one of the choices in the combiner war fan poll app.

A US release of Slingshot has been founf in a computer listing at Toysrus in the US. So yes, a US release is planned, we just dont know for when.

not trying to be a stickler here, but devastator has his own REALLY popular thread at the moment, to lets try to keep on topic here

Depending on how the Armored Swat Vechicle for Rook is designed. Was think it could be repurposed as a CW toy for Swindle or Brawl.

i think rook will definitely be repurposed into one of those two. the G1'er inside me weeps for groove, but im quite excited to see the new guy.

Even with a massive retool, I just dont see the silverbolt mold as Cyclonus. I liked the deluxe mold and could care less about bigger toys. If anything they should have made a voyager galvatron to be the torso.

Think it will pull of a nice G CW Cyclonus toy. Not everyone likes the small toys, this is for them.

with massive retools like sandstorm and chromia already out there, im surprised you cant see it X. the general shapes of the jets are quite similar. just change the nose, flip the wings, splash of purple paint and BAM! silverclonus.

and just imagine this, targetmaster galvatron.
and i dont mean legends class. he could be a voyager for all i care, that cyclonus maximus has to hold with two hands. THAT. would be amazing.

i think i just realized the appeal of fanfic

What are the choices for limbs then in that poll?

Jet/helicopter, car, or truck. Thats it.

For the jet, I would have preferred Cyclonus to be a retool of Brainstorm instead of Silverbolt. The sleek yet powerful look is much more indicative of cyclonus.

Also, fanfic totally has appeal, they sell 12000 of those comics every month

But none of the Brestforce turned into an APC-type vehicle.

[Flashwave]

wait a minute Optimus Maximus is also the name that they're using in the new rid cartoon. do we know for sure and for certain that this name is going to be attached to the white prime redeco we saw a week back or is this just a we have a name and we have a figure let's put them together. rid hasn't been showing much of a voyager line, do we know they're not just going to runthese two together the way generation and aoeshare the shelf space

Optimus Supreme, you mean.

I think the Brainstorm mold would make a great Cloudburst.

I was thinking of him used for Killbison. It would be a classics version so a change in alt mode would be ok with me (better than nothing) and an APC vehicle works as a stand in for the tank. I mean look at how much G1 ONslaught changed to his unvierse version (which was an APC vehicle). I know he wasnta tank originally but he wasnt an APC vehicle either and it still worked well for him. At least its a battle vehicle and that's all I would need to be happy.

It doesnt look like a fat neckless human.

Oh, you mean the jet he came with.

Just messing around, but seriously I dont want his shell involved in any way if this were ever the case.

I'm kind of worried about cyclonus from silverbolt... not because I don't think the figure will look good, but because I'm wondering what the combiner torso mode will look like

[Optimizzy]

Having a cyclonus on par with mania king would be awesome. If they do as good of a job retooling as they have done recently I think we will be pleasantly surprised.

[Ginrai Minor]

Having a cyclonus on par with mania king would be awesome.

Bingo

[munkimus prime]

Beside the Protectobots, the one figure who has me most excited is the Legend Warpath. Just because of how good previous Legend figures have been.

A purple Superion maybe?
