All Takara have done is tease some sketches.
Until they actually confirm, a shuttle Blast-off is just speculation.
I disagree. It is one thing to dig and find a prototype image of a toy but in this case this is the head designer telling us he is working on Blast Off on twitter. I fail to understand how that is not a confirmation. When hasbro told us we would be getting combiners, that was a confirmation we were getting combiners. I dont see this being any different.
Think as you wish, we are getting a takara shuttle blast off. The only question left is if it will be exclusive or not.
Just because the head designer says he's working on something, it doesn't mean it will come to fruition. I could be pulled at any moment for any number of reasons, especially if its a decision from another dept. ie finance or management. Things get pulled all the time in business, regualrly without warning.

Just because they did it once, it does not guarantee they will do it again. If this the rule, should we expect to see 3 or 4 new deluxe limbs from them to go with Scattorshot?
Dude are you serious ?
This is like the worst case of denial Ive ever seen. The head designer has it in the works. That’s confirmed. Takara is all about G1. That is their business. They delivered with a proper Groove. A proper Blast Off is coming. Its not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.
And for the Technobots, expect similar massive retools on the same scale as Nightbird/Blackarachnia/Slipstream…
Nosecone – Brawl retool
Afterburner – Groove retool
Strafe – Fireflight retool
Lightspeed – Dead End retool
Now that’s just speculation of course, but the fact that Takara is finally doing their own thing beyond just shiny paint and the MP line is real…
