Would Hasbro really retool Silverbolt into Scattershot on top of the already planned retool of Silverbolt into Cyclonus?

Well, the Optimus Prime mold is getting three uses already, no?

We're getting Motormaster now, and that White repaint called "Optimus Maximus" or whatever down the road.

Yeah, but, as far as we can tell, Optimus Maximus might not being any different from the Optimus mold tooling-wise aside from just a new non-combiner head, which is hardly comparative to Silverbolt being given two completely different Sandstorm/Chromia-level retools to make both Cyclonus and Scattershot.

Did we ever get official confirmation for a Cyclonus, much less out of Silverbolt or are we all speculating based on a single image?

Mr. Chaos pulled out a listing for it as being the wavemate of Hot Spot.

Weird... I'm gonna put any and all speculation on hold until this weekend. You know what for

More than just a bit irritated that we are getting a Chop Shop figure before we get Kickback to complete the set of the original 3 Insecticons.
Not exactly thrilled about Pipes either since he is obviously going to be a straight-up repaint of Huffer who is nothing more than a Legends Prime re-paint. This just further fuels my gripe about this entire line being nothing but recycled, repainted b.s. Hasbro has been bad about it in past lines but this time they are going way overboard with it. Right now i really don't care what Shockwave, Buzzsaw or any other figures look like. I've seen them all before and will probably see them 6 more times before this crap line is finished.
I could buy two whole combiners and 4 legends figures and I've bought TWO YEARS worth of this line in one shopping trip and for right around $120.00 with absolutely nothing worthwhile to purchase after that. How f**ing stupid is that and how lazy could Hasbro possibly get?
They up-sized their PCC gimmick is all they've done but they are still working off the same marketing principle as the PCC's and y'all are eating that sh** up and Hasbro is all like
That sounds like complete idiocy on your part but hey, if y'all want to set the bar that low, go ahead.

The Classics line is dead.
G3 blah blah blah.

I suppose I can't pass these legends any more...

They are a lot of fun. You won't be sorry if you dive in.

Shockwave as a wieldable weapon sounds awesome. That RTS legends Megatron loves to be Armada Unicron's sidearm. I hope we see lots of this idea.

Did you know he fits perfectly in both modes of the MP Seekers? He clips right under the nosecone in alt mode and can be held by starscream's hands in robot mode.

Wow, that was a complete waste of a post. What is the point of it, rather than to convey your ridiculous narcissism and totally irrelevant rant? I have seen two posts from you on this site in the last month, and both were just idiotic rants of you trying to call others morons for buying transformers. Are you just trolling or are you really this bitter? And if you hate the line so much, then why are you in this thread to being with?

Change the bedpan, put on a fresh shirt, and get out of your moms basement. It will help with that stick up your @ss.

The only one beating a dead horse is you. A thirty year old dead horse.

Its pathetic. Move on. Live in the now. Its not my fault you can't shoehorn stuff into your geewun classics crap. Rail Hasbro, not me.

Do you even like Transformers? Or understand that G3 is a construct of your mind?

Because the answer to both questions seems to be 'no'.

Ok, so if I do not live in the past and conform to the handful of pathetic people who think every single release from the TF line is GEEWUN, then I just do not like Transformers? Where in the hell did you formulate that stupid ideology? I know why. Because you had nothing else to say and are angry that you fall within the description of the very people I am talking about.

So, G3 is just in my mind because you say so? Coming from a person like you that is a compliment. Move on. G1 is dead. Now, go get in the fetal position, clutching your geewun Optimus, and repeat "it can't be true" over and over until you convince yourself that g1 is not long dead and buried.

Yup. Does this pic work to show it?



Hopefully this one works



And here's the description from tf wiki:

In a fit of complete awesomeness, the figure is sculpted with notches in its handle that specifically allow the Masterpiece Starscream mold to grip it. Additionally, the slightly thicker portion of the barrel closer to the main body can be held by the clip included with Masterpiece Starscream and attach to his jet mode. Unfortunately, Megatron can only be held vertically.

really? no one here is trying to push an agenda, whether classics is alive or dead, BESIDES YOU. the rest of us can plainly see, classics went to universe, universe went to generations, generations went to CW. its different, but all part of the same group. no "shoehorning" is even necessary.

youre telling me to move on? why not you with the whole G3 youve solely concocted, that no one else prescribes to?

[shockblast2]

and i thought tfw was pessemistic.

Don't get me started on those people. Some of them make the geewun people here totally bearable. I don't even like going to that site at all because of the a-holes with geewun complex. Every single bot released is nothing more than some Classics figure they can shoehorn in their collections because they are all bitter that Hasbro makes toys for children and not poor excuses for adults like themselves. To me there is nothing more silly than somebody displaying their geewun classics collection with a FOC Shockwave or HFTD Seaspray "standing in" while they wait, in vain, for Hasbro to cater to their ideology.

Why not just buy the figures that are current and be happy with them? I am. I would like to see a Voyager Shockwave or Legends Brawn, but if it don't happen, then ok.

[william-james88]

and i thought tfw was pessemistic.

I heard it was, but maybe they banned a few people who have found their way here.

But lets keep it positive. I am assuming Scattershot is a whole new mold. Also, I am probably the only person who initially though they were redoing this guy:

I don't own any G1 figures. Not my style. If I'm going to assume the fetal position, the figure I'll be clutching will be the more reasonably sized Black Series 6" Boba Fett. Because, Boba Fett.

And no, G3 isn't in your mind because I say so; it's in your mind because you made it up.

If the only thing you can do is call me stupid in yet another angry rant, that says a whole lot more about you than it does about me.

You hypocrite, you are doing the very same thing you charge me of. You say I am "pushing " the term G3 on people. Yet, I am not calling people stupid and antagonizing them because they do not agree with your effin ideology. I made a post. If you don't like it, move on. I think differently than you. Get over it. If you want to live in a delusion, then by all means. And I am not the only one using the G3 title, nor am I the only one who thinks people like you have a pathetic ideology. I can name two members right now that have PM'ed me about your type of silliness.

No, Classics went to Universe, and Universe went to the grave. Generations had some Classics stuff in the first few waves. That is all and that is the fact. Anyone who saw the giant FOC on the waves starting in 2012 and have half a brain can recognize that.

Now, go back to "walking in the park with" Spiderman or something. We are talking about TF's here. Take your Marvel BS and head on to the Spiderman man love site.

Angry rant? Are you delusional or something? You made a post accusing me of not liking TF's based on nothing more than your own anger.

And then you try to take some high road like you never said anything cross to me? Pathetic. Just save it. this stupidity has totally derailed this post just because a small handful of pathetic jackasses like you cannot let someone have a different ideology without you running your mouth about it.

I think it will be a retool of Silverbolt. But, you never know. Whatever they do, expect it twice, or maybe even thrice. Hasbro has been doing this lately, and even suing molds from other lines as retools, like Chromia and RID Drift.
