Secondly, regarding MTMTE:
Sadly, lady Rung isn't a transgender Rung. She's a disciple of Rung, or at least what he represents as someone without a function for his alt mode. Roberts confirmed that she's a separate character.

Well we are aware of that but what are we supposed to call her The alternate establishing timeline female transformer who may or may not be transgender or naturally female cybertronian whom looks like rung due to being disciple of rung, or just likes coke-bottle glasses?
The one advantage I can see to releasing Prime in this wave instead of Motormaster is that retailers might be more inclined to stock more of this wave if they see that it has a brand new big Optimus Prime mold in it, since the Dec/Jan waves seem to be the least-stocked of most lines. Recall what happened to the wave with Waspinator/Skids/Goldfire/Dreadwing.ZeroWolf wrote:Motormaster looks awesome, you can tell that he was remolded into prime.

I was actually happy to see that the Strongarm character from the new Robots In Disguise 2015 line is female but not designed stereotypically or overly feminine. It's about time a fembot looks like a kick butt war machine. Just like all the other robots.
the first season, yeah she did. after that though its rather addicting. and ru paul is actually quite funnyWolfman Jake wrote:RuPaul's Drag Race is Awesome, shajaki. Admit it, your girlfriend doesn't really have to twist your arm that hard to get you to watch.
very aware of the facts. gender can be a very complicated thing... and labels arent always a good thing. either way, no harm meantMetro Prime wrote:I liked Animated Drag Strip, but the name/gender choice was a bit offensive.
And just for the record, not all of us are drag queens, nor are all drag queens transexual.

Wait, they are both in wave 2? So we only have Optimus in Wave 1? I dont think that's how it will go. I suspect we see Silverbolt Wave 1 from the way listings have been cropping up.

RiddlerJ wrote:Is Silverbolt the combiner member with the most toys?
As popular as the Constructicons are, all of them are left in the dust considering the number of figures they have. Onslaught my be second in the number of figures.
william-james88 wrote:Now, Optimus' arm being Dragstrip in the drawing has less assumptions than it being blast off. His arm being blast off assumes that there will be a blast off figure in that color scheme released, while there is no assumption to be made that dragstrip will be released, we already know he is.
Hence, there are less assumptions that Optimus is made up of those wave one figures than the yet to be revealed wave two figures. Occam's razor is the hypothesis with the least assumptions, and thus that Optimus drawing being of his combined form with the same transformers he is seen combined with on the back of his very own box is Occam's razor in this particular case.
