But...I want cartoon-accurate Reflector with the extra parts...

That was the official name of the Astro Magnum redeco sold at Radio Shack.

1. The purple comes from the Marvel comics. It may have looked maroon on some copies depending on print quality (especially in US prints because the US comics were relegated to the low-end printing equipment) or age of the paper, but purple is the correct color.
2. What makes the desaturated presentation from the IDW comics not look Decepticon to you?

Those parts could probably added to the cartoon accurate reflector. So you still get what you want.

Woah woah woah, more seekers from the seeker mold?!? lets not get too crazy here

Both statements were too vague for me to include in a post I would front page. Good for discussion though.

This is correct, the same source described the Rainmakers three pack as the following.

Ion storm has lighter and more saturated blue than Thundercracker.
Unlike the animation model , all 3 have white paint at the front waist piece
Has Gunmetal chest thruster and black thruster feet as usual
Not as much diverse paint as redwing but all the mold detail still pops

There's also a vague rumor about next year's Titan and Commander class figures. The Titan is to be one that is "expected", while the Commander is, bizarrely, described as being one that will be complementary to Titan class Omega Supreme.

And a vague rumor about another Leader class mold who turns into an armored car.

Titan Scorponok, has to be.

I just want a Commander-class Tidal Wave in animation accurate colors, is that too much to ask for?

Leader class armored car? Could be another Sentinel Prime maybe? Otherwise I’ve no idea.

For sure, but then I'm going to have three extra bots I don't really want.

Best case, Hasbro Pulse starts releasing accessory packs, like these parts or the Battle Masters blast effects.

I wouldnt hold my breath.

This is all great news! Because as everyone knows - if there's anything Transformers needs, it's more repaints!

The Galactic Man news took me on a mini emotional roller-coaster. I was massively excited about it until I realized it's not MP scale.

The Siege voyager+kibble=leader scale one is fine, it's just not the one I've wanted since MP Shockwave came out. Also, I doubt I'm going to be willing to shell out the premium version of leader class price for what I regard as a voyager class toy.

It's a repaint line, what do you expect? Its no different than the TFCC, aside from this being cheaper and more accessible.

Hot Shot was called when his head showed up on Hound's package art.

An armored car Leader-class... Roadblock? Another try at Quickswitch (although technically his ground mode is a drill tank)?

A Commander Class complementary to Omega Supreme.... Smaller version in Guardian Robot colors? New Devy? Sky Lynx? Or maybe someone misinterpreting a description that could apply to Jetfire as being a new figure?

We know that. This is just a list that includes him as well and further gives credence to the fact that we are getting him. As opposed to it just being art of a design we would never get (like the monstructor and dinoking).

Watch the new Commander figure be a down-sized version of CW Devastator.




or it could be what we all truly want. GENERATIONS OMEGA SPREME

As for the leader figure my mind immediately went to Cybertron Defense Red Alert, to go with the rumored Hot Shot.

Actually if the commander has something to with Omega Supreme, maybe it will Buzzsaw?

I wonder what the armored
car is
I know we all think the Titan class should be scorponoj
But what if they switch it up and give something like a repaint of Omega supreme as dark sentinel

But that wouldn't complement Omega, since Titan class Omega is already scaled to size up to Titan class Devastator. Omega's taller, even.

It was halfway a joke honestly. But really, who else as any inherent connection to Omega Supreme who would fit the scale?

Hmm, maybe we're all approaching this from the wrong angle. Instead of thinking about Omega from the fictional standpoint, maybe it's to do with him as a toy.

He's a rocket base, so maybe it's a Commander class figure with a spaceship altmode that can connect to Omega's base mode launchpad, like a new Sky Lynx or Galaxy Shuttle.

Considering Omega comes with Countdown, you could also consider that a fiction based connection, albeit it's a bit of a stretch. Hey, I'd get it if they did it.

What do people think of the possibilities I suggested for the alleged new Commander?

EDIT: The wishful thinking in my head pointed out that that vague description could be construed to apply to Overlord, if one can consider a Decepticon with some similar functionality to be a complementary figure.
