Guys, Bug Bite exists. He had a toy.AcademyofDrX wrote:I think it's a callback to the original coloration for Hubcap, though the licensing explanation is also plausible.

Honestly, I think it is only the modulators/weaponizers on Pulse that sell out fast since they are army builders for some. Really, Centurion Drone, Greasepit and Hothouse are the only ones I can think of that went fast.

wow that is odd. Those are all the ones I purchased, but not because they are potential "Army Builders" but because they have the ability to build cities (and the drone being a weaponizer, though not associated with a Titan, I figured I have all the others so what the heck, but most people are getting it for the weapons pack anyway).
So of the 3 left we pretty much know it will be Voyager G2 Megs, Roritchi and... "". Roritchi is the only one I want. I'm hoping the last one is a bit of a surprise, not Ratchet as some are speculating.
Has there been an official method of reveal for the Quintesson Pit of Judgement yet? That may be the 5th one...
