Because there is no Lobclaw repaint in BWII.

I still think they'll eventually do a separate release of Red Lobclaw, for the Gimlet lover in BWII.Skritz wrote:KeyLargoLost wrote:why don't they just include a Lobclaw figure? they already have the mold. they just had to paint it and add it to the set and could have bumped the price up.

It would be cool if we can get a repainted Lobclaw as a standalone exclusive. Like it was said, the mold is already made. Is repainting it not worth the cash it would bring in? Personally, I don't know anything about BW2, but I think that version of the Seacons looks better than the pink and teal.Skritz wrote:KeyLargoLost wrote:why don't they just include a Lobclaw figure? they already have the mold. they just had to paint it and add it to the set and could have bumped the price up.

Yes originally God Neptune was going to be a 7 member team with Rockbuster ( a repaint of BW Predacon Razorclaw), but the idea was dropped, and Rockbuster ended up as a maximal in isolation in BW Neo.

Dvandom's website has some old 1998 scans from TV Magazine, but I'm not seeing anything about the Razorclaw mold connecting to the Seacons.o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Source?o.supreme wrote:If they do a Lobclaw repaint down the line, what.if they decided to fully realize their original intent and include some form of Rockbuster as the 7th member

It was an early catalogue pic from BWII in 1998, probably several months before the actual God Neptune toy came out. That's 22+ years ago, I couldn't find the pic, even in the wayback machine, but my search skills aren't the greatest. I'd love to see it again, because I cant remember exactly how they thought they were going to make the crab connect. If anyone can find it, I'd be much obliged. I'm many things, but a liar isn't one of them.

Doing a more thorough search, myself, I just went through my own scans from TV Magazine and Comic Bun Bun that were included with Karyuudo Fansubs's release of BWII, and the only images those magazines show of the Seacon toys feature only the normal five members and no sign of the Razorclaw mold.Sabrblade wrote:Dvandom's website has some old 1998 scans from TV Magazine, but I'm not seeing anything about the Razorclaw mold connecting to the Seacons.o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Source?o.supreme wrote:If they do a Lobclaw repaint down the line, what.if they decided to fully realize their original intent and include some form of Rockbuster as the 7th member

Who can say how Takara's thinking goes...

Like with Headmaster Blur of a combining team of Dinobots it's only non canon until it happens.
Of course that's not what happened. Which is also fine.
Ya'll know what the biggest irony is? The storyline of the Selects manga has so far been adding in so much new material to the Japanese G1 lore that they absolutely could find a way to work in a new addition to Halfshell's crew.ZeroWolf wrote:Depends on how Takara want to do it, they may just want to keep it as the team was in BW2 and not rock the boat too much or they can just throw the reveal of a lobclaw in BW2 colours out later.

His pose? His colors making for a better silhouette? Sea Phantom as an arm in place of Lobclaw? The lack of the sixth member providing less clutter to his look?JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:OK, can someone explain to me why God Neptune looks proportionally better than King Poseidon, despite being made from the same molds?

Although, in the cartoon, they treated themselves as an independent faction, much like Insectrons who likewise viewed themselves as neither Maximal nor Predacon (despite their toys being marketed as the former).Skritz wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Also doesn't hurt that he's a Beast Wars Pred.Skritz wrote:And yes, I'm such a sucker for beast modes and combiners that I'm considering God Neptune.
You bet that if I get him he's getting some reprolabels sticks to display those BW icons.
