Is there any chance this is happening because Go Shooter is in the mainline under a Westernized name, and Siren is a Selects release from that mold?Emerje wrote:Autobot N wrote:A new drop from the main TFW leaker says the Headmaster Juniors are coming (Nightbeat and Hosehead in mainline, Siren as Selects).

That's basically saying Siren is a retool of Nightbeat then. Shame, they're nothing alike, it would take a lot more than a new Headmaster to make Siren work.
Should make a new body Siren at retail and then Minerva and Go Shooter can be Selects.

Which is probably too much of a retool to expect from Selects.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:It's not their looks that really matter, but rather how they transform. In that sense, Siren and Nightbeat are identical, but flipped back-to-front. Kinda like CW Onslaught vs. CW Hot Spot. Even then, new chest, head and light bar, presto.
If Hasbro doesn't do a Minerva (there's a decent possibility they do one, she's no more obscure than the Diaclone repaints, Powerdashers, and Red Wing), I would seriously consider buying an extra Nightbeat and paying someone to customize it into Minerva.o.supreme wrote:Speaking of Selects, because Hosehead and his Masterforce counterpart (Cab), are virtually identical, I cant see them doing a selects release of that character, however Shuta and Minerva from Siren and Nightbeat, I think would be a slam dunk.

Not if they're switch-out molds like Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are. Hasbro is limited to what's already designed and produced.

New molds, most likely. Like how Apeface and Snapdragon were new molds but still had Titan Master compatibility.Rysquad wrote:Autobot N wrote:A new drop from the main TFW leaker says the Headmaster Juniors are coming (Nightbeat and Hosehead in mainline, Siren as Selects).

Remold/Retools of Titans Returns figures?

Personally I'm excited to see if they're continuing the aesthetics established in WFC, or if it's going to be a bit more like Prime Wars where it had nods to the originals, but was functionally an update. I'm fine with either approach for most characters, but there are some where I'd prefer HasTak to take cues from Studio Ox/IDW (specifically the Stunticons)
Shame all that got shut down, there was good stuff going on over there. I've been lurking leaks on TFW and reposting them here since Earthrise just to try to keep as many people informed and excited as possible, so I saw both leak threads and they were a heck of an experience as an outsider looking in.wreckgar38+1 wrote:Oh jeez, it's been ages since I last used this site, but leak talk got shut down elsewhere.

-Hopefully UT stuff at some point, as that was my G1 equivalent and last I saw it mentioned was "it's supposed to be happening sooner rather than later but we don't know who/what it is"

Is it a wish of yours, or do you have some Nostradamus skills?
Regardless, I'm down for a voyager Breakaway. The OG deluxe was pretty damn fine with an unique bot mode. Like a enhanced Gerwalk. Seeing the thing improved with modern engineering with voyager size and budget will make the thing very interesting.
Pretty sure that this is one of the TFW leakers coming over here (either that, or someone impersonating him).-Kanrabat- wrote:wreckgar38+1 wrote:

Assuming he's the real deal, I am very pleased about the confirmation of Breakaway.
