Thus he's not really a character that resonates with me and I don't need every bot made, and I don't really care for how thick the body design is under the "Jet" part. Just throws off the aesthetics when in alt mode IMO. Though I might get him if I see him on a sale because his bot mode ain't too bad.
I'm not into Prime series design at all, so none of those are ever going to interest me.

The second image features an outline done by the great marcelomatere when the prime redesigns were decided upon before we started Legacy. Since there was mixed feedback on Arcee and Bulkhead I decided to take a swing.
And, shockingly, Metalhawk and the Masterforce Pretenders all got a shout-out in one of the Marvel UK letters pages (in the first question):ZeroWolf wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Don't forget all the Malaysian kids who watched the Omni Productions dub.ZeroWolf wrote:Unless you were Japanese (or had someone in Japan sending you tapes) you wouldn't have seen Metalhawk in the 80s anyway as his series, super god masterforce, wasn't officially subbed till the 00s (fan subs filled the void before then)
Ah yes, how could I have forgotten those dubs

I've said for a while that the whole two year production schedule isn't really a thing anymore. Sure, they plan lines long in advance and probably already have a solid idea of what they're doing in 2025, but they can also do things like overhauling War for Cybertron part 3 in record time and not just produce Kingdom but also SS86.

Since when does the two years go from concept to release? It's supposed to be from concept to production.

I thought it was from concept to release. Hasbro would use the two years to talk of toys they were revealing ("we started working on these two years ago, and here they are now" type thing), often times not far from actual release.
