Don't give us false hopes, lol.
He's probably a voyager because they can retool him into something else.
I wish you were right, though.

Hard to say since Override didn't happen the way they expected her to (we've all heard the story) and Metroplex likely only happened out of necessity, but thankfully they did a great job on him. I think they've definitely reevaluated any previous plans considering how popular the first two have been. I would personally love to see them take another stab at Evac because his arm propeller really gets in the way and legs and feet are weird. Can't imagine them doing Scourge better, he's even better now that the scale and shrunk and he's such a big figure.

Hasbro initially pitched and planned for Override to be a heavy retool of Hot Rod, Takara instead countered that by figuring out a way to make an entirely new mold for her with the budget of a retool (she only uses 4 mold-sprues instead of the 12 or so other Voyagers do).Tracytron54321 wrote:Emerje wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I wonder if we'll get the other 2 planet leaders from Cybertron.

Same thing happened with Cosmos, he was gonna be a retool of Origins Bee.

We'll see just how much that price rises with this new image showing that Transmetal II Dragon Megatron scales perfectly with him. We have the show scale chart below that you can compare to. We have other images of Dragon Megatron from Sam Smith's Instagram page and you can find those below. In other Transformers Legacy news, there's now a review for Legacy Pointblank and Peacemaker. You can see it below.

"Deluxe Legacy Pointblank and his Targetmaster Peacemaker are finally here to hop into your collection! . Had to break out my mint Crosshairs to showcase how both of these bots looked together.
I had the pleasure of doing the deco for Crosshairs and I was kinda bummed I wasn’t able to get Pinpointer in there. This time around since I lead the design of this guy I thought it was essential to add in Peacemaker. I soon realized how cost challenging it was to include a target master at a Deluxe scale and pricepoint. . The first image is my own redraw concept art of Pointblank and Peacemaker. Ive been really using alot of reference art that everyone already knows and loves, especially with tight schedules, they seem to be great for kicking off the project. You can see the reuse of the comics art alt mode here was perfect to use. I absolutely love this rendition of his cybertronian race car alt mode.
Hasui san took the reigns and made the great suggestion of doing the fin styled head that was never made in toyform. Anything that is in the g1 cartoon is a go for me even if its from the later seasons. . You can see an additional weapon engine accessory was costed out along with a bunch of other comments made to fine tune this guy. Hasui really had so many tweaks in order to fix up this guy, I just couldn’t find a way to showcase them all here. I added my comments to ensure we were aligned on trying to make this the best version of Pointblank ever.
You can see the targetmaster is blast effect compatible. There is elbow swivel on Pointblank for those that have been asking, but the articulation range on this guy really gives you a plethora of posing options and is really fun to tinker with. The arm transformation was a treat and I can’t wait for yall to get these guys!
Have a great weekend and thank you all for bringing your passion and support to the Transformers universe!"
