Has Inferno's forearm been retooled to accommodate a Prime Master, or is he holding a combiner foot with the gun plugged into that? I think the later, but what do you all see?
I'm not so curfuffled over the re-release of this mold, and I like the looks of the new head sculpt for robot mode, but I do wish they had given the torso a new combiner head.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Can we all agree that Hungrr is a retooled Silverbolt? It seems so obvious.

Is this the first confirmation of Elita One? This feels like it should be bigger news.

We all agreed from the very first leak/pic.
Even the beast mode is only silverbolt on fours.

An I'm with Scotty, it really isn't a retool. It's just shared engineering, not shared molds.megatronus wrote:ExciKaiser wrote:megatronus wrote:Can we all agree that Hungrr is a retooled Silverbolt? It seems so obvious.

A Retool is a toy that has been created by modifying an existing mold to give it new features. This enables companies to create new toys without producing an entirely new mold from scratch.

Not quite, what Hun-Gurr uses for front beast legs doesn't exist on Silverbolt. They had to add parts for the front beast legs since Silverbolt/Hun-Gurr's robot legs become his dragon heads.

Hoping we still get that wreck gar repaint of Groove to cover the leg limbs in proper G2 colors along with Funpub bluestreak as a stand in for streetwise. First Aid is about the same in white. And unfortunately we dont get a all dark blue copter but Alpha Bravo will finally have a purpose to exist.

Is Sandstorm a retool of Springer?
The consensus is yes.

If the glove fits, you must acquit!

No, that is NOT the definition of a retool, it never was.
Here is the ONLY definition for a retool that is legitimate:A Retool is a toy that has been created by modifying an existing mold to give it new features. This enables companies to create new toys without producing an entirely new mold from scratch.
Any definition beyond that is entirely particular to you as a fan and in no way legitimate. That is the definition for Hasbro and the toy industry. Notice 0 mention of shared parts. And even then, all combiner components have a shared part, the combiner ports, so those fan definitions are still utterly useless.
A mold can be modified entirely and it would still be a retool. And TF molds have a bunch of pieces, so it could be they use the mold for some pieces, modify them and then add other new pieces. There is still a retooled element in there.
The main idea is that a toy must come from an existing mold and since we all have 0 clue as to what went on in the background at hasrbo (like, did they take the silverbolt mold and tweak it totally, or did they never look at silverbolt and just make this guy from scratch) then NONE of us have the answer and NONE of us are right or can affirm to be right over an other. That is why this discussion is so **** tedious every **** time. There is no answer, its what you think.
So, short story, if you think its a retool, then its a retool. If you dont, then it isnt, TO YOU.
