Autobot N wrote:John Warden and his team are known for not liking Beast Wars. Why in the world would they rig a vote in favor of a character they didn't want to make? Plus, with the aura of mystery and the wild-card thing, it was pretty obvious they wanted Deathsaurus to win. As for votes, it's easy to explain Primal's victory. The G1 vote was split between 3 different characters (Magnus, SS, and Deathsaurus), whereas Beast Wars fans could all unite behind a single character.Galactic Prime wrote:I still think that vote was rigged, no way there's that many Optimus Primal fansOr maybe they had done design work on all 3, and just continued working on the one that won. I find it hard to believe that Trypticon was always planned to be the second TR titan, since both Omega and Scorponok would have made more sense in a Headmaster-oriented line.Rodimus Prime wrote:Just like the Trypticon vote a couple of years ago. The figure was already planned out and *surprise!* it won the vote. All these polls are rigged according to what the company wants. I do think there are a lot of Op fans out there, too bad Hasbro doesn't leave anything up to the fandom.

You may be able to finagle something resembling a jet by straightening out the arms and collapsing the legs, but no truck mode due to the lack of wheels, working or not.

mordhelm wrote:Technically, Will is correct here. We had incomplete combiners in CW. If you only include Hasbro releases (which includes exclusives/May Mayhem) you have the following:
Deluxes:
6 Waves of 4 Deluxe figures each = 24
3 "New Character" Boxsets (Computron, Victorion, Liokaiser) with 4 new Deluxe figures each = 12
3 May Mayhem exclusives = 3
39 Separate Deluxe Characters. Enough for
Voyagers
9 Primary Release (8 if you decide Battle Core OP is the same as regular OP)
3 Boxset Release
12 Total. Deluxes needed = 48
Now for those of you suggesting that we need to include the TFSS/FubPub figures (I personally do NOT), here is what I see:
FunPub
8 Deluxe (4 with Predacus + Unit 3 + Medix + Ratchet + Terrorsaur), 7 if you decide Ratchet/Medix are the same character
1 Voyager
TFSS
9 Deluxe (6 series 4, 3 Series 5)
2 Voyager (1 in each of 4 and 5)
That brings us to 55/56 deluxes (56 if Medix is a separate character). Enough for either 14 combiners or 13 with 3 leftover limbs
And we have 15 distinct voyagers. Again, the only way the math works is if you stipulate that Battle Core OP is not a separate distinct version, and that Medix is a separate distinct version (even though the differences between the OPs and the Ratchet versions sways in favor of OP).
TL;DR: You can complete the sets however you choose, but the Hasbro produced line had mismatching sets. Personally, the subscription figures and the FunPub figures were just not worth the ridiculous prices.
My hope is that Has/Tak gives us an even number of distinct combiner limb figures by the end of this line (including exclusives/sets). At the very least it means I can have several complete combiners, and toss some different feet on LG-42.

The robot head's been switched out, which is standard for Legends Class. And no clear plastic to worry about.

Was that really a 'thing' that people got bothered? Is that important to the 'identity' and design of a toy? Like I know it popped up a bit when the Dinobots got revealed.

I'd love to see Hasbro do 'something crazy' and have a line of redesigned character. We are due for a shakeup once again, I think after the Animated-to-Aligned era seems to have fossilized characters into a specific 'evergreen' design. Sadly it will not happen. Hasbro has been clearly set on sticking to the most boring, safe and marketable designs.

We've had a blue g1-styled ironhide:
Considering how it's designed, with the battle sled, I'd say it's more 'g1' than anything Warden's crew can put out
