I've been calling him Extinction.

Volcanus would have work nicely for the dino's, as would Extintion.

Personally, I'd be trying to create Megascream from the deviations comic.

So can anyone who owns him tell me what the text underneath the Autobot symbol on Jazz's door says? It's pretty tiny and I can't tell what it says from the low-res image, but I'd be interested to see what fun reference they squeezed in there.

Uh, yeah, it's Make America Great Again. Not even joking

That is absolutely perfect. I now need this toy. I don't even think it makes a particularly good Jazz but I'm still going to buy it.

Though perhaps it actually stands for "Make Autobots Good Again" in reference to IDW making large amounts of Autobots villainous or morally questionable? Perhaps Jazz just doesn't like the comics very much?

Oh who am I kidding, this is hilarious. Allspark is going to blow a fuse. :michaelbay:

Well THAT will certainly in no way invite a horrible **** storm in any shape or form. *sighs*. Business as usual today, isn't it? >:oP

Granted if it is 'Make Autobots Good Again' I'll laugh because that one is actually decently clever and funny after years of comics have slowly made the Autobots more and more morally questionable, culminating in the mess which was Sentinel Prime. I get it, the idea of an 'evil Autobot' and certainly an 'evil Prime' has appeal but at this point it has reached such critical mass that, inbetween the douchey Autobots of the bay movies, Murder-Prime and the fact nearly every single new Prime in any continuity not named Optimus has been evil (Nova Prime, Animated Sentinel, Movie Sentinel, Comic Sentinel and Zeta and if you want to stretch, Longarm Prime being Shockwave) that at this point it's becoming more common for good Autobots to be the minority and exception that I'm starting to think the current crop of Transformers writers are Decepticon apologist, much like how modern UC Gundam is written by Zeon fanboys who think the Federation are bad guys when the original authorial intent wasn't that.

But this is not the thread to discuss this, I'm aware.

Are you angry at myself for posting it or Hasbro for letting it fly?

I want Jazz, now. :-P

I'm hoping we get a heads-up on Pretender/Prime Masters soon...

: Dread or Alive

I'm not angry at you, I'm just aware that any mention of the subject matter is to invite controversy no matter how it is approached.

Let's be real though, this is pretty much a nontroversy. It's a joke at the expense of people who take their Super Deformation Robos way too seriously. I highly doubt any child (or anyone other than Wikidwellers so far up their own backside they can see their teeth) will honestly have their enjoyment of the toy hindered by a very subtle (not to mention miniscule) gag on the part of some bored Hasbro employee.

Yeah I feel the same but I know some people won't. Controversies have been drummed over far less, however.

I know it's been said before but I really wish we would have gotten 'proper' figures of the Thirteen, even if they had just been retools in some shape or form. I sure as hell would want a Prima figure, preferably some halfway point between his old G1 design and his Aligned design (which has better, more fitting colors).

You and me both. As it stands I have a list of planned stand-ins.

Onyx Prime: Cybertron Scourge, or perhaps Prime Predaking?
Megatronus Prime/The Fallen: Possibly Voyager TLK Megatron.
Liege Maximo: Honestly I don't know. I was initially thinking TLK Megs but it suits the Fallen better (better, ironically, than any actual Fallen figure). Whatever he ends up being he'll resemble his original G2 form and not the "Loki EXCEPT A ROBOT LOLOLOLOL" modern incarnation.
Vector Prime: The old Cybertron figure. It's aged very well and looks awesome.
Alchemist Prime: Some form of Toxitron (in my demented headcanon Toxitron is actually Alchemist Prime, long since deceased, resurrected and enslaved by Liege Maximo).
Solus Prime: I honestly have no idea. Probably a custom.
Amalgamous Prime: N/A, he's a big ol' blob of technogubbins.
Nexus Maximus Prime: A dil...Erm, I mean, a custom combiner assuming we don't get an official release.
Quintus Prime: Energon Alpha Quintesson.
Prima: Some kind of custom based on...something. I dunno.
Micronus Prime: Something very, very small. Possibly the actual Micronus Prime PM figure as it's miniscule.
Alpha Trion: The TR figure.
The Mysterious 13th Prime: None, because he is a mystery and demystification is the bane of good storytelling, even in a silly collection headcanon.
