Nobody here really knows psj. We are not on the design committee for the transformers and we don't have any insider info into what each con turns into. And while assumptions can be made, we should not actually attempt to say stuff is fact.

As for the toys:

Megatronus needs a picture to the name, as do others such as quillfire and Fracture. I want these guys, I just need to see that they are worth me getting

If not, could he be something else? After all, he is a ladybug larva in robot form. From what we know is that since Makeshift has a body similar to that of Megatron (if his body was ever shown, he would certainly be an altered version of Megatron's Cybertronian jet mode).

Malador and Nightstrike's altmodes were never shown, but many believed that Malador turns into a muscle car and Nightstrike turns into some sort of a plane.

Dude why won't you just drop it? Please it's getting really annoying and it's preventing the thread from progressing Because you just won't let it die. I'm not trying to be mean but christ. :BANG_HEAD:

These talks of pseudo and any other fiction related talk should be in the fiction thread instead:

Any more conversation of the sort will be either sent there or deleted. You have been warned. And to those that are annoyed by users derailing or going off topic, I recommend not encouraging them or replying. There is no need to reply to this post either.

Please carry on and have fun talking about the toys

I got an email from Hasbro and other than some stuff they want to sell me they have a web based 2 on 2 soccer game staring everyone's favorite new mini-cons.

Ya know what would be fun? A puzzle game like Candy Crush and Marvel Puzzle Quest but with a Transformers theme. The Mini-Cons could be the tiles you move. Darn it, now that I've thought about it I really want it.

Hey folks, Im not sure if this has been asked or answered previously but a quick search on the almighty powerful Gooooooogle didnt seem to answer my question:

DSCN5122 (480x640).jpg

Why does Deluxe Strongarm have a flip down chest?
There is moulded detail underneath and a 5mm hole which something could plug into, but what and why? :-?

Im trying not answer my own question but the hole has a screw deep within which I guess connects the upper torso to the alt mode backpack kibble.
I dont belive that is the only reason for them to go all out creating not only a chect plate with hinge and excessive moulded detail around a handy 5mm port/hole. [-(

Could this be for a future retool of the mould, swapping out the chest plate for a new moulded part or perhaps some sort of a mini-con adapter? :BOOM:

Wow, is that it? Under vehicle weapon storage!

They sure went a long way to provide a 5mm hole didnt they!
Surely a simple hole in her butt would have sufficed saving a ton of Shanix plus it would have offered the fandom a world of jokes based around her butt and what could be plugged into it?

Maybe Hasbro doesn't make toys for perverts. :lol:

I can kind of agree with sentiment of having a 5mm hole put into her behind instead of going to the trouble of making the chest flip down to reveal one (unless the unflipped chest causes some undercarriage clearance issues and needs to be flipped to allow better vehicle rolling, but I digress) since such a hole would enable Strongarm to be attached to one of those display stands that lift a figure off the ground to allow mid-air poses and action stances.

The AOE molds were like this and those who owned the aforementioned stands were able to make some dynamic action poses to varying degrees. Ryan's own galleries provide several examples of such.

This was the intention for Sideswipe's flipping chest although it failed at that.

Seibertron.com staff member william-james88 has come across an interesting bunch of shots in the weird and wonderful world of TaoBao, the Chinese auction site. What the listing seems to show is the first look at the Warrior class Fracture from the Robots in Diguise line, or at least its prototype, in both motorbike and robot mode. Take a look at the mirrored images below, and let us know what you think - intrigued enough?

Well.....at least it's different from the one step trike we've had so far!

I want him like that instead of purple.

How long before they give him a new head and call him Wreck-gar? In a Japanese 2-pack perhaps?

This will be the 2nd figure that I get from this line. I quite like him!

Huh, this actually looks pretty good. I might get this and buy Animated Oil Slick and Cybertron Ransack to go with him and form a little Decepticon biker gang.

Don't forget Brimstone/Chopsaw.

Something interesting is going on with Fracture's weapon. It appears to have a handle midway and maybe a pivot point. I'm thinking it folds in half to make an exhaust.
