Looking so very forward to the constructicons. Hoping for the twins to be revealed next in both ice cream truck mode and in their Chevy modes. Hasbro have been toying around with duocons as of late so it'd be fantastic to see the twins get updates.

I'd actually like to see the Ice cream truck twins get a voyager mold I have/ had (I don't know where it is, I think it broke) the original deluxe figure and it's a bit small and fiddly, and as the Twins are deluxe class figures individually, logically their form with a combined vehicle mode should be voyager class, or some sort of standalone box set like the Jet Twins in the Animated line.
Also, when I previously asked why TFWiki haven't acknowledged the existence of the voyager Optimus from the Bumblebee movie, I was told it's because HasTak have yet to officially announce it. Well what the heck are the waiting for? We all know it exists, it's been reviewed, at this rate it's going to actually be available for purchase before they do! Yes I know I said this previously.

This cannot stressed enough: TFWiki does not and will never condone, support, or advocate the promotion of STOLEN toys/merchandise. That's how all these early leaks happen before Hasbro's official reveals. Thievery is not an acceptable medium through which new merchandise gets add to the Wiki.Agent 53 wrote:Also, when I previously asked why TFWiki haven't acknowledged the existence of the voyager Optimus from the Bumblebee movie, I was told it's because HasTak have yet to officially announce it.

That's because the design philosophy has changed with Siege wanting cartoon accurate robot modes and adhering to a G1 cartoon scale.

Also, there's an upper limit to the mass of plastic that can be used in any given size class. This has been the case ever since size classes were formally created with the launch of Beast Wars and it isn't going away. Magnus having a Voyager-size cab robot leaves less mass for the trailer, which results in smaller armor. Doing his armor at its full size relative to a Voyager cab would require a Supreme-class toy.

This is what I was arguing about earlier. And yes, that new "Movie" Optimus is even more "Chuggier" than the 2007 Cybertron repaints.
If you could have seen the video that was taken down, he compared the size with Evasion Optimus. He's about the same size as him. Maybe a few millimeters bigger overall but not by much. I guesstimate that he'll be as big as the Siege one.

The original voyager, of course.

I have Jetfire coming this week (I still can't find SS32 Prime for sale anywhere yet for some reason) and I have SS05 Prime but really that piece isn't for that older Prime at all (completely different chest and ab area), just SS32 but I'm not sure why as the only video I saw it swapped out for was in japanese or something so I couldn't understand the explanation if any.
Wasn't actually planning to get Jetfire yet as spent too much lately and was thinking about cutting down my Studio collection of non-essential characters since my enthusiasm for it all has been dampened with ss38 (still think that SS38 Prime looks like blocky junk. Absolutely hate the torso especially. Same old boring boxy G1 angles. No creativity or style at all. But it's also what it represents that pisses me off too. Damn G1 in my movieverse). But then I saw a review video and Jetfire looks bloody gorgeous for an old grandad bot so I have to see it in person and see if I like it and if I don't I can just sell it on. Been selling off what few G1 and G1-update TF figures I still had in the past couple weeks anyways so it's not hurting the bank balance too much at moment.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

And honestly for designs neither Micheal Bay or Travis Knight is superior or inferior over the other because designs and how good they are is subjective compared to say the script writing of a movie for example.
Overall I think the DOTM Soundwave design is cool, just not as Soundwave himself (besides the awesome arms)
