I will go berserk with glee if we get an updated, upsized HM WFC Megatron. I love that design so much. Cripes, I wonder if this has any bearing on a possible relisting of those games on Steam?

Que and Devcon this round for me. Devcon is the only one I've voted on from the start.

That is one theory going around, especially when Hasbro said they've got a big announcement with new artwork coming to Pulsecon.

Que and Devcon, easy picks. I have voted for both from the get go

[william-james88]

While these toys have been available on Amazon and fans have had them in their collections for a good while, they have only been found in big box stores recently. We wanted to give you a heads up to those who still prefer to hunt for toys at retail. The sighting below comes from Jason who wrote to us with an image.

On Monday 9/21 I went into the Target in Tyler, TX and they had a single each of SS Thundercracker, SS Galvatron, SS Sideways, and the SS Bumblebee.

Below is a review of Galvatron and Thundercracker for those who want to know more about the toys.

[LordBludgeon]

Oh, if I knew this would be news I would have reported it too. I found mine on 9/13 at a Target in Beverly, MA. They didn't have Thundercracker, but I did grab Bee and Galvatron.

Devcon: 54%

Yay, it isn't Megatron vs Optimus.

Excellent new. I have a feeling Que is going to win it all, he probably is the #1 guy needed, since he is the only DotM Autobot not yet made (unless you want a DotM Ironhide with new guns, which I do, but his other SS toy still counts there for me).

the others who most need done are parts of teams, so I feel Que is the best choice overall.

[Sabrblade]

On the other hand, Que has at least had toys, whereas Devcon has never gotten a toy.

[Rodimus Prime]

Except BotCon 2014. But that was an exclusive. And G1.

Do you see G1 Devcon or DOTM Devcon in this poll?

[Hellscream9999]

Yo, was that his name? I loved that design, I would greatly love a huge leader class figure of that guy!

[LinaNui]

Just noticed that the Autobot 5 pack has a release date of 9/23! Hopefully mine will ship then too! So excited for this!

Also my vote goes to Que is that is still open. I love devcon's design and all, but I need a Que in my collection already.

WHOA, huge Buzzworthy announcement!

SS-44 reissue

NEST Ratchet repaint
https://www.target.com/p/transformers-s ... A-86524773
NEST Bonecrusher repaint
https://www.target.com/p/transformers-s ... nk=sametab

[o.supreme]

ok so we know NEST Bonecrusher (95BB) is a repaint of SS33. But I cant tell the Ratchet's apart. Which one is NEST Ratchet (96BB) a repaint of?

Also, I guess SS is currently unknown ?

Since NEST Ratchet includes the gun, he’s technically a repaint of SS16 DOTM Ratchet, though both Ratchets are the same mold, just repainted with different weapons.

Man, this is so cool! SS-44 desperately needed a rerelease (so excited that more people can get him now!), and the NEST repaints look awesome! I’m buying Ratchet on sight and Bonecrusher’s actually looking really good too!

[o.supreme]

Thanks. I figured they were the same except for weapons, but I'm no SS expert so I just wanted to make sure.

So...does anyone think SS100 is going to be something special, or just another entry in the series?

I Mean they still have AoE Optimus (2 versions), and TLK Optimus, not to mention TLK Megatron still yet to be made. I was kind of thinking they might save The Fallen for #100, bit obviously not.

Of course it could just be another random entry, maybe Hasbro won't do anything special.

My vote is for a Knights of Cybertron deluxe 12 pack that all combine to make Dragonstorm only $300

Actually, unironically, that might make a good Haslab project, except it would probably be more like $400 because it would be a one time use tooling expense.

[-Kanrabat-]

Bonecrusher in black will be BOSS! I want it.

Also, SS-44 Leader OP reissue? F YEAH!
Too bad those will be a Toys R Us with their price gouging, but it's still better than paying those absurd eBay prices.

Yeah I got the notice from Amazon that the 5-pack is shipping early and I got charged for it. Can't wait!

My guess is SS100 will be nothing more special than any other SS release

I would buy/back this in a heartbeat. Heck, I would get 2 of it!

I concur, especially if you count ss86 as part of the line (which we know Hasbro do) then we've already gone over that number.

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Alright everyone, the finale is here! Que takes on Devcon in a DOTM Showdown - one shall stand, one shall fall!

[ZeroWolf]

I put Devcon but I think Que will win
