Why not a "new" Pretender shell? I wouldn't hold my hopes up though. The window of opportunity for a Metrotitan is long past. Grandmax? A shot in the dark, especially for Takara.
Wait, why
especially for Takara? I'm not a rampant "TAKARA IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN HASBRO" fangirl or anything but like, if either would be more likely to do it, Takara would seem the more likely one.
I do agree in general it's not gonna happen either way tho. I just get caught up on pedantic stuff like that
Takara always do what Hb don't.
To name a few example:
iPod Optimus used an articulated, remolded head for the G1 Convoy. Also adding a very nice paint job finish on him
G1 BB x2 had the anime head
Different "heads" for the HM Legends series.
As you yourself stated, Takara would most likely do what Hb won't (Trypticon G1 and Piranacon and CW Groove (so I now wonder what is the backstory with Groove having two incarnations in the CW line) being the exception). I was already half expecting a Metrotitan repaint a few years back but I had a hunch this wouldn't happen based on the Metrowars manga. Metroplex had his size doubled while Metrotitan remained in his default size.
Either they, Takara are nuts by releasing stuff we don't get to see domestically or know something we don't.
