I honestly half expect we'll see Red Convobat eventually (Showdown in the Amazon variant) with purple Megaligator. The red one was indicated as G1 Optimus himself on his original bio card.

I think Hasbro so far missed a trick by not releasing a Bat Optimus but I'm not sure the eHobby figure means they won't.

That said, Voyager Apeface as some version of Primal is probably a surer redeco.

Would've rather they have used some of their advertising budgets to make the toys look more like the artwork.

Or even repaint Galvatron as Energon Megatron, coz his jet mode would deffo work there & after all....CW did give us an Armada Megatron

If they do that, they could correct the sins of the past and actually call him Energon Galvatron instead, since he was always Galvatron in that body in Japan and it was a pretty obvious Galvatron homage.

He's a mix of both. He had G1 Megatron's domed head, just with a Galvatron-like crown.



But they would most likely call it "Energon Megatron" for consistency sake like they did "Armada Megatron".

Isnt he leading the sweeps and shooting at Optimus? Anyways, at my TRU he is currently there with all of them. I think he has been reissued as part of the last wave of CW leaders (probably a revision wave).

My Walmart had a box labeled Titans Return Leader Class with a Starscream in it last night. It was CW Starscream although I didn't check the box to see if they'd updated the packaging.

.

Did you look at the back of the box?

That's like the only good Galvatron mold re-use idea I've seen.

Ok...how about this i found on Twitter

AstroFortMaxTrain?

Galavtron's head makes for a pretty convincing Gigatron.

Dat's pretty!

WOW! it even gets an approval by the Big Yin

Energon was a fun toyline. That digibash of Galvatron into Energon Megatron really is swish!

So I finally got my 3 cassettes today, and now, I'm seriously wondering where the hell hasbro's qc department went, because none of the 3 tab together in cassette mode, to the point where I don't think they'll even fit in soundwave without getting jammed.

I can honestly say that, apart from wheelie and rewind and the titan masters, every tr figure that I've purchased has had some measure of noticeable and detrimental qc issue, it's f%&king bull#$%&

Yup, rewinds great, love his rectangle mode, rumble just sits there, because his legs don't lock together in rectangle and tank mode

How long ago did Hasbro move its manufacturing from China to Vietnam? Because it might have been left behind.

Production was moved starting with the RID and CW line.

I really hope they start doing voyager seekers soon. I know none are on the docket for the remainder of TR, but that's the next bastion. It would be the best size for me. I can handle SW as a leader for fun, even if he also should be voyager, but on the whole...

Voyager conehead seekers would be cool. The cone could be a helmet that slides over the titan master to make the head larger and achieve the look.

Which is paradoxical as the rid figures are some of the best figures that I own, almost (like 65%) cybertron level quality, they've all been quite satisfactory

So, does anyone know what this slot on the screen of ravage is for?

Could it be a port for a cable?
Blaster has ports in the back of boom box mode, for a couple different kind of cables.
Looking at my Ravage, I don't have any cables that would fit that.

You also, likely wouldn't jam the cord straight into the screen
