hmmm, maybe they could repaint Megatron/Blitzwing as Flywheels(Skytread) main body for the head to attach to

I'm hoping that if Hasbro is smart enough, they'll keep the purple highlights/accents on a possible Blitzwing to a relative minimum, so people can make their own skywheels figure, if they so choose - be an incredibly smart business strategy in order to get the collectors that already bought and are happy with gen blitzy, to shell out for another iteration of blitzwing plus an additional titan master

Or they'd get criticised and lose sales for not having enough paint apps

Well, they don't have to do the highlights in purple, so maybe grey/silver or an accent color that accentuates both characters...

Aye, true

Exactly my wishes. I wish upon a wish upon a star

Well mine is Overlord, Sixshot & TRypticon(god i hope we get more pics of him soon )

Overlord is definitely my most anticipated figure, since I know I will probably never own the G1 version.

I'm with you on Trypticon. With the few episodes of The Headmasters that I've seen I'm wanting a Sixshot. And is that R in Trypticon capitalized on purpose?

Sixshot is my most anticipated. I have loved that character and I want a good six-changer like that

It'd be nice to have a MTMTE antagonist who isn't solely reliant on third parties (DJD), an alien (galactic council), or a redeco (Getaway). So Overlord is definitely up there on the want list.

... the, uh. Want-but-will-probably-not-get-for-a-while-because-money-and-space list.

I'm wondering if they will bring back Sixshot soon too. The last time we saw him was right at the beginning of AHM chronologically and he was badly damaged but still alive, so wonder if he'll show back up soon. and if so, MTMTE might be a good spot for him to show up in too

the only version that i have is IF's Evil Lord

I would love it if the Brainmasters all got generations toys. I would scoop those 4 up like they were Neapolitan ice cream.... with an extra flavor

He's one of my anticipated possible Decepticon leaders since Tarn and Galvatron both kicked the bucket. Others on the list include...
-Scorponok who has been mysteriously absent despite Garrus-9 being opened up
-Deathsaurus and Nickel for obvious reasons
-Onslaught if he survived TAAO
-BW Megatron as a new character. Bit out of left field, but there's many reasons for this - he's an amazing villain and I'd love to see IDW use him (bit biased), there's probably an MP BW Megatron coming so he'd have a toy to advertise, AND it means that Hasbro can be pleased having a guy called Megatron as the villain so they don't feel tempted to tell IDW to switch Automegs back.
-Tailpipe and Hyper-somebody. The only known crew members of Nova Prime's Ark not yet seen in the modern day - surely they're up to something. Surely.

I wouldn't have minded of seeing a Quickswitch too! the only figure that comes close to two of his vehicle modes, is Nightbeat(drilltank & jet)

Rumours say Quickswitch will be a Sixshot redeco. Which doesn't fit at all but hey.

Considering the content of characters involved with this line (headmasters, targetmasters, season 3 crew, powermasters, Headmaster cartoon guys) I would not put such characters like that out of shot. This line is awesome for sort of under-represented characters

Everytime I see someone end a sentence with "hey" I think of emgo

YES TO THIS. They've brought so many other BW guys into IDW it would be a shame to not have him. They could rename him, or they could say he looked at the war records and chose to rename himself similar to BW Megatron in the show, just find a way to include his magnificence. And his rubber ducky.

Yes Please.

Wonder how they will handle that BTW since he and Primal were very much absent for the Beast Wars parts of said comics so far.

There was a Blurr on the shelf packaged the same way. The other Scourge did not have the elastic band and tapping on the package I could tell it had the "bobblehead" connection. The packaging information on the bottom was the same so unless someone here can tell us otherwise I'm guessing Hasbro made a quick-change with their packaging. But I don't know so I figured I'd let you know what I saw.

Speaking of Scourge, i wouldn't mind him painted like this

I know I'm a little late on the blitzwing/flywheels thing but I kinda hope that they go the platinum color route with blitzwing that way we'd have a good flywheels body and there would already be precedent for blitzwing in those colors. And Takara will undoubtedly go proper blitzwing colors so it's a win/win as far as I'm concerned.

I want an inexpensive Blitzwing, and so do most fans. Blitzwing's a more popular character than Flywheels here in the U.S., so I would imagine more that Blitzwing would be turned into Flywheels for the Asian market.

I back this as well. I definitely would love this.

Megatron from Bast Wars was not the Megatron from G1 btw. He called himself Megatron after the old Megatron he idolized. Having a Beast Wars Megatron in the comics along with the original Megatron might in fact work. Who knows? Galvatron might even become dino Megs.

I'm confused. Is Flywheels more popular in Asian fandom than Blitzwing?
