Agreed. The fact that one of these actually came true is a very scary sign that we should all be careful what we "wish" for because we might get exactly that.

Except for the fact that it didn't come true the arms are the only thing remotely close to Deadend.

That's Loudmouth (/Siren), not Scourge.
Yeah, sometimes I'm a bit nitpicky

ah right, sorry, i think it were someone's suggestion of who the mold was, from The Allspark, someone else suggested Loudmouth/Siren head but Horri-Bull body mold.

Which one did we get?

Uhhhhhh dude?


The body is Scourge you know so he is right.

Your right about his head being Loudmouth.

We went over this before now that we actually have the facts. Hasbro explicitly confirmed that Takara based Chromedome off the Dead End mold. They changed it, of course, but that was their basis. It shares no parts, but make no mistake that Chromedome is based on the Dead End mold and that is all I meant by saying that yes, in the end, one of the stunticons was used for the Cromedome we got. His mold has new parts but it's NOT original. It was purposefully copied and then changed. And I dont want that **** for Dinobots. Those molds better be new and not copied from previous toys.

Uh, totally missed that. I paid absolutely no attention to the body when I saw the head and the dino head behind it.

Why? Legends class Skrapnel already came with a Reflector. A unique mold one, at that.

To be fair maybe it's for the sake of having a bigger Reflector then the Minicon sized one which is nice.


Plus remember Shopshop and how he got a remold of Scrapnel after he got a unique minicon sized mold?

Why do you even have to explain this???

A decent Reflector is way pass due! I personally would've preferred a new mold where 3 Legend class bots combined into something modern but still had that G1 soul but this this is Hasbro.... So if the rumor is true I wonder how much they'll milk it for. Will we see Viewfinder, Spectro, and Spyglass eventually from that Shockwave mold or just one bot called Reflector?


If Hasbro follows the later I could see Takara releasing a 3 pack of the former like 6 months after spent $30+ for 3 of Hasbro's.... SMH

To me 3 Transformers that combine just to be a camera would be really stupid nowadays.

Yeah, good thing I said "something modern" (Drone, satellite, etc) and not necessarily a camera.

The bot modes can be G1-ish with the alt mode being something more 2016-ish. Given the mold this Con(s) is borrowing from it's safe to say that it'll be some kind of Drone, gun or plane anyway.

Pretty sure "Nightbeat" is just Hasbro being lazy and not coming up with a proper new name for Muzzle. The figure certainly looks a lot more like Muzzle than Nightbeat.

At least in head mode:

Don't you mean the other way round? Because then Loudmouth should be named Siren.

With the proper paint, the head is pretty much Nightbeat.

O.k, if you want to get picky:

Pretty much looks like Nightbeat's head. Which is partly formed by Muzzle and the vehicle mode's seat in the G1 toy.

Then titan master robot mode has very little of Muzzle actually.

Sorry, was totally confused by the images and characters now.
It's pretty late now (at least here in Germany), so I better go to bed now.
Good night...

look i know some people have asked enough with the digibashes on here, but just a few digi's(from TFW this time) & then i'll leave it alone

ok

first

Moonracer


Railspike


Bat Prime(YES! Optimus was once a bat) & Aligator Megatron


& finally....we saw Chromdome digibash as Arcee....but how about this one?(i'm actually liking the look of this one a lot better)

Since your adding Digi's made by Siegfried from Tfw2005 I'll add another one a possibility of what Reflector could look like.

I'd actually much rather have that than what we're actually getting!

I do love all of these Easter eggs they're slipping into the line.

Emerje

well since they're headmasters, you could always swap double cross and alpha trions heads.

Well, their faces anyway.

BTW, I really want the Takara Tomy Alpha Trion head to turn into Ultra Magnus so we can come full circle.

No, in bot mode. Head mode is pretty accurate to the original Nightbeat head, though colored wrong, while the bot mode is closer to an updated Muzzle than anything resembling Nightbeat.

Loudmouth is the new (and VERY fitting) name for Siren, Hasbro lost the usage, even though the bot mode looks a lot more like Hosehead than Quig. The Decepticon Titan Master singles are the same way, but their bot modes are properly Nebulon partner-colored. Horri-Bull is now Terri-Bull with a bot mode in Kreb's colors and Squeezeplay is now Crashbash in Lokos colors in bot mode. I could understand them loosing the name Muzzle, but it seems unlikely they'd lose Quig, Kreb, and Lokos.

Except stu didn't make them, he even said he got them from the same source most others were getting theirs.

Also it's less a case of getting what you wish for and more "keep firing randomly into the dark and you're bound to hit something eventually"

I agree that this is probably the case.

Correlation =/= causation.

I was more trying to make a dry joke, I actually quite enjoy digibashes.

Sarcasm doesn't really carry over well in print.
