Never got an email for this thread since Saturday, so here's some backtracking replies before the new stuff.

I agree, there is absolutely o reason that Star Saber should be a Titan Class figure. Leader Class is the most fitting choice for Star Saber.
In all honesty, I still wish MP Star Saber had been bigger than it was. Not Titan class-sized, mind you, but more Supreme class-sized like Armada Unicron or something. Star Saber's inner Saber robot should have been bigger, closer to the size of MP-10.

speaking of which.....how about Jetfire & the Superjets! & YES! they're from G1 continuity

That would basically just be a slightly more red redeco of Classics Jetfire.

When fans asked Hasbro at SDCC 2013 about the possibility of Metroplex being redecoed into Metrotitan, Hasbro's reaction was "Who?" Hasbro didn't know about Metrotitan.

There's a point to be made about when the Universe and Generartions lines did non-G1 characters vs when they did only G1 characters.
Universe in its first year, 2008, was like a continuation of Classics as it only had G1 characters. In its second year, 2009, however, it did characters from several series, but that was because 2009 was the 25th anniversary year.
Likewise, Generations in its first two years, 2010-2011, did four WFC characters and then nothing but G1 characters (with a small few of the G1 characters having some IDW influence in their designs). In its third and fourth years, 2012-2013, it did only FOC characters, and then finally in late 2013 to all of 2014 did it do multi-series characters. But like with Universe's second year, 2014 was the 30th anniversary year.
For both lines, only when there was an anniversary year in effect did each line make toys from all kinds of non-G1 series. Before and after those years, though, they only did G1 characters (or strongly G1-influenced characters, in regards to the WFC/FOC toys). Therefore, it stands to reason that the wider selection of toys produced during the two anniversary years were the exceptions to the norm, instead of the norm itself.

Has it been seen yet?

It seems that Sovereign's robot mode design is sculpted as a homage to the robot mode design of Cybertron Safeguard, furthering the speculation of a Vector Prime toy being made from Alpha Trion's mold.

The rest of that image has both of Trions alt modes, and cross sells for Brawn, Chromedome, Astrotrain, and Soudnwave.
Where has the full image been seen?
