I'm still holding out hope for a Brave Maximus colored Cog (one can dream).

Wouldn't a Grand Maximus colored Cog make more sense since Grand actually got a Titan class toy?

What would a Brave Max Cog even look like? Brave Max didn't come with one

While true, going by the pattern of the two existing Cogs having decos comprised of two plastic colors that are shared with their respective Maxes, a theoretical Brave Max-colored Cog could have any two-color deco combination consisting of dark blue, medium blue, black, red, or gray.

Actually now that I think about it, drawing from color layouts as compared to their respective titans, he would be dark blue with black limbs

One small gripe.....well maybe two.....I'm excited for a Sunstrekker but why didn't they do him in Cybertronisn as Sideswipe?.....I'm doubting they will do Sideswipe in Earthrise.....Second...I cant wait for Runamuck, but I hope Runabout will not be a hard to grab exclusive....

Looking foward to Doubledealer....I passed on the last one..wasn't a fan of the mold after picking up Blitzwing...

Siege Sideswipe can already pass for an earth mode more than other cybertronian alts, so I imagine it was designed that way so the two could be paired up from both lines with little issue.

I am really exited to hear we are getting characters that haven't gotten a ton of mainline love in awhile. Sunstreaker especially, the masterpiece version has had my eye for a long time but I will happily skip it if the Earthrise one is decent

[Skritz]

I'm hoping Snapdragon and Doublebdealer are true.

I'm hoping Snapdragon and Doublebdealer are true.

Snapdragon is a pretty solid bet I think, and Doubledealer has good chances as well. I'm personally hoping that, if Doubledealer has his appropriate powermasters that we might finally be getting a decent Power Master Optimus Prime

[Flashwave]

Given how the original Doubledealer used the Rocket accessory, I thinkvthe Leader "Voyager-with-Accessories" pricepoint works pretty well for him.

I doubt Powermaster Prime will ever happen. Hasbro is unlikely to revisit this design and Takara already did their definitive take with Legends God Ginrai.

Well if Doubledealer will be a proper Powermaster, I would love to see Darkwing and Dreadwind get remade in voyager scale and still be able to combine like they did in G1.

[Skritz]

Honestly I don't expect a full remake of the Powermaster line like we got with the first batch of Headmasters in Titan Return. However I wouldn't really mind if it did happen, especially for Joyride (Powermaster gimmick or not) because there's quite a few guys who could benefit from a good deluxe Baja Buggy mold existing if not for this line then at least one SELECTS retool.

[Emerje]

Leader Doubledealer (that's really a Voyager with a giant missile). Just please be a proper remake this time and not a Blitzwing pretool! I doubt he'll be a proper Powermaster since the Targetmasters don't come with guns, but I'm OK with that, I'd rather it not be done at all if it can't be done right. Maybe they can fake it with a Battlemaster ramp that has an engine on the under side of the ramps so it looks proper folded on the back.

I could see Doubledealer's Powermasters being done one of two ways. 1) They're included with him as part of the extra stuff to make him a leader, or 2) They're done like Soundwave's cassettes with a "Doubledealer Spy Patrol" or something like that. Either way, I'm just happy that we're getting Doubledealer to begin with

More likely it will include one titan master (and be a voyager with a tiny missile ) so that his takara legends titan master has to be sought out to complete it.

[Skritz]

To be honest, Doubledealer's missile isn't that big so I can easily see it just partsforming into guns for robot mode.

[frogbat]

Seems like there is a quintessential in the siege line mmmmm...

Been avoiding repaints, with crosshairs as the only one so far... but trailbreaker and sun streaker might be purchases in spite of hoist and wheel jack being ordered (assuming sun streaker is a repaint of course.)

Double dealer... now that's one I'm really looking forward to - loved the original g1 figure as a kid. Hope they do him justice. Snapdragon... again hopefully it's a new mould and not some heavy retooling...

and again, hope fas track is an original mould.

re the micrometers, looking forward to them tho still think the original g1 figures were actually better or, rather, the new ones haven't improved over the originals as much.

[M. Spector]

Doubledealer being in Earthrise would make sense as he is a bit of a mercenary yes? And from what we have seen, that factionless faction has been teased somewhat through leaked listings and the TCG cards

[AcademyofDrX]

re the micrometers, looking forward to them tho still think the original g1 figures were actually better or, rather, the new ones haven't improved over the originals as much.

They have much better articulation and possibility, even though they still don't have knees or elbows. The molds have more detail too. Transformations remain mostly the same, and the weapon modes are just ports for fire blasts. They're an evolution, not a revolution.

[Skritz]

Well there's only so much they can do for guys that small.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

I've got my fingers and toes crossed for Snapdragon. With him and Scorponok, that means that the first wave of US Headmasters will all have been updated. And I am really looking forward to that.

[Wolfman Jake]

Especially so since we're getting Fasttrack. I hope he's a Weaponizer like Cog, Sixgun, and Brunt before him in Siege. It would be nice to have that parity of partsforming with all of the citybot companions.

Speaking of Fasttrack, we need still need a Slammer for Metroplex. I hope that's in the cards for Earthrise or the third and final chapter for the War for Cybertron Trilogy.

actually the micromasters all have knee's, it just elbow most are lacking

[frogbat]

Yer all correct of course... thing is that the jump from g1 to any generations figure shows a huge jump in engineering. Wish they had the elbows and maybe not try squeeze in the weapon mode... my other issue is with the base ramps system. Feel like the original system was better.

Will we definitely get a slammer though? They may have thought giving us Sixgun was enough. Not saying it won't happen, as that's the kind of curveball Warden keeps giving us lately.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I'm excited for those rumored figures.

Leader Doubledealer is probably the one I am most excited for. After we get him, we will only need a Joyride and Slapdash to finish the updates to the entire Powermasters lineup.

and it would be nice to get a good update to one of my favorite G1 figures
