Well, i hope this guy would come in the trilogy, oh wait, there's micromasters in the trilogy so there are hopes.
A figure for this guy would be great also..

That's unfortunate. Legends was the last bastion of hope for some really creative releases. I mean Things like the Select Series & Greenlight are cool and all, but I don't see doing anything major like a Metrotitan from Metroplex etc..

If we're talking about GIANT Transformers, I have another suggestion:
Though that will never happen. Oh well...
As for Galaxy Convoy, he's 100% an instant buy for me. I don't own anything from the Unicron Trilogy and have tried to get anything from the series, rather it be a version of Hot Shot, or Override, etc. Seeing this gives me a good amount of hope that we can expet to see more characters from other generations of the Transformers and like Thew said: "Justify the S in the name Generations.
and yes i know about the couple of beast wars characters we've gotten as well as armada starscream and megatron, but it be nice to get more than just 7 characters from other series.
Ligerjack is fine, yeah! Heck, Leobreaker's initial working name was Overcast, since it's Overhaul's upgraded form. Isn't it something like: starts as Overhaul/Overcast, someone changes Overhaul to Trailbreaker, this leads to Trailbreaker/Leobreaker, then last minute Trailbreaker went back to being Overhaul and it was too late to change Leobreaker again? Or maybe they just decided not to? Anyway, the name has a fun history, that's for certain!Sabrblade wrote:Some people got to see Galaxy Force fansubbed in English by TV-Nihon before Cybertron starting airing on TV in English, and so prefer to use the Japanese names instead.Albatross250 wrote:Is it odd to call Him Ligerjack?
because Galaxy Force made his name differently, also Sonic Bomber. (Wing Saber)

Now how long till we get pictures of the truck mode. Also an important question, do you think you can mix and match the armour for um and Cybertron Prime?

That's Gaea, a version of the Marvel Comic's Generation 1 Earth and the sister of Primus & Unicron featured in Shattered Glass. She ended up fighting the evil Primus.

I seriously doubt we will ever see a Gradus release. If we do, I'll be happy to be wrong, but without outlets such as the legends line, it just became substantially less likely

What upscale price point? The prices have usually been similar between both companies in their respective countries.
I do agree that they had unique offerings in their legends line, but Hasbro also had such unique offerings, decos, characters and retools in their generations line, which forced Japanese collectors to pay the very big bucks to import.

That probably wasn't the best use of language, my apologies. What I meant was, when it comes to exclusives - while both & offered them, IMHO, 's offerings were by far more varied and more frequent, and, as we saw with things like Grand Maximus, they are at times, on a larger scale. I seriously doubt now that Hasbro will offer such frequent and varied exclusives as the Legends line did, which is a shame.
I'm very forward about admitting I'm a victim of "Beware what you wish for"...because for a long time I did wish that the releases on both sides would be the same. Only I wished Hasbro would adapt to Takara, not the other way around, which is what we got.

It's going to take a hell of a lot for this "tribute" to beat him. Good luck Hasbro, thanks for at least making the effort!

Still though, as you know me I am a big fan of looking at both sides of the coin and I feel we are ignoring something. Hasbro did have huge exclusives that were at a higher price point. We just dont think abou them, but they did and I am 100% certain that if we were to ot down all their big ticket exclusives, we would end up with double Takara's output.
Here are a few high ticket Hasbro exclusives of the past few years:
lots of pics
These are varried, frequent and at times of a larger scale. Of course, do as many fans care about these? Maybe not. But we werent looking at that.

For that matter when is the next major convention? I'm guessing that's when figures like this and SS-38 (is that right, the Bumblebee Optimus) will be officially revealed by HasTak.
