Its a new and welcome addition to the character for mealso after seeing ironhide coged up, it made me realise I may need a lot of duplicates for the weaponisers...also I wonder who'll be the con equivalent
I wonder what this means for Leader Shockwave...Emerje wrote:Oh yeah, something that I don't think has gotten enough attention, Leader UM is going to be only a little taller than a Voyager.
8" to the top of his shoulders puts him at around 7.5" head height. Most Leaders tend be over 9", sometimes hovering just under 10". On the bright side that means the inner Magnus should be the same size as Voyager Prime. So they weren't all talk when they said bot scale matters this time around. What he loses in size he makes up for in complexity and part count and I'm OK with that.

Would they dare do a figures that's a little bigger than a Voyager... with lights and sounds?
Naaaah... Or would they?

Just about every noteworthy iteration of the Wreckers has had ties to Ultra Magnus, with the BotCon Beast Era Wreckers and the DOTM Wreckers being the most notable exceptions.william-james88 wrote:Randomhero wrote:william-james88 wrote:Why wreckers fans?
Because he’s usually always affiliated with them.
Really? I cover lots of fiction, being staff for this site, and the only time I saw him associated to them was in Prime.
There may be another instance but i highly doubt its a usual affiliation. Definitely not in the G1 lore i am familiar with.

Well there have been rumours of a new Roadbuster and Whirl but even if those prove untrue we would still have a mostly-complete Wrecker lineup if we go back to T30 and TR as these had Roadbuster, Whirl, Springer, Sandstorm, Broadside and the Jumpstarter brothers. Meaning that the only guys left at this point are Rack & Ruin and Impactor. And we know Impactor is coming.

Yeah, with Impactor coing Rack N' Ruin are the only ones left.
My Digibash version using the Cloudraker mold

Rack'n'Ruin never transformed in the original Marvel UK comics, and were permanently stuck together is said comics. According to the origin given for them in the "Transformers: The Facts" booklet that came included with the 200th Marvel UK issue, they used to turn into Cybertronian mini-jets, but their being surgically joined together in an desperate operation that saved their lives made transformation impossible for them to do anymore.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:Also, as cool as that digibash is, aren't they supposed to be conjoined, and what would they turn into?
I thought that. Aren't they (technically) a Duocon?

Emirate Xaaron might be an earlier contender for that.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Rack'n'Ruin never transformed in the original Marvel UK comics, and were permanently stuck together is said comics.

Would that make them the first Action Masters?
