I'm hoping we see more Micromasters next line: they are hit and miss and not a huge priority for me but I'm glad to have them when the opportunity is there.

Rung is a major surprise, what with the death of that convoluted mess that IDW 2005 was. Judging by his VERY DIFFERENT Battlemaster transformation scheme, this seems to confirm the Battlemasters if next line will have at least one gun mode which looks different, using the legs for barrels. This seems to confirm we'll see some more gun-based Battlemasters next line.

I am here to have fun... It's just, there are things that really frustrate me or try my patience... Maybe I should just stop trying to be a part of forums.

Quitting wont help you have more fun.

My personal experience in this regard would say otherwise.

[BERSEKAEL]

is like each micromaster at $4... and those are smaller than legion class

come on hasbro, where are the real legion class?

we are still missing G1 key characters in a toyline that started 10 years ago

The micromasters are $10 but you get two of them. As far as legion class goes you should probably just accept the fact that it died out for generations years ago. I can't see them making any more.

sure is dead

Quitting wont help you have more fun. The best thing to do is to just chill. Everyone wants to have fun too, so assume people arent out to prove you wrong and just write to people the way you would like to be written to. Like the way you and I frequently write back to eachother And everything will be fine and fun.

Quitting would spare everyone else my BS tho.

Perhaps you missed the part where I said generations? Those aren't generations. If you're going to look at every line as one then sure it's not dead, just clinging to life. Legions just clearly aren't a priority so all I'm saying is you shouldn't hold your breath to see pretty much any of those anytime soon.

You don't need to quit.

So are these the only SDCC reveals or just the start?

[Jelze Bunnycat]

At the very least they should purposely tease the next line. Not put the wrong background like what happened with Titans Return

Pretty sure it's just the start since the convention doesn't even start until tomorrow (I know some years they do a preview night on Wednesday, but that's mostly for patrons to walk around the floor and purchase items early, and not sure if they still do that). There will be reveals for ALL lines, not just generations, and I'm sure there will be a few surprises for the next Generations line in 2020.

[william-james88]

Of Generations toys on hand? Yes, most probably. You might get more reveals for other lines later or of other generations line toys through renders in the presentation.

Yeah but then the terrorists have won and we all lose.

Don't quit. Just realize the way you're feeling right now is how it feels to be called out. All I did was passionately state my feelings too. See? That's how the passion of your statements makes people feel sometimes.

So remember that feeling, pause to ask yourself What Would Optimus Do and let's move past this. Don't let the terrorists win bro.

So the 10-pack will likely be another exclusive...bugger.

Or you know, you could just tone back on the attitude you've been presenting as of late.

So far just an exclusive in the USA... Isn't much but sometimes Tesco in the UK have stocked the Target exclusives... Once upon a, time anyway. Did Australia not get any target exclusives at any other retailer?

[Skritz]

Btw, people have somewhat complained about Astrotrain seemingly being 'a big Voyager'. How its not that I want to defend trying to make profit but...have any of you played around with a CW to POTP leader? Many of them (especially the TR ones) were notably fiddly and had either arms or legs suffering from crappy articulation and in the case of TR there was a serious lack of waist joints.

Compared to these, Siege Shockwave and Ultra Magnus are pretty damn poseable. Even Magnus fully armored retain all points of articulation.

Given the winner of the fan vote is supposed to be revealed today, they will probably have SOMETHING for the next segment of the trilogy, just maybe not as extensive of a reveal as the one for Siege last year with prototype figures from the first two waves.

Buggered if I know. The nearest Target is about 100km's away.

I'll be honest in my opinion I prefer Siege style Leader class figures, their more in scale with others in my collection and besides a few exceptions where they should be that big I feel like many leaders were too big.

[Wireless_Phantom]

Oh man, where to start.

I'll probably pass on the Micromaster 10 pack, as well as the silver Battle master. Rumble and Ratbat look great and I look forward to having them. Rung is a surprise but a welcome one. I'll definitely get the micromaster combiner.

Everything else I already gave my opinion on. Personally, I can't wait!

Yeah, I'm glad the Phase Sixers were big'uns because I think they still scale with the Siege line, but my CW Megatron's are both sitting in a drawer waiting to be claimed by my son.

Really wish we could get a Siege-style leader class Fort Max, though. Not likely given we just got the Titan class version, but I really would prefer he be about Ultra Magnus's size.

[Skritz]

Overlord being huge worked for me but I'll echo the sentiment that Ultra Magnus scales a lot better with other figures now.

Only TR Leader that felt a bit off was the Power Master optimus (& Legends Big Powered). CW were cheaper figures in general to me with a feeling of 1 design is going to be used for anything and everything but even then POTP Voyager Elita has her inner leg screw holes hidden compared to Siege Tetra Jet Voyagers. Seems to be steps forwards and backwards in every line.

The Leader class in general has had a spotty track record re: waist articulation going back to the Unicron Trilogy at the least.

Honestly, I don't feel like "Voyager sized robot with accessories" is a bad use of the Leader price point.

I have to agree. Especially with someone like Astrotrain where people would I assume want it in scale with Blitz and Octane. Other’s I’m sure want a shuttle that can fit at least Micromasters on the other hand. Anyone know when we can get mass displacement in our toys?
