Considering he's been in two fan polls, Hasbro's probably itching to release a Needlenose :lol:

If they do, I hope it looks like the card version

I'd say it's quite likely since the vote determines who's made first, not who's the only one to get a new toy.

After Powermaster Aragon was revealed to be part of the Amazon exclusive Fan Vote 3 pack, fans were wondering if and when we'd have the other two. Well, thanks to TOYSTV Youtube channel, we have our first look at the next two Powerdashers! Their video walks us through the Hasbro display at ACG 2019, a convention in Hong Kong. Since Aragon was a retool of Cog, it's no surprise these Cromar and Zetar are retools of the other two Weaponizers, Six Gun and Brunt, respectively. Both have new heads based off their odd G1 toys, with Zetar's new head presumably playing a part in the tank mode to make it look like a drill.

The two are on the same display shelf as their Generations Selects counterparts, so they will likely be released under that line. Since the video covers the entire Hasbro display, we can also see the upcoming Masterpiece figures, Optimus Prime, Hound, and Blackarachnia, as well as a many, already unveiled, Selects, Siege, and Studio Series figures.

So, what are your thoughts on these two oddball releases? Check out the images as well as the video, and tell us your thoughts in the Pub forums below.

Yesss! Thanks notirish!! Those look better than I’d envisioned.

The original Weaponizers are great, and these look awesome. I hope to buy all 3 Powerdashers, leaving 6 Weaponizers total. Still, the whole Powerdasher team being remade was a welcome surprise.

Neat, I'm always down for some more weaponizers, though sadly there's no way Cromar could be my Metroshot. Seems like it would have been easier to release these as a 3 pack, and just have the Mirage/Impactor set be it's own thing...

Cromar could be a nice weapons kit for G2 Sideswipe, but otherwise, I'm not too inclined to pick any of them up. Only getting Aragon because he comes in that set with Impactor and Mirage

C'mon no whammy, no whammy, no whammy, and STOP and release Needlenose please! :PRAY:

Thanks guys for the word. :VEHI:

The new powerdashers look pretty neat, I wonder if the drill head could be put onto anything to make it a weapon...

News Credits: 340 · by **Stargrave** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 4:24 pm

I want some Omnibots now. :-?

AHHH HA HA! That drill bit party hat is just too awesome!! I love it!

Coneheads be like, whaaaaaaaaa?!

So glad I pulled the trigger on the 3-pack the other night, can't wait to add these two fools to the army!

These new Weaponizers are kinda weird-looking, almost GoBot-y. Brunt could have use a bit more weapons TBH.

And that truck-mode is so shiney, wow!

They're dumb

They're weird

They're perfect

Unless they're locked behind some stupid thing like redcard, the powerdashers will be mine

News Credits: 340 · by **Stargrave** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 4:30 pm

And hey there’s what I bet is a snazzy removable drill bit for our C.O.M.B.A.T. Accessories.

Gah dang it’s like I’m a kid again sheesh.

Yes, exactly. Perfectly put that sums it for me too :lol:

Sixgun really doesnt work for the jet guy but the drill guy is looking good rather than looking like a lazy brunt repaint.

Thirded. I might not get the Powerdashers, but I'd definitely spring for Omnibots.

More figures I want but won't be able to get because of "exclusivity". ugh.

Do you live outside the states? Askin' bc these should be available on Hasbro Pulse since theyre part of Selects, which sells exclusive toys for retail price in the States

News Credits: 340 · by **Stargrave** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 5:18 pm

Can I call it? I like never call it so bear with me I’m giving it a shot:
Next series, Omnibots will be an exclusive.
Man that felt anticlimactic maybe that’s too obvious at this point huh?
I mean Rainmakers. Anything goes.

Omega Supreme looks OK. But not as good as I hoped. I'm a big G1 Spreem fan and was really looking forward to this big guy. When I saw the first prototype pictures i just couldnt believe that hastak is finally bringing him out and he looks like he came out of the cartoon. Probably a lot of you thought the same.

I dont mind the small base. I dont mind the longer rocket compared to the original G1 figure. I like the tank mode with its compartment. I like the fact that countdown is included. Thats a good fit. I like the grade of details and the colors. I like that hes big. I dont like the transparent claw. Feels a bit off and makes me worry bout the plastic quality. I dont like that the tank mode is just too big for the tracks. But thats something i also can look past. But the gap between hips and torso is absolutly unforgivable for my taste. Hastak why? You made a dream come true but screw up with the huge gap. Displaying this figure would just ruin the fun for me. I would just stare at the gap. It makes the figure look SO off. IMHO. If a 3p addon will come out to fix this, and i think there will, then i will get this one. Till then ill pass. I really want to like it. But i cant.
