But it’s time to get brainy. I want minifigs that turn into faces. I want a gestalt that’s 70% legs, 20% sword, 10% arms, and 100% brains.
It’s time.

Strictly speaking, Road Caesar is achieveable already. Some remolding to combiner limbs and you could easily have the Brainmasters. I'd love to see the next part of the trilogy focus on more Japanese G1 characters like Star Saber, Victory Leo, Ginrai (though, Hasbro would probably just go with Optimus Prime and the Apex Armor)

What I wonder is...did Hasbro take his loss as "Well people don't want him so lets shelf him indefinitely"?

It has Ultra Magnus and Springer (who are from The Movie era), Flywheels (a Rebirth-era guy) and a frickin' homage to Galaxy Convoy (He's not even from the right continuity!). If anything it seems that outside of Deluxe Autobots and Voyager Decepticons its one whacked out line.
No seriously, this is a line with a G1 accurate, brand new mold FLYWHEEL! Pretty sure that dispel the notion its going to be just GEEWUN pandering. They can clearly fit in whackier and more obscure stuff in that Trilogy and I'm sure they will even if its just 4-5 figures a line. Weaponizers might be G1 characters but lets be real that they have less of a draw/a fanbase than Unicron Trilogy homages in spite of being technically G1.

Back near the beginning of POTP (but AFTER Optimus Primal won the fan poll), there was an interview with John Warden that implied Star Saber and/or Deathsaurus to be in the works for POTP, but this was before it was confirmed that POTP was going to be a short line ending with Optimal Optimus and Novastar. So, perhaps if POTP had been allowed to last as long as CW and TR, we might have gotten Star Saber and/or Deathsaurus in that line in spite of their both having lost the fan poll.Skritz wrote:I mean, let's be real here: with Dai Atlas now existing in CHUG form (even if he's a Legends-EX boxset) its really Star Saber who is shining with his conspicuous absence.

In the meantime, Star Saber's MP toy is perfectly scaled to fit better with CHUG toys than with MP toys, making it a decent CHUG stand-in.

Please no, those dont even share a similar body type or transformation.
I know what you're talking about. Those were concepts for potential Prima and Megatronus figures retooled from Sky Shadow from seemingly before the Prime Masters were finalized as Pretender shell homages.00Stargrave00 wrote:Hey Sabr what you were saying I’m remembering a black and white piece of art and it had what looked like a retool of TR Skyshadow into maybe Thunderwing?
