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. That he was on top of the Prime vote poll and very much the guy Hasbro intended to win show he was in the pipeline somewhere.
What I wonder is...did Hasbro take his loss as "Well people don't want him so lets shelf him indefinitely"?![]()
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?

Not to mention car model (Corvette vs. Countach). Note that Tracks with Needlenose was an option in the poll that lead to Mirage and Impactor, so a rough design separate from Sideswipe should already have been made. Maybe next year?

Black Hat wrote:On the subject of Sunstreaker, a friend of mine had a genius idea- making Sunstreaker, Wheeljack and Tracks retools of each other. They all have very similar transformations (car front becomes feet, car roof becomes chest, back of car becomes backpack, with wings in the case of two of them) and with modern Hasak's capacity for extensive retools I think it'd honestly work well.

Oh no, I was misunderstood, I meant ... instead of an Optimus Energon ... I would also prefer a Trank as a simple repaint of Sideswipe, then I know that sn is different both as a car mode and as a robot ... right ... but better a repaint that again an Energon Optimus: D I hope I have been clearer now
Except that that's Road Rage's Masterpiece design.AcademyofDrX wrote:It's far from a guarantee, but this IDW cover (#12) has me more optimistic for Tracks in WFC. If you're going to do a new mold, it helps to be able to use it for multiple characters.

The current IDW comics use more than just Siege designs. Bumblebee has his MP-21 robot mode, Windblade has her Titans Return toy's robot mode, Cyclonus uses his CW toy design, etc.
