What is the bigger non minicon toy's name? is it Fracture or Airazor?
How big is the non minicon toy? Deluxe class or Voyager Class?
What is HasTak calling the vechicle mode for the bigger non minicon toy? Please don't say deployer as that's the gimmick.

It's not as new as you think: FoC Soundwave and Blaster have the same gimmick, especially with the Mini-Cons being more like their little buddies.

It's not the same gimmick, though. Not entirely. The internal storage and automatic transformation of Rewind, Frenzy and company is what made them special to me. These Mini-Con are more like spring-launched projectiles that happen to transform. I don't know whether to view them as poor functioning weapons or broken Bot Shots.

I view them as a de-evolution of Gen. Rumble, Frenzy and co.: all transform into the same shape and can be shot out, they just don't have a springloaded transformation.

Personally I hope it's a retool of Hot Shot since that version of the mold had the gears in the neck fixed so the head would lay flat. Sideswipe looks really good but that Ultimate Prime looks exactly like the Hyperchange figure. I can maybe see one or two new parts.

Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2015 10:04 pm So far he has been the one character I have been most excited about. I too was disappointed when I saw that stop drop flippity flop toy. Here's to hoping he gets a warrior class treatment.Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2015 10:36 pmi know! when i first saw the pic i was all "sweeet!" cause i assumed it was warrior class. then i was all "awwwww" when i dropped my icecreamCobotron wrote::lol: So far he has been the one character I have been most excited about.

Whereas the other Cons seem to be just upon to random mischief or personal gain, he's the one seeing the bigger picture and trying to plan out a long term strategy, as though he sees how just going about and doing whatever he wants like the other Cons appear to be doing is pointless and ineffective.

Not seeing what? He's referring to these two toys by the way:

Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2015 11:04 pmYa, the whole stag thing ices the cake for me. In fact thats the first I've seen of his alt mode. He's a tractor? Pppphhhhhhh, AWESOME!

I think Cobotron and Shajaki were more referring to just the character design and possibility for a toy.

Whoops, I should have clarified. I meant I'm not seeing Jazz as a retool of PRID Bumblebee. I compared the two and I don't see much in the way of similarities.
