Hearing the ScottyP TED talk on Missing Link, I agree with him, I may not be as old/ancient, but I love these things. I have Prime and Cliffjumper, and once BBTS gets Sunstreaker I will have him too. I love the 2 I have so far, and I only plan to get one of each mold should I be interested.

I am passing on Arcee, but I would be thrilled should a missing link Magnus happen, and especially thrilled for Sideswipe and Trailbreaker.

Also: Commander Jetfire has been repainted twice (SG and Energon universe)

G2 Motormaster is something they want to do, but doubtful at this point they will do it.

And you mentioned half of Armada Prime.

otherwise, no other commander redecos. I will be shocked if we don't get multiple reuses of at least the commander G1 Prime cab

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Y'all, I think you got the Cyberglow Megatron confused.

That is not the wave 1 deluxe. that is the WARRIOR mold ($15 price point point with slightly less articulation) that has his cannon removed and replaced with the mace and glow-in-the-dark stuff to sell as a deluxe. That one did not come with a mandroid part.

Makes it kinda worse actually, but noteworthy.

(I really should just do 1 email, but the listening is so broken up by calls at work I can't be bothered).

SCotty: Movie Advanced Starscream's axes are from that simple deluxe Smokescreen, the oversized legion.

Ah, I forgot all about that dude! I even own one. Good call.

Technically the Motormaster in the Menasor boxed set is also a repaint. An extremely minor one, but still counts. I'm honestly surprised there aren't more Commander redecos, the price point seems to do well.

I am surprised as well, Jetfire I think they have done appropriately, and the G2 Motormaster would work well for him. Frankly, we should at least get powerlinx Armada Prime.

As for the others, not sure what other deco Sky Lynx could get. Rodimus could definitely be a gold Primus or even a comic deco. Magmatron is a lot like Sky Lynx, not sure what they could do with him either. G2 decos can also work for the other combiner commanders, plus Ruination and Battle Gaia for Onslaught.

I am also surprised there has been no SS86 Prime redecos yet, or a comic Magnus.

[kuhlio]

just stay off of the China knock off sites--- those are dangerous for the SS86 repaints...

What I really dislike about the current era of Transformers is that Hasbro is going to go through the same thought exercise instead of doing something fun like coming up with a cool new color scheme for the sake of it and a new character and/or story to go along with that. I can even meet them in the middle and let them keep it the same character in new clothes. Point is, I think it'd be totally fine for them to put some of these out again in color schemes that just happen to look cool, purely for the sake of it. They won't though, and it makes me sad.
