That might make sense -- though in that case, who would it be? I can't think of any significant human, nebulon or otherwise tiny partner of Octane in the cartoon unless they're making Sandstorm.

The head of Starscream's ghost? Or maybe Skuxxoid?

Man, I would've loved a target reticle head for Perceptor; but I should've known it wasn't happening

There's one on Shapeways but it requires painting it yourself.

Sweeet, was wondering when this'd happen. This'll make Perceptor perfect

A word of advice: Don't cheap out on the material. Order in Frosted Ultra/Extreme Detail or Black High-Definition Acrylate if possible, White Strong and Flexible does not hold detail very well. And given it's a non-load-bearing detail piece, the increased strength of WSF is useless.

I can't be the only one assuming the Spike Titan Master is going to turn into Arcee's head, right? Were I not on mobile in between meetings I'd probably look at earlier replies and find this in a heartbeat, so it's OK to make fun of me if someone mentioned this like four posts ago

Shouldn't that be Daniel as Arcee's head? I think the supposition was Spike would turn into Cerebro's head so Japan could get the same Titan Master the US got with Fort Max. But, I do not recall seeing anything official for confirmation on this.

"Foolish Autobot, dont you know Words can never hurt me?"

"Thats why we're gonna destroy you with numbers!"

"Multiply THIS, Megatron!"

[AgentK2]

Really hope that we can get Magnificus from perceptor!

[gothsaurus]

I'm down for Magnificus!! ... and Mainframe as another possible retool (?)

[Jelze Bunnycat]

So they're set for Xmas? It's gonna be a long wait

And Mainframe out of Perceptor? GENIUS!

You're right. We can officially mark this down as the 98th time I've gotten them mixed up this year.

No worries. I'm the last one to harp on this sort of thing.
(But, related to that, I hope we do get a Daniel and Arcee. I think we had a rumor at one point. It would be cool to get the Spike Exo-suit with Arcee face for it...)

Spike= CEREBROS aka The Re-Birth version

Yah, I think we got that squared away above.

I wonder if the LG Sixshot would include Daniel Witwicky as a headmaster/Excel Suit as an additional set.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Perhaps the new Headmaster for Octane just means a different little guy attached to the existing face.

It's kind of sad, but while everyone's getting all excited over the Targetmasters and Legends Sixshot and stuff like that, the thing I'm looking forward to most an underside shot of Roddy's car mode to use as a guide for modding my TR Hot Rod.

[Sabrblade]

Maybe Takara just doesn't like the look of the Hasbro face and wants to make a new one, like what they did with Kup.

Here's the thing tho: there's nothing inherently wrong with it from what I can see.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Yeah, with Kup the redesigned noggin was to better match the cartoon.

Unfortunately, we already know the full details of LG Sixshot and he doesn't come with anyone else

What I mean is, Takara might find the Hasbro face to be a little unflattering, and too stern-looking to match the more laidback and easygoing personality of Cartoon Octane, and so might want to make new face that looks more chill than this Grumpy Gus.

I do admit every time I see Octane's face, I imagine him saying "Come on Trypty baby!". Hasbro may be a bit to stern for that, haha. Octane is one of my top favs though so I will get Hasbro one and maybe sell it to get Takara when it comes out.

[Kurona]

If they make him happier I would like that -- whenever I think of Tankor I think of this panel, so happy is how I know the dude.

Thought I had on the throne, what if the remolding to Six Shot is to prepare for a greater retool into Great Shot?

[Sabrblade]

Not sure how it would be. Greatshot has a very different helmet from the one Takara made for their Sixshot, and regardless of that new helmet there would stiil need to be further retooling to give Greatshot his unique chestplate, shoulders, and rhino head.

Wouldn't sixnight be more likely because quickswitch was released in that boxed set

Considering how poor a representation of Quickswitch that TR Quickswitch was, being a mere head retool of Sixshot rather than a brand new completely different mold, I doubt Takara would even attempt to use any version of the Sixshot mold to make Sixknight, given how slavishly reverent Takara is to the source material.
