We will not get a Bee movie Megatron.

Are you still bitter about Ironhide's death?

For me, it bugged me because he was killed off before we barely got to know him (and that's even counting the fact that it was his third movie appearance) beyond the broad strokes of "likes weapons" and "is slightly psychopathic" (which ultimately became a trait of most Autobots in the first five movies, but I digress).

It wasn't until reading the Classified novels that I got to know something more personal about Ironhide that was actually kinda neat: He's closet football fanatic, and is slightly embarrassed by it, claiming that he only watches it because it makes for good study of human strategy, even though he'll sometimes get just as riled up and excited over the game as any human fan would.

And I also doubt we will get a new TLK Megatron, but I do believe that we will eventually get a Galvatron

If Studio Series lasts a few more years, I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually did a new TLK Megs, or at least put out a retool/redeco of the TLK voyager, once the pool of "hey, we need to do a Studio Series version of this" starts to dwindle.

Tonton review for SS Scavenger is out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CslF2VEAHNg

It is slightly mistransformed in the video, however. There are two side supports for the top wheel that are meant to plug in on either side, you can see them folded up on Scavenger's back in the video.

It's pretty cool to see it combined with Scrapmetal and Hightower! Hopefully soon we'll see the full combined mode.

after Scavenger, there's already a review for Mixmaster too!

If it wasn't for the lack of development, (which was a problem with every character and not just Ironhide) and if he was actually mourn for afterwards I think there is a great scene potential under Ironhide's death.

He was given a chance to shine the scene prior in a bad ass fight scene (whether you like it or not it's about the intent of the scene) which was all about keeping Sentinel safe from the Decepticons.

The betrayal itself from Sentinel was pretty strong and killing off the second strongest Autobot is a good way for the film to show that.

The main problem of the scene was that he was forgotten about afterwards like the gun wasn't a rust gun but a reality retcon gun.

They could of used Ironhide's death (alongside what happens with Chicago with all those human casualties) as a convincing motivation for killing Sentinel which is another controversial scene, I prefer the adaptions take where he gets shot from his rust gun in the middle of battle and he has a final conversation with Prime and Megatron before he dies, it would of been a good way to get rid of a character who probably did deserve to die after what he does in the film and it would of also been less brutal on Optimus Prime's part.

It's a shame, there are plenty of scenes that could be really good in the films but the rest of the film's make those scenes just wasted potential.

The big question on all movie Constructicon fans were, what will Overload look like? Well, we might know now, maybe. MCM London Comiccon 2019 is underway and Hasbro are attending with their own reveals, just for the Brits, and one of them is a fully combined Devastator made up of the actual toys. The two yet to be revealed are Scrapper and Overload and here they are in blue prototype plastic and heavily mistransformed. Devastator is standing rather upright, for one. Still, this is our first look at the toys and we will probably get a better look as more pics come from the show. These were from Powerglide1991 who posted them on the TFW2005 boards.

[TF-fan kev777]

Interesting. So in addition to being mis-transformed (which is sooo Hasbro) someone also doesn't know their right from left.

Edit: Also interesting that Overload appears to go from the knees to the noggin. So instead of Scavenger and Overload being an upper/lower torso combination, they are more like a front/back torso combination. Hmmm, I wonder if that kind of combo could work for the generations line and 6 team combiners...

[Sentinel_Primal]

Woah, Devastator's looking great! And I'm seeing multiple struts that could be Overload's robot mode legs... If he is going for that concept art, then I'm going to be incredibly impressed that they managed to engineer that, and also the combined mode

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

You can see what appear to be Overload’s arms attaching to Rampage and Long Haul, and it looks he has two blocky legs (like the legends figure) instead of the spider legs.

Hopefully we’ll see what Devastator looks like in the gorilla pose and maybe some new figures like Sentinel later today.

Devestator Looks EPIC! I can't wait!

Both London and Paris comic con are happening the same day and hasbro is attending both so we are bound to see something.

[NTESHFT]

I'm ready to see a full color pic.....

[Shuttershock]

I wonder who contributes the extra barrel that bulks out the neck?

[PhunkJunkion]

Does anyone know the height of the combined form yet?

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Cool! I’m hoping we’ll see Sentinel and Roadbuster in particular.

Also, I just had a really cool idea - Scavenger’s robot mode doesn’t scale with SS (If he was in scale it’d have to be something like a commander class), but It looks like Scavenger might scale perfectly with the DOTM cyberverse figures!

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

It’s either Scrapper or Overload, and considering the size I’ll bet it’s Overload.

[Decepticon Stryker]

This looks fantastic! Has the exact size been mentioned yet? This looks like it'd probably be around half the size of Fort Max at the most while standing straight up.

Just an update, there will be nothing new revealed at Paris Comiccon.

[JoeIsNotCool]

I'm going to hold off on any negative reactions until I see Devastator in fully coloured images, preferably by an actual collector. Its clear that this was not transformed properly so I will not let it destroy my hype.

[haldand]

Anyone know what system they're using for the connections?

Something new, not CW, but similar.

God, I cannot wait for this beast to be complete;

Possibly unpopular opinion: this IS this current design teams' magnum opus; a titan+ class movie devastator, that's at least semi-poseable, and looks amazing all whilst still having excellent individual figures all of whom have rather great vehicle modes as well, with nothing - save scale - being compromised? You cannot convince me that this isn't their greatest work yet, this shouldn't have come out looking this great, but, here we are

Why would that be an unpopular opinion, it checks out.

[Sentinel_Primal]

My only issue with Devs is the red face, and that's for the same reason that I have issues with Bluestreak's color scheme/name I had the supreme Devs from ROTF, so I'm used to/I remember him having the inaccurate grey face. But it does look fairly good here
