Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.
Since you're a new poster on the site (welcome by the way), you probably aren't aware, but Bug Bite already has a leaked product listing from TRU Canada in a big list that included a bunch of figures that have since come out, so you can look forwards to that.Notimus Crime wrote:Come to think of it I could also go for a bug bite repaint.
I'm still annoyed "Alternate Universe" Prime turned out to NOT be Shattered Glass, so I'm 100% on-board for this SG Prime of which you speak, preferably from the ER Prime mold.Notimus Crime wrote:-I'm not going to lie I'm a sucker for evil primes (he says, not owning a single Nemesis Prime) so I would be all for a shattered glass or nemesis repaint of earthrise Prime.
Yup, also preferably a Cannonball and/or Oil Slick out of ER Ironhide/Ratchet.Notimus Crime wrote:Energon Snowcat out of Siege Ironhide,
I think the best bet for Scattorshot is to either wait for a later mold, or to retool Impactor. Give him a new head, get rid of the shoulder cannon and his current accessories, and replace that plastic mass with 2 of Ironhide's rocket pods and retool either them or the arms of the figure to get them in play for alt mode. And while we're at it, also turn Impactor into Demolishor via similar retooling/new accessories, I've been asking for it since Impactor won the fan vote and I will continue to do so.Notimus Crime wrote:defense force Red Alert out of Doubledealer. Although if they were to do Red Alert I don't know how you could do a Scattorshot to round off the trio. Impactor could be an okay approximation of the robot mode but the vehicle mode would be entirely off and you wouldn't get his missile launchers (even if you included them as accessories they wouldn't have anywhere to go on the tank mode). Maaaaaaaaaybe you could do a redeco/remold of siege ironhide with two of his missile launcher/hammer things to approximate his arm-mounted missile launchers, but that would be a huge stretch and neither mode would look right.

I decided only recently that it could be fun to actually engage with the community. Anyways as for the Bug Bite leak, I do remember reading something like that a while back now that you mention it, but at the time I was just sort of like "alright so what could we make out of the bumblejumper mold.....there's Glyph and Tap-out....OH YEAH and there's Bug Bite I like him".
Notimus Crime wrote:Also correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the "one use per mold" rule broken with Lancer and Nightbird? Or does that not count because one is the combining variant of the mold and the other isn't?

AGREED!
It confounds me that in an industry who's main concern is "Story" above all other things, they failed to tell a good one. It happens all too often. It seems to happen all too often that in an effort to be part of the process that notes from the noncreative executives handed down to the creatives, end up doing more harm than good. Stepping on their very desire to deliver the one thing they hold so dear.
I like some of your suggestions. I feel like any one of them would have helped make for a more compelling story. And now I do wish you had been part of the convo.
