Eh, hasn't stopped Hasbro in the past.
It would still be weird for them to make a toy based on a character that showed up for a few pannels in one comic, and hasn't shown up for 5 years due to being dead.
Although, we are getting Double Dealer very soon, who died in his very own spotlight issue. Admittedly, he's not being produced with his IDW body, as he's a repaint of Generations Blitzwing. Still, being dead doesn't stop a toy from being made. How many toys did Prime Cliffjumper get AFTER he died 5 minutes into the series premiere?

Hasbro was probably close to making "that guy," lol. They were straining to extend the first movie line by the end, with unused concept characters, videogame drone fodder, new characters made up of various inanimate cars, planes, and objects seen in the movie, repaints of Armada, Cybertron, and Classics toys, AND "premium" repaints of the first wave of figures. "That guy" Megatron offlined probably had more reason to be in the toyline than most of the non-screen characters.

Mindmaster wrote:When I was proposing my theory, I also hit the same snag. But then I remembered something: in the IDW comics, Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Scourge are separate characters from Megatron, Bombshell, and Thundercracker, respectively, as opposed to the traditional "Unicron upgraded these guys". So it's quite possible that in the IDW continuity, Rhinox and Tankor, like the aforementioned Decepticons, are separate characters.
Not when this is a different continuity.Manterax Prime wrote:Yeah, having them be seperate characters can cause a lot of confusion.

In the movie, at least. Other media works have given more certain answers, even though said answers vary.Mindmaster wrote:And technically, it was never said who became Cyclonus and who became "his Armada". So really, it's all just a matter of perspective.

Technically, Galvatron's original toy bio (which predated his appearance in the more mainstream fiction) painted him up as being a new character who wanted to gain leadership of the Decepticons, had a rank of 9 (lower than Megatron's rank of 10), and is a City Commander (like Ultra Magnus).Delicon wrote:Am I the only one who really hates the IDWverse totally reinventing characters such as Galvatron?
I'm all for a little tweaking but I don't like it when they completely change who they are - in this case, literally.

Amusingly ironic, given the central theme of Transformers is "change".
It doesn't bother me much, really. Like I say all the time, "different continuities, different rules". Now, I understand uber, mega changes, say for instance, changing Optimus Prime from a truck to, say, a dopey little Model T. Then we can rant and rave about how much of a stupid idea that would be.
