And I still want Earth mode versions of Skywarp and Thundercracker, since the F-15 is so different from the Tetrajet.
IMO they should have given us Skywarp first, since SIEGE Starscream is still warming shelves in places and SIEGE Skywarp was a smegging exclusive that's now hard to get grrrr
Well, Sky Lynx's boxart says we're getting Coneheads. Agreed about not wanting F-15 Welcoming Committee or Rainmakers.Nemesis Primal wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Would a Leader-class "submarine" Megatron be different enough for you?

Yeah, I agree that releasing Skywarp first is what should have happened, but at the same time, Starscream sells...
As much as I dislike the ER Seeker mold, I have accepted that TC and Skywarp are inevitable, I'm just hoping they use the mold for those three, Coneheads, and that's it. Don't rehash Acid Storm and Red Wing and them, and make Sunstorm and any other Welcoming Committee guys Tetrajets since that'd be accurate anyway.
Yeah, well, Hasbro didn't invent the toys at the start and the Micro Change U.N.C.L.E. P38 robot had enough extra bling to be sold opposite the Diaclone Battle Convoy. Detractors derided it even then, but it's 36 years late to do anything about it.Nemesis Primal wrote:As for your question, I've thought the concept of Megatron being a gun was dumb ever since I first heard of it, plus his robot mode would look almost exactly the same as the two tank Megatrons we just got since it'd be the G1 guy again, so no it would not be different enough for me to buy, but I understand there are some here who would love that potential figure and I would be happy for them. A Megatron/Megatron-themed Battlemaster as a reference to it would be funny though, I'd consider that.

That would be a pretty great way to piss off people that already have Metroplex. Better to just be a straight re-release, there aren't any good spots to put ramps anyway.

Not really, that's about as good as can be got on a mainline toy. The MPs did better, but trying to scale that down to a mainline toy would result in parts with all the durability of cotton candy.Gauntlet101010 wrote:I love the classic Seeker mold, so the ER mold is gonna be like crack for me. Once I saw it I went out and asked my then-finance for Red Wing for my birthday and the Rainmakers for Christmas. I think they all look nice together in robot mode. But I really have to stop myself before going too crazy with buying Seekers. Again.
About the only thing I have against the classics and ER mold is the chest in jet mode. I don't know if there's a great solution for that in a G1 design.
I think of it like a lesser version (due to having an Earth robot mode either way) of the Earth Mode and Cybertron Mode figures from Animated. The Seekers are helped a lot on that front by the huge difference between a tetrajet and an F-15.Gauntlet101010 wrote:So I'm super happy with what I have. I can really understand being annoyed at getting a new Starscream if you got the Siege version, though.
Indeed. And there's less shelfspace for Voyagers than there is for Deluxes.Gauntlet101010 wrote:I hope they don't pump out product too quickly. It can get pricey at voyager prices.

I dunno. While Generations Whirl deviates less than Jetfire... he's still not an exacting enhanced copy of the Oberon Gazette, because he can't be. Much like how no official Roadbuster toy can be an exacting enhanced copy of the Mugen Caliber. They have to deviate with those two.Tuned Agent wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Either a new Whirl or a reissue of the existing Generations one in better plastic, just so that certain people can finally replace theirs and shush about the stench.
A MTMTE Whirl would be epic, but chances of that happening are miniscule at best.
