2020 Transformers War for Cybertron Toyline Fan Vote

We just got good retail figures of both the Sharkticons and Shrapnel. The Battlechargers were in the cartoon so there's always a chance for them. Needlenose is the odd one out, so he's who I'd vote for.

Needlenose is without a doubt the one I will vote for.

Yes for Needlenose here as well.

The choices are a bit weird, it is almost like Hasbro really just wanted a vote between Needlenose and Runabout/Runamok and said lets put 2 characters we've already done reasonably well in there for filler.

I can sorta see an arguement for all 4 characters. Shrapnel would likely be similar enough to FOC Kickback that they wouldn't look awful next to each other, the battlechargers haven't had retail figures in quite a while, having a Gnaw as a deluxe would be a cool leader to a Sharkticon army, Needlenose hasn't had a figure at retail in a while with the latest figure being a collector's club one. For me, it's a tie between Needlenose and maybe Gnaw. Though if the deluxe Sharkticon is actually one of those Allicons, I'm all for it. But, I doubt it

Edit: Whoops, forgot Takara had a recolor of the Blackjack mold in the Adventure line for the battlechargers

Needlenose all the way here, unless the Battlecharger silhouette is a stand-in for a surprising candidate: generic Decepticon from Devastation.

I'll be voting for the dude who had the the sterner stuff to fight Ultra Magnus:



Needlenose would be pretty sweet too, but I have a feeling he'd be based off his original toy instead of his TCG design

Either the Battlechargers or Neddlenose would be awesome. I don't see why we need new versions of toys that were released less that two years ago.

I don't really care who wins the vote (don't have an attachment to any of these guys), but I'll be casting my vote for Needlenose.

These are just weird choices, except for Needlenose, who lost the fan vote last year. I have a feeling Hasbro and Takara REALLY want to make him. It'd be nice to have the Battlechargers, but it's pointless if we only get EITHER Runabout OR Runamuck. We need both or nothing at all. We already have a great Sharkticon figure, but if this is at the Deluxe size, maybe the cartoon scale is better? Shrapnel is definitely the worst choice. We already have the Insecticons at the perfect cartoon scale size, that being Legends Class. They're supposed to be around the same size as the Minibots, particularly Huffer. They're not nearly Deluxe Class sized like Reflector is supposed to be, standing eye-to-eye with the likes or Prowl or Sideswipe. I already have the TFCC Needlenose, so I guess my top pick would be the Sharkticon. My second choice would be Needlenose.

Although Needlenose could get retooled into Jhiaxus, so there's that possibility as well

Runabout and Runmauck may look similar, but each sports a different car mode and head design. Speaking of which, it's probably the white Runamuck in the silhouette, judging by the head and faceplate, not to mention his gun:

Makes sense, the "Runamuck" trademark was still available back in 2012, while "Runabout" was not, being replaced with "Over-Run" for the 2012 Club toy.

Yep, if one gets made, the other will be his pretool. Calling it right now!

Given all of them have modern releases, I'm disappointed these are our options.

Obviously I'd love to see a total random like Stalker thrown in, but I guess it's hard for Hasbro to move past the first two years. At least they're showing some Decepticon love for once I guess.
