BTW, weapons-oriented gimmicks are definitely fine with me. I prefer it actually.

White Cab, that is not a repaint of Optimus + Armor / Trailer.

At least Ironhide is suitably Cybertronian.

I'm going to say that is a no. Look at the arms. The armor slides over UM's arms. Prime arms have truck kibble that would be in the way.

Aww, that's a shame as that would have been quite fun and enhanced playability between the two. Especially since it looks like the white cab started life as the op mold before the changes were done to make the rid2001 alt

I think it says Trump 2020
jk it says Police
ZeroWolf wrote:Okay...I'm going back on what I said earlier but ironhide as won me over, I love his hammer. Hound is making me reconsider as well...still want to know if you could put magnus armour on prime...
I highly doubt that since voyager optimus is a very different mold from the smallr inner white prime.

Removing the gimmick element Prime Wars moved into paying attention to the characters, in terms of pose ability, articulation and more in the engineering, as the weaponizing element of Micro and Battle Masters allow for playability.

Trust me, as probably the biggest fan of combiners here, I get the sentiment. But I don't know if it was done with malice, it seems often there are so many "cooks in the kitchen", things easily get overlooked.
Developer: OK we want to recreate the pair Ironhide & Chromia.
Developer 2: -OK we have a great fembot mold,but we aren't doing combiners for this line so we just have to remove that.
I don't know...I know it goes against Hasbro's MO for the past several lines, especially since there was bleeding over form T30 into CW, and every line after that. One would think it would require more effort to remove the Combiner functionality, but who knows...Even if the 5MM holes are gone, if that Combiner Port is still there (which it probably isn't), I'm definitely going to try to find a way to alter Chromia to make her a limb

Now I have a question of my own....Does anyone think this line will have a Titan, if so what should it be....

We did Top 5 Best

As for Top 5 worst, I dont really think the gimmicks are bad themselves its just that they are poorly executed on some toys.

I think this titan should be omega supreme, complete the devey/omega rivalry and then in the second part of wfc, give us scorpy.
As for chromia...couldn't you just get a spare moonracer or nova star and do a head swap and a nice new paint job?

Yeah mine look crappy but you get the idea.

That could be a way to go...I'm not really a talented painter however so I'd have to commission it. Also 100% Agreed on who the Titan should be, for obvious reasons

I wonder if there would be a way to just kit bash a combiner port back into Chromia and forgo having to paint anything?o.supreme wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:I think this titan should be omega supreme, complete the devey/omega rivalry and then in the second part of wfc, give us scorpy.

OF course that would all depend on if you could find a spare Moonracer.

I'm especially fond of the RiD-esque Ultra Magnus (probably "THE" Ultra Magnus, speaking of IDW comics continuity) and Cog, which might transform into some weaponry for Fortress Maximus (and if that is the case, I want a Sixguns for Metroplex too).
I also like the new Micromasters.
Posted by blackeyedprime on July 20th, 2018 @ 12:38pm CDT
Cogs the one must for me so far.
I wouldn't mind if the Titans of this line are completely made up/purpose deigned bases/toys for the micromasters.
