I feel really, really sorry for that mold now... Poor guy.

So let's see...
Set 1: Prowl and Sandstorm
Set 2: Starscream and Thundercracker
Set 3: Rainmakers
Then Electro should be the freebie. That should complete the MW lineup except for Hubcap, Mirage and Soundwave.

Well Cybertron Defense Red Alert is the perfect mold for Soundwave, but I doubt they'll do it.
If they do a Soundwave with another mold, it just won't be the same.

Well, assuming UT molds are still too old and worn to make new figures from, that just leaves customs. Fortunately, the best custom Soundwave made from the Cybertron Defense Red Alert/Universe Countdown mold already exists as a template:

Sandstorm looks okay for what he is, though I don't have a great deal of affection for the character. If indeed Thundercracker and Starscream share a package, I'll get off very cheap this year with those two and their fellow 'Cons Skywarp and Megaplex. Throw in Obsidian and I walk away with my wallet only badly wounded, but surviving.
Though if BotCon 2012 is anything to go by, the figures will be mixed up with each other, in little "versus" sets, so I may end up stuck with a few surplus Autobots...

Actually, I think GDO Springer's head would have been PERFECT for this.
Meh.

I sincerely hope not.El Duque wrote:Machine Wars Starscream from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Terradive
Starscream was GARGANTUAN in Machine Wars. He should either be reflected as such in new toy using a larger size class mold, or keep his original 1997 toy's body.
After all, the original teaser we saw for this set had him in his 1997 toy body, anyway.

Of the available molds, Terradive is probably the closest they can get to Starscream. The only other possibility is the Universe Silverbolt mold, but the Club already used up their new heads allotment.
And since the third and final Voyager figure has been revealed, there are nothing but Deluxe molds left to work with anyway.
That just leaves the Custom Class figure to speculate on...

If anyone for Soundwave, I'd guess RTS Perceptor.

It wasn't in 2008 with Shattered Glass Nightbeat.
Though to be fair it was every other year, so you may be right.

edit- No, Overkill in 07, Nightbeat in 08. They'll have got the Nightbeat kits from the factory at the same time as the Club Nightbeat figures though so I guess that makes Overkill the oddball, out of left field guy.

OR, since all 12 of the 1997 toys are going to appear as characters in this story anyway, they could have just not made a new Starscream toy.Henry921 wrote:Of the available molds, Terradive is probably the closest they can get to Starscream.

Wait. What about Sandstorm? Is he meant to be a clone too? Or Prowl/Mirage for that matter?
