Lo and behold, Core Ironhide will be an exclusive only for those who are able to visit the Whadafukhistan's moonbase. Same thing with Voyager Ratchet.

I still think Siege Ironhide is the best Ironhide, they did good there as far as I am concerned. But that is neither here nor there since in a way SS86 is making a different type of Ironhide.
I also don't really care about the battle sled, it is not really needed in my eyes.

Hey hey hey! Only government-connected personnel are supposed to know about that top-secret moonbase!

yeah, well. I ain't blaming him. I just got beat to Cosmos and Clampdown. I don't usually go out of my way to criticize Hasbro, but this....was a really poor decision. Making me go to the store isn't the same thing as making me buy. Am I looking for Velocitron? Yes. Am I going to buy anything other than Cosmos and Lockdown in the deluxes until I get them? no. That's not creating 'hype', that's frustrating a loyal customer.
Meanwhile, I did get SS86.16 Arcee a week ago and never mentioned it.

I think I'm not alone being frustrated in all those exclusives that are hard or nearly impossible to get.
As if 3/4 of all the new transformers that get released are exclusives to some place or other. The usual bad distribution being the cherry on top of that $hit sundae.
....even that coffee taste like crap...

This is probably music to Walmarts ears though, which will be Hasbro's main concern

But as i said, how? Exclusives are part of the game. I get it. And I'll take this over to Velocitron. Don't want to derail.

Making Cosmos 1 per case seems like a bonehead move to me, unless their plan is a reissue next year.

Hasbro doesn't care, as long as the toys sell

I could see an SS86 finale set that includes Core Ironhide, voyager Ratchet, and maybe something like Wheeljack all in gray and dead.

But bananas are botanically classified as herbs so the joke works.

No fights possible when comparing apples and oranges.
Unless one is that guy who will put tomatoes in a fruit salad because tomatoes are technically a fruit.
and puts bananas on a herb rack XD

I’d rather a repaint of Earthrise Wheeljack in brighter white with some more paint apps and maybe his classic racing number.

I just hope it won't be a never-ending incomplete line like every other line they start. I recently discovered that the studio series fit with the legion class! I am back hunting.

Sorry you didn't know, but core, legion, and scout are all new names for legends class.

Scout class hadn't been around in a long time...

They aren't. Legion is smaller and simpler than the others. Basic, Scout, Legends and Core are all basically the same thing.

Let's hold that thought until we get some size comparisons here...
