It really doesnt look like a retool to me. It looks like a totally new mold which has a similar design. The transformation is bound to be different. Also, I have no clue which ball jointed wrists you are speaking of. Feel free to provide a picture so that we better understand what you are getting at.
Oh yeah, I am pretty sure no one is regretting getting their takara grimlock even after seeing this news. Takara's deco is show accurate and you can buy it by itself, sounds like a win in my book.

That was one of the few good things about that mold. I hope I'm wrong and it's just the photography making her look like she has no wrists, but if they DID nix the articulation then that's pretty sh!tty.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that had that thought.

So it looks like Scorponok has removable claws, but it looks like he can actually attach them without removing them from his shoulders first, well done hasbro

"For the first time ever, Optimus Prime can fly."
THAT ISN'T EVEN TRUE OF THIS UNIVERSE'S OPTIMUS PRIME. Beast Hunters was only 3 years ago, people, come on. And it's definitely not the first Optimus Prime that can fly in all continuities. Ugh. Hasbro, get your facts straight.

Give the girl some credit, her presentation was good, even if the facts were a touch off.

Whoops! My mistake, she has mushroom peg wrists. Still better than no wrists at all, though.
(I don't actually own Gen Windblade because from what I've seen it's not a very good figure. Please don't shoot me.)

The Hasbro panel showed a few upcoming Robots in Disguise toys and we got the 3D renders for the Warrior class figures, the big Power Surge Optimus and the Platinum set. However, there was a ton of new stuff on the show room, giving us an idea at the vast amount of products coming out this year. This vast amount makes sense since the Investors Presentation made us aware that 70% of the Transformers toy market is dominated by Rescue Bots and Robots in Disguise (with Generations only making up 30%).
Here is a list of everything else that was revealed only through the display area:
One Step Changer Bisk
One Step Blizzard Strike Sideswipe
One-Step Changers/Advanced Optimus Prime
One-Step Changers/Advanced Strongarm
Legion Groundbuster
Legion Blizzard Strike Drift
Battle 2-pack Sideswipe with Minicon WindStrike
Battle 2-pack Strongarm with Minicon Sawtooth
Powersurge Heros Bumblebee with Minicon Buzzstrike
Powersurge Heros Sideswipe with Minicon Windstrike
Minicon 4 pack with Autobot Dragonus, Bash Breaker, Lord Doomitron, and Lancelon
3 step Energon Boost Bumblebee (with all-spark blue) and 3 step Drift (regular colours)
There is also a Warrior Grimlock rerelease which has a box with a new playability feature highlighted involving the weapon minicons.
And a slew of minicons, many of which can become weapons, such as Tricerashot, Lord Doomitron, Weapon Slipstream and Bashbreaker.

Why is Groundpounder's toy named "Groundbuster"?

I wonder why certainly would have nothing to do with copyright at all now would it?

I'm not a wizard I can't pretend to know what Hasbro is up to I'm just guessing.

The show runners not knowing if the name was available for toys, hasbro not caring enough to notify them, no plans to make a toy at the time so nobody thought it would be a problem, take your pick.

Hasbro has a history of making sure that their cartoons have used names that they can use. For them to not do so would make them look bad.Microraptor wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Why would the show give him a name that Hasbro, the company that created and owns the character, can't Trademark?Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Why is Groundpounder's toy named "Groundbuster"?

OK, So I love that new prime. I want it. and the warrior version seems to have tried to solve the enclosed fist issue by putting that blockage on the shoulders.
Bisk, Scorponok, Groundpounder, Windblade are all buys. Yes.
I want minicons so much right now.

Wait wait, so Hasbro saying we'd get an MP Sideswipe but not giving us one was fine, them never giving us the voyager Prime Breakdown (which they designed) is totally cool, and them green lighting all those Michael bay films is no problem, all the piss poor platinums being released this year are totally firgiveable, BUT it's this that makes them look bad, THIS!?!?!?!
