Slight deviation ... there's a picture floating around that shows Megatron who can turn into a gun, but that gun then combines with a green tank (ala G2) which then transforms into a combined mode.

Wait, what? I hadn't heard about that at all!

Although Megatron turning into a gun automatically makes me suspicious.

It wasn't official, guessing it was a fan art thing. Can't even find it now, knew I should have saved it.

I wonder if Takara would consider a box set with PotP Starscream, and then 4 repaints of the "Ghost Starscream" Unite Warriors mold as Thundercracker, Skywarp, Sunstorm, and Acid Storm.

Somebody actually complaining about not enough repaints?

As long they're pertinent, I have no issue.

I'll continue to insist on the next ten years about this missed opportunity in CW :

So to the best of my knowledge THIS IS FAN ART. Recent too judging by the date, and the fact they've drawn in how a Prime Master would work.

Once again.
FAN ART

So basically you get a prime master, when a pretender, head master, target master and power master all get together and have a baby.

Those Leaders are all we saw in the leaks, yes, but those leaks only show what was "planned" for the first four (three? I'd trust Will on this one) waves. Since at this point we can be fairly certain PotP will be 6 waves, that leaves at least two waves' worth of Leaders (and every other class too) that we haven't yet seen.

3 waves of Prime Masters, Legends, Voyagers and Leaders, and 4 waves of Deluxes, were revealed in the leak, so its both the first 3 and 4 waves dependant on size class, that we know about.

Talking of said interview, I unfortunately don't think we can expect a new-mold Decepticon Leader-class either We did get a ton in TR though so oh well.

I might be slightly more interested in the Leaderclass toys if they torsos are swapable between any other toy.

Otherwise I'm getting a mediocre Optimus Prime truck with an unusable/undesirable cab that Transforms into someone who shouldn't exist (anymore if at all) so basically the whole set is only a display piece for robot mode - if it has a secret base mode then that Might help I guess (a bit) But it's under-decorated and a bit boring looking to me.

I would likely like it more if they re-mould it into Nemesis Prime and totally redo the legs and chest of the cab-robot so it looks like Optimus and eventually reissue the toy in double Optimus form - I certainly NEVER want to see that Orion Pax ever again. they need to remould it and only ever use that for re-issues.

Perhaps if they do plan to do an Ultra Magnus with that design then that will provide a proper Optimus - and they can release that as just a cab in a gift set that would be acceptable then Orion Can go in the back of a deep dark draw to be forever forgotten like he deserves to be.

-----

Rodimus is OK - nothing special but OK - again if he has a trailer-gun mode or a secret base mode that would help - otherwise he's under-designed.

-------

Optimal Optimus : Would it have killed them to put some wheels on it ?
If they had to castrate the Monkey mode they could have at least put some winglets on the surfboard mode or perhaps some flip out wheels so it can double up as a cab for Optimus or Rodimus.

Main robot is OK but the lack of the ground vehicle mode annoys me - it's like an extra insult on top of the missing Monkey Mode for Deluxe Primal.

---------

The probably should do a Megatron/G2 Megatron or a Megatron/Galvatron one since he's one of the few to actually be seen evolving.

Also it might help apologise for the dreadful TR Voyager Galvatron toy.

Alternatively throw G1 compliance in the trash and make an Armada/Energon Evolutions toy instead. all you need to do is make a Deluxe Tank Megatron and an Ultra Energon Megatron and combine them in the usual way.

I'm sure the line is "Fine" overall. But as I said before I'm not going to see any of it on a shelf very often so I likely won't ever get any great attachment to it for that reason - I can't get attached to something if I know I'll only be able to collect it online. I like to buy toys in person sometimes.

But judging by the complete and total lack lack of The last Knight toys of any merit - (if being as bad as it was when they were UK TRU exclusives) I think Hasbro is in trouble here - as they simply won't have the outlets to get the numbers.

No wonder 80% of what I buy now is 3rd party and what I buy that isn't is things like the odd bit of RID or some Rescue Bots as that is all there is around here.

I'm sure they are perfectly fine - I just don't expect to see them so I don't feel inspired to feel to invested yet. I guess sometime around Easter I might be able to pick some up in The Entertainer or Smyths sales.

But if they keep costing £20.00 - I'd rather spend that money elsewhere.

Nothing much wrong with it - it's just a bit boring.

Perhaps some people were expecting something more Powermaster like and were feeling disappointed with it.

I'm in a bad place as I'm at best barely tolerant of Orion Pax. But that said I'm not sure what I think about the likely hood that Elita-1 is going to be taller than him either.

I think Elita-1 may end up displaying better with the TR toy instead.
