I.. don't know how I feel about that lol

The whole point of transformers is they transform!

... but, titan-sized combiners would be pretty rad. I'd like Bruticus, on account I had no desire to dive into all the extremely cool looking but devastatingly expensive 3P stuff.

New Menasor coming next year, with Deluxe limbs and Commander Class torso, so that doesn't seem to be it. Rumors of a Metroplex 2.0 have swirled for a couple years now.

Are there any pics of that? I got back into TF right around CW and just missed out on Menasor, which sucks because he's my favorite combiner.

Two tips for the wise:
1. Buy an AK-97 assault rifle.
2. If there's someone hanging around your neighborhood you don't know, shoot him.
It's still a month away but is anybody going to TFCon Baltimore? I'm excited to go to a convention again. Usually the TFCons I go to are within driving distance but this will be the first flying any-con in a long time for me. $99 for a 7am flight from Detroit, woohoo! GenCon just finished in Indianapolis and hopefully they did ok COVID-wise. And Origins is later this month. TFCon should be a much smaller affair though. I'm hoping to maybe pickup some SS figures I've been sleeping on and a couple cheaper MP figures. Some hard-to-finds (e.g. Punch/Counterpunch) and knick-knacks would be ok too, but this is the first TFCon where I'll have to worry about luggage.

No pics yet, just leaked SKUs from retailer listings. Given how the line is going I'd assume it'll be pretty drat show accurate, though, certainly in comparison to the CW one.

I have no idea how well the Ark transformer will do or how many of these behemoths the market can bear, but Nemesis seems like a natural progression. Biggest problem design-wise is probably that the Ark is a much simpler object that can support its own weight while Nemesis would need some kind of stand.





If they tried to make titan versions of the Quintesson ships, it'd get even more complicated to deal with that absurd geometry.



I guess they could also make another Cybertron/Primus, but that has its own weird structural issues depending on how much more they wanna tackle the crazy geometry of the planet as it shows up in the cartoon, with its massive open cavities.

I've read rumors that the new Metroplex is Cybertron Metroplex, the giant excavator. I'd rather have a Tidal Wave though.

I wouldn't mind an updated G1 Metroplex but I'm not sure what they'd do with it to distinguish it from the last one. Maybe make it shorter and squater to look more like the G1 character and not tower over Trypticon?

I would absolutely love transforming versions of the maximal/predacon ships, that would rule.

predacon ship might be a bit difficult but the maximal one would definitely work.

so the Axalon's bridge module is a Weaponizer that disassembles and combines with Mainframe to make another robot whose name is also a ReBoot pun, the entire set comes with the Vok Transmetal Driver ala the Ark's golden discs OR the Vok Obelisk from The Trigger OR the Vok pod thing that beamed up Optimus in that first season episode OR all three if you want to charge out the rear end for it

e: oh poo poo do the Vok Metalhunter and somehow it transforms with that giant megatron face in it

Action Master Depth Charge with transforming Starhopper spaceship (how do you know he wasn't an action master YOU DONT) Since canonically the one time we saw it crash into water it immediately sank it's safe to say it'd have to transform into something other than a submarine

Screen accurate Beast Machines Deluxe Jetstorm and Obsidian Thrust too but you have to do a Highlander reference on the packaging because the voice actor was in the 90's tv series

Beast Machines Cybertropolis Playset with Deluxe Botanica (lmao lol)

Brand Crossover! Beast Machines ChiaPlanet Cybertron

There was a female spaceship in Gobots called Pathfinder, she was kinda like the old Cylon ships. They should introduce her and make them the cutest space ship couple going.
