They need to dig the CW Protectobots molds out and release a G2 Defensor, since the original was never released

Yes, and use the correct team like the Takara release did instead of throwing Rook in there. Rook? Who the gently caress is Rook?

I dunno man the classic seeker engineering is pretty broke. Compared to the Siege tetrajets, the Earthrise upscales lose out on wrist swivels, butterfly shoulder joints, deep/double knee and elbow bends, two-axis wing motion, rotating waists, and forward/backward ankle movement. Senator Shockwave blows Earthrise Starscream completely out of the water.

Definitely strongly disagree, I love Classics Starscream (aside from his nosecone attaching to the back of his head and interfering with his ability to look left and right), and I love Earthrise Starscream even more. As a depiction of G1 earth alt mode Starscream, Earthrise/Classics is drat near perfect in my book.

Hopefully on the 20th after the Transformers presentation.

Need me that Mirage, Sideswipe, and Laser Cycle, too.

I see that Grimlock has a clear outer neck so you can see his glorious inner neck meats, and I approve.

Rook is a guy who isn't as tiny as a motorcycle. Groove is a guy who rides Defensor like the Green Ranger rides the Dragonzord.

groove is a lame protectobot and just because he was in the original I don't mind him being replaced, just like I wouldn't mind blast-off being replaced because it's a loving space shuttle amidst war vehicles, he makes zero sense being there thematically

The vehicle Starscream turned into Blast-Off in the cartoon was some kind of WW2 bomber, something like that would make way more sense.

A B-17 according to tfwiki

A Combaticon team with them all in wrecked-on-Guadalcanal form would be dope and it's weird it hasn't been tried by one of the 3Ps

But it would still leave Blast Off as by far the largest team member if they stuck to scale.

It's too bad they didn't incorporate the core robot on Ultra Magnus. I remember there being some disappointment that the Masterpiece version didn't have it either, but the recent Leader Magnus and other Commanders they've put out made it seem like a bit of a solved problem.

Though it is specifically a Studio Series version of the character, so I can understand why they'd leave it out considering Magnus in the cartoon didn't have an inner robot.

I mean, it's only a "solved problem" if you're willing to make appropriate compromises on proportions, articulation, and altmode. Kingdom made that compromise and it shows. Commander Class Magnus is looking to prioritize articulation, altmode, and proportions ahead of that particular play feature.

If anyone wants the Kingdom Leader, let me know.

I'm very tempted to make some horribly dark judgements on the team considering Nightbird is played by Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, a trans actress.
