Well if everyone had that mentality then we wouldn't get things like Generations Abominus or Monstructor.

or Deluxe Wheelie...

God bless them for learning from the last "event". It's hard enough to wait a month for a new issue of MTMTE, it was brutal waiting for it to come back (for reals) while Dark Cybertron was happening.

Very interesting explanation as to why Alpha Bravo and that other dude (who is that? I don't recall him being named but I bet he's another of the guys that Hasbro lost the original name trademark to) are gonna be part of Superion... I'm actually interested to see where they're going with this. I wasn't really impressed with Superion previously.

As much as Superion and Defensor are cool. I want to see things like Abominus and Piranhacon, especially with so many unique molds. Same with Computron. Also, will they redo Bruticus? I kind of wonder if we'll see the Kre-o only combiners show up so they can be remolded (I want that white and Blue one in a deluxe size.)

The other dude is Powerglide (apparently, if you're talking about the RID issue with the two individuals talking to Wheeljack), TFwiki confirms he is the one talking and that Fireflight is just going to be called Firefly (brown coat of paint joke goes here)

TFwiki is a little uncertain if two of the Superion limbs are the same mold, gonna be interesting seeing how many combiners they squeeze out of a limited number of molds - a wacky Monstructor/Abominus/Predaking mess seems possible. I really do get the feeling we'll be discussing a Masquerade giftset this time next year.

Firefly and Alpha Bravo seem to be heavy retools of one another; same goes for Air Raid and Skydive.

It does look to be a plastic testshot of... something. I don't recognize the mold or the character. Looks to be a leader-class whatever it is.

Original original, the one with the weird paint job? I might be able to hook you up, I went kind of crazy with buying duplicates when the first wave of Classics came out. Let me know if that's the one you're looking for and I'll go dig into my storage boxes.

I wonder what 'titan-class' means in this context.

Also that looks like a testshot of that silver knight optimus, maybe? It has the sword and shield, and its legs don't look like Sentinel (who also had a sword and shield, I think?)

Maybe its a Prima test shot. j/k they'll do a Prima figure sometime in 2219 right before they release a Solus Prime.

A titan class combiner would mean all bets are off. You would have voyager and leader sized guys if it's going to be similar in size to metroplex.


However it would also mean that displaying such a figure would not be an issue since you don't need a space for a 2 foot tall robot because you can break him apart.

Metroplex takes up a shitload of room unless he's in vehicle mode. He's not compact in the slightest. He's huge in robot mode and splayed out in base mode.

I don't think plastic quality will be an issue. Generations arcee and elita seem to have a stronger quality plastic. I think they could be using better materials again.

We're happy to have Popeye's in the middle of flyover, KFC only cooks fresh chicken every other day.

I like the idea of a monster size devastator, but I think it's going to be the same formula as the rest - four deluxes, one voyager, one legend for around $100.

Nah, it's supposed to be a Titan like metroplex, one bigass box and done. The individual figures are allegedly somewhere between deluxe and voyager. No Prowl attachments nor alternate head apparently. :(

As long as the cat is out of the bag, that's all the facts I have as they were reported to me.
