The thing is they could just put all that G1 movie stuff in the already G1 themed line they already have. SS continues as it is and two different groups of people get to both be happy instead of just one. I don’t see how that’s a bad thing.

What if they just make new Dinobots? An ankylosaur, brachiosaur, parasaurolophus? We got Slash the velociraptor, and she was really good. Oh, and shoutout to Dinopope, obviously.

I think they'll use this to see how Beast Wars stuff sells and if it does well enough they'll eventually spin it off into it's own thing. The concept seems pretty wild and while I'm usually pretty skeptical of remaking BW figures (the need just isn't as dire as it is with the G1 stuff) I liked PoTP Optimus Primal so I have no doubt the toys will be very cool. I'm glad they're keeping the original factions as well, it would kind of suck to make everybody Autobots and Decepticons. Maybe this will open the door to some Beast Machines homagahahhaha aha ok no you're right I'll go to bed now I need sleep

Here's hoping for a Generations Select Dinopope, retooled from leader class Snarl. Make all the weird dinosaur Dinobots. A carnotaurus guy who is scientifically accurate so he has tiny arms and resembles a sausage with long legs and a horned head. A spinaurus that looks like a huge crocodile. Those sort of things.

History Comes Inside! posted:How well do the Bayverse toys sell anyway compared to the more traditional toys? Here in SE Asia they are absolutely huge, for most collectors under the age of thirty the Bay designs are the definitive iterations of transformers, I'd say out here there's as many if not more of them at this point than there are g1 collectors. Transformers is a much bigger part of pop culture in these parts then in the west though, way more so then say Star Wars, Marvel stuff is the only thing in toys or pop culture that's really at that level. Just based on the sales in this region I would imagine Takara would keep making them if Hasbro decided they weren't going to bother anymore because they make a ton of money not just in toys but in merchandise too like children's clothes and backpacks, the theme park rides, car decals, etc. I would love to see new beast wars stuff in Siege but I'd also really dig more Unicron trilogy poo poo too and an update to Fire Convoy, so I do like the idea of a line where the previous continuities all get blurred as that seems to be the best chance of this stuff ever happening. picked these little dudes up over the weekend Doubledealer apparently came out with them too but was all sold out by the time I made my way down to the shops.

I'd love to see some new beast wars stuff. A decent dinobot that isnt priced into needing to skip food 4 times a week or leader sized TM meg would be baller as poo poo. Hell any of the transmetals or stuff like Inferno, quickdraw, silverbolt with decent wings...God theres so much potential there for good figures. Maybe Just toss a jetstorm drone in there from BM to go with the already pretty awesome tank and cycle drones that came out a decade+ ago

I kinda wish the Top Gun Transformer wasn't inexplicably covered in poo poo, but I'll probably get him anyway.

Id rather the plastic for the volleyball gimmick had went to panels to cover those ungodly forearm voids.

Deceptive Thinker posted:my paperwork says it's an earthrise starscream retool, but looking at it again nearly a year later and I can't even find a shared part Yeah, that is an intensely Macross transformation (To the point where a VF-84 or VF-103 paint job would basically be trolling Harmony Gold) and I don't see how it could share all that much outside of maybe a hip joint. I wonder how well it Gerwalks. Also looking forward to the umpteen photos of it without the tip of the nosecone tucked away in bot mode

Megatron should be a tank. What is a tank but a gun on wheels? (err....treads?) Its the perfect alt mode for him imo

I believe that Burkion was talking about a BEAST Megatron.

Yes... Think I would like more beast+vehicle triple changers though. Also want to say again how it's crazy they've not repurposed Animated S4 Megatron's toy for another line. Also having a go at watching the Brave series, would really like toys based on the Geisters. I know they are based on the G1 Dinobots but they have their own aesthetic that I dig.
