Still, Scavenger is a strange TM to homage. One of my personal favourites (not that TM had a "bad" one) but I distinctly remember he was a notorious shelfwarmer.

What's more, Legacy Inferno has Scavenger's chest detail sculpted inside his ant head.

I wonder how many Scavenger parts are built into the mold. :-? Maybe just some mechanical ant legs and drill weapons with the right plastic and paint could make a convincing Scavenger?

Yeah, that is really interesting. I wonder what the intention was when including the Scavenger decals? Especially since they aren't listed as the default form. As far as I can recall, Inferno and Antagony are the only BW Ant Bots. So some kind of extensive Botcon-like redeco is unlikely.

Well, Scavenger was originally created at all in order to be a Transmetal Inferno (which is even more obvious when one realizes that Scavenger ended up being the only Transmetal 1 who didn't represent a show character), but had his name changed due to the pre-Transmetal Inferno toy still being on the shelves in large quantities at the time.

The current Hasbro team were likely aware of Scavenger's original intent and thus created the Legacy Inferno mold with built-in Scavenger tooling in order to pay homage to that origin, complete with a pre-tooled alternate head to give us a pseudo pre-Transmetal Scavenger, so that those who want a new modern figure of BW Scavenger can have one, even if it's not an actual Transmetal version like the original toy was.

Rhinox, Dinobot and Inferno. The show Transmetals that never were... Sigh

As said before, I do think these little Easter eggs as further proof that the Transmetals will likely never return, as they were. They are as niche as the Fuzors, although they would require less in-universe explanation.

I like they use the TM head to tell Inferno and Antagony apart, though.

The fact that they also made BW Ravage furry when his original Takara toy was also a Transmetal (though, one representing his Cybertronian body in-universe) seems to further reinforce this, sadly.

If anything, I'd be happy if they just reissued the original Transmetal 1 toys. A pipe dream would be reissues with new robot heads that were more cartoon-accurate and less "Ninja Turtle angry".

I don't know, I think there's a really good chance of Transmetals happening in the near future. They've done all of the season 1 characters, the logical next step, aside from more off screen characters like the upcoming Snarl (technically on screen Tazmania Kid but you know what I mean), is Transmetals and Fuzors. We already have listings for Voyager Silverbolt and Leader Tigerhawk for next year so it isn't a stretch to say Transmetals are also on the table in the coming years.

Those are the ones I would have liked to see onscreen. I think the somewhat tiny TM Rhinox figure would have been grossly out of scale with what the show would have done with the design. TM Terrorsaur and Waspinator would have been fun to see in motion too. But those three were the main ones I saw as a missed opportunity.

Add Quickstrike to the mix and they are just the show Fuzors. None of them were the most interesting designs ala Air Hammer, Sky Shadow etc

I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm disappointed with Strongarm. Her head just looks giant and cartoony next to her body. I like the character and was excited to see her G1-ified, but this just looks like a G1 body with a RID head attached. Honestly, no offense to anyone who likes it, it's just not for me.

Don’t know why, but every time i see Bludgeon, i think Cybertron Unicron.

Would a Selects retool be out of the question?

It's not even a skull motif. That Unicron simply has no lips.
