Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

I think core energon Megatron is going to be the tank that goes with the larger Energon Megatron we would get as a leader.
Except that would be core-class Armada Megatron. If it's labeled as Energon Megatron, I would assume they actually went for Energon Megs (unless they did something stupid and made an abomination with the Armada altmode and the Energon robot mode).william-james88 wrote:First-Aid wrote:I am dramatically annoyed that Energon Megatron is only going to be Core sized, but heartened that maybe the Unicron Trilogy will get some additional love besides Armada and Cybertron.

His animation model didn't have visible windows, but - as those pictures unambiguously show - his toys very plainly did. And I think they were looking too much at that for the Legacy version.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:like Prime Bulkhead, where I think they were focusing too hard on...

It's funny you say that, because while Animated Bulkhead did use the transformation they used for the Legacy toy, the Prime Bulkhead didn't even has visible windows on his chest, just the doors with the windows seemingly retracted into the door where they weren't visible.
Well, it's possible they've changed their minds on that during development. But still, based on Prowl, they should at least turn out decently. And I'm still hoping for Leader-class Animated Starscream. Because G1-ified or not, it would be REALLY nice to have an accurately-designed Animated Starscream that wasn't a Legends-class toy without a proper pelvis. Most Animated toys did a good job on the designs, but Starscream's Voyager and Activators toys f'd up royally.Sabrblade wrote:They said in a previous interview that all of the Animated figures would be G1-ified just like the Prime figures.

Personally, I don't see a Core-class version of Energon Megs as precluding a bigger one, and I actually see some appeal in getting a "distance model" version. Additionally, I'm wondering if it's a pretool of a Core-class G1 Galvatron (who we're thoroughly overdue a distance model/travel-size toy of)

Can you care to explain how exactly that would "make perfect sense"?LinaNui wrote:It would make perfect sense that the Core Energon Megatron listing and what is being referred to above is meant to be the tank accessory that the original Energon Megatron came with.
Yes, it would. And what would make sense, would be for that figure to be a core-class Armada Megatron.LinaNui wrote:I think it would be awesome if we could get his gun/tank as its own figure that could interact with a later wave Leader Energon Megatron.
Well, I don't think it's just SS86 Sweep that nixed that. I think it's SS86 Sweep together with the fact that they already gave us a Lazy Halfassed Fracas back when they did the Phantomstrike set.SpaceEagle wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Hopefully Hasbro will also reissue the Decepticon ones from TR, especially Slugslinger and freakin' Misfire (**** the eBay prices for him right up the-)
The aftermarket prices are terrifying - I will forever be grateful for my luck at finding Slugslinger on shelves. Hopefully you get your hands on those two, they're fantastic figures. (I'm still hoping there'll be a redeco of SS86 Scourge with all the toy-accurate goodness and his TM buddy Fracas like they did with Cyclonus...though I feel the release of SS86 Sweep nixed that, and that does not cut it in my book!)
