In the years since, Black Shadow has gone on to be either a solo act or a member of a different team, like the Phase Sixers.

Yet if these selections were based on exposure. Would the Battlechargers have had three releases since their debut??

Cool, maybe we get a Termagax at some point.

If we make the distinction between club and regular releases, Black Shadow has one up them.

That is true. Meanwhile the reality is, in light of four (more with 3P) releases. You can count the media appearances of Runabout and Runamuck on one hand.

It's not really the amount that matters, it's the role they had in those appearances... which isn't really much for TV. That's where the comics come in.

:EDIT: And I just realised I miscounted their toys:

Black Shadow
G1
Generations/Adventure
Titans Return

Battlechargers
G1
GF Runabout/Cybertron Runamuck
Collector's Club
Adventure
Earthrise

Still remember how unceremoniously they were killed off in Furman's Devastation.. "Acceptable losses". The rare Decepticon Car Bots (not part of a Gestalt), never mentioned again.

Bringing it back around, there are so few Copter Bots. Blue Bacchus (and, in turn Crossblades) deserve more of a shot than these recency biased nobodies.

I got Axlegrease and she's pretty damn good! Even more solid than Scraphook. I never paid attention to her altmodes on the pictures so I was surprised that she was a "MadMax" car instead of a toeing. She still have the hook though. I'm also pleased that they made an effort to make an actual fembot with that heavy retooling.

I have a thing for Nemesis repaints so of course I had to get Nemesis Leo. He's quite the bad-ass in bot mode...

...and quite the herp-derp dopey boy in lion mode. I LOVE it!

The fact that they colored in his lion eyes makes me worry that Hasbro might eventually do a package refresh of normal Leo Prime with his own lion eyes properly colored too, which would make me regret getting the figure's first release with the dead yellow eyes.

I hope that Javelin figure is good. That is a sweet design. I really liked IDW 2.0. It started out a bit slow, but was good. Also prolly my most wanted figure to be announced is a Geomotus. Love his design and character. Thought that would never happen, but this could be it. Maybe a retool of Cosmos? Thats about the only one I could think of, since I would hope he is a new mould.

I would be shocked if Hasbro or Takara Tomy didn't do a toy colors version with painted eyes and gold mane at some point.

TakaraTomy: Premium deco for Beast Wars Again
Hasbro: Flash Leo Prime for Selects

:-?

Speaking of painting, I feel the need to paint in some details on the Core Dinobots...

Wouldn't the BWA version basically be the retail version with painted eyes for cartoon accuracy? It would also require a Galvatron be made first.
I think Selects would go toy style. Flash... maybe a different type of exclusive like Burning Convoy.

And a BWA release would also require an episode of BWII to go with it.

I wonder if they would include "Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger" as an episode of BWA since it features Primal?

Cutting That up into 15 minute intervals would be a challenge.

I wish the shelves were cleared with "clearance" on such shelf/peg warmers as Galvatron, Blitzwing, Skidz, Crankcase, Prime Arcee etc. already! :BANG_HEAD:

They actually can't as that would mean the whole Legacy assortments, both first-year and Evolution, would no longer be stocked. My local Walmart actually did that with Core Iguanus (VERY much a pegwarmer), and now they no longer stock Legacy Core, period (no Dinobots for me :-(
