Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Kurona wrote:So I'm not the only one that noticed an odd little Last Stand of the Wreckers trend going on in this line, right? Like, it seemed to be the main theme alongside 1987 toyline and Triple Changers.
It accounts for most the Deluxe molds not related to 1987 characters - Perceptor, Jumpstarters - there's a clear LSotW design intent in Kup and Perceptor (right down to his sniper rifle in the case of the latter), we got not only the main villain Overlord but we also got the full set of Phase Sixers -- a concept originating from that story, and involving the otherwise extremely obscure Black Shadow.
So with all that, does anyone else think we might get remaining characters like Impactor or Ironfist bless his spark as new-head retools in as-of-yet-unrevealed boxsets?

I foresee and impactor coming sooner rather than later. Probably in Power of the Primes. He is one of the main TF characters still without a good representation in toy form from Hasbro proper (along with Elita one). Then again, we dont have a good Ratchet either, which is a real shame.
Anyways back to your talk on LSOTW, I totally see those vibes too and somehow instead of being overjoyed it makes me sad that the Overlord we are gettign doesnt give me any vibes from the comic. I dont know what it is but even though they have the same components and overal colour scheme, I dont see IDW overlord in that toy, at all. I instead see only the G1 toy.
Waitwaitwait..you don't count that one from the Universe line?! Brawn that is. That little one a few years ago. Totally not as awesome but still qualifies maybe..?Randomhero wrote:I wish I had the optimism as others and say "it's a popular character so a toy has to be coming" nothing against anyone who does but i like to think of myself as a realist with toys. Like a said a week ago or so, it took 11 years to get a classics Brawn. 6 years to get a retail release of classics thundercracker. I honestly don't look at who's popular in the comics

Is this like Sixshot where you don't have to take out the Titan Master in head mode for the vehicle mode?

For me, it's a 'retool' in as much as the toys still function the same, and are rather clearly based on each other.

Then would't this make them... "reshells"? That's a word that's been tossed around in recent years since the likes of Voyager Springer and Sandstorm.steals_your_goats wrote:Real talk though, should they even be considered retools?
