Not even Galvatron is called a Decepticon in the movie.autobot1979 wrote:I didn't see the film yet , I am going tomorrow for the open release here in Scotland with my girlfriend. But if Galvatron that's Megatron call them "brothers", I assume these brothers are DECEPTICONS!
If they must be called anything, best term to refer to them in general (meaning both before and after the climax of the film) would be "the Prototypes".

And He was the most evil in the first film as an Alien JEt, He was wicked.
I would love if they back His vehicle mode to some thing like that.
Is too boring an earth truck for Galvatron. This truck should have been Motormaster for sure.

What can I say, I kind of wanted one after watching the movie but neither looks like they're worth it.
People were overwhelming underwhelmed by the First Edition figure.
But, I can say the Leader Class OP is worth it. He's really nice and I'm happy with him.

All mix it's not a good idea, because they don't do very detailed and complex toys, and in the same time, not so simple as might be.
It turns out that does not do very well in either sides.
They already did, with the gimmicky "Robots in Disguise" toys and the more complex "Generations Series M4" for the older kids (8+ instead of the usual 5+) and collectors. The Generations toys are of the "traditional" style, including the Deluxe, Voyager and Leader Classes.
They need to separate the complex and better ones for adults, and make the same characters, in same class size, but in less complex versions to children.
Yes, is a dream. hahahaha
But in my opinion is the better way to satisfying all the fans.
I don't know if is my mind only, but in general the toys fell in complexity, even those targeted to adults or older kids.

And, no, we DON'T deserve anything from Hasbro. We are not their target audience. The fact that they're even bothering to think about us older fans at all is a generous mercy unto itself.
We are not that "market share" for them???

I for one want leader class lockdown, Galvatron and Junkheap. Junkheap should be leader so he can split into three deluxe sized drones. Lockdown should have a Deluxe sized vehicle mode and a leader sized robot mode, and have all his weapons and mask. Maybe we will get the Vehicons in later waves, of in the interim years.
I can't visualize a Leader Galvatron. How can a robot like him (I don't see any vehicle part in his body!!) transform into a Freightliner Argosy without a HUGE backpack?

Nope. We do get acknowledged by Hasbro, despite making up about... 5%-10%? And they do monitor fan sites, but that's it. All the collector-oriented stuff are still sold as "children's toys" for greater exposure, possibly leading to more sales. Convention Exclusives can be exempted, but overall, the real Collector's Items are done by licensees like FunPub.

How recent is that ~10% statistic?

I dunno what they're called, one of the simple attack-gimmick things thinking they're Deluxes. And I got the benefit of fan-sites telling me there's a difference, I can't imagine being a clueless parent trying to figure this all out.
Like they did with the first two Movies (FAB's and such)? True, I almost died with I saw the new AoE toys at my local toy store, but upon closer inspection I saw they weren't Generations, but Power Battlers. Very deceptive.
I will give credit to Hasbro for the attempt of unifying the packaging across the whole line and the planned separation of Young Kids vs. Collectors (and Older Kids), if they made the differences between Power Battlers and Deluxes just a tad clearer, it would be perfect.
How recent is that ~10% statistic?
It's been a steady estimate for the past few years, some say it's an optimistic 20%. I don't think Hasbro has actively tried to measure it tho.

I knew that the collectors are in less porcentage, but I tought about 25%, 35%...
Is a deluded vision...

Don't be sad, we have enough of a presence for Hasbro to cater to us in the shape of exclusives and conventions, not to mention allowing us to see product in advance with their blessing. Besides, we do get shout-outs at times, that's saying something.

Guys, please use the edit button if you have more thoughts, instead of starting a new post, or utilizing multiple posts. Thank you.
As for our worth to Hasbro? I do believe they said at this year's panel that we have more pull and bigger numbers than previous years.

Watched a review that gave a comparison. His robot mode eyes are basically chest level to Metroplex. I believe it was Optibotimus.

Supreme Cheetor is still better because he actually transforms. All Grimlock does his bend over.

That's practically what SC does.
And Fortress Maximus.
And Metroplex.
Heck, when you think about it, the only "complex" supreme Transformer would be Cybertron Starscream.

What about Armada Unicron and Cybertron Primus? I'd say those two are somewhat complex.

What about Unicron? Or does he also fall under "yoga position"? At least Cheetor is still more poseable (even if he can't stand up).

Perhaps. But they're still not nearly as big as Fort Max or Metroplex.
I don't know if Stomp & Chomp Grimlock is useless... he's the only version of Grimmy big enough for AOE [Leader] OP to ride, isn't he?

I though size, in this case, did matter.

Does Cybertron Primus count as supreme class? Because hes more complex than Starscream
Posted by Sabrblade on July 5th, 2014 @ 7:51pm CDT
All of the following are Supreme class toys:
Beast Machines
* Electronic Cheetor
Armada
* Unicron
Energon
* Unicron
* Omega Supreme
* Omega Sentinel
Cybertron
* Starscream
* Cybertron Primus
(Metroplex comes close, but he was sold as a Leader)
Animated
* Roll Out Command Optimus Prime
Universe (2008)
* Unicron
Revenge of the Fallen
* Constructicon Devastator (IIRC)
Welcome to Transformers 2010
* Universal Dominator Unicron
* Creator Primus
Transformers (2010)
* 25th Anniversary Unicron
Platinum Edition
* "Year of the Snake" Omega Supreme
* "Year of the Horse" Supreme Starscream
There's also the similarly-sized but much more electronically gimmick-based Ultimate class Bumblebee toys from the first movie line and ROTF.
And the Generations Fall of Cybertron Bruticus toy made up of five Deluxes, making it almost but not quite as tall as a Supreme.

He was sold at the Supreme pricepoint. That should give you a hint.
