They wouldn't have been allowed as VW have strict rules against what their licence can be used for. Bee being a good guy gets a pass.

Plus the fact that SG Goldbug was never a Volkswagen to begin with

Sorry, don’t know enough about the SG universe and figured they were all recolors of mainline versions.

Didn’t think the Centurion Drone pack was ever going to restock, figured it was a limited time deal. I probably should watch Pulse for that if it ever comes back.

It's just so hideous glorious!

Maybe they could give him some armor parts based on the Action Master?

(PLEASE just don't use the Siege mold, I can't stand that thing... )

Pretender shell optional.

I agree
Id imagine it would be more work to remove the symbol than to leave it there so it shouldn't be an issue

Well, I was more thinking they might just leave it unpainted or glue the mechanism to make it not turn

this is a little too much of the Autobots to be interesting to me anymore.

This is the LAST one? Well, I suppose that they couldn't remake everyone in SG colors. But at least they could have added Soundwave (with Ravage and Lazerbeak) and Shockwave at the very least to even things out.

Maybe, just maybe, they could sell more if the SG line wasn't a DAMN PULSE EXCLUSIVE and instead the things were available worldwide even if only at online stores?

I dunno, just a hunch.

Sabrblade wrote:They probably don't wanna jump the gun on such a gamble. Selling five figures on Hasbro Pulse is most likely testing the waters to see if they might be able to expand the line with more figures sold at more venues later. After all, this is a line that goes against the very heart of the Transformers series, consisting entirely of Evil Autobots and Heroic Decepticons. That's a risky move from a marketing perspective.

Maybe. But Canadians must pay 30$US of shipping for a single figure (plus taxes) and the rest of the world can't buy anything. That's a test with only the Americans in mind. That's way too small for a sample.

I don't call the line to be available at Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us. worldwide Independent online stores that specialise in nerdy collectors would be more than enough.

Indeed, it will be Dark Skyfire in my collective.

I think this repaint was long overdue and should have hit Generations Jetfire...'nuff said!

What rumors? That they're making him? I have heard any details.

I've seen several tweets with screencaps from TFW, I think, about Motormaster being a Commander-class figure with combiners being done again. I haven't seen anything about it in a couple of months, but back in May, there were many tweets about it.

Sentinel_Primal wrote:I believe the Motormaster rumor is that because of how poorly recieved the CW Stunticons as a whole were, they're redoing Menasor, but they're not diving into redoing them, and Menasor is serving as a test for whether or not there's a demand for redone combiners
