Okay. I like the Monster Pretenders' stupid alt modes, but I could deal with this.

Here's my big question: Powerlinx Armada Optimus Prime, yay or nay?Somebody mentioned it awhile back, with zero proof to support, maybe an upcoming capsule could be Armada based. And I just keep thinking about it.
Powerlinx Hot Shot Pulsecon Exclusive is out for that.
Leader - Galvatron
Voyager - Thrust. We already saw an image of a jet that most of us guess to be him on the Powerlinx HS box.
- Thundercracker / Powerlinx Starscream. Seems like a no brainer. Along with a slight remold to Skywarp that will be an impossible to find Target store exclusive.
Deluxe - Wheeljack - This has to be a given with the G2 Sideswipe that was shown, right?
- Thrust - he would be a Needlenose repaint and a deluxe class would fit him better anyway than Voyager scale wise.
But who else?
Could a Junkion be retooled for Smokescreen / Hoist?
Crashbar into Sideways?
It was hinted in a Hasbro Live that Tidal Wave is possibly on the way.
Now that we have seen Jolt, you would have to think other Minicons are being considered, maybe a new Star Saber team? 6 pack like the Galactic Odyssey set, but better?
MAYBE a Skullgrin remold into Demolisher? But I don't want Demolisher without Cyclonus, so unless he would be a new mold I don't think he is happening.
Other thoughts?

And I don't mean in terms of wanting one, but rather, in terms of whether Hasbro would re-release a repaint at that price point (that isn't, like, five guys who make one bigger guy).
Didn't the Galaxy Force colours get used for the Japanese (Leader Class?) Prime OP? I've got one with chromed weapons and greyish/black legs. It's a nice, "Powermaster Prime" styled figure.I get that. I think a bit part of what I like about Powerlinx Prime's color scheme is the similarity to his subsequent Energon colors. So not only is the deco not G1, it's also not just a one-off. It's a whole other thing.
That's probably why I also always liked Cyberton Prime's confusingly named Galaxy Force color scheme. If only the Leader got that color scheme I might not care as much, but multiple bodies got it. It got to be its own whole alternate thing. It's fun when weird alternate color schemes get multiple toys.
K-Mart was the only place where I couldn't wait for them to ship my pants...Oh. Let’s also not forget the K Mart version and that lovely gold.
Still to this day, that Commercial holds up.K-Mart was the only place where I couldn't wait for them to ship my pants...
