And speaking of preorders, I just got notified by Hasbro Pulse that my preorders for the first wave of Deluxes for Evolution will be shipping soon. Yay!
Source: dude trust them
You don't need secret inside sources for shipping in port, Hasbro puts the case assortment numbers on the shipping consignments and those are publicly accessible information.
If anyone is bored enough to look it up you can figure this out for all of Hasbro's shipments, it's just laborious to do.
BBTS has updated my pre orders with these pictures as well but the link is still not active.
I certainly didn't consider that Metalhawk would be a Cyclonus retool!
Pretty extensive retool when comparing him to Cyclonus. Well done Hasbro.
Ironically just the other day I was wondering why Hastak never repaints Blaster into Twincast lol
I must be psychic or something, because waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 2012 when it was first known that BotCon 2012 would have a Deluxe class Metalhawk toy, but before it was known that it was going to use the Generations Thunderwing mold, I kept insisting that Universe 2008 Cyclonus would have been the perfect mold to use for an inner robot Metalhawk toy.
And now, lo and behold, just over a decade later, Hasbro finally makes that suggestion a reality with the Kingdom Cyclonus mold.

I think.this confirms my idea that the humanoid cassettes are somehow gang molded to Blaster's clear plastic sprue.
I wonder how many people will give POTP Metalhawk to Legacy Metalhawk to make a Pretender Targetmaster Primemaster Nonmetallic Metalhawk?

I've certainly heard others assert the same. Ridiculous decision, IMHO, but it does nonetheless seem to be what they did.
It wasn't when SG Blaster Came out?
Yeah....I'm gonna be needing that Metalhawk now....
I thought so, but even then, some were adamant that it was just a fluke and that they'd be solid a color later, though I don't know why they thought that, or why the cassettes are clear in the first place. There's a lot I don't get on this one.
Well, I'm glad I preordered both. Metalhawk and Twincast both look great.
I feel that it ties into the quickly abandoned Energon weapon theme for the line.
This sure looks like clear plastic to me...
That's the best explanation I've heard, although it's very much a "what's wrong with you people?" line of thinking.
Seriously, making the cassette-bots clear plastic... insanity....
