It didn't need to be Studio Series both times, in that case. I'd be happy to see a toy deco in Selects, but with this release I'd say it's much less likely. This could have been what the first release looked like, and I doubt anyone would really be missing out on anything (ignoring for the...

I'm struggling with this new Perceptor, I appreciate the remolding and didn't get the first one, and like the stronger teal colour, but wish they had done this up as more of a toy deco. They couldn't at least use silver paint for the chrome bits?

Commander class seems to have mostly been taken up by "Autobot leaders" and "Combiner torsos" for the past little while, and seem to maybe continue as that, but there are a lot of other large characters that could use a Commander figure.

It actually looks really good with the earthrise trailer, I've got both the nonnef kit and the toyhax stickers on the trailer too. But I would still trade all that for the figure to be a voyager.

Funnily enough, cassettes are bigger now than they have been in the last 20 years. I keep seeing them in music shops again!

Early A.I. art is Nyarlathotep.

...Red Cthulhu maybe?

Hopefully if it's a new mold, it can capture the slightly more dynamic proportions of the animation (the Titans Return mold was a bit better for this, even if much of the rest of it was iffy). The Seige mold looks a lot better in those colours, but the back of the shuttle mode looks just awful...

I consider the Seige figure to be a fun figure, but somewhat flawed from the perspective of an Astrotrain fan. The mold is too short, the alt modes are a little compromised in a way that a new mold could probably do way better, & the deco is just DRAB. I expect his purple to be a bit brighter...

They should just have all the CMF parts available on pick a brick, maybe some time after the blind bags come out.

Yeah, the wolfpack torso shows up on pick a brick sometimes, but sells out immediately. I think there's a new wolfpack castle set coming from Ideas soon too, so they're coming back a bit?

It's actually giving Botcon Doublepunch vibes to me, personally.

Didn't the same thing happen with Unicron, though?

Wasn't the "Prime lineage" idea part of Aligned already though?

Considering we ended up getting Optimus Upgrade Power Armors by the dozen ANYWAY, I'm glad we got a new character in Magnus. He's been a part of a lot of good stories over the years.

New Eternia feels like it's going off the rails a bit, doesn't it? We've gone from "Give Zodak some cool optional shoulder armour" to "make Robotto a killer terminator robot", "make Fisto have a non optional all metal arm and also he's not a ginger anymore for some reason", & "King Randor's bald...

I mean, I'd argue that once you get past his goofy design, and if he found some humility, Sky Lynx IS pretty heroic, powerful, and in the right colours...

This just makes me want to write a fanfic where the matrix went to Sky Lynx (another 1986 toy!) now. It would be glorious!

Okay, here's something a bit more pulled back: What if Autobot City had transformed (partially or wholly) into Metroplex for the movie, leading to the Metroplex toy to be released in orange instead of the gray we ended up getting?

I mean, yeah, in the real world they couldn't, but I thought we were talking about *story implications* on plot and character changes, within the confines of the movie itself. There have been lots of wild & interesting suggestions in the thread already.
