I'd be down for that. Heck, I'd love new versions of all the Kiss Player cassettes. They did the Kiss Player Autotrooper! The deal's been broken!

G-ddamn. Machine Wars Optimus turning into a torso while two ER Hoists and two KI Mirages hang unwieldy off his limbs with 3P connectors actually sounds kinda amazing.

The Legacy Motormaster mould apparently has that Thunderclash alternate tooling worked in, so it would work as MW Optimus. Problem is... it's also a Combiner torso/frame. So even if you went out of your way to never mention it on the box... it's still there. And people will make their own...

That Galvatron mould has to be one of the most unpleasant experiences I've ever had with a Transformers toy. And they used it forever, it seems. In every iteration of Galvatron's colour scheme, as if getting the balance between the purple and blue to make the right blurple would somehow make...

Regarding MW slander... It's a mess of a line. Absolutely. It was a rush job. They didn't even make sure the paint schemes and stickers matched the new colour schemes of the moulds they were using. Like Starscream has black paint... on a black toy. The boxes, instructions, and decos can't...

So you complained about TT doing ML in the first place but you bought the KO? Whatever dude.

Autobot shuttles

Anyhow, speaking of Machine Wars...

First of all, it's all good. My apologies if that came off poor on my end. Last few days haven't been super great for me either, and I sort of just came to the MW set idea as a pleasant distraction. I knew it wasn't ideal as I was making it, but I had a central conceit in mind and tried to work...

anyhow Metroplex's buddies Babyface Cy-Kill is best Cy-Kill Galaxy Shuttle! And the licenced NASA dudes...

Look, did I miss something? I don't think you and I have ever said a cross word to each other, and I certainly have no ill will towards you, but you're coming awfully hard, and rather snippy, at me for something I whipped up on a whim after work. Still, I'll answer your (implied) question. The...

I think Legacy Downstrip with a new head would be a closer match to MW Prowl/Mirage then PRiD Dreadwing was to Metroplex 🤷🏻‍♂️ Like I said, you could pull it off by making Prowl/Mirage and Hubcap/Hoist moulds closer to their originals, but that would leave Optimus as a combiner torso/frame...

Eh, I think all the mould choices I picked would be closer than BotCon's attempt. Most would only need new heads. AotP Swindle into Hoist/Hubcap would probably be the one requiring the most retooling (probably... haven't actually seen the mould yet but I assume jeep to tow truck would require...

You could probably get away with Optimus as a Legacy Laser Prime retool (and have it be a double deep cut since the MW Optimus box art used Laser Prime's art as a base) except that, apparently, Legacy Motormaster already has the Thunderclash tooling worked out for it. So getting MW Optimus from...

Siege Spinnister. Heck, they're doing a Rotorstorm retool of him for the Wreckers vs Mayhem capsule so the new tooling's already done.

Thing is... so am I. I REALLY like that G2 capsule. It's probably my favourite they've done. But man... Machine Wars 😔

I agree. Honestly? I think I've been a fan of all of the capsules they've done. Velocitron is probably my least favourite overall and I still have a good chunk of it. But still... if Mark's story is accurate it means that at some point they had "Machine Wars" and "Cancelled G2 Decos" on the...
