...So, "Optimal Situation". ;)

To be fair, Wave 1 of Legacy was kind of mid. And it just wouldn't go away.

It's funny. "Ricochet" was even already the name of a Targetmaster, but not that kind of Targetmaster.

If they knew it was a bad idea, why even bother entertaining the idea in the first place? Why add it to the Binder's lore at all if they didn't like it? They could have just written the 13th as some nebulous, unknown figure of prophecy (like they originally did!) and left it at that. If they...

Now if we could just get Hasbro to give Stepper his name back.[/joking]

The changeover to the current Hasbro Transformers team happened during the development of Kingdom, after John Warden left Transformers to go over to Ghostbusters and Power Rangers. Crosshairs was made back during his era. The current era of Mark, Evan, and BMac being the faces of the brand...

That probably was the plan, to see them get released individually, before the game was canceled. When the single Bumblebee was released, the game hadn't yet been officially canceled. But with the game's cancelation, Hasbro probably doesn't feel as strongly inclined to put the other three out...

If only they actually made it to retail.

And Cyberverse Season 3 showed the Quints using massive swarms of Prosecutor drones, so it's within their purview.

Do you have a source for this statement?

Mine does, courtesy of the Netflix Megatron 3-pack that came with Pinpointer and Lionizer.

"Greetings, Tim the Troop-builder!"

I'm just saying how amazing it is that they would use such a name, as opposed to the older Hasbro teams who more often than not seemed allergic to using Takara-original names. Like, they're making a new Big Convoy for mass retail and keeping his name as "Big Convoy". That's incredible!

I just went and edited the entry to change "the thigh swivels in particular are extraordinarily tight" to instead say "the thigh swivels in particular can be extraordinarily tight on some copies".

The thing is, the most likely reason no one at Hasbro has overridden the idea of Optimus being the 13th is because Mark Maher is a HUGE fanboy of the Covenant book and LOVES the idea of Optimus being the 13th. He genuinely thinks it is awesome and either doesn't know or doesn't get why the fans...

And knowing this current Hasbro team, they probably would name it "Noisemaze" just to be true to the original toy's name (and I could see them also dropping the "Mass Production Type Version" text to keep the name simple and more concise on the packaging).

A Wings of Honor Scourge and teal Sweep would be incredibly unexpected.

Ah, so, he's RID2001 Ultra Magnus.;)

All the more evidence that the decision to make Optimus be the 13th was a later decision.
