Yup, the altmode and most of the robot mode is very Impactor. Things end up in the same places. It's just the back-mounted treads in robot mode that are particularly Siege Megatron.
It's partly fatigue and partly because even for those of us who want the usual characters, well... We have them now already.
Part of it is also just having wanted the obscuros forever for one reason or another. The 90s were around the time I could first more directly experience Transformers...
It's nice, and the mold is good-looking enough to wear any colors well. But if we're getting anything retooled into Stalker, I agree Doubledealer has to be it.
I REALLY wish they'd do a Pepsi Prime conversion set for Earthrise. It seems like a simple enough thing to paint, but not that simple.
I think the Armada Megatron option makes more sense than Kingdom Galvatron. Tank mode, bulky and squarish, greebly. As opposed to the rounded shapes that arr all over the G1 Galvatron design. Maybe they can change the tall tread shoulders but the rest works.
I could even see the Siege Megs...
(Part of my point that I didn't make explicit that it was also kind of amplified and fleshed out in the movie, because the biblical account never really delves into that relationship much. So the notion of this almost archetypical plot arc for rival-brothers-turned-bitter-enemies is fully-formed...
I skipped Armada Megatron to wait for the Galvatron redeco (the only time so far this has paid off... hopefully, MW Starscream/Euro G1 Skyquake, RID Cryotek, and Universe Razorclaw are due at SOME point), but I'm not totlly sold on it. I wish there were a version of it that was more toy colored...
It's a fairly common brotherly plot arc throughout history (literary and otherwise), especially if the endpoint is to pit them on opposing sides. One Transformers Prime page alludes to its depiction in "Prince of Egypt", of all things.
The "no new molds" thing is easily addressed by releasing a new mold first through the main line, THEN making the capsule.
I mean, expecting a Commander class redeco in a capsule is also a tall order, but that's a separate feasibility question. (But a Voyager cab robot? With an Earthrise style...
