Funny thing about that is, they're ostensibly the next wave of the Comic Edition line, but we didn't give Comic Edition its own thread.

Not even Swerve's bar or the My First Blaster? ;)

He also looks a little sad, as he's all blue in the face.

Missed this before... It's not entirely as clear cut as that. It's true that when the show first started, Galaxy Force presented itself as a new universe separate from its two predecessors. And it is true that, around 2007, there was a new timeline published on Takara's website that gave the...

Well, that, and the fact that they initially tried to promote Prime as a show that could stand on its own without the need of a toyline to support it, which just made people beg for toys even more. And when they did finally make a proper toyline for it, it was aimed at a much younger...

Wing Saber's special. He's a figure everyone wanted because he combines with Optimus. In two configurations. The rest of the Energon line isn't too hard to come by for cheap. But Wing Saber is exceptional, even if he is just a brick in robot mode.

Universe 1.0 named him "Overbite". :p

The fact that they spelled Hellbat's name correctly in the Hasbro Pulse email announcement makes me think that they really really tried to use his name for this release (after all, they bothered to keep "Killbison" as such instead of "Ironbison"), but just couldn't pass legal without removing the H.

Hasbro used "Leozack" and "Guyhawk" previously, for the BotCon 2009 toy and the Combiner Wars toy, respectively.

So what's the excuse for "Leozak", "Jaruga", and "Gaihawk"? All of them are misspellings too, of "Leozack", "Jallguar", and "Guyhawk".

The Combiner Wars set went with "Fellbat".

The reveal video: Four names misspelled, though one is to be expected due the use of "Hell" in the name, though both his name and that of Guyhawk were spelled correctly in the Hasbro Pulse email announcement, while Leozack is "Leozak" and Jallguar is "Jaruga" in both the video and the email.

Octane's role in "Starscream's Ghost" was supposed to be Blitzwing, Blitzwing's role in "FFOD" was supposed to be Shockwave... Hasbro's toy-shilling mandates really held back the storytelling potential in these cases.

...Ciencin only wrote a novel. He had nothing to do with the Dreamwave comics proper.

Isn't Skybound doing something like this?

You won't get any argument from me about that. Unfortunately, we're talking about writers who tended to keep the characters static and learn the same lessons over and over again (if they learned any at all, that is), such as Starscream repeating his same schtick over and over again despite his...

The thing is, the Exodus novel (which was the one piece of Aligned media that was the closest in spirit to the original backstory described in the Binder of Revelation) leaned heavily into the idea of Orion Pax being just an ordinary guy who was called upon to rise up and be something more, not...

You. Yes, you! You need to go back in time to 2007~2010 and convince Hasbro to go with this take for the Thirteenth Prime, because if we absolutely have to be stuck with the Thirteenth being some super special dude fated to be the best there ever was, then this is the most brilliantly elegant...

Ravage's timeline tamperings occurred in earlier chapters. I feel like Simon Furman attempted to come up with an explanation when he introduced Primus as a character and all his Marvel designs depicted him in a Rodimus-like appearance, as if to say that Hot Rod was like a mortal incarnation of...
