It's the Megatron Military!

Close, I think. There's a display with a boxed G1 Liokaiser, the combined CW Liokaiser, and a gray proto of the HasLab, and the latter two look comparable (HasLab is a bit taller and a fair bit chonkier and wider).

They could make it with just Scattershot himself. But then that's not necessarily untrue of Silverbolt, Long Haul, and Jarugar either. Tbh the main thing I'd be looking for in a new Computron is a more faithful Nosecone. It was unfortunate getting the G1 toy colors from the Hasbro release but...

Maybe that's why there were so many Siege Megatrons. The decoys didn't announce themselves as decoys on the packaging.

Exactly. He's always the one calling. Relationships are hard.

Man, no one ever asks "How is Cthulhu".

Make them Decepticon elites calling themselves the Bestforce. Or perennially recharging or chilling back at base and derisively named the Restforce. Or do an Ellbat and just drop the first few letters to nod to their Asian origins, calling them the Eastforce. Or baffle everyone by Aligned-ing...

See, I knew I should've looked at more degrees before picking one.

Oh, I sure wasn't absolving Japan of any sketchiness in general with that.

Ah there we go. Yeah even as a younger fan this never struck me as "of course, Japan", more a foreign-language thing (and, as unluckiness points out, it makes more sense coming from "breastplate" anyway). The only real use of it in a "huh huh huh huh, you said breast" sense I've ever seen is...

Meh, "what it is" includes good and bad, and people are calling out each in reasonable ways so far. I'm glad you have a clear plan for this in your own mind, but so do others (which may or may not include acting out battles like they're 8). People are allowed to want different specific things...

Were they using -master as something specifically connected to the planet Master? Just guessing, entirely unfamiliar.

FOOL! GALVATRON'S CANNON CAN BE ANY BODY PART IT WA-- I mean yeah, I prefer a higher mounting point too, in general. Lets him do the "cannon pointing down while he makes a menacing raised fist" pose. But it's nice to have both options.

I honestly just want the Bumblebee, and Starscream might be a distant second. So they did the distribution "smartly" here, but idk if I want either enough to bother getting both 2-packs. Oh, well. I figure someone's gonna want a Megatron. Looking forward to this conversation with myself every...

Well, that's one way to avoid happy hollowness.

Can bring the discussion about the Timelines packs to this thread now.

Bring discussion of the newly announced Timelines comic packs featuring Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Starscream here.

This is the main thing that's tempting me about any of these. Some are lateral moves, but the others seem to be at least a bit better.

It's a real shame. I can't imagine there were no improvements that could've been feasibly made on a CW style combination with the torso bots going up TWO price points. But despite that sizeable upgrade, we went from "connect five bots together add fists and feet" to "connect five bots to like...
