Once and again, side-by-sides of the older toy and the new one would be very interesting and useful. (In-hand is obviously better so you can see size differences better, but even switching between two images is helpful.)

Especially as exclusives, which are a special category anyway. "Only this store carries it" is IMO significantly more important to know/remember than "which very similar trade dress to look for."

In further crossover action, I wonder how Seaspray would look as Luke's landspeeder. Probably too much remolding necessary, but IMO the base engineering could work.

I'd forgotten about Multiforce. I think it's doable, especially with some creative combiner kibble. We already have hand-foot-gun precedent-- some weapons that also allow connections isn't much of a stretch. Some kind of armor that attaches to a figure to make it (or two of them) a torso.

To me, it sounds like a combiner name. If they could make a combiner with just one mold, IMO that'd be ideal. (No, I don't know *how.* I'm sure it's doable but complicated.) Limb-to-torso (or part of torso) AND a vehicle mode AND a robot mode is a big ask, but maaaan it would be so, so cool.

Grimstone. For that extra bit of confusion.

Omnibots and Minispies might disagree. (And where's my Deceptitran figure?) (harumph)

I'm surprised BBTS, TFSource, and the like aren't carrying any of this line. I feel like I'm missing something. (Maybe something painfully obvious, even.)

I like the "character mistakenly colored as someone else" ones because those are often good color schemes that would work on a lot of body-types/molds, but they're identified with a particular individual. Or they're inexplicable new members of a defined, color-co-ordinated team (Constructicons...

Construction Shockwave should come with Core Class Shockblast and Sixshot. (CW Shockwave and Legacy Shockwave are both so, so good.)

The fact that MicroVerse was a multi-brand line makes me even sadder I missed out. I haven't checked, but I bet they're much too expensive for me now. (Also, all those loose parts!)

They did ask if we were ok with the show being part of Studio Series, and redecos are cheaper than new figures, so it's not *that* farfetched. (I need one of them to be named Deep Cut.) Edit/update: also hooray for potential new characters!

I miss the original Cyberverse. Tiny normal-sized guys allowed for much more manageable playsets. We didn't get many, but the idea was great. (Also the vehicle trailers were fun.) Actually, I guess I really miss MicroVerse. I got into Beast Wars late enough to get Arachnoid on sale, and...

My guess is that we'll get RiD Prowl and X-Brawn before the Trains. And I think it'll be a bit before those two show up. Lot of other characters from other series in the way IMO. (The group I'm wondering about most is the Energon Autobots-- they almost have to include the combination gimmick...

There's supposedly some exclusive version of Studio Megs coming up, so who knows what deco that'll have, or if it'll even be that different. But I could see toy-based, comic-based, and reformatting-based decos before even getting into weirder stuff.

This kind of thing is one of the many many reasons I liked early IDW so much. No millions-year slumber, but a nice, small-scale local secret war. Megatron and Optimus don't even show up right away. There's no way you can sustain that, really-- eventually there needs to be an escalation or a...

Micronus himself is Core-ish, so I think that's worth at least half credit.

There's something charmingly ad hoc and "obviously not a disguise" about it IMO. Like, pre-Earth (or Nebulan, etc.) altmodes don't have to look like anything in particular, so why not just have one's arms stick out? (As a toy or display piece, yeah, it's visually lacking. As much as I can...

And Alchemist has spectacles. If it's a build-a-thing, it's gonna be sub-Mikor levels of coherence, I think. I'm leaning towards some kind of holder or display thing or *maybe* they all fit on some presumably unannounced figure. Like a Hot Rod that "wields" them all at once. (or a Thunderwing)

Were there three? I remember the blue scorpion one and the big yellow-black-red one and OH THAT'S RIGHT I forgot the mutant hellbeast, my favorite!! (officially "inferno creature" but I know what they meant) ANYWAY I love love love the way Alpha Trion holds his pen. He's this super-smart...
