Maybe New Prime is just their sneaky way of getting fans to demand the return of Old Prime, now called Optimus Prime Classic.
...wait just a second... Rodimus Prime confirmed!
My guess is they're reworking some Combaticons into Autobots. Alpha Bravo is obvious, but Guzzle as a Voyager only makes sense if they're repurposing Brawl.
In MY day, we didn't have old people! We'd sit up with our red Bumblebees, trying to see if some sort of hidden panel existed to show the mechanical detail on the package art that the actual toy didn't have, scratching up the roof with a butter knife in the process! Then we'd pull out the legs...
If Hasbro is depending on the SAME people rebuying over and over, that's not actually a good thing anyway, as it means they're not expanding their market. And sooner or later all collectors will 'age out', one way or the other. One of the reasons I still wholeheartedly support the kiddie lines...
What is the shoulder issue that I've seen people talk about in other forums? I don't have any version of these molds, so I haven't honestly been paying attention. I knew that the original leg-bots had a lot of clear plastic, and it looked like the G2 set might have swapped it for solid (though...
Star Wars/Marvel has an advantage in having already-existing simpler and smaller lines, that would be easy to adjust. But at the same time, those same lines have a LOT of redundancy in both sizes and features, and a great many other licencees. I could see them narrowing a bit, and very...
I have had parts of Bruticus multiple times since Energon and never finished it, then thought AOTP was out of the running but managed to start it despite everything. Now to see if the track record continues regardless...
If you're fabulously wealthy, financially irresponsible, and/or totally insane (I recommend all three at once for best results) you can now get a 1:1 oxygen destroyer replica for $3500. Batteries required, not included...
That's an even better idea. Any and all slightly different colored 'spares' on the shelf could be waved off that way and you can claim to have no character duplicates, too!
Claim they're the emergency backups. Multiple Breakdowns and Dead Ends are kept on hand at all times in slightly different color schemes in case of actual physical or mental breakdowns.
So it will be a 'more or less paint' option and possibly solid vs clear plastic? I could understand the Hasbro vs Takara decoys when they were seriously different like Ruinstion back in RID but there are only so many ways to do a G2 Menasor colorset.
I never had any GPS issues, I don't remember any on his joints. I don't have it anymore sadly, it was a casualty of the last medical mess but I don't think he's expensive. He did have very loose joints though, even though they were white plastic. His shoulder/scissors gimmick was pretty useless.
G2 Menasor is up on BBTS for $280, "Pricing not final". Estimated 1st quarter 2027. Seems rather late, till I remembered how long ago the T-spark stuff showing up now was revealed, and how Swindle got beat to preorder or even shipping by things revealed after. Scheduling is really weird lately.

And in honor of Youtube showing me THE SAME TRAILER FOUR TIMES IN A ROW...
