That was my assumption, but there's a lot here that doesn't quite add up. I can hand wave most of it with the AI business, but I'm still skeptical. (I was skeptical of the Kranix and Sideways listings, and those were real, so who knows.)

Has HasTak ever retooled a combiner component from a non-combiner figure? (I mean, aside from an add-on piece like Ultra Magnus and even then, I don't think the core figure was actually retooled.) I think everyone's focusing on the WTFness of retooling pre-TM Megatron into the TM one that...

Megatron and Megaplex should be blind-packed. Maybe a few other decos and names too. Megablast, Megastorm, Megacharge, Megacon, Megastator...

The Rhythm is *also* gonna get you. Tonight.

IIRC, the Fall of Cybertron combiner was the seed of the theory I alluded to. I had forgotten there was anything official that supported it. (IMO it works pretty well separately, though RiD is such an oddball series that it's nice to have some corroboration.)

Yeah, the previous Exhaust looked too much like Wheeljack imo. This is better.

It's not much of a stretch to think the (Autobot) pre-Commandos were RiD Wreckers or Wreckers-analogs. Ruination is such a great name. It's one of my favorites-- so much so, that I'm blanking on others. Smolder...

I'd be pretty happy with the rest of Bruticus's components getting independent, non-combiner team redecos. The combined form doesn't have to exist as an an actual named character. It'd be a fun quasi-callback to the bonkers Scramble City/Combiner Wars combinations you could do back when toys...

quick someone call Oprah Winfrey

And Missing Link Autoscout.

Cut out the middleman and just call him Neil.

It's Doctor. Doctor Soundblaster.

Ok. I don't recall seeing any sightings, and I think I only saw the mass retail version once. Leaders are frustrating. Either they sell out fast or they never get ordered (hard to tell the difference!) or they hang around for a loooong time.

Regarding another Target exclusive-- did their SS-86 Megatron ever come out? I never saw it, but I still see the Optimuses. (And I've seen the Insecticon pack.)

I choose to believe that pirates seized the shipment-like literal Johnny Depp cosplayers-- and they're too embarrassed to admit it.

it'd be really nice to get new episodes, given the new toys, but nooooo

Okay, fair, but TIEs? Any spindly outcropping is tricky. I mean, a car is basically a block. A plane is sort of a block with a couple sheets. Spindles and outcroppings make things harder. So I think there's two parts: the designs themselves, and the additional constraints. I mean--...

I still think the decision to make the mech modes as robot versions of characters hurt them. What I (and presumably others) wanted to see was TFs with SW vehicle altmodes. Not necessarily Bumblebee as a Snowspeeder or Starscream as a TIE Fighter, but maybe, or new characters. That being...

vs. Sonic

"Dude, Where's My Jet?" is really fascinating for those of us who remember that promotion. EDIT: I think it's actually "Pepsi, Where's My Jet," I regret the error, but only a little.
