He's a Commander, not a Titan.

For those wondering, this is not an entire radio episode. It's only 9 minutes long.

The individual episode uploads have skipped over from Season 1 Episode 32 to Season 2 Episode 1:

Sentinel's shoulders encourage social distancing.

Clobber

I'd say the "found out the delay years in advance" is a good guess, as Armada was a similar case in that it wouldn't be ready to go until 2002, leaving 2001 in need of new product. At one point, Hasbro had considered extending Beast Machines for another year, hence the later releases of obvious...

Classics may have tapped into some surface-level G1 nostalgia (by which I mean it homaged G1 character designs in a modern updated manner as opposed to faithfully recreating how the G1 characters actually looked in their original 1980s designs), but it was definitely still meant to just be a...

Call it "Flywheels".

The only other Decepticon release of that mold besides Megatron was as Frenzy. Every later release was as the Car Robots/RiD Autobot Spychanger Art Fire/Hot Shot.

That's how Galvatron gets away with all the harm caused by his entirely orange cannon barrel.

Of course, there was another side line that preceded Machine Wars that was the first side line to try to cashing in on nostalgia for the early years of the brand while newer products were on the shelves in the main line: the European "Classics" subline that ran from 1990-1991, during the Action...

Safety Megatron Safety Megaplex

That wasn't a thing. RiD's blue-packaged store exclusives ran concurrent to Armada before essentially being replaced by Universe in '03.

You know, with the whole notion of Megaplex being a decoy clone, it would be really cool if we could get all four Machine Wars Megatron/Megaplex decos to use as more clones: Megatron (finalized toy colors) Megatron (early toy colors seen in the cross-sell) Megaplex (finalized toy colors)...

I'll be driving up on Thursday. Haven't decided what time, but hopefully before dark. 😛

There actually were rejected proposals of Skyquake/Scrash and Dai Atlas/King Atlas mocked up from that Silverbolt mold.

And then Swoop to strafe them!

Another trailer, this time based on the iconic 90s one:

I get the feeling Electro was made in the 2013 set because his original toy was a major GPS victim and a remake of him would serve as a fair replacement. It's possible that they had originally wanted to put him in the 2010 G2 Redux set, but the Generations Sergeant Kup mold wasn't released until...
