Woah woah woah - so the way I interpret it is that rampmasters are so depressed with being walked/driven all over that should a battle break out they are more than willing to just allow themselves to be sacrificial armour for those of a higher rank?
A glorious, noble way to go, but you gotta ask yourself what sort of society allows this? But they enjoy it you say? Just societal conditioning from generations of abuse I tell you!

A Quintesson would be nice. Energon Alpha Q is rare as rocking horse shit.

ooh, with chunky blue-and-red body and white shuttle components, is Sky Lynx the potential perfect robot-mode for a Countdown-style base?
So we could have a Countdown-style base fitting the Earthrise theme but it transforms into a pre-existing character!

Yes! Exactly! Rampmasters do not make any sense whatsoever!
Pretty astute for Starscream fan, that.

Aha. Wasn't there supposed to be a figure which was an odd choice but fit with Omega?
Maybe the Sky Lynx shuttle can affix to the Omega rocket?

Maybe Skylynx comes with two booster rockets, and Omega's rocket becomes the solid fuel tank.

Oh and Lynx mode could turn in to a tank that could use Omegs track.

Definitely down for a Commander Sky Lynx. Would be even more amazing if the Lynx also had a Countdown style moving launch pad mode that hooked up with Omega. This is fantastic stuff.
I'm wondering how we get Runabout out of this. Doesn't feel like a retail release but being fleeced for a two pack with both sounds right. But how would they make Runamuck different to the retail version? Maybe Runabout will just be a Walgreens or something.

Probably means Wheeljack or Throttlebots down the road.

I reckon Cliffjumper is the Battlechargers

I agree. That's just blatantly someone's wishlist.
It's honestly stupid to put Shrapnel on the list.
No other fan vote has ever "just gone ahead and done the rest, anyway" within the same line.
Needlenose has a higher chance because it's not only obvious Warden wants him, they tried to rig this year's vote to favor him.
But even then, that's not how fan votes work. Because if you just go ahead and do the rest "anyway," you invalidate this, and all future polls.

Now that we can see him in packaging Cliffjumper looks *tiny*. He'd better have some impressive engineering going on, or that rocket launcher better be made of gold or something...

CJ does look like one of those photos from Walmart of a clearly returned box with the wrong toy put back in. Would probably be helped if they had positioned him better and made the giant gun visible as thats supposed to account for the robots small size.
My biggest problem is about what they plan to do with repaints. That mould could be used for an awful lot of characters non of which are associated with a giant gun. Or associated with anything really. How are they going to fill out those boxes?
