Well, you pop you there and double-check, Doc', and take all the world's supply of those idiotic dying Prowl and Ironhide figures up there with you. Off you go.

If sound could travel through space, we'd all be deafened by the sound of the Sun.

While true that space is not a perfect vacuum... That's not enough for there to be sound, though. The molecules in space would have to be close enough to one another to propagate a pressure wave from one to the next. Martin |

These are examples of observations being converted into a sound output rather than sounds themselves.

Snarl and Armada Prime arrived on my doorstep this morning with no dispatch notice from Pulse.
I have more complicated thoughts about Prime, so I need time.
Snarl however is the weakest of the four.
I wish they focused less on making him big, and instead in making him better.
Pull back on the size of his upper torso might allow for a few more moving parts, or to at least make his tail a bit bigger.

I think Prowl was 20. Swoop needs to fit in there as well.
Maybe Hound will be an SS86 release?

Funny how there's only been three Decepticons, one of whom is a repaint of the first, and the other is an import from Earthrise.

Post by Toph on Jul 22, 2023 17:21:53 GMT
There's also Frenzy/Rumble, and Rumble/Frenzy, so that's 5 decepticons.
Megatron is impossible, so that's off the table. Cyclonus and Galvatron got their releases in Kingdom and Legacy.
What's left?
Shockwave, Skywarp & Thundercracker, Triplechangers, Soundwave + Laserbeak and Ravage, Constructicons, and Insecticons
It's been a minute for Cyclonus, so a "more accurate" tweaked deco in Buzzworthy is plausible.
Hasbro could make good money on a proper Soundwave mold, and SS86 is the best place for it. Though that Netflix retool is fine with me for a character I don't give two shakes about, it's rare enough and desired enough that a BB SS86 repaint is certainly a good idea.
Astrotrain and Shockwave are similar to Cyclonus.
Not sure what could be done for Blitzwing. He's like Galvatron.
A cartoon deco BB-SS86 twopack of Skywarp and Thundercracker would be fuggin'hilarious. I'll be honest, I want to see that happen just to watch the nukes go off.
Legacy Insecticons make me wish they were more toy based so they could then pop out a BB-SS86 cartoon deco/retool threepack.
That just leaves the Constructicons. And if they did the damn Dinobots entirely in leaders, I think they could do the Constructicons the same way.

Just transformed Brawn for the first time. That was interesting, without being too complex, though there's a couple of places where parts need to pass each other in close proximity so don't be too HB with it.
Both modes are nice and chunky.
I can't tell if it's a "Burns will love it" or "Burns will throw it across the room in frustration"
But I'd feel comfortable buying it again as Outback.
Gears and Windcharger to go from the 1984 Minibots to complete them in deluxe form.
Powerglide & Seaspray from 1985
Outback, Tailgate & Wheelie from 1986

And Swerve. But we can assume he and Outback will be along if the Gears listing is true.

We've had three Wheelies in recent years though and the TR one is as good as it's going to get, I think. Maybe without the Titan Master cockpit he'd be less flimsy, but that doesn't bother me so much.
