Now I come to think of it: the RID2015 Warrior Ratchet was skipped by Hasbro UK! -Ralph As was the Universe 2 version |

We got lots of Animated ratchet, not so much Ironhide.

I always thought that world was called Planet Master.
So... Either repaints of Apeface or Snapdragon, plus another, or a couple TR figures got dug out.
Or Doubledealer repainted into Double Clouder with frenzy/ratbat repaints.
Actually, that seems really likely.

If the Micron one is a bunch of new Micromaster repaints and we can't get it my rage will shatter the skies above.

I always thought that world was called Planet Master. Yeah, likewise. From the looks of the Wiki entry this renaming has been a recent thing, probably to make it "acceptable" to Western markets. Which as you say suggests some TR figures repainted. Or that Clouder idea, which would be clever. Or maybe some of the TR figures with the Japanese exclusive versions of their Titan Masters, for cartoon accuracy? Could be anything, really. I'm guessing that the Botropolis sets will just be simple repaints of WFC characters into Go-Bots. So Sideswipe into Speed-Bot, most likely, or something along those lines. Biosfera's going to be the interesting one... |

BOTANICA!
I dunno why that planet name makes me think of her, but...
She'd go well with Rattrap, right?

I mean that was my first thought, but given these are mostly repaints it seems unlikely.

We should get the fandom mobilised in writing a polite letter campaign to Amazon UK. Show interest in getting this sorted out.

I am emotionally disinvested in this line, and kinda just viewing it as a spectator sport.
Who's going to be in this line? Doesn't matter, I'll never own it, but it's fun to speculate.
This week has kind of put things back in focus, for me.

I'm not sure Amazon UK is the right target: they're dependent on what Hasbro UJ/Europe supply them.
Amazon.com to sort the geoblocking is probably a better one.

This week has kind of put things back in focus, for me. I can't think of any key missing characters that are likely to appear in it beyond Ratchet. If the others are all selects style oddities like the Paradron Medic then I'll be much less worried about it. Netflix has its big hitter in Bumblebee, with the Soundwave desirable to fix the issues with the Siege one, Amazon has Ratchet, but I can't think from the moulds in use at the moment who else is possible. The Ratchet pack doesn't seem to have a wfc-e number attached to it, which makes me think Thrust and Runabout are not in these packs because they already have unique identifiers and the rumours seem to be that they're bound for Target. Who else do we really need? Skids? From what? |

Course there are still some micromaster patrols/squads that aren't represented in generations and there was a suggestion from some of the alternate head sculpts in the 10 pack that the Monster Truck patrol were a possibility. I think Micron here is just as likely to be some micromaster remoulds/paints as it is anything Armada related.
Oh, the missing Targetmasters. They would be a must have.

We've got a couple of missing Powermasters, Needlenose is conspicuous by his absence given his prominence in the polls.
If you want to reuse molds, Joyride and Sureshot could come from the same new toy, a la Ironhide/Ratchet (they didn't get standard retail releases in ER, right?), Slapdash from Mirage. Who would Needlenose be redone as?
I think there's a strong chance that Apeface and Snapdragon are going to be redone to tie into the upcoming Kingdom, but as who?

Post by Toph on Aug 30, 2020 11:49:13 GMT
I think Snapdragon and Apeface will be one offs.
Though my preference for both would be Primal Prime w/ Titanmaster Apelinq, and Grimlock w/Clobber
When we got a real BW Optimus and Megatron on the way, I don't need increadibly forced wrong ones, too.
