The Conjunx was thankfully unimpressed with Shattered Glass Eject, so we won't be picking this one up. Twincast is still on the table though - we just have to wait and see who he comes partnered with now.

Get Twincast too and he can have one on each shoulder.

Probably a bit like the photo above but with a tape deck either side of his head.

But he's having to hold it a diagonal angle. Not enough shoulder room for two tape decks.

It would work. Just needs to be turned slightly.

The Pulse sale means I have been able to acquire all 5 comics from wave 1.
They came with some free toys.
Looking forward to the next wave of comics.

It's June 11th. When's the next one coming?

The leaks had Soundwave and Wheeljack as well as Magnus and Blaster, but it would make sense the comic was a five parter. Phil is trying to scare us into believing the fifth is Rodimus. FP has the first issue up for preorder but it doesn't say how many parts, however it's due 31st August, so idw can just get in five parts and be done by December in time for the license to run out.

Soundwave, eh? I wonder which mould. For maximum trolling, I bet it's the Siege one again.

It is a worry. All depends on when the exclusivity on the ER mould finishes. Unless the cunning addition of a headband means Hasbro can claim it's a different toy.
Bah. Given Netflix Soundwave has been turning up in The Entertainer recently, Walmart should be done with it by now.

Doesn't give the Decepticons many characters - the split was 3-2 in the first set, if Rodders is indeed the fifth that's a 4-1 split for the Autobots. |

I am sure Phil is right. The only other Commander free to do is Sky Lynx.

There's nothing to say it is a Commander, but it's true Hasbro would probably want to reuse those moulds. That said, lots of the Titans have been one-offs.

Post by Toph on Jun 12, 2022 17:54:08 GMT
The fact that there is no logical reuse for the commander is a mark in it's favor.
But, the exact same thing can be said of the voyager mold.
Hasbro's not interested in repainting anything as a new character (if it doesn't have some decades long history attached to it), nor are they interested in doing pre-beast wars (which is about the only thing from FP they aren't redoing). So their options for this two molds are bother either Marvel Comics deco or SG.
A plausible third option, while highly unlikely, is using the commander robot while ditching the "trailer."
Which I honestly I think oversized Hotrod works better for SG Rodimus than it does for G1 Rodimus.

There are five figures in the wave. The final one is a bit of a wild card.

Took Starscream out of the box. Lots of yellowing on it fresh out the package! The dull sort of yellow that affects SSB Ratchet. Also some much brighter yellowing on the back of the upper left leg and lower right leg. A sort of nicotine-stain yellow.
I am really not happy even though I got it on sale. Brand new figures should not have this problem.
