Well I think we'll be having that, thank you very much indeed.

Again, yes please. Funny how there's been only one SG toy from both wave that I'm into. So far, at least.

That Exo-Suit mode is a fucking disgrace.

The Exo-Suit mode isn't... entirely... faithful... to the original toy, but I do like that they did at least try. It shows that a little more effort went into it than just repainting Wheeljack, anyway.

Amazing! Absolutely having that. Would have gone for the Wheeljack repaint alone quite happily, the exo suit is wonderful bonus. And we now finally have Hasbro Pulse in Germany as well.

Get ready for a confusing mix of great customer service, inflated prices and even a Core size toy being sent in a GIANT box!

The prices seem bang on for Germany, where discounts are rare and usually small. Unless it's MOTU Origins, in which case they're the complete opposite...

I have had a sudden and terrifyingly expensive thought... which might help make sense of an aspect of Wheeljack/Slicer
Shattered Glass Scorponok/Doublepunch

I wouldn't have space for another one. In fact, I really don't have space for any more Titans!

I don't think it'll be Scorponok. Just doesn't feel right.

They already got their Scorp repaint.
Omega and Cybertron Metro seem more plausible if they were yo be stupid and do a titan.

Yeah, they wouldn't. Not even Hasbro are that crazy.
Are they..?

The comics did seem to be building up to a Metroplex...

Post by Llama God on Jul 1, 2022 7:20:06 GMT
That *is* a good point. And they did do a Selects Titan last year - Black Zarak. So maybe a Shattered Glass Metrotitan isn't that unlikely...

If they ever do drop a Titan for SG, I think it's gonna have to be one that can serve a duel purpose, and be able to be two characters.

Post by Philip Ayres on Jul 1, 2022 7:48:51 GMT
SG Scorponok/Double Punch fulfils that.
Plus the link to the Wheeljack/Slicer via Action Masters and the Spear
PLUS it's another eliminated Club exclusive off Hasbro's list ;-)

SG Metroplex/Metrotitan? Or is that too obscure a pull?
|

Post by Philip Ayres on Jul 1, 2022 9:30:29 GMT
It's either do it with an eight year old mould - T30 Metroplex - or do it with a not ideally shaped mould - the Cybertron Metroplex.

Cybertron Metrotitan would at least be a curiosity!
Much as I treasure the BotCon version, a Titan Double Punch would be irresistible.
But they have to follow it up with Titan Omega Spreem.

I cant imagine there would be any issues using the T30 mould, assuming the moulds were made to the same durability as smaller toys then there sholdnt be any concerns about wear.
SG Scorponok/ AM Double Punch does sound more interesting though.

I’d actually be safe from a Titan Double Punch - since I already have the WFC Scorponok I’m not really fussed about owning it a second time - despite how good that Double Punch colour scheme might be. (Heresy, I know.) Metroplex, on the other hand, I don’t own, so a repaint would be dangerous…

I'd have to chuck a load of other toys to have room for another Titan.

I'm not even entertaining the possibility that this line will have a Titan in it. No. Just no.

If it's that new metroplex they can sod off. It's it's the T30 one as metrotitan I fear I may break. I love that mould.
