Why a sphinx head for Mirage?

Ratchet looks pretty good, hopefully it'll be out on time for TFNation next month, which has been the case with Walgreens exclusives in the past, TFNation 2016 had a lot of Brainstorms on sale and 2018 had some Wreck-Gars. Everything else on this panel I'm not that fussed about, and while I'm definitely NOT going to pledge for Unicron, I wish the best of luck to those who do.
I'm surprised a Hall of Fame vote wasn't done earlier than now, I suppose they must be saving it for New York Comic-Con in October (has there been any word on whether or not there'll be another HasCon?).

Hah! IDW-headed Impactor: it make sense now that he was retooled into...well, himself.

I think they're referring g to his G1 toy head, which was fairly reminiscent of a sphinx's head.

His G1 toy head does look very Egyptian.

Unicron is too expensive. They need to bring this to regular etailers and reduce the price to $ 300,-

Uhhhhh no. Needlenose was definitely in the lead at the end of the vote.

You got it. Well get that taken care of

Nothing from the studio series?
No homage for Beast Wsrs or the Unicron trilogy?
Man...

Ok, I just went buck wild on these preorders. Snagged everything but the classic animation Optimus and Megatron because I'm still not 100% sold on them. If they turn up on shelves later, maybe I'll reconsider. I have never heard my wallet scream so loud in my life! Hasbro, why you do me like this? You know I can't resist you!

Ratchet looks cool, Snapdragon was hinted and Flint Dille agrees with me that for that price Unicron's head should come off. That's all the positive I have here.

The only reason why Runamuck won over Needlenose is because Runabouts an easy repaint. Needlenose is less obscure then he is due to being in IDW's Robots in Disguise and if anything was neck and neck in the Facebook poll. Believe me I read those comments. This is severly disappointing.

The Toy Reflector should have had new headsculpts plain and simple. The extra parts and new decos just do not go far enough to capture the whole effect without the new heads. Added to the fact they weren't given their Original names, Spectro, Spyglass and Viewfinder, Just defeats the purpose even more. I get what your trying to do and I appreciate the attempt at least but it just isn't good enough.

Oh, they better be doing f***in’ Unicron Trilogy after all this time....

The Micromasters, while kinda boring that they’re just straight redecos with boring names, are a buy for me. Can’t get enough of the nerds.

Odd that they showed off Rung and the new tapes but didn’t officially announce them. Perhaps they’re part of the next line with Runamuck?

I’m hesitant on Astrotrain, but if he’s like Shockwave and is more Voyager-esque with the battle station whatever, I’ll probably get. Titans Return Astrotrain is just meh.

G1 Toy Reflector is a must-have. I have the regular three back in my home state waiting to be sent to me at my duty station, but this set is so unique that it’s worth having. I could always imagine the standard releases as being the clones and the G1 Toy set being the actual guys.

The more I look at Unicron, the less I’m into it. All he’s got going for him is that awesome opening planet jaw gimmick and that he’s f’n yuge and bigly. I know I barely have space in my barracks room for my bigass collection, I don’t know where the hell I’d put him.

There is still that rumored Hot Shot from Hound, and most of the other rumors have come true so far.

I know, but i don’t really have all that much of an attachment to that particular version of Hot Shot. Honestly anything with Armada slapped on it, I will instantly buy.

Forgot to mention too; boxset Impactor looks way better than standard release Impactor, just because of the head. I guess they were trying to do a Marvel look on the standard release, I dunno. A reprolabel should fix boxset Impactor nicely. Thankfully I have a friend that’s willing to split the cost and take the other two, I’ve no interest in Aragon and invisible Mirage.
