I've still never seen Perceptor in stores.

It was just good timing, looked like the case was just put on the shelf. I can say the same for Velocitron Cosmos. Unless I ever happen to catch a case just being out out in shelf, I'm never going to see it in person.

I've only ever seen Cosmos in person last month back at BotCon, when people who already had him were showing him off and playing with him.

Voting for Rounds 5-8 is now live! Link: https://forms.gle/yYUk2racgSh4orbw9

[Overcracker]

Voted.

Kind of conflicted about Megs vs High Octane Bee.

The original Megs is already really good, but I guess a new mold would not be bad.

But we also desperately need a better HO Bee....


Onslaught would basically just be a slight retool of SS LongHaul... so don't think he's really all that necessary, so went with Prime.

[ZeroWolf]

I've voted as well,

Went with Devcon over frenzy

Optimus Prime over Onslaught, just to see how hasbro would handle the design, if they would handle it any differently then last time.

Megatron over Bee, I do like the tlk megs design

Scorn for the last one as we need more non-g1 dinobots!

I too ended up voting Bee. The Megs toys we got were pretty good. I have 5 different molds of that rendition and I like them all.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Went with Devcon cause that is a cool ass design and it really needs a toy.

Went Onslaught cause he does not have a toy yet, and I really want to see the TLK Con Crew done up.

TLK Megatron was fantastic, I don't think they could reasonably improve him, whereas HO Bee needs a complete redo, so I voted him.

Lastly, that round was hard, but I went Scorn. The fact that we got 3 G1 Dinobots in SS before a 2nd live action one still stings, and we need that team complete. Mohawk also deserves to be done, but I think Scorn is necessary first given the Dinobot mistreatment in this line

5? Wow!. I only own the Original Voyager and like him a lot.
The Leader class i got to play around with several years ago and was really good, but never did buy him myself.

I went Devcon, Onslaught, Bee, and Mohawk for basically the same reasons everyone that picked them said. I think Mohawk would make a good Core even if he is out of scale.

The winners from Rounds 5-8!

Percentages:

Devcon: 73%
TLK Prime: 53%
TLK Megatron: 53% (Bumblebee won the IG poll by 1 vote, but Megatron had more of a lead on the google form)
Scorn: 76%


Next round of voting is this upcoming Sunday, in the meantime - if you could pick one character eliminated from the first run of rounds to continue, who would it be?

I'd have to go with High Octane Bumblebee, it's such a cool design that hasn't been done justice yet!

[william-james88]

cant believe Mowhawk didn't win

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

cant believe Mowhawk didn't win

Yeah, we do have some figures of Scorn already, but I think the long time without any SS Dinobots is a big plus for Scorn.

I appreciate the voting and discussion, everyone!

I was really hoping High Octane Bee would beat TLK Megatron, and it was close, but it's all good.

We've gotten the main Bayverse Camaro Bumblebees in order so far (Clunker -> 07 -> ROTF -> DOTM), so High Octane Bee would be next in line if we keep that order going! Maybe we could see it later next year since we have a listing for ROTB Bee earlier in the year.

[william-james88]

I was hoping high octane bee would win too

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Disappointed Prime and Megs one. We need Onslaught more, and we need a good HO Bee more. Megs has a perfect toy already people! At least those 2 were close.

Mohawk is the one that has been voted off the island so far we need to keep. We need that Con Crew!

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Here's the second phase of the bracket! Voting for rounds 9-12 is this upcoming Sunday!

...so not to interrupt the poll, but more Studio Series listings showed up last night: https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/09/16/mor ... dra-465409
-Voyager RotB Rhinox (under the "Warrior" codename)
-Voyager WFC Megatron
-Core DotM Bumblebee (repaint of Laserbeak)
-Core RotB "Delta2"
-Core RotB "Hydra"
Those last two aren't codenames we've seen on other RotB stuff yet, so we have no clue who they are.

WFC Megatron? In Studio Series?

[Nemesis Primal]

WFC Megatron? In Studio Series?

This is the 3rd one of these listings to show up in SS, we've had WFC Bee and Barricade listings as well for a bit now.

So which versions will they be? I mean, I don't recall anything appearing in Bayverse that's referred to as WFC in any way.

There's no concrete evidence that says which WFC currently, although the prevailing theory is that they're the designs from the High Moon Studios WFC game.

We're still unsure. It could be the video game characters, since the game was made by High Moon Studios, but that's just a guess. We're still in the "wait and see" phase. But, yeah, "WFC" showing up in Studio Series has definitely raised a few eyebrows.

Barricade was never in the WFC games though...

[Sabrblade]

Yeah he was. He was playable in the first level, even.

Even if we kinda knew it was coming, I'm very excited for core DOTM Bumblebee!

As for WFC, I'm pretty disappointed that we have yet another thing diluting the line, but if it is stuff from the Cybertron games I am down for some of them, definitely Bumblebee.


EDIT: listings are now up for SS deluxe ROTB Wheeljack and voyager WFC Optimus

Huh... interesting. Well just chalk that up to TF wiki's limited searchability. I type in "Barricade WFC" and get nothing. Now while it being connected with the aligned continuity wouldn't be wrong, I don't think that's what most people associate characters from those games with.

That's odd, I found it first time via DDG and TFWiki searches for "(TFWiki) Barricade WFC".
