Then i can't for the life of me figure out what the delay is?

I cant either. I was just going to say, based upon the release of DOTM Soundwave, there is no excuse for Que.
Not even on the trademark side of the argument. Releasing him in the same line where the "Bumblebee movie Wheeljack" doesn't create a problem as "Mirage" was still released under "Dino"
"Wheeljack" can easily be released under "Que"
To restate the obvious anyway.
I don't know what the hold up is either. Now "Hatchet"…that thing might be an engineering nightmare. But all this is a conversation for the movieverse Studio series thread.

I wouldnt be happy but would accept a dark repaint of the TLK Scorn. Fudge Ques alt mode if they have to so he gets made. It was fine with Dino. Release Ironhide. Slug Strafe…..Still PLENTY of live action to do but im one of the people getting sick of SS 86.

There's no need to fudge Que's alt mode, as they have the Mercedes license, unlike Ferrari's

I know this comment is from last November but someone ended up liking one my comments that I left on here so I explored the thread a little. Just wanna say, if you want to see genuine frustration, go talk to the live action movie fans who are STILL waiting for Hasbro, who has worked diligently to get the G1 Dinobots complete since G1 was shoehorned into Studio Series BARELY a year ago, to do another Bayformer Dinobot (Hint: It’s been four years since AOE Grimlock was released).

I kind of have to agree. While I am loving the new G1 Dinobots, my hope was to have seen Slug, Strafe and Scorn before hand.
Maybe they will consider it once the AOE 10 Year anniversary approaches? they are running out of characters to do which would be why
they are fazing out the movieverse in place of 86 and Rise of the beasts. the transition makes sense. I had just hoped to see DOTM Que and Hatchet before they finished up.

But seriously, if Hasbro doesn't do him, there's gonna be a LOT of rage from people I feel.

SNARL FOR THE WIN!! He got shafted with the 10 seconds he appeared and nowhere else in the movie. He's part of the Dinobots. Why, WHY did he not make the cut?! But seriously, if Hasbro doesn't do him, there's gonna be a LOT of rage from people I feel.

And darn it, that Hot Rod variant better not just be some stupid recolor. Waste of a slot. Make him a Targetmaster and release variants of Kup and Blurr as such  

Snarl is a ninja

I mean look at the Earthrise seeker releases. All 6 of them got release on the Earthrise line. (Starscream, Skywarp-Thundercracker, Dirge-Ramjet, and Thrust). I don't see it being a problem here. If I were running it, I release a Insecticon 2-pack and the other single. All in the same Legacy line. No exclusive though. We all know we hate that.

All 6 Seekers were released during Earthrise, but only *one* was a standard retail figure.

Skywarp/Cracker, Thrust/Dirge, and Ramjet were retailer exclusives.

I want all the Dinobots then I want them to retool Snarl into an Ankylosaurus and Sludge into a Plesiosaur. Maybe retool Grimlock into a Pachycephalosaurus.

or maybe make a deluxe or voyager Slash and retool that. Wouldn’t be the first time they turned a raptor into a pachy.

Yes. An official Paddles retooled from the coming Sludge would most likely make me cry.

I think the rumor has it as a more cartoon accurate color scheme.

I really wouldn't want SS to delve into "more color accurate" nonsense. It's excusable with Scourge/Sweeps; Optimuses and Bumblebees from different movies also made some sense, but releasing Hot Rod in a slightly different shade a year later would be a huge waste, especially with how valuable voyager slots currently are in SS.

If they fix the color of the hinge on his back that would be incredible, I would buy 3 all over again

Have there been any rumors about the SS86 Hot Rod variant? As much as I’d like it to be an even pink-er Hot Rod, it’s probably either some kind of “Matrix energy” type of repaint or a red-der toy-accurate repaint, neither of which I’d want… would be cool if it came with some extra accessories, maybe a fishing rod or Daniel on his hoverboard…
