Wdym? It stands for Miami in Action.
Ganon2099
You mean Miami
Mattwreys
now he's in a 2-pack with knockout in a 2-pack on amazon
BlackHawkOmega
mayhem capsule
MercenaryBeck
Where did he end up?
JazzAlert13
Headmasters Pointblank MIA.
Mattwreys
Welp, now we know where that windsweeper ended up
BlackHawkOmega
you mean earthspark?
Ottertron
He was in Earthrise too, so he's certainly on their radar.
Vector Oracle
Yeah, that’s true. I’ve accepted it for what it is and I’m not as annoyed about it now as I was in 2019. Nowadays, I don’t really care as much, although it’d be nice to have if it existed.
BlackHawkOmega
i mean that's just the shift between potp and siege; they were going for different things
Vector Oracle
It annoys me a bit that we still don’t have one 5 years later.

I WANT MEXICAN PROWL
TF Hot Rod
We do have a BB Shockwave Voyager coming in wave 2 yes
BlackHawkOmega
exactly, don't we have a ss shockwave coming next year? it's entirely possible that it's the bb design.
orangeitis
Not if I have anything to do with it. I mean, I probably won't. But that won't stop me from trying.
TF Hot Rod
For Ransack that’s what will be as he’s not a popular name compared to the Insecticons that made it into the show
orangeitis
*I'm* not worried about Core Energon Megatron being a replacement. It's just "doing it in reverse" in my opinion.
What I *would* be worried about is figures like Legacy Tow-Line or Ransack replacing figures with more of their original design elements, overall accuracy, and in Tow-Line's case, cartoon scale.
TF Hot Rod
Oh don’t get it twisted, your gonna get your Leader eventually. Being done as a Core does negate a proper sized version.

OK, if you're saying "fiction, not toys," I'm not particularly in disagreement with you (to reframe my intent, modern Generations are very much the G1 characters in the forms we used to know them in, and not "reinterpretations" in the way that the Classics toys of 2006 were), although I think you're missing my point to reject the toys so fully. The point is that Ruckus really doesn't need to be as large as C16 is suggesting (even if going by the fiction).
