Transformers 40th Stream Week 4 Recap

Cal

As long as Hasbro is releasing new figures of Animated characters, do you think there's a chance they'll paint and sell those old Hot Shot and Marauder Megatron molds we saw years ago? It would save them having to design new figures from scratch.  

In before Animated Hot Shot being a straight repaint of Legacy Armada Hot Shot

I wonder when Hasbro will also release Slipstream retooled from Windblade?

We definitely need something like Animated Cliffjumper from Animated Universe Bumblebee, considering the fact that Animated Cliffjumper only got one toy unlike the rest aside from SSBBM Cliffjumper, we need a Legacy toy of Animated Cliffjumper, and we also need other Autobots using the same figure as Animated Bumblebee, which there's a list beside Wasp.

Animated versions of Bumper, Glyph, Tap-Out, Hubcap, Searchlight, Freeway, Chase, First Aid, and Siren do exist, as well as lesser known characters like Sedan (Yes, that is the name of this character because he was a white version of Bumper, Both in G1 and Animated because Sedan was from the Brazilian Transformers line), Furão (G1 Bumblebee's Brazillian name), Moscardo (Also G1 Bumblebee's European name), Carrera and Volks, both Brazilian versions of G1 Cliffjumper and Bumblebee, respectively.

Amazon doesn’t do case assortments like the stores, so no guarantee they’ll have more Tigerhawks.

Well shit… Guess I'll have to use that cash on something else

Why didn't they just make a viper car and use that as Shadowstriker. Side burn robot mode looks almost perfect but the car is trash. The original wins this round by far….

I know, if they wanted to combine the two designs they should've done it the other way around and made Shadow Striker's robot mode (with some Sideburn detailing on the limbs) with a Viper car mode and it would've been so much better. I would've bought the hell out of that mold.

Curious for those who PO'ed Sandstorm: What's the arrival date? Since Tigerhawk is getting repacked with him and I have a $50 gift card with his name on it since I missed the first wave batch, I'd like to know when Sandstorm's going out so I can make sure to nab the Tigerhawk "reissue", since they should both be in stock at the same time

Mine just shipped from Pulse a day or two ago!

Hard to beat a Viper alt mode tbh.

Indeed. I'm glad the bot mode looks so good, though. I was also kinda hoping they'd have done the FunPub reference and repaint 86 Hot Rod with a new head.

You're assuming I have all the Dinobots, I don't. I only have Grimlock. Personally am not a completionist type of collector, just the designs I like the look of. I was waiting to see what Swoop looked like and, honestly, he's not bad I just don't like him enough after seeing him to get him, at least not at full price. I'm glad you like the look of him and hope you enjoy him in hand  

Maybe not, but if it looks exactly like Shadow Striker then it's a definite pass. I can't imagine that they won't have retooled that alt mode, at least a little bit, to get it closer to the original. We'll see soon enough I guess.

Wow sideburn has zero new tooling for car mode. Looks so bad. Why didn't they just make a viper car and use that as Shadowstriker. Side burn robot mode looks almost perfect but the car is trash. The original wins this round by far….
