Transformers AotP STAR CONVOY Redone as UK HYPERDRIVE?? 8 Potential Characters For $160 TITAN CLASS!

[@TFfangeek]

I think instead of shrinking the size of Titan Class just to reduce the price, I think Hasbro and Takara Tomy should bring back Supreme class size. If I got to decide eight characters that get to be released in the same size/price as Star Convoy, I'd choose: Super Megatron, Grandus, Sky Garry, Animated Lugnut, Road Caesar, Strika, Raiden, and Primus!

[@superroboted]

Brother - Bingo!!! I said this after the fact but Supreme class could be set to up to $160!!! Pinning this commnet!!!

I feel like they could retool the Ark toy into an animated Omega Supreme

[@superroboted]

The Ark is a great remold for TFA Omega hell yes!!!

[@frenchfriedbagel7035]

Eeeeeeeeh, no.

[@HeyZeusMtz]

I want that very much!

[@maroonknight5252]

I would love an Animated Omega Toy so I would take it being a remold, he really needs his own figure. Omega's legs are the front of the ship while his arms are the back, the Ark is the complete opposite of that.

[@SirTaxFraudALot]

Now that you brought it up, yeah. It makes sense but I need them to FIX THE HOLLOWNESS

[@trycon40]

considering motormaster has an artillery mode i can see that be retooled into a thunderclash

[@superroboted]

That would be cool, but I would also like to see a new mold because they have two figures they could make out of the mold with MW Optimus coming from Thunderclash.

[@mangamegs]

Nope

[@seerus1351]

I really don't like that this new Star Convoy is marketed as a Titan when he's still too small. A whole new class would've been better.

Or just Supreme

[@antiseize11]

Right

[@themysteriousface7633]

Yeah a new Dai Atlas really is needed, considering how perfect they modernized Star Convoy as a figure, even making his base gimmick slightly better. They (Hasbro & Takara) have so much potential to make good on characters like Roadfire or Sonicbomb (Allies of Dai Atlas). Hyperdrive as a Star Convoy redeco would be amazing, hell they could even possibly do some remolding on the figure as well, it'd be awesome to see such a scrapped figure be brought back.

[@DBWalks2010]

I can’t wait for Animated Omega Supreme Super Robot ED!

[@superroboted]

*Which figures would you like to see at the new $160 Titan Class price point??*

[@k.m.k.2976]

This should have been the price of Tidalwave from the beginning.

[@superroboted]

@@k.m.k.2976 True. He should have been smaller.

[@aschex1283]

Give me that overlord ! Ooowee. I have fanshobby double evil, which is excellent and scales super well with star prime, however the ONLY issue is stability. If markclonus and takara tomy uses that black magic they used on this new prime Titan it's over

[@frenchfriedbagel7035]

Thunderwing.

[@tfbuyer4lif]

What is Hyperdrive??? So far the whole list could work!!!

[@superroboted]

Yes because we can do without Haslab for getting these figures. Hyperdrive was supposed to be I think a repaint of Star Convoy.

[@MCDJACDC]

Blue Baccuss and a Landcross

[@MrUniq]

This where I am.

[@Havoc14757]

Maybe the could do some of the Mircromaster bases that where just bases. Then they could get creative with the robot modes. Maybe they could do Nexus Prime as a titan class, since they'll need 2026 Commander slot for Onslaught. Plus the could eventually redo G1 Omega Supreme to scale with 86 Devastator. Though maybe still give that one some time, siege omega is still a good figure in it's own right .

[@superroboted]

I will say no to another G1 Omega Supreme because people have to get over that one episode. Plus he is getting a reissue in 2025. However, TFA Omega Supreme would be better as that has potential to be repainted into other colors. Energon combiners come to mind too.

[@hannahleith52]

The most obvious ones are Victory Saber and Deathsaurus strip out the thrones, flight stands etc keep all the weapons and character specific micromasters It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this was part of the plan from the beginning and they did give the Heroquest HasLab a retail release. The HasLab FAQ's even says "We reserve the right to make the products (or similar versions of the products) available at other sources"

[@superroboted]

Hasbro can do that. However, this would alienate collectors because now your special Haslab version is devalued. The Haslab versions still in terms of plastic quality don't measure up to even the current commander class figures. This happened with Botcon 2007 Thundercracker when in 2008 it was announced Takara would do their version of Henkei Thundercracker and heads rolled. Then heads rolled again when Hasbro announced in 2010 they would to their version of Thundercracker. Yes they went forward but many of the those who attended Botcon in 2007 were very upset. Plus the functionality of Victory Saber/Deathsaurus for the price they are are still subpar, imagine cutting it down even further...no thank you.

[@hannahleith52]

@@superroboted I can see that being a concern for some. I literally have the Heroquest box and though some parts of have been gated to the HasLab backers only (so far anyway) and some have trickled down to the later expansions. I'm currently waiting for my Omega Prime and it wouldn't bother me all that much, but that could be just be me and the fact my first HasLab experience got a retail release and/or because it's probably inevitable they will either get a second funding campaign or a retail release eventually.

[@MrUniq]

I feel the reason we don’t have a Thunderclash is because they won’t do him unless they have the prime repaint and the last few years has been nearly all G1 Prime variants.

[@superroboted]

I mean it's time besides just one year at Botcon...

[@charleshunterii7157]

I’m surprised they didn’t make the ark toy into an animated omega supreme

[@oliverhendrix8176]

I am not.

[@anshumananandgond6332]

Leader Class Dai-Atlas, Titan Class Grandest(Using the Cybertron R.I.D Metroplex as the base mold), Leader Class Thunderclash(Reusing the Kingdom Rodimus Prime trailer and a redesigned Motormaster Cab).

[@superroboted]

All of those are a GO for me!!!

[@cyberextreme86]

Probably Both Thunderwing and Black Shadow Will Be Leader Class and We Need Both Him (Black Shadow) and His Partner in Crime That is Blue Bacchus.

[@frenchfriedbagel7035]

@superroboted Indeed 👍

[@sci-fi.tsunami]

The Hyperdrive robot looks similar to Star Convoy but the truck looks more like a Thunderclash retool. Also, why the hell would they name a truck "Hyperdrive"? That makes absolutely no sense. It's just as stupid as naming a car "Lightspeed" and a motorcycle thingy "Afterburner". All 3 should be jets/spaceships.

[@superroboted]

Kinda sorta...but I'm not doing that video.

[@benconforzi5696]

I don't get why fans all a sudden want such large figures. You would think that it would be a pain to store/display those toys. Personally i'm happy with the size that Leader Class Titan return Overload comes with. I wouldn't want the figures to be any bigger then that.

[@superroboted]

Fans want what fans want. Not our place to understand, or their place to understand you. If Hasbro is making them big, people are gonna want them that big.

[@philharrison2991]

What do you think the chances of Fireflight and Skydive being a repaint of Air Raid and Slingshot? Don't be surprised because it's Hasbro.

[@superroboted]

They could very well do that...

[@TheGilesy31]

Potentially stupid question- why doesn’t Hasbeen start licensing some of those 3rd party figures? Would that not be ideal? Low cost, all Hasbro needs is to provide the packaging specs and jam these small companies with huge demand…? Providing both parties a win win?! Nah? Politics? 😂

[@TheGilesy31]

Fanstoys double evil or Lightning eagle come to mind among others…

[@superroboted]

Never. These 3P companies use inferior and unsafe plastics which cant be sold in stores. It just would not be feasible. Logistics would be a huge issue between companies and also these 3P companies would not be given the right to purchase a license for Hasbro.

[@oliverhendrix8176]

No, the stylings would not match.
