This figure is inspired by the classic G1 release in 1986 and comes with a sheet of foil labels, including a heat-sensitive sticker that reveals the Decepticon shield when you rub it with your finger!

There are digibashes all over the internet, I think this need is covered with a Google search. Or just, like, imagination.

That Twitter account has had some good stuff lately. They had BB Thrust with that green deco in-box before anyone else, as well as Tracks and someone else. I'm thinking it is real.

The account doesn't mention a name, but it should be Glyph.

I'm wondering if this would mean Tap Out is on the horizon as well
Either way, having her would add more cast members from the 3H Wreckers

o.supreme wrote:Thank You. Never heard of that character, but great for fans of obscure repaints . I'm just throwing this out there, not as a criticism, but as an observation. A LOT of people were down on CW because the same few molds were constantly being reused. WEll WFC has certainly proven that Hasbro is still full speed ahead with this idea. I personally have no problem with it. I mean If we get every obscure deco of every character, that is great, and Hasbro/TT definitely gets more for their mileage. Heck I can STILL think of unused character potential for previous CW molds, though I seriously doubt they'll go back there again.
Combiner Wars was just a bit before I started collecting again, but from what I've seen most CW complaints were about the molds being hamstrung by the combining gimmick. So it was less about characters being repaints and more about the mold itself that was being repainted. I personally do not mind repaints at all provided the base mold being repainted is fun.

The image suggests otherwise, unfortunately

The licensing is one of two things:
The VW tooling can only be used for Bumblebee (which also excludes Goldbug)
VW wants a large share of any profits made from the VW tooling
Personally I wish Hasbro invested in making a third tooling that was a fake VW, particularly like the Classics Bee mold (maybe it could've included the jetski instead of the bazooka). Then we could've had at least two car designs to keep things from feeling samey.

I don't think obscure character lore really matters next to the fact she comes with a bazooka longer than she is tall

Licensors generally don't appreciate it when you design products explicitly to skirt your licensing deal. I'm thrilled we got VW Bees at the deluxe scale in both WfC and SS; the odds were never good for anything else at that scale. I would love a proper Goldbug, but we've only had one other Throttlebot recently, so I'm not in a rush.

Yeah, apparently it was a custom made for Cluttered Desk and the Morgan account used it for the lulz. My bad!

It's Glyph. First released at the 2002 Botcon. Did not know she had so many fans.

To be fair, a featureless generic G1 bot can be updated into anything.
Even a RiD style wolfman while we're at it. ¯\_( ͡°ヮ ͡°)_/¯
They did it for Beast Wars Neo Skyla too.

Even though it's been proven fake, yes, this exactly. Also VW seems to have some very specific use cases for their Beetle design. We've heard it took a while for them to get clearance to use the design for Earthrise Bumblebee forcing him to get moved to Netflix once it was finally sorted out, and the Target exclusive "Scout" Bumblebee traded the VW for Bumper's G1 Mazda alt mode. Clearly it isn't as cut and dry as "good guys can be Beetles", there's definitely more going on here.
Hopefully with all the attention that the custom Glyph got Hasbro will take notice and actually make one. And if they can secure the VW mold then maybe do a two pack with Tap-Out.

Now I'm patiently waiting for the ONLY titan that truly matter, Select Black Zarak. I don't know if DNA Design will make an upgrade kit for him. Anyway, I'm back to my initial plan to get only him. Black Rorichi will be patiently waiting his master until the end of the year. Pass that delay, he'll begin to understandably freak out....
Is there many among you guys who preordered Black Zarak?

Considering ER Scorp was my first, as I don't count my KO Predaking, I want Black Zarack to be my last. I used Amazon gift cards to pay for the Ark already so I only really have to worry about saving for BZ.

Niiiiiiiiiiice!
And the transformation would be quite simple although mega-cheat. The kaiju wear his altmode as a "cape". When "transforming" He simply straighten that cape and hide under it like a blanket. If he can flatten enough, I could deal with this.

Which also is causing second thoughts about the Ark… As someone else mentioned, the display space is a major factor, but for me it really is the $160… Not that I can’t afford it… But there’s still a list of others I know I want as much, a few a bit more, & a couple a lot more. I dread the thought of having to keep the Ark stored away, but thankfully there’s time to decide.
Back to Galvatron… I plan on leaving him almost completely sticker-free.
I dig the main colors, & imo the stickers are a bit much.
Has the “wireframe” version been confirmed?
I thought that was going to be a R.E.D. release… I don’t see how that’s going to work well for a transforming figure.
