>>11037856>>11037860>>11037863>>11037874This just reminds me of the long long chain of anons denying/doubting Hasbro and their maddness. Back in 2012 when Beast Hunters trademark happen me and many people here told anons that this was Hasbro trying robot dragons and beast modes as a mainline again to deal with slumping sales. Many push back thinking it was D&D related because no way would Hasbro take the Prime series in such a messed up direction and sure enough six weeks later *boom* Transfomers Prime Beast Hunters was announced. At that point it should have been clear Hasbro is a wild card and will do anything but nope, back when people were sharing Siege leaders were being staggered into Earthrise no one wanted to believe it because they "didn't do that before" and when their were leaks of ER deluxe's in Kingdom anons were like "We haven't seen refreshes in any scale but leader" and hey, look at that, Arcee and Wheeljack, 1 for 1 from their ER toys in Kingdom boxes, and then their was the refusal to think Studio Series would take figures from the mainline to doll up for 86 and again, it happen.
So it's not a question of "if" they will make a commander that isn't a unique mold, it's "when" Might be this OP, might be the next series after United, but it will happen, because Hasbro just offered Netflix Soundwave with his two cassettes at a $20 mark up with only one additional cassette. A four year old mold, no changes outside of paint, is now leader class and cost 20 more for a toy accurate Frenzy/Rumble. So you can bet your ass they could just toon up ER Prime and give him a bunch of extra junk ala Springer.
