>>8741638>Polar Claw being discarded.is this some explicit thing we heard, or just an assumption
because yeah of course they're going to focus on the TV characters, but here's the thing
1. they're selling like hotcakes
2. once you get past the first season, new characters were pretty much already show-accurate, so there's less motivation to make a new toy of the old model that was already 'right'
2b. there also just weren't that many total characters, so if this line does well and they have brains in their heads, they'll keep putting new ones in, as many as a normal trukkformer line gets. Yeah we have the skeletons so that'll be part of it too, but I would not be shocked if we started getting some unexpected oddballs.
Now i would LIKE it to be some of the worst old ones, getting 'fixed', but more likely it'll be the most beloved old ones just getting slightly changed.
Torca is fucking cool. There's no reason that should have worked so well, but it did. those clawish dinosaurian elephant feet.. the fact that the robot shins are the beast mode's entire lower legs yet it doesn't look wrong or flimsy...
