    Or one could wait a few weeks and buy it from Big W for $160 odd less. I wonder why they called the smallest Headmaster unit "Emissary" instead of Spike, because we know that Hasbro still holds the trademark for "Spike Witwicky" from Dark of the Moon.

    The Emissary was the name for Cerebros in RID... So maybe it's linked to the trademarks.... Or maybe just a nice nod without causing a "you called it spike? But it's Galen!!!" Fight

    Beat me to the punch, I have been watching RID with the kids lately and thought that it was pretty cool that the headmaster component was called Emissary...

    I get the reference, but it doesn't make sense to me. Imagine if Combiner Wars Swindle was called "Rollbar" as a homage to RiD, but still looked like Swindle and the rest of the Combaticons kept their G1 names. JMO

    If it means that we get a Ruination repaint then I would be all for it

    It would be like taking a heroic character failing a simple translation by warping it's classic and well known personality into your own personal fan fiction, just coz that's what a couple of badly edited comics have done in recent times

    Yeah it seems old how he's holding a gun in the art, but he doesn't include on at all.
    And based on older images of him, I don't think he had a gun in the first place. Apparently you can take out the cannons in his legs, but I want a giant gun to shoot all the lil decepticons trying to dismantle him

    UPDATE: Apparently there is a gun that can be used by Cerebros. It's the gun that the Titan masters can use in City mode.
    I'll update this when I'm needing help finding particular figures
