    I was expecting BW2 Tasmania Kid to just be a Rattrap retool, but that looks way better than expected!
    Although I don't have much interest in buying most of what was revealed simply because they're outside of my radar, I can see that they've executed most of them pretty well.

    Looking forward to seeing Magmatron at some point - I'm assuming that will be next year's commander class.

    I dunno. Hasbro just revealed the big poster for the line, and Tidal Wave appears rather prominently. Twice in fact, because you see him as both robot and in combined form with Megatron. The latter suggests to me that Tidal Wave is going to be a commander instead of a titan, if only because a titan would be simply too large to do that with.

    I've heard Tidal Wave will be a titan class and it will have left over parts when it combines with Megatron. Otherwise, yes, that would be too much weight for Megatron to handle realistically. My guess is the leftover parts will form some base/weapon like Motormaster's do when he becomes Menasor.

    Otherwise, I don't see Magmatron needing to be a titan class. You can use three voyager level figures to make up a commander budget.

    And I'm wrong. Has indeed been confirmed that Tidal Wave is the titan, and Magmatron the commander.

    Makes sense, especially from a scale POV. Tidal Wave was always massive, especially in the Armada cartoon (and even moreso in the PlayStation game); which makes sense considering that he transforms into three battleships.

    And I much prefer Magmatron as a Leader Class, at it would make him in scale with Kingdom and Legacy Megatron. Now for a CHUG BW Galvatron (and TM Megatron).

    I can only hope they're leaving all the show Transmetals (besides Megatron II) for when they can better do the metallic paint. Can't see them being super keen about the vac metal, but they acknowledged feedback about TMII Megatron (which I personally was fine with). We're pretty lucky though that the Transmetal characters in the show were basically 1:1 with their toys, makes the process of making modern toys of them super easy and hopefully focused on nailing the details.
