On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

I'm glad. I shudder to think what might happen if it ended up on the Wrong Shelf™. Until then, The Universe is safe once more.

I believe Kup has laid his hands on Bludgeon.
(Bludgeon is a Voyager, reillyd.
Then again, so is this Seaspray.)

Not if in the package its mentioned as 'Movie/NEST Line' like other universe releases have used 'Armada line', 'Classics line' and so on. Remember that Universe does not automatically mean a single line but is actually a catch all line therefor you can place it in either shelf and still stick to Hasbro's line assignation. The Animated Legends come in Universe packaging but it's difficult to argue that they shouldn't belong in Animated and would look totally out of place on the Universe shelf which is mostly composed of Classics, Armada and misc 'G1ish' repaints.
Bludgeon is a very good representation of the G1 character and apparently he was inititially designed as such - That Movie Seaspray however looks to be as good represtetation of the charatcer as Universe Powerglide only moviefied which doesn't exactly add to the tribute but I hope to be wrong, just growing ever skeptical and cynical about Hasbro's decisions given the very dissapointing last couple of years.
Of course, whatever we decide to assign the figure within in our collection is entirely up to us. To me Bludgeon is going straight onto classics - Too good a character for the ROTF line
I am directly referring to Universe Powerglide and Silverbolt. One was a rather poor representation of the character (huge, awckward an grey with orange boobs) and the other had the engineering of a Micromaster but with dull colors (but at least he represented the character of Silverbolt well enough).

Hasbro seems to have fallen in love with the legends combiner, I can only hope more are to come.

Yeah I wouldn't mind some more well done legends combiners.
Are we sure that Powercore combiners are to be the next big line associated with a cartoon? It seems like it may be a filler than a main line.

the fact that its not getting top billing it probably is a filler line, but so was classics and look how well that turned out!

It seems like its not being stopped entirely but being made into a Universe subline.confused as always, is there a difinate STOP to the moive line?

True. That's where mine sits right nowOf course, whatever we decide to assign the figure within in our collection is entirely up to us. To me Bludgeon is going straight onto classics - Too good a character for the ROTF lineJust like Fracture (Crasher). They both end up in the Classics/Universe/Henkei shelves in my collection.... but then my arrangement has been more personalized than the standard anyways as i do have shelves for "Unicronians" and minicons only
