Scorponok seems to come with the show-based head as well as the toy-accurate one, as both heads are seen with unique paint apps, where the show head would be unpainted if it was a “leftover”.

This week: Opinions are mixed on Titan Class Cybertron Metroplex, but there is no shortage of conversation. Also, Brian shares information from this week's Hasbro Q&A.

Remarkably we got a ton of legitimate first looks at upcoming toys before the leakers could get to them!

First, the teased Robosen reveal was not a Bumblebee - I guess that was a bit of an April Fools - but instead a trailer and Roller is being released for Robosen's Optimus Prime. And it costs just as much as Optimus Prime did, while seemingly doing notably less.

Legacy's reveals included Deluxes Elita 1, Tarantulas, Knock Out, and Wild Rider. Elita 1 is known to be a "pretool" for Minerva, who is due to be a Walgreens exclusive late this year. Knock Out is a retool or "partial" of Studio Series Jazz with many new parts, and Tarantulas replicates Blackarachnia's engineering, but with entirely new parts.
