Hopefully Metalhawk will be a true Pretender!

Re: Possible Legacy Voyager Twincast And Metalhawk Incoming?
In for both
Wonder which tape Twincast will come with? JK, it’ll be Rewind so they don’t have to hammer out a single new sprue while copy-pasting this
I hope Metalhawk rules, I couldn’t get into the Botcon face (you know the one)

It would be fun but weird if they change midstream. Imo if he was, he would be leader to do a shell and a full inner robot. Would be be a pretool/retool of Thunderwing?
I'm sure it hasn't been that long but it feels like ages since we've had a big new dump of pictures and teases!

Not a chance. It is VERY expensive to cast a hollow shell that, essentially, doesn't really do anything. It was an awful business idea in the 80/90s and awful now, economically speaking. Trying to do so pretty much sunk Fansproject. Look no further than Coronation Starscream or Deathsaurus as examples. In those cases, it is a chair, but same idea and it added significant cost and significant retail markup. Why? Because hollow molds like that are large and take up a butt ton of room on a metal mold plate. As a fan, it would be great, as a realistic business person, it doesn't make economic sense, unfortunately.

There is plenty of rumors in the works ahead of Tuesday's stream. I coved a butt ton last night on the live show. Tuesday should give you a decent fix, I would think.

Re: Possible Legacy Voyager Twincast And Metalhawk Incoming?
I'm guessing Metalhawk is a retool of either Legacy Bomb Burst or Jhiaxus.

WTF are you talking about. There are single pieces on Titan class figures that are bigger than how shell halves would be. lol
Fit a core class or a small deluxe inside a normal-sized G1-ish shell and call it a day.
