I was thinking since we got Hot Rod last year & Galvatron this year we needed a Sharkticon! I know there are others that would like someone else & there are more important characters out there but Gnaw wold be a great addition.

Also we need a Kup!

I wouldn't be surprised if we got one or both of those figures. I know there's a new version of Targetmaster Cyclonus on the way. Surely Gnaw and Kup are on the list of to-do figures for Universe. I'd imagine that Kup is higher on the list, but Gnaw would be an interesting choice.

An updated Kup would be cool, since we have Hot Rod, and a sharkticon would be awesome, as long as they keep him looking like the G1 Sharticons.

Very eager for Cyclonus!

I'm thrilled for Cyclonus, and despite iffy reviews on Galvatron, I'm still looking forward to him. And I don't even have to *worry* about Scourge, since I've already got the Titanium version.

In an ironic coincidence to this thread, I've actually got Energon Sharkticon among my "Classics" Decepticons. It's a design I love to death, and since Classics is some wacky new storyline in my mind, I can make room for "new" characters. To me, Sharkticon really seems like the type of guy they'd position for temporary leadership of a Mega/Galvatron-less Decepticons in the comics; a definite Bludgeon/Thunderwing vibe. The fact that he turns into the Nemesis probably contributed to that impression I got of him.

Were they to make a Universe Gnaw, I'd like them to keep the Beast Mode more-or-less G1 accurate, but try to make the robot mode less of a butterball. And make that mace-tail poseably, durnit!

Words cannot describe the awesome that could be Universe Gnaw.

BUT HE'S NOT A REALISTIC DESIGN.

Universe sucks. *mutters*

Yeah, everyone thinks that. Heh heh heh...

Oh, wait, on topic, right. Okay, there's the listing in Wal-Mart's computers for an Ultra Scourge. Although this is likely another CyberScourge repaint, the prospect of an enormous Sweeps kinda guy thrills me to no end. Even if it's too good to be true.

As for ol' Gnaw...well, he's getting a Robot Hero. That's clearly awesome, and could be a hopeful sign. Of course, Dispeonsor says otherwise. And as for the realistic designs, I can't count the number of times I step outside my house and see swept-wing space jets with bigass cannons. Happens every day.

The only downside to there being Titanium Scourge and Universe Cyclonus is, well, now I'll never get my ess together and repaint Energon Slugslinger and Sharkticon into that pair. I should finish my half done Sea Team "Sweeps" mini-cons, at least.

Oh, man, I was gonna do a mini-con Cyclonus team, too. Cybertron Razorclaw into "Sawtooth", Shockwave into "Gouge" and Sky Lynx into "Steelgrave". You get about fifty thousand rad points if you can tell me where I stole those names from without googling.

I agree about a classics style Gnaw having a less round bot mode, as long as his "beast" mode looks G1.

I, too, am looking forward to Classics Cyclonus. He'll look great next to Classics Galvatron and Titanium Scourge.

Let me get Mr. Luthor to tell you...

"WRONG".

I dunno, were those names used in Macromasters? I'll have to check that out.
